“We had food experience, everything is made in house. The staff is excellent and we got to meet the chef and the owner's son. My wife and I travel quite a lot in America and Europe especially Austria and we have to say this is a hidden Gem. Everything we had was above and beyond. Thank you everyone at Carmine's for an excellent meal and good time.“
“I usually order on doordash because I am a lazy potato but today I picked up in person a big order of Buffalo wings for a get together. 10/10 these wings are so good! Cooked perfectly, not soggy from the sauce, good texture and comes with ranch for dipping. I also like to get their cheeseburgers, they are decent for the price, and the cheesesteaks and chopped cheese are also really good. Whenever I get fries they are not soggy, served in a little bag. Overall if you are thinking of trying their food, you should! I will keep coming back because the food is good, always quick and reasonably priced.“
“I absolutely love 'the crack'!!! Denise is so fun and wonderful...my jerked chicken Caesar salad is to DIE for!!!! Always have spectacular IPA's on tap!!! Usually get my Counterweight "Headway" mixed with something...Do yourself a favor...get to "The Crack"!!!!“
“Este lugar es genial! El ambiente es super acogedor y el personal también es muy amable, se nota que hacer felices a los clientes es su principal prioridad. La comida es bastante buena, pedí los clásicos peruanos super super deliciosos y por sus precios vale la pena al 100%.“
“Decent little place, i had the 5pc boneless honey bbq wings and they were good, they were pieces of the tenderloin so they are pretty large and they weren’t breaded very heavy(a definite plus for me) just lightly breaded enough to hold the sauce, they were cooked all the way but not over cooked, they were tender and juicy. Staff was friendly and service was pretty quick, from order to table in about 5-7 min. and that was around 17:45. The table I sat at was clean an comfortable as I had eaten it there, they had tv mounted on the wall to watch while waiting for my order. The price was also reasonable. I will visit them again.“
“Great food and craft cocktail selections. Parking has limited spaces. Not exactly fine dining. Overall, the menu is well thought out, and the food experience was delightful.Dietary restrictions: Several gluten-free offerings, such as pasta and bread.“
“We had a party of 3 so tried everything on the menu and we loved it. The roasted squash was probably the star of the show. All of the entrees were nicely sized portions and well executed. The butterscotch pudding was great. Service was also top notch. Angie took great care of us and I would request her great service next time we come in. This concept is truly special and I hope it flourishes.“

“I wanted to visit my ex coworker Zach @ J Gilberts and maybe get a Burger cuz that's what I had my only time there and its one of the best burgers I've ever had. Plus I didnt want to go too crazy. But when I got there Zach told me about the 16Oz Dry Aged Kansas City Strip Steak Special that they had. I decided to go all out cuz I wantedto see if their steaks measured up to their reputation. Zach recommended a Pinot Noir from Washington that was a perfect pairing for the steak. I gotta say the green beans that I had with a jam and crumbled pecans were insanely good with the garlic mashed potatoes. AND the steak had a nice charred exterior with a perfect juicy medium rare interior. I decided to treat myself and if you are ever thinking of doing the same go to J Gilberts and ask for Zach....you won't be disappointed....you will have one of your best restaurant experiences of your life!“
“Solid food and great atmosphere. The fish really was cooked beautifully and the staff was top notch. Yummy fish and chips.Today we had a couple of apps and they were quite tasty. Calamari was really solid and my buddy got the Buffalo shrimp. They had a special swordfish entree with Lobster risotto and it was really quite tasty. Solid work per usual.Delicious clam soup and salmon dish. The spetzel (sp) was fun and unexpected. Also decent pours for your gin on the rocks. Bombay would be proud. A little heavier handed would be appreciated but better than many places. The burger looked great and the chicken parm was large and tasty. Some of my buddies shared some bites at today's group lunch“
“Best steak I've had anywhere in CT. Took it to-go and it was still perfect when I got it home. Maple cream cheese Flan with scorched marshmallows was uniquely flavorful. Fast bar service while waiting with good local choices. Can't wait to come back with family.“
“love a good Gastro pub and Union Kitchen did not disappoint. Truly wonderful and friendly staff. genuinely nice people which is a refreshing surprise. The food was excellent. Stuffed Queen Olives and Whipped Ricotta toast were incredible. main courses Shrimp and Scallop risotto and the Lobster Rigstoni arrabbiata could stand up to some of the best italian and seafood restaurants. Atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming. would definitely visit again.“
