“I have dined here multiple times. It is always an elevated experience. Cora Cora is a good introduction to Peruvian food. Some of the dishes have adjusted flavor profiles and others are firmly rooted in their origin. A good place for newcomers to enjoy their first dive into Peruvian cooking.”
“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!”
“Melissa took excellent care of my husband and I for our first visit to Bricco! We celebrated our 1 year anniversary and it was perfect! The peppered tuna was fantastic! We had fried calamari, bacon wrapped dates, salad , lemon cake desert and espressos! The Aperol spritz was also delicious! Ambiance was relaxing but beautiful! 10/10 we traveled from new haven to visit! Was definitely worth the 45 minute ride! Thanks Bricco!”

“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.”
“Well, we took long enough to give it a shot since they've been open 8 months. This place is a gem on so many levels. Generous and delicious portions, great ambiance and best of all - reasonably priced.”

“One of my favorite restaurants in West Hartford! Wait staff is always extremely friendly and the food is outstanding! Salatim Beginnings is a great way to start (beets are my fav) and the organic Salmon skewer is amazing!”

“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”

“5/5 on taste and looks this was really good!!! Things that I think can improve would be adding drinks like a milk choice. I think having food products you need drinks. And also the forks are really cheap and when the cakes are cold the fork given bends. I think this can be changed and doesn't change that the taste is amazing”

“I'm going to keep this short. What I'm about to say is a bold statement but I will stand by it until something better comes along (I doubt it will). My wife and I travel the US for work and have been to countless pizza joints in dozens of different states across the US and Dino's....well Dino's is the best pizza in the country. This place is so good that we have driven hours out of the way 3 times already just to eat the deliciously perfect pepperoni pizza that this fine establishment makes. Please support this place with your business because they deserve it!”
“Our first time dining at Mecha, but definitely not our last! Dylan was extremely kind and helpful when I called to inquire about seating, making a reservation (they don't - it's a waitlist system)... our server Lauren was awesome! She was patient (we had a million questions) and made wonderful suggestions. Super helpful considering we were first timers... and the food! Everything we ordered was delicious! The mushroom dumplings, general tso's shrimp, the ramen were all fabulous, fresh and full of flavor. I had the ground chicken seasonal special and am absolutely going back before the season changes to have it again. I highly recommend this place.”

“The apps were Good the chicken with mashed potatoes was very Flavorful. The cod was very bland The cheesecake was flavorful and well-presented.was one of their pop-up dinners was able to be seated in time but took a While to get water Over a good experience”
“One of the best food places in west Hartford. Truly impressed with the chef’s talent. The flatbread was phenomenal- we got the wild mushroom which is drizzled in truffle dressing. An absolute must try, one of the best flatbreads I’ve had. The couscous is a staple and delicious but the prize went to the duck confit and wild mushroom ravioli. So much flavor, and the ingredients compliment each other very well in this dish. The only somewhat down side is that it is a smaller space, so you may require a reservation”

“Great wait staff! Pros- Service was excellent! Many of food items were delicious- puff pastry, pate, panzanella salad, halibut, scallops, crème brûlée, chocolate mousse. Cons- tried to seat us at back table next to restrooms (common experience for older women); we asked for window seating and they accommodated. “Hamachi Crudo-Thai basil, peanut, strawberry”was over-sauced, sauce was heavy, had many jalapeños!; all disguised delicate flavor of fish.”

“Four friends enjoyed a great dining experience at Portobello West Hartford. The manager and staff were very welcoming, and we found the restaurant comfortable and quiet enough for conversation. Drinks, salads and entrees were all good. Generous portions. Recommend the Veal Portobello, clams, lasagna -- delicious and attractively presented.”
“My wife and I had brunch here recently. The interior and atmosphere was amazing complete with cool photos, a bull's head decoration, and great music! The chorizo and ham with cheese was great, and I loved the perfect olive oil pancakes, and the desserts were soooo good, my wife loved the lava cake and I enjoyed the burnt cheesecake! I would definitely rate this place 10/10! If you can't make it to Barcelona, at least try this awesome authentic Spanish dining and bar experience!”

