Mediterranean • $$
“Zaytoon Lebanese Restaurant in West Hartford with Ty. My first experience with Turkish coffee and it was superb. It's strong just like New Orleans coffee and Right up my alley. Our server was attentive, courteous, and efficient. He had a smile and a pleasant personality and was very helpful with the ordering. The food was hot and delicious. The lamb was a gift from the Greek gods. It was tender and seasoned and most flavorful with no gamey aftertaste. Everything you would want from a Mediterranean/Lebanese restaurant.”
Peruvian • $$

“We went here for my girlfriend birthday last night at 7PM and the food and service was great, but they did not promise to put a candle on her dessert.
When I made the reservation, I specifically said that the occasion was for her birthday and I also called a couple hours earlier on our reservation day to make a note to the server, but they failed to do so. I shouldn’t have to ask again when we were dining.
EDIT: The general manager sincerely apologized about our experience.”

“We stopped in here really quick on our way to the airport leaving town, and my only regret is that we didn't visit this place sooner. We probably would have eaten here every day. We all got lobster rolls, and not only were they affordable, they were fantastic. Im shocked it was as slow as it was (granted, we were there at like 5 pm - not quite dinner time) because it should be wall to wall packed. I can't wait to come back and try everything else on the menu.”

The staff member was also super friendly. Great neighborhood too. They were carrying a limited edition run of a anaerobic process light roast from Rwanda, so I bought a bag out of curiosity. This is currently the best coffee I have ever brewed. It tastes sweet and like apples! I am really glad that they were carrying this today!”

“Take-out food recommendation! Hot Basil Thai Food, 565 New Park Ave, West Hartford. Ordered three dishes at 2:15pm today for pick-up. Not only was the food OUTSTANDING, but the price SHOCKED me at how low it was. I guess the lunch menu prices is reduced. I will be doing this again, frequently. I've eaten there for dinner several times per year for years and never regretted it, but this blew me away, both the quality and price. Let's be sure to keep them in business with take-out orders!”

“This review is for the Danbury Location. I have been going there 5-6 days a week for past 5 +/- months. I had a routine. Order on the App. Coffee protein drink and either a wrap or salad. Always greeted with a smile and thank you when I walked in. The price was good for Always having consistant quality with the drink and food. Made the way I wanted it. Fresh, never wilted lettuce and ingredients. I knew what I was getting and always the same. I stopped going to other places around area because I was sick and tired of my 1/2hr lunch break eating garbage, never made the way I ordered it, or getting the wrong order in bag. Unfortunately, my job is over in the area and I don’t live anywhere near there. So I just wanted to say Thank You, we had a good run……”

“Ok y'all let me tell yall about the Soft Moist cakes. Every last one is delicious The Strawberry Celebration cake was tasty. I'm a big critic when it comes to Red Velvet because it's my favorite cake, this one was amazing from the soft cake to the cream cheese frosting that was light and melted in my mouth 🤤 with each bite. NOW the Chocolate Caramel Delux. This the one that will make all your sadness go away, that time of the month seem like it's nothing and will cure you chocolate craving for what ever reason.. order y'all a cake for yourselves Sienna Cakery”

“Keep in mind, this is French Vietnamese fusion. If you’re from the West Coast, the closest to this food is The Slanted Door in the San Francisco and Bay Area where it is 3x the price.
Never a bad meal. The Shaking Beef, Crepes, Imperial Rolls… can’t get enough. Been coming here since the late 80’s. Love the family too.”
