“Our reunion planning committee has been coming to Lakeside many times to plan for our reunion. The outside atmosphere has been perfect! Dardan was an excellent waiter and a lot of fun. His service was excellent and he was extremely polite. The food came out very quickly, too. We will definitely come back for food, drinks and fun.“

“Came in last minute this past Saturday with a party of 9 (4 adults and 5 children under 11) as grandson had a baseball game nearby. Was my first time. Food choices were very good and kids menu also had lots of offerings and their meals also included ice cream. I can’t say enough about our waiter, Matt. He was just the perfect server for our party, as he had children himself and totally understood how challenging it could be eating out with kids. He put the kids orders in right away. He knew just want to stop by and check on us. He is an asset to your restaurant and you’re very lucky to have him. We will definitely be back. Was a very positive experience.“

“Tenth Hole Tavern is the best spot for casual dining/takeout this side of Glastonbury. Their food is excellent and the staff really knows how to show the customers a good time. Kendall and Kelly are the nicest and are very accommodating. Not to mention the full bar, expansive beer selection, and wide variety on the menu. Some of my personal favorites include the chicken tenders (with their house made buffalo sauce), the buttermilk chicken sandwich, and the oven roasted turkey wrap. Don’t sleep on the brick oven pizza either. Tenth Hole Tavern has earned a special place in my heart❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I just went to Country Kitchen and bought 2 chili cheese hot dogs for my co-worker and myself, it was "hot dog" day after all :-) Our office staff has gone there many times and loves the food. The mom and her son, Dave are so sweet! Nice to see a family business. Not only do you get GREAT food, but great service with a smile! Can't ask for more......Thanks for being right down the street from us!!“

“I was a little taken back at first but the setup just adds to the atmosphere of this place. The people were fast, attentive and the meatball calzone was soooo good. Huge calzone! I ate half for lunch and the other half for dinner. It tastes like it was made fresh as well as the pizza sauce. Delicious!“

“Great food and very friendly staff. A real classic Northeastern diner, with all the right looks inside and outside. Highly recommend this place!“

“Cannot say enough good things about The Hollow. Whether you are a golfer or not the restaurant should be added to your regular rotation. The food is top notch, everything on the menu is fantastic. My favorites are the loaded potato chips and the Brit burger. The staff is friendly, the drinks are perfect and everything is reasonably priced (especially here in 2022). Did i mention the view from the patio is beautiful? This restaurant is a must taste!“

“First time here. Service was excellent but food was mediocre. Burger was ok. Fries were not fresh. You could tell they were frozen. Pickles were really good.“

“Red Rock Tavern is the hidden gem of Hartford—warm energy, great people, and a vibe that always hits. If you’re stepping out on a Saturday, the 90s Karaoke Sip & Paint is the move. Nostalgia, creativity, and good music in one room… it’s the perfect way to elevate your weekend.“

“I’ve been here a few times now for drinks and snacks and everything has been perfect. I’ve only come by myself and between the warm, welcome from the staff and the relaxing ambiance I always feel so comfortable. I can’t wait to bring some girlfriends or my husband for a date night, great spot for any occasion.“

“GREAT FOOD, FAST SERVICE!“

“Great way to start your day. Great food, and Andrea is soooo awesome“

“My favorite spot to hang out. Been around a long time, very consistent.“

“Five stars all around. Great, friendly staff. Tasty dishes with an artistic atmosphere!“

“This is my first time at the place, and I'm writing a review five minutes after sitting down to eat my food. First of all, everyone who works here is awesome. Special shout out to chef Foster, I think that's his name. He served up a great meal and entertained with his great personality.“

“Visiting my home state of Connecticut led me to stop in at Shady Glen’s for a bite to eat before going up to Storrs to watch the Women’s Basketball Champions take on Villanova. Emma was a 💎 gem. Her hospitality was warm and she made me feel like it hadn’t been 20 years since I last visited.
For anyone who hasn’t stopped in a while, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Went for my first time and holy hell, these wings are great! Got the smoked ones with garlic sweet chili and honey chipotle flavors, and both were amazing! The texture is really good, and while they’re a little on the smaller side, i just wanted more. The philly rolls were also pretty good, and the drinks were solid and reasonably priced. Gonna be introducing more people to this place for sure.“