“The food is insanely good. My friend and I dine at Trumbull Kitchen before we attend Hartford Stage, and she was still extolling her dinner on the drive home after the show. She had the marinaded steak. The best thing was the response to her request to replace the fries with veggies. The choices were plentiful, and the side salad that arrived was gorgeous.My dinner was equally delicious, seared tuna with salad. Yummy and beautifully plated. The salad dressing (served on-the-side) was exquisite. We each had reasonably priced glasses of wine.Julian, our waiter was running, as was everyone on staff when it became crazy busy at around six o'clock. The bar was hopping and there was a line waiting to be seated. Yet, he checked on us every 5 to 10 minutes and made sure we were well supplied with the spicy, chip-like crackers that come in the bread basket and are irresistible.If there is one negative, it is the very loud sound system which pumps in thumping music that you might want as background for a weight-lifting class at the gym, rather than for dining. I am sure there is a metric that tells restaurants and bars that people drink more if they can't hear themselves think. Personally, I find it offensive. If I could have done, I'd have changed the selection and turned down the volume.“
“Very loud and echoey.Asked for an unsweet tea ended up getting a Lipton lemonade tea.I really wanted to give this place a bad rating cause of obnoxious customers but as soon as the food arrived 5 stars isn't enough.This is the best Mexican food I've found this far north.Got the Mexican menu breakfast burrito sub chorizo and bacon.HOLY COWSavory, salty, spicy and tasted amazing!I'll definitely be saving this place and visiting any time I'm in the area.“
“Where do I begin Family? Goldburgers deserves every single star for they go out of their way from the moment you step foot in the door to make you feel at home. The menu board is POW, right smack in your face flooded with options and for a first timer there, it could possibly be overwhelming to decide on just a few items but they are right there to hold your hungry hand and walk you through their wonderland of foodie options. Now I went in a few directions.... Let us begin with the Mac Squares that are made to attack your tastebuds in a way to bring creamy delight with an orchestra of cheese and a sweet symphony of seasoning on the fried breaded goodness that the macaroni is encased in. A single bite and your eyes widen with glee. You are nothing short of happy as you continue to chew your way through this playground of flavors that are meant for the masses. My Fat Attack did not stop there folks.... I also had their 50/50 which consists of half sweet potato fries (as my choice) and half Super Sized Onion Rings that had all types of crispiness to their own bite. Now the fries were good....Nice light Sweet and Salty vibe, they. kept you going back for more but these onion rings were made for the Champion in you! Large and in charge, crispy with a nice snap on the onions. It the batter for me that wasn't greasy but inviting. The Tso-ly Loaded Waffle fries, hit a homer and sent the rest of my appetizers to home plate and we all started to cheer within my mouth. What better way to bring about a wild and savory bite than to have some Ginger Soy coming in tangy and Chipotle Mayo barking up the right tree in way of packing a nice creamy yet spicy punch in my mouth over the crisp on that fried broccoli - TALK TO ME BABY and love me the way you do!!! I just worked you all the way up to their POT ROAST SANDWICH!! Yikes!! The easiest way to break this one down is to say, scoop your pot roast from your bowl and then slap that tasty monstrosity between two fresh buns of soft haven fun and now take a BITE!! Tender Beef, Onions with the Gravy Dripping and as you chew, a single tear drops from your eye for you've just experienced something amazing. Your soul thanks you on this one. Goldburgers, I WILL BE BACK BABY!!!“
“Had a huge burger, perfectly cooked, must have been flamed broiled as it had those nice crispy bits that can't be replicated with anything but fire. The pulled pork mac & cheese was great too, heaping portion of a nice creamy mac topped with pulled pork, bbq sauce, and finished with toasted bread crumbs. First timer, was there for Tuesday night pool league, had live music and good food, give it a whirl.“
“I want to start the review by saying that I do have a background in culinary being an executive chef for many years and now teaching culinary.My wife and I decided to try this place for dinner and we're not disappointed. In fact, we had a great experience!I want to also say that everything there is made in house, using quality products, including the rolls for the sandwiches. My wife and I split a rigatoni Bolognese to start. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the meat sauce was authentic and delicious. Next we had a meatball calzone with ricotta cheese and mozzarella. The dough was so good as I was cutting pieces with the meatball and cheese making like little sandwiches, I can honestly say it was great! We also ordered a pizza which is made thin crust nice bubbles coming out of the oven, beautifully brown on the bottom crispy crust. The tomato sauce and cheese of a high-quality as well as the other toppings. I would rate this pizza, an 8.8 out of 10. Leaving room for the pizza meccas In New Haven. If you don't want to drive an hour, I recommend you try the pizza here! I had to try a half an order of shrimp scampi, the shrimp were done perfectly not overcooked, linguini was al dente, and the sauce is about as good as I've ever had, capers, sliced fresh garlic, lemon. I also ordered an Italian cold cut grinder to go with plenty of mortadella, capicola, salami, and pepperoni reminiscent of Franklin giant grinder in the south end of Hartford. I planned on reviewing the restaurant so we also have lunch tomorrow! It's a gem in Cromwell that shouldn't be missed!“