“It was paella day!!!!! 1/2 off paella 3/28/24! It was our first time here and we weren't disappointed! I thought for sure the place would be packed but it was nice and cozy. They have the prix fix menu for $29 and I think it's a good deal. They change their menu items monthly it seasonally we were told. We proceeded to get that plus two paellas So you get one tapa for the table: choice of pan con tomate or pimientos de padrón (shishito peppers) for the 1sr course. We selected the pan con tomate. The bread was nice and crispy. Tomato rub was perfect. 2nd course selec 2 per person (there were only two of us) we ordered: -Croquetas de setas (creamy mushroom croquettes) this was 3/5 for me. -patatas bravas (crispy potato) 5/5 I want more -albóndigas (beef and pork meatballs) - 1/5 it was pretty sour for me. The texture was nice but I didn't love it. -a steak dish with green sauce (forgot what it's called) but it was 100000 We also ordered two paellas Paella de mariscos 5/5 Fideuá negra - I didn't read this carefully but it's noodles not rice. Pretty freaky bec it' looks like it's moving but it was pretty good when I had it for left overs. 4/5 For dessert , you can select 2 from prix fix . We had one of each . Churro and olive lemon cake. We got a free churro from paella day but it was not the best. The olive oil lemon cake was pretty good. The service was superb I must say. Everyone was helpful and attentive. The sangrias were ok. We got one with rum and one with tequila. Probably why lol. Should have gotten a classic. Overall I can't wait to go back!!!!!”
“This small hole in the wall sushi place puts all the other sushi restaurants to shame. Large fresh cuts of meat on perfectly seasoned sticky rice. Be sure to ask for extra soy sauce, they have a special recipe that you HAVE to try.”
“Such a great place to eat! I’ve gone there countless times, and have also gotten takeout/door dash. Their white and green curry is the best I’ve ever had, and other friends stand by this as well. Their pad Thai lunch specials make appetizers and drinks super affordable, so be sure to take advantage when you can. I love love love Prai.”

“Ever since moving here from Texas we’ve been looking for good Mexican food. It is rare to find a place with authentic “sazón” but this place makes the cut. Being of Hispanic descent, we tend to be pretty picky about Mexican food but it was excellent. Their bar is well stocked too and the drinks were on the money. The atmosphere is a bit crowded but I would expect that from a place that’s as good as this. The owner stopped in to say hello, chatted a bit and really made us feel welcome. We’ll definitely be back and likely make this one of our regular spots.”

“Born and raised in Hartford. And it took me this long to come to sally and bob’s and I have to say it was worth it some of the best corn beef hash we’ve had the experience was excellent and of course to see Santa Claus even better can’t wait to come again”
“I wish Bae was with me. Had to get a latte on the way to meet friends in New Hampshire. Saw the sign on the free way. Glad I stopped by. Every other place was closed except Starbucks and dunking and I can't do that to myself. I'd rather drive hours ... this place was sorta on the way. So far this drink is creamy with enough flavor to taste the beans. Good temperature . Very frothy for a latte. It's yum good.”
“100% recommend if you have not eaten this type of food before please step out of your comfort zone everything was delicious I came here today for my birthday dinner before a concert with my two friends and was not disappointed! I will definitely be back”
“Great service, atmosphere, and most importantly - amazing food! Highly recommend the scallion pancake roll with twice cooked pork, it was so good and our favorite dish. Dan Dan noodles also great. I'll be back to try the bao, the soup dumplings were good but not my favorite.”

“We came down from Vermont for my highschool reunion and met up with some classmates at ZSP. The pies came out quick and they were amazing! This is not Dominoes, there are no boring pizza's here. They're made with local ultra fresh produce and meats. Do not miss out on the dipping sauces. Honey Siracha, that's definitely the one you want. Our server was amazing. She was super friendly and incredibly patient. The owner, after his long day, could have kicked us out when it was time to close, but he said we could hangout on the patio instead. We can't wait to come back!”

I would say overall experience was good for the first time. Will have to come here again in the future and try something else.”

Everyone that works here is so kind we love coming here as a fav neighborhood spot on the weekends. Their coffee, lattes, etc are unmatched the quality is incredible.

“Wow! I've been to this location dozens of times. It's usually stressful, slow, dirty, etc. but the food is typically good. Today though, on Friday, September 29 at lunchtime, was amazing! It felt like a whole new location. It was so clean inside. Customer service was top tier, very friendly and pleasant. My food tasted like how McDonald's used to taste back in the day which was fresh and flavorful. Whatever team was working today really put their whole McDussy into their shift. They deserve recognition!”

