Started with the spinach and artichoke dip and Maria's guacamole, both solid and flavorful. Our table ordered an arrange of items from the shrimp and avocado salad, the classic angus burger and steak tacos. Burgers and salad were great, the steak tacos not so great, but not awful. Haven't been here in YEARS, but will definitely go back and try again. Only complain, music WAY too loud for the dining room, constantly shouting to speak and be heard at the table.

The service was attentive, but having one bartender and a completely packed restaurant meant our drinks took half an hour. When our food arrived, the vegetables were so saturated with broth the potatoes had disintegrated in it and were completely inedible. The chicken on top was barely salvageable and not even close to worth the price point. We were extremely disappointed with the quality of food, though our server was marvelous and so kind. Unfortunately, the service alone doesn't warrant a return trip. Take your business elsewhere if you're looking for quality food.

Great meal going back to Trumbull Kitchen. Always enjoy their food, drinks and the vibe of the restaurant.

The ricotta toast apprtizer was outstanding. The y were very busy (game night) but our server did a great job making sure we were taken care of. Will definitely return.

My husband and I dined at Trumbull Kitchen to celebrate our anniversary prior to a concert. We were immediately wished a happy anniversary upon check in and were even presented with a card! Our server was very attentive and our food was fabulous. The clams and filet mignon steak bites were highlights. We felt the restaurant offered a great value given the high quality of the food. We can’t wait to return!

Have been hear a few times years ago and it was very good, this time was very different. We sat at bar and it took a lengthy amount of time to just order a drink, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. The appetizer (whipped ricotta) was not good, we both took a bite and didn't eat anymore. It was messy and tasted like toast with cream cheese and jelly. Dinner was fish tacos and brick chicken, both lacked flavor and presentation. Rice with tacos looked/tasted like it came from a frozen bag. Thought at least desert (“carrot cake” would be good but no, we ended up with breakfast, a giant waffle with ice cream loaded with frosting. Unfortunately this restaurant no longer lives up to its expectations. Hopefully they turn it around. One positive was that the wine was nice.

I have been going to TK for the last six years, at least once a week, and have always loved it. However, the last three times I’ve visited and wanted to sit outside on a nice day, there has been a group of men smoking cigars while people are eating. On all three occasions, I had to get up and leave before even ordering due to cigar smoke being blown directly at my table. This is extremely unpleasant, and I’m unsure how this is even allowed... I hope TK will consider implementing a no-smoking policy for the outdoor dining area so that loyal customers can continue to support the business.

Hostess and wait staff excellent and loved the themed-happy hour menu. We also ordered off the regular menu and everything was delicious. Will go back if in Hartford area again

Overall the experience was good, excellent service. The food was good, but really lacked flavor, maybe it was the dish I ordered

My first time trying, I ordered online to be picked up as I have a short window for lunch. When I got there I told him I was there for an online order. He said he checked and it wasn't ready yet. I waited over 10 minutes and he kept saying he would check, but as I watched him he just kept going to other tables and never actually going to check. When he finally brought it out, it was cold and clearly sitting the entire time. Disappointed for $38 lunch.

Very popular for downtown Hartford - even for a Sunday. Service and food were excellent, was made to feel very welcome. Great selection of wine and beer too - great IPA to accompany a great burger

Enjoy Trumbull kitchen very much. The food is very good and the menu is nice. Easy walk from The Bushnell.
