“This spot is one of my go to restaurants. The food is creative and locally sourced, there are fun specials, the cocktails are hit/miss. Service depends on how busy the restaurant is, it seems like the servers get relatively large sections so when it's busy you might not see your server for a while but they are very attentive when you can get a hold of them. The dessert and coffee is always very good!“
“(Last visited/ordered from 4/28/2023.) Checkers Pizza is that reliable old friends that's always there when you need them via the Slice app. Lol. let me explain. Atmosphere/Appearance: It's a flat out pizza joint tucked on the end of a crummy-looking plaza right off of the Berlin Turnpike. The parking lot is beat up and it's right next to a Target. Inside you have a TV off to the left playing some movie or whatever the employees there are watching at the time. Lol. There's like 4 chairs in here IN CASE you ever wanted to eat in, but you don't. This is the kind of place you can come in to grab a slice and smash or carry-out. You want to eat this food in the comfort of your own home. Service: There isn't much service. Lol. You walk in, say your name and pick up your stuff. This isn't a bad thing. Food: I've had several different pizzas here as well as every one of their wing flavors. The pizza is out of this world and it really is legit. It doesn't even matter the toppings, because they've knocked it out of the park with their base sauce, cheese and crust. For the wings I've tried the Hot, Lemon Pepper, Jamaican Jerk and Garlic Parmesan. My favorite of these is the Garlic Parmesan, but ALL of their wings are good. The jerk can be a bit salty. Value: It's a pizza joint. Lol. Act accordingly. Like I mentioned earlier, this place has always been good to me. They're open late, they deliver, the food is good and they've never done me wrong! Check them out if you get the munchies!“
“Great atmosphere! Came for pre-turkey day trivia which also was a blanket drive-- good cause! We like ciders and sours so did a flight with Sucker Punch'd and Scorpion Bowl being our favorites! Service was fast, friendly and helpful (the keg of scorpion kicking with my pour so they have me another of my choice, which was awesome). Would def stop in again!“
“One of my favorite go-to breweries in New Britain! Have only had good experiences with the service here, everyone's always very friendly and personable! Great spot for big groups, as it's super spacious. Also, dog friendly!! My little guy loves to join me and my friends for a night out, enjoying his own special dog beer! The human beers are great too with a large selection, highly recommend!!“
“Picked up lunch today and brought it home. Excellent food! The goobkwr was outstanding and hubby loves the jalapeno popper dog. Also got Mac & cheese and the baked beans which I highly recommend and of course the salty balls. Had to also get the T-shirt too. Best food in the area. Makes me miss summer cookouts and was a nice break for all the holiday craziness and foods.“
“OSA is hands down the best restaurant in CT. Everything about this place is 11 out of 10. The service is impeccable, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Drinks are out of this world. The food is like nothing else. We had the ricotta and it was bursting with flavor. Honey, salt, roasted garlic and chives with sourdough. Yum. I had the 15 day aged corned beef and it was hands down the best I’ve had ever and I’m a Harp! Bartender as always is the best he’s always angling for you to try one of his libations and he won’t let you go till you do: OSA is the best CT restaurant. If you’re listening Michelin give them a star…or two!!!!“
“Had the privilege of eating here today. As a person who doesn’t eat out often, and loves to cook I was very impressed by this place! We went for lunch and I had the double burger with grilled veggies and my mom had the lamb gyro. They catered to my dietary needs and were very friendly. My mom said it was the best gyro she has ever had, and my burgers were so delish and cooked perfectly. I can’t wait to try their oxtail cabbage soup. I can’t recommend this place enough and hope to come back when I’m in the area.“
“We have been to the Bergen House numerous times and it never disappoints! The owners and staff are so friendly and the service is spot on! The mead is delicious and we love stopping in to see what new flavors they have come up with! My favorites this time were Larry and Blueberry!“
“Really well crafted beers. The inside of the brewery is built and decorated to give you a warm, cozy feel. You will not feel like you're on Main St in EH. It made me feel like I was in a brewery in NH or ME. Worth the trip! Will definitely be back!“

“My favorite is the salmon and Rasta pasta (spicy). Food is great and service as well.Located downtown Hartford. You can take it to go or eat in. Cozy little place. I come from New York at least once every two months to get my food from this establishment“
“One of the best vegan restaurants in CT. If you haven’t tried their food, you’re missing out! My favorite is their mac-n-cheese, nachos, and burgers. They had a special dessert one night- apple cobbler- omg it was so delicious, a piece of heaven on earth lol. Love this place, never disappoints. #“