“We were travelling back home (a couple of hours) and drove about an hour out of our way to pass by and pick up the Birkin Bag, we drove another 2 hours home and enjoyed the meal very much. I would suggest anyone passing by, even if it's out of your way to make the stop, very nice place and great food! Wish you guys were closer to Jersey, maybe on our next trip eastwards.”

“Located inside the historic Wright Building, is this great spot for a variety of hot dogs, sandwiches and sides. Grab a bite then brow through the shops located within.”
“First time here. What a fantastic old school diner. Great vibe. Like stepping back in time. The waitress was friendly and the food was delicious! Definitely will be back.”
“Very cool spot in West Hartford with a fun concept. It's got a brewery type vibe with a nice patio area outdoors with various types of well thought out seating areas. A rotating selection of food trucks are parked adjacent to this area and serve food for lunch, dinner and into the evening. Inside is additional seating and a bar area. Occasionally bands will play on one end of the room. I love that they promote original music here. The food will largely depend on what food trucks are there. Seems like two different ones during the week and three on weekends. They seem to be well curated for quality and variety though. In addition to this they have a small burger and fries type menu inside. The tap list is very solid here featuring a nice variety with many local offerings. The regular staff here who run the bar and deal with general operations are great. Very helpful and friendly all around. Check their social media for food truck and band listings and go check this place out!”
“Found this place while at lunch next door with a friend. We joked about having dessert afterwards. After trying some of the confections that day I now stop by any time I am in the area. Sometimes making a special trip into West Hartford for a treat.”
“Each time we’ve ordered from this little gem we’ve been so satisfied with the great food and really quick service! I wish this amazing taqueria was right next door though! My husband is headed over right now for a large order so we can enjoy the leftovers!”
“Richard is the best employee I have ever interacted with at Pokeworks. I first met him at the Pokeworks in Glastonbury. After they closed, I was thrilled to see him working at the West Hartford location. Richard is always extremely polite, accommodating, and has the BEST attitude all the time. Thank you Richard!”

“The food was very good and the water was attentive, although he did walk away quite quickly after talking to us which left us little room for questions or extra requests.”
“Some places serve you burritos, and some serve you BURRITOS. This thing was the size of an artillery shell and was so unbelievably flavorful and fresh. Plus, chips?! That’s just kind. They were super friendly and awesome. Can’t wait to go back.”
“My pastor and I went to this place it was amazing we wish we could eat the cups ?? because we were too far to turn back to go get another amazing phenomenal it was delicious ?”
“Maybe it was just the night we visited, but the tacos are different than last year. The vampiro taco last year was a melty, cheesy delicious taco, one of the best I ever had, this year it’s just your standard street taco, not bad just not memorable. No chips, guac, or nachos anymore. I also miss the cocktails on tap. The vibes are still vibing though!”
“Joeys to go is my number 1 go to spot for take out in west Hartford. Staff is always friendly and service outstanding. Always get the order correctly and cooked perfectly the way I like as well. Pizza is nicely thin & crisp and the Alfredo pasta is always delicious as well. my son who is a extremely picky eater will only eat take from a very very select few places loves their chicken tenders & fries. I also enjoy the Sweet Asian wings are amazing and so is the cheese steak grinder. Would recommend to anyone who wants to try out a different spot in town for a nice to go dinner or even quick slice to go during lunch break.”
“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 cannot say enough good things about this food truck and the wonderful people that run it! Owners are sweet, kind and caring. I had the lobster roll and clam strip roll. My boyfriend had the spicy fries and fried pickles (he’s vegan). The lobster roll was out of this world! So delicious, warm and buttery! I was amazed at how much lobster meat they included! Clam strip roll was pretty delicious and the sides my boyfriend ordered were so yummy! Cannot wait to try the lobster grilled cheese next time. Thank you Lobster Tales for a wonderful experience! Do yourself a favor and try them out! You won’t regret it!UPDATE: I tried the Lobster Grilled Cheese and wow! Wow, wow, wow! What a blessing for my taste buds! They are geniuses! Years and plenty of trips later, I stand true to my word! The food is incredible, the staff is kind and it’s an experience you won’t forget!! You’re probably thinking, it’s just a food truck, it’s not a big deal. It IS a big deal! Not only are you blessed with delicious lobster rolls that are overflowing with lobster meat along with delicious sides and yummy soda, you are also met with the kindest owners and staff who treat you like family and like one of their own! I even had a chance to talk to the owner because she decided to take time out of her day to approach me and thank me for the kind words that I had mentioned as I grabbed my food. How often do you get that?? I am and will forever be a Lobster Tales food truck fan and have been telling everyone I know about them! They truly are too good to be true! I’m just so grateful to have experienced their kindness and enjoyed their ridiculously delicious food! They are worth the drive! Please try them out! ❤️ ❤️Btw, I have driven across state lines and have taken long trips JUST to enjoy their food. They are THAT good! You won’t regret it! Dietary restrictions: When we first tried them out, my boyfriend was vegan and they were super accommodating all while serving the most delicious and fresh food for him! He was beyond pleased! They are amazing!”
“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.

