“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!“

Carlos was a pleasure to work with, and I appreciated his helpful suggestions and attention to detail. The food was delicious and beautifully displayed. Along with the nice, attentive staff (Jess and Aidan), everything made the shower a wonderful celebration that was enjoyed by all who attended.
Thank you, Carlos! We will be back!“

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!“

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

“Red Rock Tavern is the hidden gem of Hartford—warm energy, great people, and a vibe that always hits. If you’re stepping out on a Saturday, the 90s Karaoke Sip & Paint is the move. Nostalgia, creativity, and good music in one room… it’s the perfect way to elevate your weekend.“

“Since a lot of these reviews appear to be old, clarifying 2 things: there are two locations (norfolk & hartford) run by Good Works Entertainment. The Hartford location used to have a bistro but does not any longer - they have chips and candy. The highly regarded Bears smoke house is across the street as is the convention center and hotel (that ay have a special rate if you ask). hartford location has nearby street and paid parking unaffiliated with the venue. Both feature a range of arttists so check one or both out with friends and family.“

“13 of us went there to celebrate my mom's 85th and we're lucky and got the upstairs. We had Samantha as our server who went way above what was expected. We had the very reasonable priced buffett..the food was good, the chef was on hand and very friendly. Drinks very reasonably priced. This was our 3rd family celebration there and an plan to use them for more.“

“My first visit to Fork & Fire was yesterday, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. From the moment I walked through the doors until the moment I left, the entire experience was exceptional. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely made us feel valued throughout the evening. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance between upscale and comfortable, creating an environment where you can truly relax and enjoy your meal. What stood out most wasn't just the great food—it was the complete experience. Every detail, from the service to the ambiance, reflected a commitment to excellence. If you're looking for a restaurant that delivers outstanding hospitality and an unforgettable dining experience, I highly recommend Fork & Fire. I'll definitely be coming back.“

“Ever since I discovered Benny’s , I don’t go anywhere else for breakfast! The atmosphere is cute and cozy! The staff is friendly and the owner is always around making sure everything is done accordingly! Most importantly, the food is delicious!“

“I really cannot find the right words to describe the experience you will have when you dine at this gem of a place. It is our "go to" when we want a very memorable evening. From the minute you walk in the door you will be treated like you are the most special couple in the room. Every person that works there goes above and beyond. You almost feel like you are in Europe at a little bistro. And to think it is right here in the lovely little town of Tariffville. Thank you for the wonderful memory you help create.“

“Best latkes that I’ve ever had!“

“My family of five recently had dinner at Beachland Tavern. I just want to give a shout-out to the staff. We have dairy allergies and they went above and beyond to make sure we were set. Thank you. We will definitely be back and we really appreciate it. Food was great, wine and beer were perfect, but the staff deserves gold stars! Thanks again and highly recommend, especially to families!“

“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.“

“The food Is pretty good. The service isn't bad. It's just a bit unorganized and quite slow. They only accept cash, but they do have a ATM area. You can differently have a conversation and talk.It's in a church cafeteria. I would encourage. Trying to at least once. The turkey wings are my favorite from this location.“

“That buttered hot dog roll 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 oh.my.gawwwddddd! SO good! And it doesn’t break at the bottom like most hot dog buns do. Service was super fast and all the staff was friendly and looked happy and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Great environment! Will go again!“

“Amazing tacos on taco Tuesday! Full plenty of meat for 3 tacos. The truffle Mac and Cheese is also delicious - highly recommend! Service was also amazing and quick.“

“Had our 37 grammar school reunion Our waitress Mary Lu was amazing We had a set up in the back which was perfect as we were a fun 🤩 group The food was great and the cocktails 🍹 amazing (recommend Strawberry coconut martini)“

“This venue was perfect for our wedding ceremony & reception. The location is gorgeous, the event manager is amazing to work with, the food is spectacular. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. This place will always be special to us.“

“This was a great unexpected experience. My friend I wanted sliders so we stopped in for that, not realizing it was 8:50 and they close at 9pm. The hostess was so sweet and still let us dine in which was greatly appreciated. Shout out to our server Aidan he was awesome!!! He didn't make sus feel rushed ! I ordered a porn star martini which was great!!! Instead of sliders we ordered a double smashed burger to share, one thing I loved as an option is we could do half regular fries and half sweet potato fries. You know I love some good accommodations!!!! he burger was very good, I like trying smashed burgers at different places. Max you got it right!!!! I really appreciate the kind service staff had to offer!!! We will be back!!“
