“We went here for a family dinner and really liked it. The food was good and the service was great. The staff were very attentive. It was a little loud as they were very busy but not too bad. We had a reservation and were seated further away from the bar, which helped. The food portion was generous, and everyone was pleased with their order.“

“What a great spot for an event. I met up with one of my business groups and wow they put on a wonderful spread. I mean there were shrimp tacos and pretzel bites and nachos and tuna and salad. I was too busy to eat the salad but it looked gorgeous. I had wine and it was light and crisp. Lovely staff by the way which is always “

“I've had many different plates at this spot but tonight.. OMG. I got the Mediterranean Salad with crispy chicken & it was sooo good. The dressing was delicious and although it was creamy, it was a light dressing. The fried chickpeas and feta made it!! My daughter had the kids chicken quesadilla w/ I'm assuming house made chips?! But our dishes looked EXACTLY like they presented in Facebook! *chefs kiss* also the guy working there was so nice!!“

“My wife and I had our first dinner at Vinted Wine Bar tonight. My wife has had a good amount of experience at Vinted, but it was my first time there. Top to bottom... TRULY EXCELLENT!! We shared a nice bottle of Daou Cab while sitting at the bar, and started with the Whipped Hummus, with Crispy Scallion Cake. Best Hummus you'll ever eat, and the warm crispy thin cake slices are very delicious with the Hummus. Terrific! Then we split and shared 2 entrees: The Chicken Milanese, and the Vinted Prime Burger. Both, also super delicious. Rich, flavorful, perfectly prepared by the talented crew in the kitchen lead by the executive chef, and partner, Mike Voight. Ate every bite of everything. Lastly, for desert we shared the Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake. Holy cow, that is one incredible desert. Our bartender Chris was very helpful, friendly, and although busy had time to talk with us. And we found all the staff, extremely personable. Mike has a finely tuned ship in Vinted. We'll be back. #impressed“

“I love going here with my family several times. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is very nice and staff is very kind and friendly.I also love the artwork and carvings throughout the restaurant.I would love to see them close on Sunday orMonday, so the restaurant and all of the people can get a rest as they are working very hard.Can’t wait to go back.“

“A true hidden gem! Though the menu may be on the slightly smaller side, the portion sizes are good, and everything is fresh and tastes amazing. It’s obvious that the owner (who is super sweet) has a passion for cooking and making high quality meals. The chicken banh mi sandwich and the bowl are personal favorites, as well as the Hawaiian Pork Bowl, Thanksgiving sandwich ….and of course the (to-die-for…) chocolate chip cookies.“

“I'm not one to post pictures of my food. I also don't usually post reviews. But as a small business owner myself, I felt compelled to because of the wonderful experience my wife and I had tonight. We have been to Nataz before in their previous location. And though those visits were amazing, the venue was a bit to tight for me. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy intimate settings. But it was just a bit to cramped. This new location. We'll let's just say, it's a hidden gem that I hope you all get a chance to visit. First and foremost, lets talk about the food. It was fantastic! Enough said. You can check out their menu online and see the offerings first hand. We tried a fish, and a beef dish. Both were generous portions, and delicious. Next, the ambience. Intimate, comfortable, and inviting. Definitely night and day to the former location, and more to my liking. Finally, the service. We were taken care of by Ashlyn and her level of attention to us was outstanding. Not to take away from the rest of the staff. They all were attentive and professional. To the point that everyone said good night as we left. Bravo Nataz! I highly recommend you give this restaurant a look if you haven't already. Their prices are reasonable. Their wine list is pleasantly satisfying at fair prices. But their fair and service is what will get you hopefully leaving a review as well.“

“We ate here late on a Sunday night (8:15) before heading out on a long drive. Everything was perfect - the atmosphere was really warm and somehow both super calm and happy; the menu was awesome and the food was really delicioius, and the service was attentive and fast, but not rushed.“

