Restaurants in West Hartford

“Every bite we had was rich, delicious and flavorful. The Châteaubriand was perfectly prepared… And I found myself dreaming of the potatoes.”

“The beer is delicious and the food is worth a trip by itself. We had a large group and got a bunch of different pizzas. They were all home runs. Same goes for the wings. Been dreaming of the pizza since I left!”

“food was delicious waitress seemed a bit out of it.”

“Zaytoon Lebanese Restaurant in West Hartford with Ty. My first experience with Turkish coffee and it was superb. It's strong just like New Orleans coffee and Right up my alley. Our server was attentive, courteous, and efficient. He had a smile and a pleasant personality and was very helpful with the ordering. The food was hot and delicious. The lamb was a gift from the Greek gods. It was tender and seasoned and most flavorful with no gamey aftertaste. Everything you would want from a Mediterranean/Lebanese restaurant.”

“The food was absolutely delicious!! The lomo saltado was perfectly cooked with just the right balance of spices. The portions were generous, and each dish tasted authentic. Calm atmosphere and friendly staff. Whether you’re familiar with Peruvian cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place is a must. Highly recommend!”

“I really enjoyed my visit to Union Kitchen. The place was empty when I went so service overall was prompt and efficient. Kyle, my server, was exceptional and provided top notch service throughout my visit. I started with spicy chicken wings with the trufallo sauce. think these wings were smoked. I like my wings grilled. They were good just not excellent. The house burger was very good but it wasn't big enough to justify price. The brioche bun was sweet and soft. The caramelized onions were delicious. The shoestring fries were great. How do you go wrong with shoestring fries? I had a drink from the bar but I forgot what it was. A lot of crushed ice and not a lot of alcohol. I was disappointed in this. Overall it was a fine early afternoon dining experience before my show”

“Love the Tres Leches cake so moist and with the right amount of sweetness. Ever since my cousin got me a box a month ago I’ve been back every week! But I did a carry out order and never received my Crumbs :/ any help? ”

“We are regular frequenters of this spot. Love the tapas style options here - quite tasty and very shareable with decent-sized portions for the pricing options. Menu provides good variety overall. Interior ambience is well done with more of a dimly-lit feel. Good value can be found either through Amex card deals every so often or via the InKind app.”

“Best Chinese food in CT! Highly recommended if you’re looking for authentic Chinese food. This is not your typical American-Chinese restaurant, but it’s good as it’s meant to be cooked in China. Yum!”

“Good and customer service is very very good”

“We had our wedding at The Pond House Café and it was absolutely beautiful. The ceremony and reception were everything we hoped for. Our guests loved the food, the décor, the music, and the warm, welcoming vibe. The staff went above and beyond—Charlene, Diana, and Alissa took care of us with so much care and professionalism. Everything ran smoothly and felt special. We’re so thankful for the whole team. This will definitely be our go-to spot for future celebrations! 1000000/10 experience!!”

“I would walk 500 miles... Well maybe not walk 500 miles. But I will drive 350 miles round trip. Just to have dinner at one of my favorite Restaurants in my old neighborhood. Congrats to Kenny and his culinary and service team. Dinner for my party of 4 was delicious. The 3 specials Short Rib Ravioli, Chicken & Sausage Paella, and the Baby Rack of Lamb. The 4th dinner was our longtime favorite Gnocchi Sorentino. Walked out bellies full and pallets completely satisfied. Oh yeah, don't forget the Fried Burrata. Anytime I'm in Brookfield I will visit Portobellos. Love this place.”

“So much better than the run down location in Orange, CT. Food and service were great too! So glad I stopped in for lunch instead of allowing the previous experience to keep me away.”

“We loved this place! Authentic Chinese food - Stephanie. The Chengdu dumplings and cold rabbit appetizers were fantastic! my son had the crisp pork belly, and I had the sliced smoked duck. Soooooo delicious! Can't wait to bring the hubs here.”

The staff member was also super friendly. Great neighborhood too. They were carrying a limited edition run of a anaerobic process light roast from Rwanda, so I bought a bag out of curiosity. This is currently the best coffee I have ever brewed. It tastes sweet and like apples! I am really glad that they were carrying this today!”

“Impressed with the pizza last night which had the freshest toppings and pizza sauce. Crust perfectly cooked.”

