New American Restaurants near South Windsor, CT

“Went here for lunch with my sister! I couldn’t believe how packed they were on a Monday! No wonder- the food and drink were ON POINT! Our waiter was very attentive and informative on wine. We shared the spinach and artichoke dip- delicious! I had the harvest vegetable bowl and added steak. The flavors mixed so well creating a palette of fresh, and my steak was cooked perfectly! My sister got the burger and a Cesar salad. The dressing was really fresh and lemony! The burger was delish as well! I will definitely be back! All the food I watched going by looked like 10 stars!“

“This review is a part of my quest of visiting all CT breweries. Around 2019 I came to Connecticut Valley Brewing Company and bought one of each beers they had. It ended up being about 4 dozens of delicious beer. So I planned this visit to the taproom only as a formality. However, the overall experience was a bit worse.

The place is big - it has a huge indoor space with multiple seating options, including couches. No separation, just one big room. Plus there is a big patio for warmer months. The went for a plane theme and decorated the room with it. It is a bit noisy inside when there are many people, but still manageable. The brewery has an excellent selection of beers of various styles. Since I tried every beer they had over the years of going to beer festivals where CTVBC is always present, I can say that their beers are amazing. Every style they produce is delicious. From the latest visits I would recommend Spiked Smoothie Strawberry Lemonade (Fruit Beer) and Camper's Maple Stout, as they just boast rich taste. You can also order beer flights, although the options are limited to 12 taps only.

There is a food served via a separate business which coexists in the same building - Birdhouse Coffee Shop. And this was a downer. I will leave a separate review for this business, as blaming the brewery for the quality of food is unfair. But this coexistence means, that you are now limited in food options and cannot bring your own or order from a food truck. So you're stuck with a very mediocre food and slow service.

Other problems I experienced were:
- Messing up my order. One bartender asked for beer numbers from the menu, while the other one asked for the names. The latter one messed up my position.
- By the end of Monday, which is not too busy of a day, restrooms lacked the paper towels.

Overall, the beers are great. The theme of the taproom is awesome. The service might have been better.“

“Had dinner at Gather 55 last night and it was the most pleasant dining experience and best food I’ve had in months! Crystal’s service was excellent! She is a master at her craft! Not only was the experience worth every penny, the mission and purpose of Gather 55 is wonderful! I wish we had one in TN!“

Came back and he remembered my order precisely… right down to the exact Martini!!! This guy is the real deal and the food is stellar! Props to Rob for his amazing customer service and Roberto’s for their scrumptious food.“

Arancini( my husband makes a really good one so we were hesitant to try it but were pleasantly surprised) , bacon wrapped stuffed chix breast and jambalaya. Finished up with a slice of cake. 5 stars! Well done JRego’s“

“We checked in for a funeral for a couple of days. Tried to pay for an upgrade. They said the floors higher then 12 were closed. It was fine. 12th floor was perfect. Our first room AC was broken and the Manager moved us a couple of doors down right away. So so sweet. It was cool in no time. Sonya at the front desk was very nice. The parking when we arrived was very confusing. We called when we arrived to figure out where to go. Take a right on church in the public garage. Then there is a door straight into the hotel lobby. No valet yet. They have plenty of snack and lite bite options at the front desk for purchase. Their restaurants are still not open. This was not an inconvenience at all. Completely understand. The hotel is a tad bit dated. But I would 100% stay here again. Easy to get to restaurants and within walking distance or an Uber ride. We didn’t use the gym, pool or business center. The room was really clean when we arrived too. Which is great. Thanks Hilton.“

“Excellent food & Service!“

“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❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Always delicious- we often order takeout and the order is always accurate, hearty portions and tasty! We love the pasta dishes, apps, burgers and seafood, great kids meals too!“

“the chicken sandwich was pretty good. the vread was fresh it was seasoned well. but they must and I mean must leave making collard greens alone. it's cool, it's not for everyone. They had no seasoning and whoever made them cut none if tge "veins" stems out“

“Just had lunch here to celebrate a birthday. Good food, good prices, good waitstaff.“

“Decent little place, i had the 5pc boneless honey bbq wings and they were good, they were pieces of the tenderloin so they are pretty large and they weren’t breaded very heavy(a definite plus for me) just lightly breaded enough to hold the sauce, they were cooked all the way but not over cooked, they were tender and juicy. Staff was friendly and service was pretty quick, from order to table in about 5-7 min. and that was around 17:45. The table I sat at was clean an comfortable as I had eaten it there, they had tv mounted on the wall to watch while waiting for my order. The price was also reasonable. I will visit them again.“

“Great food… great specials“

“I used to love this place!!! Haven't been in quite some time and after my experience I will not come back ever!!! There were 3 of us. 2 of us sat down at the bar first. The bald white guy nor the female working greeted us!!! In fact he just gave us an ugly stare, no greeting whatsoever!!! He then proceeded to throw 2 menus on the bar in front of us. When I asked for a 3rd menu, he pointed at one of the menus he had already laid down!!! I said there's 3 of us!!! He brought a third menu still not a word from him or the female bartender who kept walking by as welll. We sat for a few minutes, they both continued to act as if we weren't sitting there. Still no greeting.....be right with you....can I get you some drinks.....water anything. Finally, after about 15 minutes of sitting and continually being walked by and ignored, we walked out!!! At that point I didn't want this guy to serve me an ice cube!!! It took every thing in me not to let him have it. As a customer service supervisor.....the last thing I am going to tolerate is HORRIBLE SERVICE from anyone!!! I was totally disgusted with the service we received!!! Oh wait....we never got any service....just a bunch of frowns and ugly stares!!! FYI....I DID NOT TAP RECOMMEND!!!“