“love coming here for dinner and drinks with my friends. came tonight for family dinner and as always everything was amazing. our server Taylor was exceptional and gave great recommendations and helping with substitutions. great service! 10/10 one of our favorite spots in west hartford center“

“My husband Jeff and I(Terry) had the best Valentine's Dayy!! Your wings, your service, Food is amazing. Our standards are very high and appreciate all you do for our community!!! Happy Valentine's Day From the Vagell's!! ❤️“

“Wings were the BEST we ever had! Caesar salad w/chicken was outstanding! Stopped by randomly for lunch. So happy we did.“

“Best latkes that I’ve ever had!“

“The food Is pretty good. The service isn't bad. It's just a bit unorganized and quite slow. They only accept cash, but they do have a ATM area. You can differently have a conversation and talk.It's in a church cafeteria. I would encourage. Trying to at least once. The turkey wings are my favorite from this location.“

“We booked The Tavern for our October 2021 wedding right before the pandemic hit. Throughout the entire planning process and hundreds of questions, Jasmine was always readily available via email or text up until wedding day (even when we became date twins). Everything came out beautiful, the set up for dinner and our ceremony was perfect! The grounds were perfect for our pictures. Everyone loved the appetizers during cocktail hour and our cake was delicious. We had a few mishaps during our dinner, but we didn’t let that fog the happiest day of our lives. Jasmine also quickly took action and made things right. They will likely be my go-to for other events because ours was greatly executed with the help of my in-laws, Lynne (sorry if I spelled it wrong), and Jasmine. My favorite thing about having them as our venue was that we didn’t have to clean up anything or set up anything. Lynne made sure things were arranged accordingly and brought my vision to life. Even when we had to create a back up plan because of weather Jasmine and Lynne helped to calm my nerves about the last minute changes.“

“1st time here and everything is going very well. Room is spacious and comfortable. Front desk staff very friendly.“

“Fast and friendly service. Able to change menu items to suit individual taste“

“Had our 37 grammar school reunion Our waitress Mary Lu was amazing We had a set up in the back which was perfect as we were a fun 🤩 group The food was great and the cocktails 🍹 amazing (recommend Strawberry coconut martini)“

“Treated my sister to an excellent dinner on Easter weekend. Loved the with artic char with chef’s specialty , ginger rice and a delicious pablano sauce!“

“We stopped here for a late breakfast on the way home from a vacation in the Berkshires. We had a great breakfast and our server was very good. We both had egg breakfasts, but I also had pancakes and bacon. The pancakes were very good and had a little bit of crisp to them which I enjoyed. The maple syrup was provided in a little bottle which we thought was a nice touch. Then we took advantage of their $6 take home meals if you have bought an entree, so we got their Meatloaf Dinner and their Grilled Chicken Dinner to bring home for our dinner. This was a pretty good deal making their regular eat-in menu even better.“

“Cute staff. Epic eats. Best food on campus hands down.“

“The service is always incredible. The menu is quite limited—which is fine for someplace like this—but I wish the options were simpler. All the breakfast food has fruit mixed in, and while it's cromulent fruit, perhaps I'd like it on the side or not at all.“

“Loved the baked stuffed shrimp!!! Absolutely delicious dinner!!“

“My family and I went here for my son’s 8th birthday and the food and service was incredible. The atmosphere gives cozy and welcoming. The customer service is worth every dollar I spent.“

“We are a group of eight Women golfers that travel each week to play a different course in CT. Get the usual eye rolling looks from the men from parking lot, pro shop to the course and finally the bar. Some men are polite but they are few. Quarry Ridge staff went over the top to make our Tuesday golf experience relaxing and fun. Course was in good shape. Kevin in the pro shop attentive asking questions after our round to see if we had a good time and what were our thoughts about women’s golf. Poor Kevin got a earful I’m afraid. He was such a good sport! The chef came out and checked on our lunch. Talked about his menu. Very enthusiastic. It was a perfect day Tuesday Blue sky, cool temps, Great Golf and being with friends. Thank you to all the staff at Quarry Ridge. You will see us all again. Keep up the great work of making women feel valued in the sport of golf. Kindest Regards, Kathy Mroczka“
