“Stopped by after a recommendation from friends. The classic margarita flight was so fun (and yummy!) and the Spicy Mango shrimp and Birria Tacos were to die for. Service was above and beyond. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Had the best time and food! Our first time here and we sat at the bar. Drink special Simple Plan was tasty with a spicy finish so just right! We loved Tuna Tartare. Best tartare ever and we are not kidding. Poached Shrimp Tostada was good too. Spicy Caesar Salad delish to the last bite. We finished with Salted Caramel Crème Brûlée which was well balanced sweet and flavor tasty. We talked with others at the bar about their dishes and those got good reviews too. So we are looking forward to coming back.“

“Came here after going to bingo Loco to finish my celebratory birthday.

We walked in within an hour of closing, so we were given last call. We were seated at a booth, but quickly moved to the bar where the bartender made our concoctions, chatted with us, and talked about the old distillery that was before the parlor.

I got the Smoke Break; mezcal, wild moon sumac, apricot, amaro del capo, lime and absinthe. It was very good, very smoky, but the perfect balance.

And of course, the birthday is not complete without shots! We ended up taking the sour cherry vodka, which is one of my favorites

We were unable to get food as the kitchen was closed, but we will have to try next time“

“My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful meal here on a recent Thursday evening. We were greeted warmly, seated quickly, and served very well by the team at No Mames. Our drinks, appetizers, tacos, and desserts were all outstanding. We will return with friends!“

“So happy a fun, late night bar opened in GB! Great drinks, adorable patio, and chill atmosphere. Friendly bartenders, which I love. Definitely recommend.“

“I used to love coming here pre pandemic! I brought my friend with me from out of town and we were having a GREAT night with the bartender Dustin (who literally was excellent), and at the end of the night it was just my friend, the owner, and I. The conversation was calm and civil and fun and suddenly out of NOWHERE the owner proceeded to verbally assault us, calling us expletives and making us feel unsafe and unwelcome. We decided it was no longer for us and stepped outside, at which point he FOLLOWED US OUTSIDE and alternated between apologizing and cursing at us and begging us to come back inside until we left. I’m glad we didn’t go back inside as his behavior was erratic and potentially dangerous, considering we were two women and he is a much larger man. We were afraid and felt safer walking home (in Hartford that says something) rather than staying put. I’m bummed because I used to like this place, but it’s come to my attention we are certainly not the only women with this experience. Please be careful y’all.“

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.

“We went to Wethersfield location for my Grandson's Birthday. I loved the sauce. Although they stated it had minimal cheese, I would have liked just a little bit more. I would definitely go back and recommend it. I like the way it was served and the way it was sliced. I liked the big, clean open space.“

“Had weekday lunch, ordered eggplant parm and tiramisu.
Zero complaints about service or atmosphere.
Now, the food:
1. Eggplant parm - great! And a decent portion for lunch.
2. Pasta (rigatoni) that came with eggplant - almost cold, severely undercooked (I do understand a concept of all dente, and this was not it), tasteless, and in a spicy (i should have been asked) red sauce. Disappointing.
3. Tiramisu - tasted great, but probably the smallest portion I've ever gotten in a restaurant... for $10.00, 2x2 inches is a bit too small.
Overall: I will come and eat there again.“