“The owner and their entire staff are amazing. What is even more special is the taste and crunch from the fresh pizza.”

“The shops and bakery cases are beautiful. The desserts are stunning and always taste amazing. I ordered a pre-designed cake and macarons for my son's birthday everyone loved the cake and said the macarons were the best they've ever had. It's also a great place to stop in for a treat”

“Ok y'all let me tell yall about the Soft Moist cakes. Every last one is delicious The Strawberry Celebration cake was tasty. I'm a big critic when it comes to Red Velvet because it's my favorite cake, this one was amazing from the soft cake to the cream cheese frosting that was light and melted in my mouth 🤤 with each bite. NOW the Chocolate Caramel Delux. This the one that will make all your sadness go away, that time of the month seem like it's nothing and will cure you chocolate craving for what ever reason.. order y'all a cake for yourselves Sienna Cakery”

“This review is for the Danbury Location. I have been going there 5-6 days a week for past 5 +/- months. I had a routine. Order on the App. Coffee protein drink and either a wrap or salad. Always greeted with a smile and thank you when I walked in. The price was good for Always having consistant quality with the drink and food. Made the way I wanted it. Fresh, never wilted lettuce and ingredients. I knew what I was getting and always the same. I stopped going to other places around area because I was sick and tired of my 1/2hr lunch break eating garbage, never made the way I ordered it, or getting the wrong order in bag. Unfortunately, my job is over in the area and I don’t live anywhere near there. So I just wanted to say Thank You, we had a good run……”

“my boys & I went to SONG this past Saturday. We ate everything we ordered. The food was super tasty. The depth of flavors was absolutely delicious! We tried the pancake roll which had beef & vegetables inside. OH MY GOODNESS! I could literally eat that every day for the rest of my life! I'm totally serious. I'm not sure why they have only a 4.0, which is a good score. Honestly? SONG is deserving of at least a 4.6 but I'm giving them a 4.8. our waiter was a sweetie, polite & attentive. it wasn't crowded, actually none of the restaurants were super crowded. we were there around 630pm. so maybe it was a bit early. The atmosphere was welcoming & comfortable. This was my 2nd time there & I'll definitely be going back. 4.8! ❤️”

“food is amazing 👏 highly recommended. friendly staff. great atmosphere.”

“Take-out food recommendation! Hot Basil Thai Food, 565 New Park Ave, West Hartford. Ordered three dishes at 2:15pm today for pick-up. Not only was the food OUTSTANDING, but the price SHOCKED me at how low it was. I guess the lunch menu prices is reduced. I will be doing this again, frequently. I've eaten there for dinner several times per year for years and never regretted it, but this blew me away, both the quality and price. Let's be sure to keep them in business with take-out orders!”

“I had the opportunity to try a shake today and is was excellent. Customer Service great love the decor.”

“Keep in mind, this is French Vietnamese fusion. If you’re from the West Coast, the closest to this food is The Slanted Door in the San Francisco and Bay Area where it is 3x the price.

Never a bad meal. The Shaking Beef, Crepes, Imperial Rolls… can’t get enough. Been coming here since the late 80’s. Love the family too.”

“The business Is driven by take out. The dining room is comfortable enough, but not often enjoyed. I got take out and my order was ready before the time they quoted. Efficient and and tasty.”

“What a gem! First time here. I got the Coldbuster juice which is a perfect balance of flavors, delicious, and healthy. My child ordered a smoothie which is also really good. Will be back!”

“Warm, friendly, family business.”

“Just checked out the new South Windsor location and the the experience did not disappoint. Great service, food was delicious and portions were HUGE. We had a specialty pizza, chicken piccata, salad, and house made fried mozzarella. All great. Only problem is we can’t move right now.”

“Best pizza ever! And the nachos are the best! I would recommend them to anybody who's visiting this pizzeria for the first time saludos a todos que estan trabajando ahi hicieron un buen trabajo!”

“Third time getting salad from here. YUM everytime. The staff is friendly and helpful very insightful and patient. It’s a warm and welcoming family atmosphere. Restrooms were cleaned and well maintained. Overall great ppl and great experience. Grant and Bella always makes me feel welcome and always gets my order right. Will recommend to family and friends”

“I am so happy to hear that you guys have reopened. I haven't been to Park Lane in quite a few years, I live in New York City now but I did live in West Hartford at one time and I owned a house in Bethel Connecticut and I used to drive up to West Hartford and always looked forward to one of your pies. See you guys soon!”