“I visited this restaurant last night and I was NOT prepared for how phenomenal the food would be!! I highly recommend the braised short ribs, charcuterie board, and the hazelnut cheesecake. Atmosphere was cozy, service was impeccable. Will definitely be returning and recommending to all my friends and family!“

“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!“

“We went to one of the newest restaurants in town last night. The food was excellent. We had the Market salad which was the best salad I ever remember eating. Subtle, interesting and flavorable blend of ingredients and dressing. We shared their pork chop dish and enjoyed how it was cooked - moist, tender and tasty. The mixed veggies - roasted potatoes, brussel sprouts, onions in a special sauce complemented the pork beautifully. Server was pleasant and attentive. The inside decor/makeover is very attractive. We will definitely be going back.“

“We have been here a few times already for their holiday buffets. The food is scrumptious. Its hot, fresh and flavorful. The waitstaff is very friendly and helpful. It's decor is lovely and it's very clean and neat. I will be trying the regular Sunday Brunch buffet as soon as it fits in my schedule and I can't wait. If you're going to try a holiday buffet, get reservations early because they are very popular. Please tey them you won't be disappointed.“

“Haven't been here in a long time. Happened to be in area and just had to go. Place is a staple in CT. Went with a double steamed chesse burger LTM ONION & spicy mustard to get my fix. Didn't disappoint either did the cute lady keeping them coming out fast to get you out quick on a work day. I'll be back but just going single chesse burger.“

“My friend and I had such a nice night out here! Totally loved the vibe, and the menu had so many interesting choices. We loved everything that we tried! Highlights included the queso for 2, meatballs, cauliflower satay, and fig melt. I haven’t seen anything like the Frenchman’s burger before! Such a cool idea and perfect for French onion soup lovers. Every menu item was unique in some way, and they had a great list of seasonal cocktails. Since I don’t drink, the bartender was so nice and made a special mocktail with cranberry and rosemary! The staff was so friendly, and everything was delicious. I’ll definitely be visiting again!“

“I'm officially a big fan of Artisan and Chef Michael. Chef Michael catered a film we filmed in West Hartford and did a great job, so I thought it would be nice to take my wife to Artisan for our anniversary. We were not disappointed. The service and presentation was amazing and the specials were delicious. We will definitely return. Artisan has just made my top 5 list for fine dining in CT. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.“

“Went in on a Wednesday for a business meeting with 3 partners, we sat at the bar to have a drink, the bartender Emma was a delight. She was friendly with such a warm personality. There was a young man filling the cooler with bottles of beer who joined the conversation, we stayed longer than expected and I will be back with my wife. Excellent customer service good beer and great burgersKid-friendliness: More of a bar“

“Went on a Friday night, and the bar area was pretty packed, which was a good sign. Service was a little slow; it seemed like they were short staffed. We waited a few minutes before a hostess showed up to greet us. Once we sat down, it took another 10 minutes or so for a waiter to come to our table. Again, they did seem understaffed, and the place was pretty busy. Food: Cesar salad 7/10 - enough dressing, croutons Cup of New England Clam Chowder 4/10 This was super salty. Smoked honey chipotle wings 10/10 - You could taste the smokiness, The flavor was delicious, and the wings were cooked to perfection Blackened ribeye w/green beans & twice baked potato 8.5/10 - The flavor on the ribeye was amazing! The green beans, although not seasoned, had a smokey flavor, and the twice baked potato was yummy. Steak tips Risotto 9/10 This was absolutely scrumptious! There are plenty of tender steak tips, creamy risotto with lots of flavor. We will definitely be back!“

“Great experience! Food Service Atmosphere Allergy accommodations Delicious & Fun Waitress bent over backward to accommodate us, even when my Son had stepped away & his food came out, they asked if they could put his plate under the warmer! They are diligent & accommodating regarding food allergies & offer all kinds of gluten free, nut free & seafood free entrees (free from cross contamination is usually our big concern) Even their delicious bakery is strict regarding allergens. My son is pumped that he can have numerous selections without fear of cross contamination.“