“My wife and I had our first dinner at Vinted Wine Bar tonight. My wife has had a good amount of experience at Vinted, but it was my first time there. Top to bottom... TRULY EXCELLENT!! We shared a nice bottle of Daou Cab while sitting at the bar, and started with the Whipped Hummus, with Crispy Scallion Cake. Best Hummus you'll ever eat, and the warm crispy thin cake slices are very delicious with the Hummus. Terrific! Then we split and shared 2 entrees: The Chicken Milanese, and the Vinted Prime Burger. Both, also super delicious. Rich, flavorful, perfectly prepared by the talented crew in the kitchen lead by the executive chef, and partner, Mike Voight. Ate every bite of everything. Lastly, for desert we shared the Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake. Holy cow, that is one incredible desert. Our bartender Chris was very helpful, friendly, and although busy had time to talk with us. And we found all the staff, extremely personable. Mike has a finely tuned ship in Vinted. We'll be back. #impressed“
“If you love fresh seafood dishes prepared well and a great bloody mary, this is the place. I like a lot of horseradish in my bloody marys and that is what you will find here. They know how to treat gueats, they willingly split our salad and our entree.“
“My boyfriend and I ate here tonight 3/14/24 and our server was Victoria. She was very polite the entire time. However, she forgot about my boyfriend’s beer. She was also talking and flirting with a man right behind where we were seated for most of our dinner. They were flirting the whole time, and the man was touching her in which I consider to be an inappropriate fashion. It was not the kind of sight you need to see at dinner and was gross. It took her a while to realize she forgot the beer because she was talking to this person the entire time rather than waiting on us. I recognize that this is not the fault of the establishment. I just feel as though our dinner experience was uncomfortable and feel the need to voice my concerns. We will be back! We love this place. Service could have been better.“
“We just had a brunch for 70+ people after a funeral here last weekend. The owner was wonderful. I did not have to worry about a thing. The food was terrific, the staff wonderful, the venue perfect...they could even have accomodated more folks if needed. I didn't have to worry about thing. I highly recommend Cotton Hollow Kitchen. Very pleased.“
“Dante and the crew hosted the Wolf Pack Booster Club and the Providence Bruins Fan Club for family dinner yesterday! It was awesome. The food was amazing, the service was awesome and the experience was great. I appreciated that they were able to accomodate a large group before a big game. Awesome Cheeseburger pizza as always!! The garlic knots and the meatballs were also amazing!“
“Well I don’t Know because first we did happy hour in the dining area because we brought are kids so yesterday they said no we don’t do happy hour here in the dining area only bar area. Ok since when ? But the manager said only for today then it was 4 of us and they didn’t want to divide the bill they want to spilt the bill in 4 I said no we ordered different we want to paid what we ordered.“
“GREAT MEAL, GREAT SERVICE & GREAT ATMOSPHERE!!This was our first visit to The Beamhouse... we will definitely be back!!Our party shared a few appetizers, salads and Pizza!! All were so flavorful... amazing!! The pizza was perfectly cooked in their brick oven!The Chefs definitely used the freshest ingredients!Our main meals included mushroom risotto and fish and chips! Again, the fish was fresh, flaky and crispy! The risotto was so flavorful!!Although we were quite satisfied, we still made room for dessert... an amazing carrot cake!!The best part of the experience, for me, was that they were able to accommodate my gluten free requests!! Our friendly Server took extra care in explaining which menu items were gluten free (there were several options... including DESSERT!!) and clearly the Chefs took extra care in preparing my meal!! I was so grateful to the entire Team for the special care and attention offered to accommodate my restrictions!It was a wonderful experience and meal!! We will definitely be back!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“
“Just found this Birch Hill two weeks ago and we've already been twice! Absolutely love the food, atmosphere and staff they are so friendly (almost forgot to mention the drinks. .excellent) Cassie especially made our evening great by accommodating our large group!“
“Needed something for dinner after a long day and decided to stop in after work. Others in my family have had the food here and enjoyed it. I had the turkey burger and it was delicious! I haven’t eaten an entire burger in one sitting in forever but I did today. Fries were nicely cooked as well. I’ll be back to try other menu items.“