“A good hang out spot!!! I highly recommend this place❤️❤️❤️”

“It wasn't busy until I was in line trying to decide what I wanted. I went with the whoopie donut. It was delicious! There was no confusion with My coffee request, which was awesome.I was there around 2 pm. There was a great crew of friendly workers.

“This West Hartford store has become a favorite of ours. We were introduced to the company via the UCONN store, and we are grateful that this one is so much closer.”

“I fly to West Hartford every weekend just to eat at Kitchen Plate. I live in North Carolina, and yet somehow this has become the most logical decision of my life—because once you’ve eaten here, nothing else compares.

Kitchen Plate isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience. From the moment the food hits the table, you can tell everything is made with care, intention, and an unreal level of skill. The flavors are bold but balanced, comforting but exciting, and consistently unforgettable. No matter what I order, it somehow ends up being the best thing I’ve eaten all week—every week.

What truly sets this place apart, though, is the chef. He is, without exaggeration, my favorite chef ever. Watching someone put this much passion and pride into their craft is rare, and you can taste it in every single bite. The food feels personal, like it was made specifically for you. There’s creativity, heart, and serious talent behind every dish, and it shows.

I’ve eaten at plenty of great spots, but Kitchen Plate is the only place that has made me plan flights around a meal. That’s not a joke or an exaggeration—it’s just that good. If you live nearby, don’t take it for granted. And if you don’t? Trust me, it’s worth the trip.”

“The food was awesome 🤩 1 thing I want to say first is that I’m so happy that they have a Jamaican/ West Indian Restaurant here in West Hartford I no longer have to drive to Hartford to buy Jamaican food. I ordered a large oxtail with rice & peas and veggies. The meat was tender and juicy with lots of gravy on top and some on the rice, the rice was moist not hard at all and the veggies were steamed not soggy with a bit light crunch on them. The Restaurant is family oriented you can definitely eat in and have lunch or dinner with your family and friends and enjoy a great meal. I will definitely be back and also recommend this place to everyone at work.”

“THIS FOOD WAS 🔥🔥🔥my fiancé and I took a 1 hour and 45 min drive from RI . We will definitely be coming again unless you open up in RI pleaseeeeee lol! We ordered food for two days and every single thing we got was amazing !!!! The cashier was very nice and personable . Can you put some corn bread on that menu ? I know that will be 🔥🔥 . Best of luck with your restaurant . It is a gem for sure . Will be back soon.”

“When I first pulled into the Chick-fil-A parking lot, I was able to find a spot close to the entrance, which was a huge plus and very convenient.

After coming in and finally deciding what I wanted, Treanna and Matthew provided excellent service. Everything was spot on when I received my order while dining in. Isabella made my experience even better. She really put the cherry on top! 😊 She respectfully checked in from time to time, which definitely enhanced my dining experience. A great closer to an already great visit.

I give the food and service 5 stars. As for the atmosphere, I’d give it 4 stars. The floor could use a little more attention. It was slippery even though it was dry, which could be hazardous, especially for elderly guests. Other than that (a very minor issue), this Chick-fil-A is highly recommended. It’s new, clean, and the cooks in the back clearly know what they’re doing.

A true blessing! Thank you for the great experience.”

“I had an outstanding experience at Teriyaki Madness in West Hartford thanks to the amazing night staff on 5/29/25! Kirsten who goes by Kris, took my order, was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. She made great recommendations and ensured I felt comfortable with my choices because my first option was sold out for the day! Brendon was equally impressive! His charm and respectfulness shone through as he assisted Kirsten by handing out the orders and keeping the dining area clean. I arrived just before closing, but both Kirsten and Brendon maintained their enthusiasm and were eager to serve me. Their teamwork made the experience even more enjoyable, and I truly appreciated their dedication to excellent customer service. I couldn’t have asked for a better dinner pit stop after a long day of work! Thank you, Kirsten and Brendon, for making my first visit memorable!”

“While there was an issue with my catering order being ready when requested, it was quickly resolved by the team working on Black Friday. The sandwiches were all very good and enjoyed by the group I ordered for. My only suggestion is offer more vegetarian options.”
