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.”

Arugula Bistro 953 Farmington Ave, West Hartford Mediterranean • $$
953 Farmington Ave, West Hartford

“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”

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.”

Frida Mexican Cuisine 1150 New Britain Ave, West Hartford Mexican • $$
1150 New Britain Ave, West Hartford

“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.”

Boqueria West Hartford 46 S Main St, West Hartford Spanish • $$$
46 S Main St, West Hartford

“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!!!!!”

Lobster Tales Food Truck 637 New Park Ave, West Hartford Food Trucks • $$
637 New Park Ave, West Hartford

“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!”
