American Restaurants near Bloomfield

“Gina and the staff were so helpful and accommodating with our baby shower, they even got up on a ladder to help hang decorations! Beautiful venue, view and food, great place for a private party“

“It was my first time there, and i must say the service was on point. Wait time wasn't bad at all. The food and drinks were delicious. The strawberry lemonade was delightful ..it had chopped up strawberries to the bottom. Waffles were buttery and fluffy..yummy!“

“Had dinner at Gather 55 last night and it was the most pleasant dining experience and best food I’ve had in months! Crystal’s service was excellent! She is a master at her craft! Not only was the experience worth every penny, the mission and purpose of Gather 55 is wonderful! I wish we had one in TN!“

“I have been coming to this fine dining establishment for many many years. You can't go wrong with any item on the menu. The cocktails are absolutely delicious. Best I've ever had. And the steaks? Oh hell yeah absolutely awesome!!!“

“Best waitstaff I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend.“

“Oh my, New Year's Eve 2024 was just wonderful. Our server, Amy, was on point. The food from chef Miguel and the team was on point. The Duck, oh my, was the best I have had in years. Justin and his team are just the best. Thank you! for a special night.“

“We went for our Anniversary and it was perfect! We dined in the Tavern near the fireplace. The staff was so very attentive to our needs and friendly! The food was outstanding! Every bite was filled with unique flavors. The Salmon was the best Ive had! My salad of greens with white balsamic was perfectly seasoned with spices. The Chef is amazing as well as the pastry chef. The deserts ended our already perfect meal with two happy patrons! For sure to return!“

“Been going here for over a decade, and Harvest remains the best breakfast/brunch/bakery in the area. They have fresh baked items in the bakery case daily that are priced reasonably, and their scones are THE BEST with great flavor and spot-on texture. Dining in, I always enjoy the Farmer's Benedict with a side of fresh baked sourdough toast. I prefer my eggs poached hard, and they gladly accommodate this request. On top of the most amazing food, the friendly staff, great service, and a cozy atmosphere makes every experience dining in a pleasure!“

“Outdoor street parking lines both sides of the road leading up to this quaint restaurant. Online reservations are available and very easy to use.

My husband and I opted to come out at 4pm on a Saturday to have some apps and share an entree . While there is plenty of seating, it’s a little on the smaller but intimate side. I can see kids coming in but the vibe and environment says date night or friends gathering would be more appropriate.

The staff was friendly, welcoming and attentive. I was very impressed that our server recognized we were sharing an entree without us saying anything. We ordered a burger that came cut in half and served on two plates which made it simple for my husband and I to tuck right in. I do wish they offered a burger option that had lettuce and tomato, but their house burger is tasty as is.

I would also love to see a few more non meat options, but over all the smaller menu is solid and pricing is mostly sensible though slightly on the higher side. 2 apps, 1 entree, 1 glass of wine and a cocktail came to $80.

I would go back here for date night“

“First time here. Service was excellent but food was mediocre. Burger was ok. Fries were not fresh. You could tell they were frozen. Pickles were really good.“

“We had an incredible dining experience while celebrating our anniversary tonight. It was our first time visiting and certainly won’t be the last. We had a table outside and our server, Eric, mentioned it was one of the best in the house. We couldn’t agree more as it was a beautiful setting and view. Eric was wonderful - so attentive. Our meals were delicious, we had the lobster pasta and stuffed shrimp, then ended our night with a champagne toast and dessert on the house, an amazing touch of thoughtfulness and hospitality. Exceptional service. Thank you for making our special occasion even more special! We will 100% be back!“

“A fantastic staff, great food and drinks. Tommy is a caring owner and Christine is the best manager there is. Always has great entertainment and Julie is the perfect bartender. When we go there we always feel like family.“

“First time there today and it was amazing, I had the beef short rib grilled cheese with sweet potato fries, my hubby had the Philly Cheesesteak and the French onion soup!! Our server explained a lot to us about the food and told us her favorite dishes!!! We will definitely be back !!“

“Brian is a amazing waiter. I can’t say enough about him. Makes our meal even better. Thank you for your wonderful service!!??“

