New American Restaurants near Rocky Hill, CT

“First time here, but I was very impressed by the food and service. I'm trying to eat a more plant-based diet and the veggie quesadilla was not only delicious, but extremely satisfying and filling. One of a few places that actually have blue cheese stuffed olives for martinis! Will definitely stay here again!“

“We had a party of 3 so tried everything on the menu and we loved it. The roasted squash was probably the star of the show. All of the entrees were nicely sized portions and well executed. The butterscotch pudding was great. Service was also top notch. Angie took great care of us and I would request her great service next time we come in. This concept is truly special and I hope it flourishes.“

“Stopped here yesterday. So glad I did. After reading the reviews was a must . Was greeted with kindness and a smile . Sat . Waitress was friendly! Great for families. Wide selection menu items. Owners greeting young families with young children with donuts . You can feel that they love what they do. Very passionate is nice to see. I ordered the Philly omelette with coffee. In minutes Served hot. Very good . I will be back.“

“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“

“Service was excellent. Apps, go with the steak... wings were good too but the spice they used wasn't for me. Steak hangover highly recommended. Side salad wasn't great and I'll pick something different time. Baha tacos... gonna skip those next time too. Jsu too much fried.“

“Best steak I've had anywhere in CT. Took it to-go and it was still perfect when I got it home. Maple cream cheese Flan with scorched marshmallows was uniquely flavorful. Fast bar service while waiting with good local choices. Can't wait to come back with family.“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“This place is a hidden gem. Food is always good. Service is fantastic -- K, K and A are always awesome!This is a great spot in the summer when the deck is open to have a drink or appetizer outside.I also have to give ten stars to their Winter Brunch menu -- we went here just the past weekend and it was hands down the BEST brunch we've ever had in town or when traveling. Everything was excellent -- highly recommend the frenched toast. My husband said the Bacon Egg and Cheese he had was the best ever. They are doing it all right!“

“Best Irish Pub Restaurant in the state. Food is outstanding, atmosphere is green, staff is wonderful. Art and MaryEllen do a stand up job, from appetizers, chilli, wings, onion soup. To the entres, sirloin rib tips, to deserts bread pudding. Place is amazing.Parking: No issues“

“Saw them on social media and decided to try it! I was not disappointed with my experience!! First off the service was immediate, the server was genuine and overall helpful as we navigated between having a burger or chilli-cheese hot dog! The chilli-cheese dog was delicious!! The chilli was homemade and not overpowering as it also came with American cheese and raw onions on a toasted buttered bun - Damn!!!! The food brought me back to my childhood when fast food was homemade!!! I guess I'll try the bacon cheese burger next and I'll also be back for another dog!“

“Food was great! We went for NYE. It was fun and the food was surprisingly very good, I say surprisingly, due to the fact that they had run out of the steak frites . I was able to add the steak to my Cesar salad and it was so yummy! Also the calamari was excellent!Crème brûlée is a MUST.“

“First time here and my husband and I TRULY enjoyed it crystal was AMAZING, and patient and helpful, along with everyone else! Bill the owner was sweet, kind, and humble. We will definitely be coming back for another date night! If I could I'd give 10 stars! The food was also very good! Everyone checked in and offered to help very polite and kind. It's just a happy atmosphere.“

“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!“

“Beautiful music venue, great location. The sound was great, the lights and everything were on point, the music sounded wonderful. Definitely would come to see more shows here. And bonus points for having a bag of chips I could grab to munch on“

“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!“

“Lovely lovely experience! Great food and great service! Would recommend to anyone who wants to try some of the best food. I went with my girlfriend and we enjoyed it so much the whole place is very aesthetic and the food is too. Even the menu looks good. There is an option for everyone whether you are picky or you like all food. So if you're in the area do make sure you come by and try this lovely food“

“I was at Kbarr 2 Friday's ago June 16th to be exact I had a great time. I just missed the happy hour ?‍? lol but still had a great time food was amazing Maddie the bartender was great made the best rum punch I've ever had it was better than the rum punch I was drinking in Jamaica...the food was great as well as the atmosphere I definitely can't wait to go back to see my Girl Maddie she's my new favorite bartender. Oh yeah this time I will make happy hour??? see ya'll soon!!!“

“I really want to give 5 stars, but I can't.... I have been seeing Ted's on Hamburger TV specials & shows for years now... Finally made the drive from Campton New Hamshire on our way home to New York, and it was just alright... It's more cheese then burger, and it comes on a roll (like kaiser)... The fries were good... All in all i'm glad we stopped after seeing it on TV all these years... But not even in my top 5... Service was great, & the atmosphere was like a small diner spot. Nothing fancy which keeps the charm... Not bad, but not what we were expecting...“

“Hosted a birthday dinner for the husband last night and everything was absolutely exceptional. From the space, to the service, to the quality of the food, everything was absolutely top notch. Shout out to our server Pam who handled 20+ of us without missing a single beat. Worth of even more than 5 stars!“

“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“

“We arrived a bit early for our reservation (and before our guest), but the hostess said we could be seated whenever we were ready. The space is relaxed yet well-appointed, and the tables are nicely spaced in the main dining room. Our server was very attentive and friendly. While we sipped wine and perused the menu, we enjoyed some delightful warm hearty bread. My husband and I both had the hanger steak (medium rare) and fries which was was perfectly done in a rich brown sauce that was "lick the plate clean" good! Our guest was very pleased with her swordfish. For dessert, we opted for the chocolate creme brulee which was fabulously delicious and a perfect end to a perfect meal!“

“Came into town from Florida visiting family and was recommended I try Sisters for breakfast. The ladies that were working were very sweet and patient. My food had so much flavor that I had to go back a second time. Both time my plate was filled to the edge. I definitely recommend and be prepared to eat.“

“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!“

“This is a great spot to meet friends but I do miss the couches on the patio where I used to sit and read in the summer. Their drinks menu is always updated. Got the Chocolate Pecan Martini and my friend got the Sweetheart Martini which has White Chocolate liqueur, Rumchata and Grenadine for the pink color. Both were delicious. My friend ordered the Pear Salad but substituted feta for the Gorgonzola and added chicken. I got the risotto special which came with poached salmon, which I exchanged for grilled salmon. The salmon was perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth. I usually bring part of my entree home but the risotto was so good and the right size, so I just finished it off! If you are debating what to order, definitely go for the short rib entree - the perfect comfort food over mashed potatoes! I love the cozy couches inside and the dark lighting which gives a very intimate feel. I would love to sit at the bar or the kitchen bar sometime, but have sat in the side dining room, the main dining room and patio at various times. All great spots, although the main dining area was a little chilly by the door one visit and the hostess kindly moved us to an interior table. The lighting in the newer dining area is brighter if that matters to you.“

“Went out for the first time this past Saturday and the place is in great shape. One of the landscapers, Fitz, was extremely friendly, and gave us some advice on the upcoming holes. The perfect level of difficulty for your average golfer, variation of hole layouts, and overall high quality course. Had a blast, and will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend!“