“I've been meaning to try this brewery for a while now. Glad I finally got a chance to visit. No frills, casual atmosphere. Quality beer on tap. I definitely recommend the Stargazer and the Remington. Happy to have so many quality brewery choices in CT.“
“We hired Blue Chip Creamery for an employee appreciation event and we were not disappointed. The ice-cream was delicious and the driver (unfortunately forgot her name, very sweet blonde woman) did a great job keeping up with the orders. The pricing was very fair and the flavors were very unique, people loved the different options! The staff were also super accommodating to our last minute attendee changes. Would 10/10 recommend this truck for any event.“
“Went before a Wolfpack game and they did a great job handling the crowds but happy we had a reservation since there was a wait due to multiple things at the XL center - great to see Harford so busy ! Had the rice bowl and hubby had the chicken wrap - wish everything was just a bit spicier since i ordered the spicy port with the spicy chili sauce. Started with a chicken appetizer with a honey mustard sauce - that was good too (no photo). If you have an option, don't order the fries with your meal. Seem to be just frozen steak fries that aren't cooked well enough Never went downstairs but heard the bathroom situation is strange from others in our group -can't even put TP in the toilet ? SMH“
“One of the best food places in west Hartford. Truly impressed with the chef’s talent. The flatbread was phenomenal- we got the wild mushroom which is drizzled in truffle dressing. An absolute must try, one of the best flatbreads I’ve had. The couscous is a staple and delicious but the prize went to the duck confit and wild mushroom ravioli. So much flavor, and the ingredients compliment each other very well in this dish. The only somewhat down side is that it is a smaller space, so you may require a reservation“
“I'm back in CT and love love love ice cream. Woke up craving some so I found this spot in Wethersfield. I had Blackraspberry Oreo with Campfire Smores it was deliciousssss ???. Like so freaking good!! As soon as I finished I couldn't wait to go back. Def will be trying everything they have especially the milkshakes. Next time I'm def getting marshmallow fluff as a topping. If you live in CT and haven't been there yet you're sooo missing out!!“
“I came in here on a Saturday afternoon when I was in town for the Hartford Marathon. It wasn't too busy and it was easy to find a seat. I ordered a flight and a half order of nachos. The half order was a large portion and they did not skim on the toppings!“
“This place is one of my favorite restaurants to go out with the family enjoying good atmosphere food and pleasant service.This place is one of my favorite restaurants to go out with family enjoying good food, atmosphere and pleasant service.“
“Delicious homemade ice cream! I tried dark chocolate raspberry and mint chocolate chip both were very rich in flavor. They also have dairy free and Italian ice. Pricing overall was fairly standard. Staff was friendly. Both me and my friend enjoyed our ice cream. I came in the winter I can only imagine what this place would be like in the summer. I will definitely be back here. One of my new favorite ice cream places!“
“We hosted our friend’s Celebration of Life at WeHa. Cody was flexible with us about the date/timing of the party as it coincided with an already pre-planned event. Additionally, he was very responsive to our many emails! The venue was beautiful, and it was a great location to get 100 people together to raise a glass to our live who passed.“
“Excellent place to go to. Great views of the first hole while having a meal makes it all worthwhile. Really good food (especially the burgers and fries) and friendly staff all around. Looking forward to future visits and some of that very good sweet tea again. ?“
“Great summer ice cream spot. Order at window service, limited out door seating BUT the ice cream is amazing. Some many creative flavors along with the classics. The price is perfect and the service is great. We got the yippee skippy (peanut butter I cream with caramel, brownie bits and chocolate). The moose tracks is great too.“
“Hidden in the corner, somewhere in Newington. Tokyo Cafe was a pleasantly delicious and wholesome surprise. My partner and I decided to venture out and try somewhere new and we may have just found our new regular spot.The dining room doesn’t have too much seating (6-8 tables max) and I would definitely consider it an intimate but cozy vibe. We frequent sushi of all calibers, this isn’t meant to be compared to Nobu or other establishments of the sort. It is an excellent neighborhood sushi restaurant.The food was fresh and delectable . My partner really enjoyed the Kani Salad as an appetizer. She said it was unique in taste and refreshing. I had a house salad with ginger dressing and the miso soup which was just what I wanted and what you would expect. We also shared the Pepper Tuna Tataki ??? absolutely delightful. I must mention all from the dressing to the consistency of the kani salad, this wasn’t the generic all you can eat, run of the mill spot.The very nice lady that waited on us was very attentive and put care into her work. The Sushi Itamae delivered with a beautiful presentation and construction of the “Sushi Sashimi Combo 4 Us”. We finished the meal off with some fried ice cream and left happy and full. I would recommend this place and we will be returning.“
