50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Newington

“Fresh sushi, great service and reasonably priced. Best sushi restaurant around.“

“One of my faves !! Love the people that work there and food is sinful!!“

“My son and I walked in as they were closing the other day and the owner cooked us up some fried rice and egg rolls even though his chef had already left. Great food and service!“

“Delicious! First got one of their waffles at a jazz festival years ago in Hartford and knew I had to go to their restaurant. I’m originally from CT and plead for my mom to bring me here every time I’m home from Boston. Recommend it to all my friends if they’re in CT. I think the Newington location is great. They take credit card now which is nice! The chicken and waffles is all I’ve ever ordered because it’s to die for truly. Get it with the powdered sugar and maple syrup (my mom does without the sugar). The chips are perfectly crispy and so tasty! The chicken is juicy and breaded beautifully and the waffle is the most delicious sweet thing you could ever eat. I always end up having leftovers for later or the next day and it’s just as good cold but easily warmed up.“

“A good hang out spot!!! I highly recommend this place❤️❤️❤️“

“I fly to West Hartford every weekend just to eat at Kitchen Plate. I live in North Carolina, and yet somehow this has become the most logical decision of my life—because once you’ve eaten here, nothing else compares.

Kitchen Plate isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience. From the moment the food hits the table, you can tell everything is made with care, intention, and an unreal level of skill. The flavors are bold but balanced, comforting but exciting, and consistently unforgettable. No matter what I order, it somehow ends up being the best thing I’ve eaten all week—every week.

What truly sets this place apart, though, is the chef. He is, without exaggeration, my favorite chef ever. Watching someone put this much passion and pride into their craft is rare, and you can taste it in every single bite. The food feels personal, like it was made specifically for you. There’s creativity, heart, and serious talent behind every dish, and it shows.

I’ve eaten at plenty of great spots, but Kitchen Plate is the only place that has made me plan flights around a meal. That’s not a joke or an exaggeration—it’s just that good. If you live nearby, don’t take it for granted. And if you don’t? Trust me, it’s worth the trip.“

“Five star coffee, food, service, prices, five star overall. Plenty of seating, and parking!“

“A Hidden Gem! 🍻Coles Road Brewing I recently discovered this amazing brewery and I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed afternoon with Sean. The beer selection is impressive, with a wide range of styles to suit every palate. I especially loved No Straws Required-Raspberry ❤️ The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they're always happy to recommend a beer based on your preferences. If you're a beer lover in the Berlin/Kensington Area , you definitely need to check out Coles Road Brewing“

“If I could write a book on how much I adore this farm, I would. But for the sake of readers I'll keep it short.

I stumbled upon Preli's Farm and Winery in my search for grape leaves for a batch of homemade dolmas. John the owner was very helpful and understanding, and thus began my loyalty.

Everything grown or made on the farm is a treat. From delicious heirloom tomatoes to giant fresh blackberries to the vast catalog of wines and ciders... I've never been disappointed.

It's clear that John, Jeanne, Bailey and the crew work their hardest to create such an impressive selection of products. I've made it my goal to visit a few times a month!

The farm itself is tranquil and inviting and the service is always top notch. Any time I've visited, I felt welcomed. Having their three-legged farm dog Daisy greet me upon arrival has brought me happiness every time!

So if you're on the search for a farm for all your needs including pick-your-own services, CSA shares, or wine tastings I suggest visiting this gem in Glastonbury.“

“so fresh and delicious. really nice staff.“

“We took my dad there just last nite for father’s day he and I got the prime rib. It was excellent so tender and juicy just cooked to perfection. My mom had the southwest salad with chicken which she loved and my boyfriend had steak tips. Great food, our waitress was awesome, and great atmosphere. We will definitely be going back there!!!!“

“The owner and their entire staff are amazing. What is even more special is the taste and crunch from the fresh pizza.“

“We love Josies ! From the home made bread and muffins to the great staff we always have a great time .“

“We had my daughter’s baby shower at Lola’s. From the start of booking until the day of the shower. So easy to work with. The day of the shower, we were greeted with such warmth and truly our waitress for our party, Becky, was fantastic. Catered to our every need and was so beyond helpful. She worked very hard and was so pleasant! The food was amazing and plenty of it! Guests went back for seconds! Becky even went above and beyond for my mom who couldn’t eat something and prepared a new one just for her. Truly a gem of a place! Thank you again to the owners and to our waitress who went above and beyond for making our day so perfect! We can’t wait to come back! Kim Landeen“
