Just went and sign said closed even though Google says open.
Food took forever with no one else in the restaurant. Incorrect food order. Açai bowl was an abomination. Calamari tasted worst than a burned tire. No draught, just cans. I can’t cook but put me in the kitchen chef.
Servers are very nice though.

Mediocre at best! We didn’t realize the restaurant had sold (we loved Republic at the Linden) and the food, drinks, and service were all “meh.”
The “mimosa flight” I ordered consisted of four glasses filled with mysterious blue liquids. I took a sip and recoiled—it tasted like a blue jolly rancher with crippling depression. The remaining three (two also blue, one a sickly shade of muddy green) were also undrinkable. I asked my server if there was any juice in the mimosas and she had to ask. (!) When she came back she said no and I had to pull it out of her that they use some kind of syrup. I ended up sending it back, and tried to explain what a mimosa was to our server, but she didn’t seem to understand/care.
For a place that bills itself as a cocktail bar and then serves blue abominations that are called “mimosas” on the menu, this was not only disappointing but also blatantly false advertising.
The fact that we were the only people there for Sunday brunch is telling. We will not be back.

Everything we ordered was delicious and the staff was efficient.

Starting with the service we walked in with a party of 10 it was completely empty they had no customers and we were seated in the basement when we ordered drinks they were confused on everyone drink and never brought out my soda nor fries the food came out fast and was hot but there was only one waiter and couldn’t keep up also he didn’t understand what we was saying because he spoke another language waited 20 min just for a check and box also no kid beverages also a small selection of food I don’t think they are equipped for multiple customers at once this was my second time going will not be going back

The food is AMAZING. My best friend and I had our bday dinner there this past Sunday and the GM, Tico and staff were very accommodating. I also stop in for happy hour from time to time and it’s always a good vibe. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for delicious food and great service. …Chrissy.

What are these dozey ol' reviewers on about. This place is the bee's knees, cat's pjs, and the donkey's jacket!
The service is not slow, it's well paced.
The staff are busy, but friendly and strongly inviting.
The drinks and professional made in front of you at the bar.
The atmosphere is lively but safe.
Some of food has small plates, but is worth every penny tenfold.
This has been the best experience in Hartford.
More fool you.
Also ... They didn't a flight of mimosas... Woof my delicate little bonce.

Wow it is hard to know where to start with how bad this place is. Just came out of having drinks and “lunch” here. First the drinks, $14 cocktails that basically taste like fruit juice. I think I was more sober when I left than I was when I went in. Then the food. It was disgusting. $14 for a small pot of humous with deep fried burnt pitta bread. Sent that back. Then a salad that looked like it had sat on the side for a week. It was sour and rotten. Also used canned pickled vegetables! Sent that back too. Then fries, which were ok, but they were fries! I see that there are a number of bad reviews of this place in recent months since new management took over. Pay attention to this. This is truly as bad as everyone says. Avoid at all costs.

Hours are incorrect, stop by and they are not even open even when there business hours say they open at 11:30. Just goes to show how the business is running, I looked at there recent reviews and I’m glad they were closed after reading all the one star reviews
Service pretty bad. Not terrible but not kinda the tuna tartare was frozen and chopped into huge pieces, not fine at all. Drinks were ok. Place is cute but food is not good. I would come back if I lived in Hartford and wanted a cocktail but coming from nyc they really disappointed.

The atmosphere was great, exactly what we were looking for. The staff was pretty friendly, but where we ran into issues was with the food. We got the steak and the chicken Milanese, and honestly, I’ve NEVER had a meal as bad as these two were. The Milanese was eggy and had a bland, tasteless sauce across it that looked like bodily fluid. The steak was subpar with about 2lb of fingerling potatoes that had no flavor- and no steak knife to cut the meat. All in all, incredibly disappointed and will not make our way back to this spot.