Excellent customer service good beer and great burgersKid-friendliness: More of a bar”
“We had great service for a Friday night dinner. All of our entrees were fantastic which included huge salad and mac-n-cheese portions. My trio of sliders were great, too. I ordered the paloma and got it smoked which was a nice touch. I'm excited to return.”
“Such a great place to eat! I’ve gone there countless times, and have also gotten takeout/door dash. Their white and green curry is the best I’ve ever had, and other friends stand by this as well. Their pad Thai lunch specials make appetizers and drinks super affordable, so be sure to take advantage when you can. I love love love Prai.”

“I'm going to keep this short. What I'm about to say is a bold statement but I will stand by it until something better comes along (I doubt it will). My wife and I travel the US for work and have been to countless pizza joints in dozens of different states across the US and Dino's....well Dino's is the best pizza in the country. This place is so good that we have driven hours out of the way 3 times already just to eat the deliciously perfect pepperoni pizza that this fine establishment makes. Please support this place with your business because they deserve it!”

“The food was good but too expensive for Mexican food.The location, restaurant, and staff are wonderful.Drinks are also not worth the price.Bring all your credit cards you've been warned ⚠️.”

“Dietary restrictions: Able to get fish and chips with fries. Which is a special treat and the portion is huge! All their breaded items are gluten free, so no cross contamination! ( :Parking: Lots of parking in front are several rows and in back and along the side as well. It is super popular, so coming early is probably a good idea. ( :Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair accessible entrance, and once inside. It is all level flooring, which makes moving around inside easy.”
“It was as a peaceful delicious lunch with my friend.Thanks to Arianna our waitress very helpful and respectful.Food and drinks were delicious and a very clean place.”
“The food was great. However, I wish the Halal menu would be a staple for this fine establishment. Not only was the food amazing but the optionality brought to the table really made this restaurant an amazing experience for all whether or not you choose to use the Halal menu. After all, there is no harm in removing the Halal menu options from the menu as it only restricts the customers experiences and will therefore hinder the people that are able to experience and enjoy this lovely food. Moreover, the customer service is absolutely amazing! Not only were we treated with respect but the food was delivered and served at an amazing taste and temperature in a timely fashion. The moral that should be taken from this review is to keep the Halal menu options on the menu and make it a year round experience so that all can enjoy because really, I was taken aback from the sheer quality and service provided within the boundaries of this establishment.”

“Been there to this location many times and it's been decent but I'd say my last visit was great, they made slight changes to their menu, for ex. the clucks and fries are different completely chicken and taste MUCH better. My father said his scorpian burger actually had a kick now too! A sever also went and showed me meal side could be refilled when I thought it needed to be separate. I had sweet potato fries for two days at lunch! Wonderful restaurant ,I just recommend getting there before a rush!(Also the Mac &, cheese is not great)!”
“Food was good. Wait was long. Dining room was so crowded and noisy we ate in the car. Next time I’ll order online and go shopping until they text. $37 for two burgers, two shakes, and fries!!”
“Good quality chicken, fries, etc. The food tasted good and definitely was spicy good. The restaurant/location was small, very small parking lot. Service waa good, staff waa friendly. I would say overall experience was good for the first time. Will have to come here again in the future and try something else.”
“We were told of Blue Plate Kitchen by a friend. My son attends Univ of Hartford and every time I fly east to visit - at least 1 breakfast is here. Food is great and the people are attentive and nice.”
“One of my favorite restaurants in West Hartford! Wait staff is always extremely friendly and the food is outstanding! Salatim Beginnings is a great way to start (beets are my fav) and the organic Salmon skewer is amazing!”
