Seth began his culinary career here in West Haven working in the kitchen at the Captain’s Galley. It was from this beginning that he found he had an interest in the restaurant business and enrolled at Johnson and Wales University, College of Culinary Arts of Providence Rhode Island.

Upon graduation he returned to Connecticut and continued to demonstrate his skills at 500 Blake Street, Chart House and Sage American Bar & Grill. All this time he was working for the day when he would be in a position to own and operate his own restaurant.

When the Mastej brothers learned that the Center Spa location was available they made an offer and soon were the new owner/operators of the popular restaurant.

From 6 in the morning until 7 in the evening Monday through Friday the kitchen is busy at the Bistro. The pasta entrees are a delight to the taste buds. Seth is proud of his menu and that fact that it is prepared fresh daily. All the items get his patient attention to detail for preparation and presentation.  If you can’t make it to the bistro on a weekday, no problem, they are serving from 6 in the morning to closing every Saturday and Sunday.

Seth can only fit so many choices on his menu but invites his patrons to ask for any dish that they would prefer if they don’t see it on the menu. He will do his best to accommodate any request if it is possible. But don’t be shy if you don’t see it ask.

Nick has taken a well-deserved retirement and has transferred ownership to the Mastej family. They are young energetic and willing to serve. If you have been thinking about giving the Blue Diamond Bistro a try, delay no longer. I believe that all it will take is one visit and you will become a regular.

“The prices are right and food is great”, that’s a comment that I overheard from patrons at a nearby table. Spontaneous positive reviews are the kind that says it all.
