Our story is like many others. Nine years ago, we came to America with two bags of luggage and two big dreams. The first and biggest dream was to start a family. And we did. We now have three beautiful children, a four year old girl, a six year old boy and a new baby. Without doubt, we are blessed.Our second dream was to introduce Connecticut to our Romanian culture and cuisine. Hence, we came up with the idea of Cafe Transilvania. We owned Cafe Transilvania for many years which was a success, which is why we decided to open Transilvania Restaurant and bar.

    First time here with 2 friends so I didn’t know what to expect. The place is very nicely decorated and tables are spaced nicely. We ate in the main dining room and being early evening on a Monday it was not overly crowded. Service was excellent. Plenty of choices on the menu for us to choose from. We all enjoyed our meals and will definitely be back

    Lockworks Tavern has delicious food, fantastic ambiance..brick walls , high ceilings and really was a Lockworks factory many years ago. Next door is their sister restaurant, a steak restaurant that uses the recipes of a famous Chicago restaurateur, David Burke. The Prime Rib will knock your socks off. Incidentally , you can sit on the tavern side and order the steak from the steak restaurant. A breathe of fresh air for Branford.