“Top self food, love it! Staff is friendly and accommodating. It’s a must visit 👍🏻“

“GREAT FOOD, FAST SERVICE!“

“Short Version! Best smoked BBQ. Cannot recommend enough. Chef and staff are excellent. Wethersfield has a gem — the ‘secret’ needs to get out! Long Version! Earlier this week, to celebrate our anniversary, my wife and I went to a smoked barbecue restaurant, Smoked on Main, in Wethersfield. It was her surprise to me. I did not know where we were headed. Both of us love BBQ, my wife grew up in the Kansas — St Louis area; I had spent quite a bit of time in Dallas, our daughter lives in Carolina. There you have it: Kansas City, Texas, and Carolina BBQ! After we arrived and parked, we decided to walk a bit as its location is in an incredibly beautiful quintessential New England restored area (we live in New Haven). There are numerous beautiful old homes (dating from the 17th century), a colonial cemetery started in 1634, the same year as Wethersfield was founded. When I read over the menu, by its choices, its depth and descriptions, including several additional smaller a la carte menus (including the one for five different varieties of smoked tacos) I knew this was some place special. But I reserved my opinion until the food arrived. My wife had the smoked St Louis ribs; I had smoked spicy pork and smoked steak tacos along with the corn salad. Some, if not all, was the best I’ve ever eaten. After I saw the food presentations, tried them, coupled with the sophistication of the menu, I believed the chef had to have been professionally trained. His name is Bronislaw (Bernie) Gorski, and came out to say hello. He is a classically trained chef, started at Ernie’s in San Francisco having been a chef in NYC, Paris, and Brazil, to name just a few. We talked shop for some time. Delightful and incredibly knowledgeable. I say shop because while not in his league, when I was much younger, I was trained as a chef and sommelier in a French restaurant, and worked in the industry for quite some time, including as a consultant. That background expertise is what led me to expect and recognize the quality and presentation of the menu. I cannot recommend Smoked on Main enough. It has not been open long and also does catering. I want to give a ‘shout out’ to Wethersfield. If you are not yet aware of the rich culinary gem you have in your wonderful city — please give them a try! They do a brisk take-out business as well. Thanks to Bernie and to Jennifer who serves as a mainstay there in the evenings (and met us outside as we we were coming in — so hospitable). All the best. We had a delightful time.“

“Great place for an event - service was top notch from beginning to end. Our guests had a wonderful time and we could not be happier with how the day unfolded. Thank you for a beautiful meal, amazing staff, and the excellent coordination offered by Courtney!“

“food was good, service was good“

“Wings were the BEST we ever had! Caesar salad w/chicken was outstanding! Stopped by randomly for lunch. So happy we did.“

“We played a great round at Wintonbury Hills, then headed here for pizza and beers. 24 guys and all loved the pizza and wings we had, Perfect spot will be back, Sammy and the staff treated us great,“

“Treated my sister to an excellent dinner on Easter weekend. Loved the with artic char with chef’s specialty , ginger rice and a delicious pablano sauce!“

“I was a little taken back at first but the setup just adds to the atmosphere of this place. The people were fast, attentive and the meatball calzone was soooo good. Huge calzone! I ate half for lunch and the other half for dinner. It tastes like it was made fresh as well as the pizza sauce. Delicious!“

“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.“

“Jordan, the bartender is great!“

“Came in around 6p on a Sunday so it wasn’t busy. The inside is what you’d expect for similar restaurants; darker ambiance , booths and tables, and outdoor seating as well. We were sat and addressed quickly, placing an order for drinks and an app. We then chose two entrees to share. For an old fashioned, a glass of Prosecco, an egg roll appetizer, a Cobb salad, and a steak sandwich with fries came to about $90 (with tip).

Our waitress was attentive without being invasive; she was quick and friendly .

My only complaint is the sticky table.

