38 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ellington

“We wanted something different so we stopped there, great choice. You can't be in a hurry though, kinda like eating at home with friends, but you don't have to cook. Lol. We liked it. Chatted with a few other regulars and had a great Saturday morning there.“

“Took a trip to DiFiore Ravioli shop in Ellington, CT. They make 15 varieties of homemade Ravioli, sauces, oils, amazing desserts, and more. We picked up the TENDERLOIN & BACON ravioli, and the SHRIMP & ROASTED GARLIC ravioli. They were out of the lobster ravioli, but we picked up the homemade Tiramasu. While there we saw they made gourmet sandwiches, which we ordered and ate outside. They were amazing, so big, we could only eat half (pics taken after we started) Great place, staff were fantastic!! Very nice people. We will definitely return!!!“

“The service is incredible, Madison helped me understand all the allergies and recommended some cookies for me to try, while doing all of this it looked like she was alone but didn't rush me and let me take the time I needed. After I ordered and she went to get my cookies it looked like she was doing everything behind the counter at once and it looked fantastic. Will come back again“

“Ambiente familiar. Desayuno riquísimo, buena presentación y muy amables. Aun los visitantes nos hablaron y trataron como familia. Fué una bonita experiencia 10000000%:recommended“

“Today was my first time here! I had an amazing experience! The food was great! My frozen coffee was delicious! But the most amazing thing was I saw an employee stop what he was doing to bring an elderly dog back to his neighbor! It’s the little things for me. I will definitely be going back for some ice cream and frozen coffee this summer! Thanks for sharing your beautiful property!“

“The best vineyard we’ve ever been to. Great wines, great family/staff. Your hard work has paid off. ❤️“

“Mexicali is nothing short of a culinary paradise for lovers of authentic Mexican cuisine. From the moment you walk through the door you can feel the love and passion that permeates this place. Everything about Mexicali exudes warmth, authenticity, and a sense of belonging that is often hard to find in the bustling restaurant scene. The Service at Mexicali is where this establishment truly shines. The staff here is a reflection of Roberto himself—caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each guest’s experience. What sets them apart is Roberto’s personal touch; he knows many of his patrons by name and works alongside his team in the kitchen, ensuring that everything runs seamlessly.

The guacamole is a must-try; made fresh daily with the ripest avocados, zesty lime, and a hint of cilantro, it’s the perfect start to your meal. Pair it with their house-made tortilla chips, and you're already in paradise. Everything there is honestly so good you can’t go wrong with anything from their menu! They’re food is made with love and you can taste it!“

“Love Love Love Monet’s table Food is always great Staff always helpful and professional Great menu Not the same old menus you see in most restaurants Atmosphere always beautiful Sometimes they have beautiful paintings hanging on the walls you can purchase My only regret is their hours Wish they were open all year six days and served lunch and dinner I know that’s selfish on my part Everyone has to have time off and vacations Saturday brunch is also very very good and reasonable See you soon at Monet’s“

“Amazing food!“

“first time there, great selection of beer, great prices and fun atmosphere. Only thing I would suggest is put regular croutons on the Caesar salad and not the pretzel ends, they were very hard and seemed stale.“

“Service was great, he answered questions, made a few recommendations, the ice cream was amazing, hard to imagine any better“

“Stopped here on my way from Mass to Bradley (because to hell with expensive airport food, and I like to support local) to grab lunch, and I was not disappointed. Ordered a mini pizza, which at 10" was more than enough for 1. Fresh chicken, bacon and tomatoes, delicious tomato base, overall a very good pizza. I sat at one of the 3 barstools to eat a bit before I headed out, great spot to watch cars/people. Nice little place. Friendly staff.“

“We had my husband’s work holiday party here last night and it went absolutely perfect. There were 20 of us so they set us up in the private back room and it couldn’t have gone better! Drinks were great, appetizers were huge, and all the food came out so quick. Everyone loved it! We will be back soon!“

“I have never had an opportunity to dine in.. however, everytime I come to pick up my take out the staff is always friendly and the resturant is clean ans inviting. The food is always 10/10 no matter the time of day!! All requests are met everytime!!“

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

“Yum! Yum! Yuuuuuuuuuuum!!!“

“We had such a wonderful experience at Joey’s Garlic! The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the penne a la vodka, shrimp scampi, and fried calamari, and every dish was full of flavor. The portions were huge—definitely family-style! Honestly, one plate would have been enough for both of us, and we still had plenty of leftovers to enjoy at home. The restaurant itself has a beautiful setting with an industrial hipster vibe, warm lighting, and a fun flare that makes the atmosphere really inviting. Service was excellent—our server was both fast and friendly, which made the evening even better. For the quality and size of the portions, the pricing was amazing and very affordable. We truly felt like we got more than our money’s worth. We’re already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu next time!“

“Had my son’s 21st Birthday party. Spent the whole day cooking. I am so glad I had Cocktails and the Carriage there to take care of the bartending. It’s usually my job as well. It took a huge burden off of my shoulders. The drinks were fantastic and the bartender was unbelievable. I actually got to sit down and relax a bit which never happens. I highly recommend them for any function.“

