“Drink: Getaway Guava Margarita (Specials Menu)Appetizer: Fried PicklesMain: Welas Carne frita, Charlie’s flat breadSide: RisottoThe drink was good but not really tastes like a margarita, more like a mojito but it was good. The fried pickles were nicely breaded and crispy. Would recommend, maybe hold off on the sauce since it was very salty. The Charlie flattered was good. The welas carne frita has sauce on side so it may be best to get sauce on top.“
“Great food, friendly staff, seemed to offer a lot of games and activities would be more fun to go in the evening. Pool tables and arcade games. We went for lunch, a local spot for sure, everyone knew each other. Have to come back in the summer to play volleyball on the courts.“
“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.“
“Stopped here yesterday. So glad I did. After reading the reviews was a must . Was greeted with kindness and a smile . Sat . Waitress was friendly! Great for families. Wide selection menu items. Owners greeting young families with young children with donuts . You can feel that they love what they do. Very passionate is nice to see. I ordered the Philly omelette with coffee. In minutes Served hot. Very good . I will be back.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Excellent vibe and atmosphere. I've only been solo 2x at the bar.. the Bartenders are awesome. The food is high quality, but over priced for the portion size and my Entree one night was overly salty and the next time I went my vegetable with my Duck breast was salty as well. I appreciate seasoned food. Being a part of the food service business for almost 35 years in various capacities makes me a food snob I suppose. I'll have to try some different items. The Curry- Crab Soup and Maple Dessert was awesome.“
“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“
“A true hidden gem! Though the menu may be on the slightly smaller side, the portion sizes are good, and everything is fresh and tastes amazing. It’s obvious that the owner (who is super sweet) has a passion for cooking and making high quality meals. The chicken banh mi sandwich and the bowl are personal favorites, as well as the Hawaiian Pork Bowl, Thanksgiving sandwich ….and of course the (to-die-for…) chocolate chip cookies.“
“We ate here late on a Sunday night (8:15) before heading out on a long drive. Everything was perfect - the atmosphere was really warm and somehow both super calm and happy; the menu was awesome and the food was really delicioius, and the service was attentive and fast, but not rushed.“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“I visited this restaurant last night and I was NOT prepared for how phenomenal the food would be!! I highly recommend the braised short ribs, charcuterie board, and the hazelnut cheesecake. Atmosphere was cozy, service was impeccable. Will definitely be returning and recommending to all my friends and family!“
“Beyond fun atmosphere and food and drinks were delicious and different. Plus staff actually seems like they LIKE being there...love that feeling... and have been back twice since my wedding dress shopping daughter took us the first time to celebrate finding the dress!“
“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.“
“I attended a baby shower but poked my head in the other room. Very casual atmosphere which I personally enjoy. The food was good. We enjoyed chicken, vegetable mixture, roasted potatoes , seafood risotto, pasta alla vodka sauce and salad/bread. The service was very attentive and friendly. I would go back there again!“
“Best Irish Pub Restaurant in the state. Food is outstanding, atmosphere is green, staff is wonderful. Art and MaryEllen do a stand up job, from appetizers, chilli, wings, onion soup. To the entres, sirloin rib tips, to deserts bread pudding. Place is amazing.Parking: No issues“
“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!!!“
“We have been here a few times already for their holiday buffets. The food is scrumptious. Its hot, fresh and flavorful. The waitstaff is very friendly and helpful. It's decor is lovely and it's very clean and neat. I will be trying the regular Sunday Brunch buffet as soon as it fits in my schedule and I can't wait. If you're going to try a holiday buffet, get reservations early because they are very popular. Please tey them you won't be disappointed.“
“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.“
“My first visit to this restaurant was a delightful surprise orchestrated by my husband for my birthday. We were seated upstairs, but upon exploring downstairs to the tavern area, we immediately decided that our next visit would definitely be spent there. Recently, I organized a girls' night out and made a reservation for the tavern, and it exceeded all expectations.The evening kicked off with a perfectly crafted dirty martini that set the tone for what was to come. The wine selection by the glass offered an array of choices, which was greatly appreciated. Our meal selections were varied yet equally impressive: I opted for the salmon with risotto, Rachel savored their chicken dish, Danielle indulged in the burger, while Dev enjoyed the flatbread. Our appetizer of Brussels sprouts was nothing short of exquisite.Throughout the evening, our waiter provided impeccable service, always anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. I couldn't help but express to him that if the restaurant were closer than 25 minutes away, it would undoubtedly become our regular haunt. He was consistently attentive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and always being a few steps ahead of us.Overall, our experience at this restaurant, particularly in the tavern, was nothing short of spectacular. From the drinks to the cuisine to the exceptional service, it left a lasting impression, making it a place we'll eagerly return to whenever the opportunity arises.“
