Geronimo and chili peppers: a love story

Published Friday, November 9, 2007

If restaurants were named after what they do best, New Haven’s newest restaurant would be called “The Chili Pepper.” Unfortunately, this plan is just too rational, and “Geronimo” will have to serve as the moniker of the new eatery on Crown Street.

Across from Salvation Army, between High and College streets, Geronimo calls itself a “Tequila Bar and Southwest Grill.” This description couldn’t be more fitting (unless it included the word “chili” somewhere), because Geronimo is fundamentally a bar and grill spot. The food is upgraded grill fare with a Southwest flavor (chili peppers)...

I see Geronimo Restaurant more as a drinking establishment rather than a place to eat. however, the drink prices are probably too high for the average student. Our dinner of pork chops and shimp, both with standard louisiana styled spice rub was just okay, if not uninspired.

Any idea why it's named Geronimo, with all the controversy at this university? Come on - is the skeleton decor really necessary?

Visited here 8-21-09. A serving for 2 of guacamole & chips (chips like the bottom of the bag-all broken) costs $11.00. That's Outrageous and insulting. Won't go back.