“We were definitely under dressed but stopped here on a whim and it was a good experience. We will definitely be back. My son had a dairy and soy allergy and I don’t eat dairy and they were beyond amazing with allergies. They can really accommodate anyone with an allergy! We will for sure be back. It was also very big portions and reasonably priced. Kids meal is only $8!Dietary restrictions: They are great with any allergy precautions!“
“Can't say enough about a place my family routinely requests for dinner outtings. What a find this was years ago and glad to call it a staple in our eats tour.I personally love the look of the environment and the variety of rooms to be seated in.The food is always delicious, well paced for courses and never disappointing.Fried Brussel sprouts is a must and working from one end of the menu to the other is an adventure.“
“This spot is one of my go to restaurants. The food is creative and locally sourced, there are fun specials, the cocktails are hit/miss. Service depends on how busy the restaurant is, it seems like the servers get relatively large sections so when it's busy you might not see your server for a while but they are very attentive when you can get a hold of them. The dessert and coffee is always very good!“
“The food is out of this world!!!!! The fried chicken is so moist and perfect. I got the honey mustard wrap and garlic parm fries and it was divine!!! My bf got the southern fried chicken and it was phenomenal. Even the nachos and chilli were fantastic! Cannot go wrong here. 10/10!!“
“I just moved to town and was alone in my still empty house. The Burrstone Rd Friendly’s was close so I did a take out order online. It was done when I got there and the ladies working were so nice! The BLT was actually quite good on sourdough and the onion rings were awesome.“
“I'm officially a big fan of Artisan and Chef Michael. Chef Michael catered a film we filmed in West Hartford and did a great job, so I thought it would be nice to take my wife to Artisan for our anniversary. We were not disappointed. The service and presentation was amazing and the specials were delicious. We will definitely return. Artisan has just made my top 5 list for fine dining in CT. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.“
“This charming restaurant is the perfect spot for a romantic evening. Clean environment, soft lighting, and elegant decorations. Views of the lake add breathtaking backdrop to the dining experience. One of the highlights is the kissing bridge-if you are in love, it's a must do - and yes, I did share a memorable kiss with my fiance there. Highly recommended for a special night out.“
“A phenomenal concert venue right in the heart of downtown Hartford, CT. Come see your favorite act But don't forget there's a great bar inside before the show and there's also a bar in the concert hall for refreshments during the show.“
“An absolute gem on the main drag in Manchester (not the mall area!) We came in at 5:30 on a Friday and we’re greeted right away. The drinks we tried were both fantastic. We ordered the Brussels sprouts app (my wife loves them, me not so much) and ended up cleaning that plate. We both did salads for dinner. Steak for the wife and I grabbed the cheeseburger salad and some wedge fries. Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious. Dinner for two with an app and two drinks was priced well. The server was polite and timed her table visits just right. Don’t sleep on this one.“

“Manchester is my home town but I live 2000 miles away, but e when I return home I try to hit Shady Glen. SG is renown for its cheeseburgers and ice cream. Those are completely great choices, for sure, but I go down-menu for a scallop platter or whole belly clams. I get their fries and Cole slaw whenever I can. My mom accompanied me this trip, and just ordered French fries and Cole slaw, with a half-gallon of chocolate chip ice cream. I can't argue with those selections. Perfect. I got a hot fudge sundae with mint chocolate chip, scratching a childhood era itch. I love this place.“
“Cannot say enough good things about The Hollow. Whether you are a golfer or not the restaurant should be added to your regular rotation. The food is top notch, everything on the menu is fantastic. My favorites are the loaded potato chips and the Brit burger. The staff is friendly, the drinks are perfect and everything is reasonably priced (especially here in 2022). Did i mention the view from the patio is beautiful? This restaurant is a must taste!“
“This place is a hidden gem. Food is always good. Service is fantastic -- K, K and A are always awesome!This is a great spot in the summer when the deck is open to have a drink or appetizer outside.I also have to give ten stars to their Winter Brunch menu -- we went here just the past weekend and it was hands down the BEST brunch we've ever had in town or when traveling. Everything was excellent -- highly recommend the frenched toast. My husband said the Bacon Egg and Cheese he had was the best ever. They are doing it all right!“
“Solid breakfast joint with fresh ingredients and cooked to order - with the BEST service from a different time and place, where people cared and customers mattered. I will stop by again when I'm passing through town to remind myself how things SHOULD be.“