We would definitely return

Kid-friendliness: At the right time of day this could be a decent spot for a family to enjoy a meal“

“This is their best location. Right by the Farmington river. Drinks are avg. food is good. The view is what brings me back. Service is good for the most part. Their apps are probably above avg to similar venues.“

“sunday brunch was nice. food was good service was efficient“

“Celebrated our daughter’s birthday on Friday and everything was AMAZING! Our server, Jaden, was fabulous and our food was incredible!! Definitely a great experience!“

“Five stars all around. Great, friendly staff. Tasty dishes with an artistic atmosphere!“

“We booked The Tavern for our October 2021 wedding right before the pandemic hit. Throughout the entire planning process and hundreds of questions, Jasmine was always readily available via email or text up until wedding day (even when we became date twins). Everything came out beautiful, the set up for dinner and our ceremony was perfect! The grounds were perfect for our pictures. Everyone loved the appetizers during cocktail hour and our cake was delicious. We had a few mishaps during our dinner, but we didn’t let that fog the happiest day of our lives. Jasmine also quickly took action and made things right. They will likely be my go-to for other events because ours was greatly executed with the help of my in-laws, Lynne (sorry if I spelled it wrong), and Jasmine. My favorite thing about having them as our venue was that we didn’t have to clean up anything or set up anything. Lynne made sure things were arranged accordingly and brought my vision to life. Even when we had to create a back up plan because of weather Jasmine and Lynne helped to calm my nerves about the last minute changes.“

“Arrived for a very late lunch and happy to find them open. Hamburger cooked as ordered, very good as were mashed potatoes. Friend enjoyed her chicken rice soup and chicken sandwich. Attentive and accommodating service. Large multi level dining room with separate entrance for private space“

“The food was here was amazing! Gluten free calamari to start and burrata which was so flavorful. I had the sea bass for entree which was probably the best sea bass dish I have ever had and my partner had the short ribs which he loved too! Service was good and we had a good conversation with our waitress. Overall a very pleasant evening and i highly recommend eating here.“

“First time in CT, Visiting a friend. This place was a great experience. I had the salmon avocado Benedict and mango mimosa. Both were delicious! My friend and I were catching up so the service was spot on - perfectly timed without much interruption. Exactly what we wanted. Highly recommended!“

Kid-friendliness: Very homey cozy place lots of booth seating.“

“Actually the whole list, makes it a wonderful place to dine! ❤️❤️❤️“

“The BBQ beyond was absolutely our favorite burger to get as a vegetarian family. Even myself with food allergies I didn’t have to edit a single thing on this burger like I do for every other one that exists. Truly sad that it no longer shows on their online menus or Uber eats. I guess back to BurgerKing and Wayback burgers for us, unfortunately.“

“My husband Jeff and I(Terry) had the best Valentine's Dayy!! Your wings, your service, Food is amazing. Our standards are very high and appreciate all you do for our community!!! Happy Valentine's Day From the Vagell's!! ❤️“

“We love max burger. We've been going here for years but on this trip, we took our 9 month old. We brought peaches for him since he's not eating off the menu yet. And he proceeded to make a huge mess. Our waitress, Molly, was so sweet and said it was totally fine. They're a family restaurant. All of the staff were super sweet to our baby, and it was a really great experience.“

“I think that the concept and menu are good. The drawback from my point of view is that it smells a lot like food inside the establishment. They should solve that if it is not too much to ask and perhaps explain a little more specifically how to order and pay for the food in the establishment. restaurant, I think the young women do a good job.“

“Best latkes that I’ve ever had!“

“first time there and had the walking tacos! unfortunately the doritos were sold out but the tostitos were great! definitely will be coming for lunch more often. great staff as well!“

“Great Atmosphere, wine selection! Fantastic food !!“

“It was a culinary delight. I had the crispy duck leg. It was so tender on the inside. It was plated on passion fruit juice and seeds, and garnished with crispy rind of orange. It was such a joy to eat.“

“Great pizza ! And quesadillas“

“Nice place to get a quick bite while staying at the airport. The rating is specifically because of the servers. The place was busy with eat in and take our orders. The two bartenders/servers were so pleasant and attentive even though they were crazy busy.“

“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.“

“My husband and I with our son came tonight for dinner. We enjoy trying new places frequently and we're so glad we stopped here. The food was delicious and did not taste like chain restaurant food. Our server was attentive and kind. Will definitely make the hour trip to come back and try more of the gigantic menu!“

“Loved the baked stuffed shrimp!!! Absolutely delicious dinner!!“
