“Gobi Mongolian Grill in Southington is an amazing experience for anyone who loves fresh, customizable meals! You get to pick out all your ingredients—meats, vegetables, noodles, rice, and more—then create your own custom sauce. Once your bowl is ready, you walk up to the massive grill where the staff take a number and cook your meal right in front of you. Watching the skilled cooks toss everything on the hot grill while you wait is part of the fun, and the staff are constantly rotating ingredients to ensure everything stays fresh and flavorful. It’s a perfect combination of interactive dining, great food, and attentive service—highly recommended!“

“Last week my family and i had dinner at Flair which is one of our favorite restaurants and Hector the owner told us his family bought Fratellis. We said we would come in this week snd try out the new restaurant. We had told Hector the we loved clams casino and he remembered and even though they were not on the menu he brought some to us from Flair. They were excellent. We also had the best chicken dish ever which was called chicken fratellis. It was very obvious that Hector and his family bent over backwards to ensure our experience was amazing and.......it was. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have a fabulous meal and feel that you are appreciated. Thank again“

“The only thing here is that they denied me a drink one time i walked in and i still had 10 mins before last call and the perseon saod we dont just serve anyone off the street at this time... I was so upset. I will never forget that. The owner must think he is better than the people who keep him in business if thats the way he treats us. Its us that keep him in business he should remind his bartenders that as well. Food is great but always wOut of wings..... Come on thats the go to food for the bar. But besides that the bartenders are nice and the bar is clean cheaper than Ledgends and some other bars.“

“El Sazón de Carmela offers exceptional Dominican cuisine. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking authentic Dominican dishes. It is my top choice for takeout, and it has never failed to impress.“

“It’s a cheap local dive lives up to what you would need from a watering hole. Inexpensive drinks, not pretentious, mainly plastic cups, good people. First time, walked in and had a small chat with a patron before the night was done. Plus, unlike some other aptly named Irish pubs, they do have Guinness *cough obrians*. Decent draft list too for a small local. Didn’t play, but seems like a good setup for darts too. I might not take a date or the wife for low key dinner and drinks, but after work or a friend for a cheap blow off steam evening? Absolutely.“

“Hands down best lunch I've ever had !! I celebrated my 60th birthday with my bff today ! I can't wait to go back... service: impeccable food: Outstanding cocktails: super fun and delicious !