“Red rock is a great place to gather and have a delicious meal. They have great rotating specials and a menu that can accommodate a wide array of diets. Some of my favorite items they serve are eggplant Parmesan, their homemade hummus, all of their salads, and any pasta dish they serve.“
“Love going to this well-established neighborhood bar/Italian restaurant. I live fairly close by. I treat myself once or twice a month here. I absolutely love the service, food and portion size. I eat my meal, and always have a take out portion for two more meals. The booths are roomy, and don't get me started on how good the mini baguette rolls are. Readers GO HERE. The bar side is always HOPPING! I may sit in there next time. Watch out!“
“Went to Sunday brunch Jan 21st. I placed a review in Yelp; therefore; this will be brief. I thought the food and temperature of the food was excellent. Lots of varieties; meats; veggies; pasta; salads; fruit; sides and desserts. Mimosas; champagne and Bloody Mary's were great. Plenty of parking and fast seating. The hostess allowed us to choose any available table. Our Waiter (Junior) was attentive; fast; accurate; professional and funny?. I noticed the Wait staff and Hostess were dressed in uniformity; wearing white shirts and black slacks. HOWEVER; I could not believe my eyes ? when I saw the 2 guys at the carving and omelette station. They were wearing "street" clothes (sweats) and beanies on their heads. They were not dressed in uniforms; or at least wearing aprons and matching caps or a hair net. Thank God they had on gloves. Totally; totally unprofessional and unsanitary. Everything was good up until seeing that; very disappointing.“
“Visiting from Texas I was excited to find this gem. We ordered the Family Deal and thought it was a great deal! My only observation is that the guy didn’t know what a “marble cut” is. Like, how can you sell bbq and not know what that is. I briefly explained that there two parts to a brisket, the marble cut or the lean.“
“Great old-fashioned diner with a Polish twist. My eggs/bacon/pancake breakfast was fine, and the cheese pierogi with onions and sour cream were fantastic -- the cooking makes them more like part of a meal instead of a snack. They were so good I couldn't finish my pancakes!“
“My experience here was fantastic. Very friendly and professional. The tables are well kept and cleaned, including the balls every night. The food was great, pretty basic menu. The service was great and I have nothing but kudos to ladies that wait on us. There is league nights, so call for public availability first, I strongly suggest. This establishment is well kept, I strongly recommend to family and friends, also to the public.“
“I was at Kbarr 2 Friday's ago June 16th to be exact I had a great time. I just missed the happy hour ?? lol but still had a great time food was amazing Maddie the bartender was great made the best rum punch I've ever had it was better than the rum punch I was drinking in Jamaica...the food was great as well as the atmosphere I definitely can't wait to go back to see my Girl Maddie she's my new favorite bartender. Oh yeah this time I will make happy hour??? see ya'll soon!!!“
“This restaurant kept going all through covid and was a lifeline for my family with good food at a time that was very stressful. They earned my continued business because of their faithful service to the community despite challenges. Most of my orders with them have been to go so I can't comment on the service per se. But the times I have been there the service was prompt and enjoyable. Personal size veggie pizza is my favorite.“
“Even if the food wasn't good, the service is a delight. A young girl seated us and waiting on us and was there for our every need. A lady, presumably the owner or someone as responsible, took our order and was able to make suggestions according to what we knew we liked. She even upsold me a dessert we didn't know we wanted and needed.The food was exactly what we wanted - healthful and flavorful and executed really well. The falafel was the most moist I had ever had and I hate to use the word fresh because of how it gets thrown around ..but everything was fresh and made in house.We're not from Connecticut, but we'll go out of our way to come back if we're coming down the road.“
“I stopped in for the first time the other day and I just wanted a simple breakfast sandwich. . The owners/staff was super friendly and the food was great! I can't wait to go back and try other things since they have a huge menu!!! They have a few picnic tables in back but it was cold out so I took my sandwich to work. Love it here!. Highly recommended!“
“Price to quality was excellent; from kids new to our hamburgers we made to perfection; French fries was fresh. Garden Salad was perfect.Parking: Lots of parkingKid-friendliness: Very kids friendly and had watermelon or fries optionWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“If you find yourself in East Hartford CT you definitely have to stop at Augie & Ray's, the staff are always friendly I recommend their breakfast sandwiches always add a hash brown onto the sandwich you can request that, it turns a amazing sandwich into an even more amazing sandwich, I also recommend their pepper and onion cheese burger and their chili cheese dog with the toasted bun fire ?? writing this review has me wanting more I definitely will be back that's a promiseKid-friendliness: Yes definitely kid friendly“