“Very good food and friendly staff...the place is an old western theme diner so there's a funky cowboy mural on one wall!Prices were great and quick service.They could use a grease exhaust cleaning so be prepared for the odor!It's right off the highway...open weird parking...be careful!“
“Went in on a Wednesday for a business meeting with 3 partners, we sat at the bar to have a drink, the bartender Emma was a delight. She was friendly with such a warm personality. There was a young man filling the cooler with bottles of beer who joined the conversation, we stayed longer than expected and I will be back with my wife. Excellent customer service good beer and great burgersKid-friendliness: More of a bar“
“Went on a Friday night, and the bar area was pretty packed, which was a good sign. Service was a little slow; it seemed like they were short staffed. We waited a few minutes before a hostess showed up to greet us. Once we sat down, it took another 10 minutes or so for a waiter to come to our table. Again, they did seem understaffed, and the place was pretty busy. Food: Cesar salad 7/10 - enough dressing, croutons Cup of New England Clam Chowder 4/10 This was super salty. Smoked honey chipotle wings 10/10 - You could taste the smokiness, The flavor was delicious, and the wings were cooked to perfection Blackened ribeye w/green beans & twice baked potato 8.5/10 - The flavor on the ribeye was amazing! The green beans, although not seasoned, had a smokey flavor, and the twice baked potato was yummy. Steak tips Risotto 9/10 This was absolutely scrumptious! There are plenty of tender steak tips, creamy risotto with lots of flavor. We will definitely be back!“
“This is a great spot to meet friends but I do miss the couches on the patio where I used to sit and read in the summer. Their drinks menu is always updated. Got the Chocolate Pecan Martini and my friend got the Sweetheart Martini which has White Chocolate liqueur, Rumchata and Grenadine for the pink color. Both were delicious. My friend ordered the Pear Salad but substituted feta for the Gorgonzola and added chicken. I got the risotto special which came with poached salmon, which I exchanged for grilled salmon. The salmon was perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth. I usually bring part of my entree home but the risotto was so good and the right size, so I just finished it off! If you are debating what to order, definitely go for the short rib entree - the perfect comfort food over mashed potatoes! I love the cozy couches inside and the dark lighting which gives a very intimate feel. I would love to sit at the bar or the kitchen bar sometime, but have sat in the side dining room, the main dining room and patio at various times. All great spots, although the main dining area was a little chilly by the door one visit and the hostess kindly moved us to an interior table. The lighting in the newer dining area is brighter if that matters to you.“
“Went out for the first time this past Saturday and the place is in great shape. One of the landscapers, Fitz, was extremely friendly, and gave us some advice on the upcoming holes. The perfect level of difficulty for your average golfer, variation of hole layouts, and overall high quality course. Had a blast, and will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend!“
“Came into town from Florida visiting family and was recommended I try Sisters for breakfast. The ladies that were working were very sweet and patient. My food had so much flavor that I had to go back a second time. Both time my plate was filled to the edge. I definitely recommend and be prepared to eat.“
“Went here last night for dinner. Was very good! Sat in the forge room, which has a great historic atmosphere. We started with the crab and lobster cake. Very good. Good consistency. Also fried calamari, good, not at all greasy. Main courses were duck breast with a fantastic sweet potato side (I do not like sweet potatoes but ate this up!). Friend had short rib which looked very good. Dessert was creme brûlée and carrot cake, both good. Whiskey list is fantastic! Wine list as well. Our waiter Matt was exceptional! Great personality. Great direction when asked for his recommendations.“
“Over the past year living in Glastonbury, the Spicy Green Bean has truly become my favorite restaurant. Every single thing about this place is amazing, the atmosphere, the people, the food. Honestly, I can say that I have never had a meal that hasn’t exceeded my expectations. The owner and her staff are also extraordinary. Totally recommend!“
“Amazing food, relishes out of this world. Got a jar to go. Very friendly bartender and staff. Had steak egg rolls and burnt ends to start, both amazing. Chicken sandwich and burger for dinner - incredibly well cooked and delicious. All their food is made to order by hand and you can tell. We will definitely be back.“
“The atmosphere is really relaxed and upbeat, which is really nice. The staff is kind and helpful in getting your order. They have a little lounge area with art and available seating which is an additional perk. Outside seating is available as well. Inside they have certain things available to buy in a lil cabinet. Very nice, clean, welcoming place.Food-wise, the hash brown is really good and has great flavor. The Western omelette sandwich was great and the caramelized onions added an extra dose of flavor. I would definitely come back to try more food offerings and enjoy the atmosphere“
“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!“
