“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!“

“Outstanding! The customer service was genuine and very welcoming, especially for CT (IYKYK). The menu is vast, and it takes some time to narrow it down and make a decision. The food was top-notch, delicious, with great portions, and the price was very fair. I would recommend a morning excursion to the Sloppy Waffle #treatyourself #goingbackformore“

“This coffee shop is so much more than a place to grab a drink. It is like a community living room. Warm, creative, and welcoming in the most genuine way. There are art supplies to sit and create, free books to borrow, and games to play. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, connect, and stay awhile. The cold brew I had today was absolutely amazing…..smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. Even more meaningful was the experience with the owner. Her kindness, authenticity, and passion shine through in every detail of this space. You can feel how much heart has gone into building something that truly serves the community. I’m so grateful to my son and his girlfriend for encouraging us to stop in after a UConn game, what a gift that recommendation was. Places like this are rare, and they matter. If you love small businesses, creativity, connection, and spaces that bring people together, please show up and support this one. Bring a friend. Stay for a while. Make it part of your routine. Convenient to the XL Center, Yard Goats, downtown, and right off the highway. Closed Mondays, open all other days — plan your visit and don’t miss it. Support this local gem. Our community needs places like this. ☕️📚🖌️🥰“

“It was our First time going there today with My husband and Everything we got was Delicious! I highly recommend going there! It was Wonderful, and I can't wait to go back there again!“

“Fantastic experience. The food is made with all fresh ingredients. They mix their own spices. The condiments are ground daily. The meat is brought in and cut daily. If they run out then they've run out. That's the price for fresh and authentic food. The experience is a wonderful delight. If you know Indian food, you know that they have it down. Hospitality, food quality and taste are 💯!!! Five stars all around! Thank you!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Very friendly and what a great couple to host we hired them for our town football team as a pregame treat and their ice cream was phenomenal!!!! Highly recommend, looking forward to booking for my personal use in the near future. Ice cream is my weakness and they definitely pass the test .10/10“

Goes to show how great this place is.“

“The best brewery around! I love going with my husband and dog to hang out. Helpful and friendly staff“

“Best Chinese food in CT! Highly recommended if you’re looking for authentic Chinese food. This is not your typical American-Chinese restaurant, but it’s good as it’s meant to be cooked in China. Yum!“

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

“My husband and I went for happy hour and it was great! The happy hour is only at the bar, but it’s really spacious and the bartender was really attentive.
The food was amazing, we ordered multiple dishes and they came out extremely fast. Would 100% it to anyone.“

“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.“

“Clean Restaurant, Friendly n Welcoming Staff and Fantastic Food!!! I have No need to go to any other Restaurant cuz they have it All here..In my opinion, it's the Best Jamaican Restaurant in Hartford.“

“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.“

“We held a celebration of life event at the brewery. It was the perfect vibe we were looking for, casual, laid back. The staff was professional, kind, and made everything so easy allowing us to relax and enjoy the time with our guests. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I’ve been here twice in the past week. I meet the new chef Mike, it was reallly cool that he came and talked to us, he said all of his specials are made from scratch and both the salmon bites and hulk burger were some of the best things I’ve eaten in a long time. Great waitressing too. I’d recommend everyone to come.“

“The food is delicious. The restaurant is clean and the staff are very nice. The seating feels like being in a living room of a home in Middle East, cozy and welcoming. I just think that it would be best if the tables were a little higher and if they turn the TV on or play some music to break the silence because it doesn't feel like you can have private talk when it's dead silence. I suggest something like a soft music may be with a show of Middle East paysage.“

“so fresh and delicious. really nice staff.“

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

“I was there last night with my family I came from Florida a few days ago and went to ct to see my brother that goes there all the time with his wife and I may say it was amazing service and all 🙏🏻😊“

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

“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“