“Always excellent service and attentive“

“This Olive Garden was convenient to our hotel and these weary travelers were looking forward to a nice Italian meal. It turned out to be even better than we'd hoped. Our server, Lillianne, was so friendly and professional. She went out of her way to make sure everything about our visit was perfect. The food was excellent, even better than usual, if that's possible. Kudos, Olive Garden and Lillianne.“

“I stopped here while in the area and decided to try a Soup Flight for $12 it came with 3 mini cups of soup ( New England clam chowder, tomato and sausage and kale ) with oyster crackers. Soup was delicious and very filling. Staff were helpful and friendly when trying to figure out what to order. Food tasted very fresh here too. For a drink my partner got Samocha iced latte which came with caramel, mocha, coconut, with coconut cold foam, and coconut Flakes. It was delicious! Definitely would grab coffee and or food when around this coffee shop again. This coffee shop is connected to Conn. valley brewing too. Plenty of parking also.“

“Service was outstanding. Owner explained specials walked around visiting customers making sure everything was great. Started with shrimp cocktail and stuffed mushrooms. Moved into the scallop dinner and wife had a pasta dish oh and the homemade soup then dessert all food was incredible can’t say enough good about this place“

“Some of the best smoothies I’ve ever had…. Not only are the smoothies delicious… But Troy is a real gem. I love going in and talking with him. Super nice guy who can throw together a fabulous smoothie thanks, Troy.“

“Well worth the price. Love their jalapeño cream cheese!!“

“This place has a great atmosphere especially in the summers when you can be outside. Great place to hangout have a drink and share some appetizers. The beer tastes great and there is a wide selection of beer, sour beers, and ciders. If you can catch a happy hour, drinks are $5 and select food items are $5. Very reasonable. I give it 4 stars because the food options are limited and on a busy night they will run out of a lot of options. Food can also take a long time because they are not big enough to do high volumes.“

“As a local business owner that frequents Anthony's Restaurant, I've yet to have a less than great experience. Many locals truly appreciate the quality the owner puts into his authentic dishes. The pizza is always great, with generous toppings, the meatballs are homemade and flavorful, the sauce is also taseful and the dishes are plentiful! The owner has been in the business for decades and truly cares deeply about thir customers experiences and is very friendly. This restaurant includes a family effort, they provide a clean and positive family experience and local business love their food as well. I know personally, because I provide gift cards on behalf of business relationships in the area & their always happy with their experiences. I recommend giving them another try - to those who had unfortunate past experience, they've got a better crew than they once had. Keep in mind it's been profoundly challenging these past few years on small businesses & good help dosen't come easy.“

“Great service, the food arrived quickly and was very good, and our server was very attentive. The place was clean too.“

“I went through the drive through and the worker was so kind and very helpful. The food was phenomenal and so was their sauce. I'm looking forward to my next meal. I got the 12 piece nuggets with fries and a sprite. Overall a wonderful meal and I highly recommend chickfila as its better than other fast food restaurants!“

“Only complaints about this place are there's not a lot of parking spots, and this store tends to run out of things faster than other stores in the area. Multiple times when I've gone on the app to order a particular sandwich or syrup flavor it's out of stock so I go to a different location. My point is, maybe it's popular enough that it should be stocked more? That's a good thing.“

“I love Longhorn!!! The food is always good and the atmosphere is nice!!! My granddaughter graduated from high-school and this was my treat to her. There were 5 of us and our server was Ahna. Ahna was pleasant and very personable!!! She gave suggestions and you can tell she is excellent at her job!!! Thank you Ahna and Longhorn for making this a great experience for my granddaughter!!“

“I work over by the mall so I often stop in here before my shifts. I place mobile orders and they’re always ready by the time I come in. But if they’re out of something then I interact with the staff, and that’s why I’m leaving this review. ALL STAFF are fast to help me, they’re ALL friendly, and energetic when im half awake and half coherent. Even though I live in Hartford, this is my new go to Dunkin for whenever I need a boost of energy before work. Going here is the best part of my morning, lol. I’ll never have to worry about running late to work because everything here is so in and out and that’s what keeps me coming back.

To everyone else, stop giving attitudes to them. They’re great at their job.“

“We loved our drinks and food but the happiest were the boys with their pup cups!! Thank you, Kaleigh!!“

“I came in yesterday Sunday and they where pretty mush closing but the lady outside having her break came up to me and my wife and told us the grill will be closing soon a s they just added a Panni press with amazing sandwichs ready to go omg we ended up getting the buffalo chicken and chicken salad warp was amazing staff was so nice they even gave us a $1 off for next time check them out 150 center st Manchester and a big thank you to the girl with the nicw arm tattoos she was the best we will definitely be coming back“

“Tammy was absolutely wonderful during our breakfast at IHOP today! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Her positive attitude and excellent customer service made our dining experience even more enjoyable. It’s clear she cares about her customers and takes pride in her work. Thank you, Tammy, for starting our day off with such great service. We will definitely be back! 😊“
