“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.”

“The beer is delicious and the food is worth a trip by itself. We had a large group and got a bunch of different pizzas. They were all home runs. Same goes for the wings. Been dreaming of the pizza since I left!”

“Celebrated our daughter’s birthday on Friday and everything was AMAZING! Our server, Jaden, was fabulous and our food was incredible!! Definitely a great experience!”

“Boqueria in West Hartford is an absolute gem. My wife and I came in ready to explore tapas, and every single dish we tried was seriously delicious. The flavors were bold, fresh, and perfectly balanced, but the standout for me was the steak and the chorizo toast, both were incredible and honestly worth the visit all on their own.

What really made the experience next-level, though, was the service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel taken care of from start to finish. Even when there was a slight delay, the manager stepped in immediately and made sure everything stayed smooth, professional, and high-quality. That kind of leadership and care makes a huge difference.

Boqueria isn’t just a “special occasion” place, it’s the kind of restaurant you come back to because you want to try something new, share great food, and leave happy. We’ll absolutely be returning, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing tapas experience in West Hartford.”

“Coracora had exceptional food, ambiance and service. The staff was friendly, Jean Franco our server was great, knowledgeable with menu and helpful with recommendations. Highly recommend Coracora for amazing food and a good restaurant experience.”

“Tasty food, but the service is lacking. My food came out wrong (the sever admitted it was wrong) and then she didn't key in a new entree so I had to wait 20 minutes before a new entree arrived. All of the other guests at my table were finishing up their food and they cleared everyone's plate as they put my fresh plate down. I felt very rushed. The service really took away from the dining experience.”

“Best Chinese food in CT! Highly recommended if you’re looking for authentic Chinese food. This is not your typical American-Chinese restaurant, but it’s good as it’s meant to be cooked in China. Yum!”

“Last night was my first time at Portobello Restaurant and as a local HS Culinary teacher, this spot is INCREDIBLE. Although small, the atmosphere is cozy with top tier hospitality. And the food? SO flavorful and FRESH! My Chicken Alla Casa was everything I wanted and more! Looking forward to going back soon!”

“We had our wedding at The Pond House Café and it was absolutely beautiful. The ceremony and reception were everything we hoped for. Our guests loved the food, the décor, the music, and the warm, welcoming vibe. The staff went above and beyond—Charlene, Diana, and Alissa took care of us with so much care and professionalism. Everything ran smoothly and felt special. We’re so thankful for the whole team. This will definitely be our go-to spot for future celebrations! 1000000/10 experience!!”

The limeade was soooo good. I can't wait to go back!”

“100% recommend if you have not eaten this type of food before please step out of your comfort zone everything was delicious I came here today for my birthday dinner before a concert with my two friends and was not disappointed! I will definitely be back”

“I went in this morning for a pound of medium roast decaf and a quick espresso. They have an excellent interior that was nice to relax in for a few minutes before rushing off. 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!”

“Impressed with the pizza last night which had the freshest toppings and pizza sauce. Crust perfectly cooked.”

“The owner and their entire staff are amazing. What is even more special is the taste and crunch from the fresh pizza.”

“The shops and bakery cases are beautiful. The desserts are stunning and always taste amazing. I ordered a pre-designed cake and macarons for my son's birthday everyone loved the cake and said the macarons were the best they've ever had. It's also a great place to stop in for a treat”

I called the restaurant a day before to let them know I had a big party of 20 and might I get a reservation? They reserved the “stage” area with two large round tables for us! They were so patient, friendly, and helpful. Our server was fantastic and the food was really well prepared and yummy! Everyone enjoyed themselves, especially the birthday boy! 🎉 We’ll be back!”

“Five star coffee, food, service, prices, five star overall. Plenty of seating, and parking!”

“Always a fun time and good meal 👍🏼 Parris is the best!! 😉”

“I’ve been a customer since she was in park road. Amazing bread ❤️ freshly made daily. Empanadas and churros are to die for. They always have a great variety of baked goods.”

“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”

“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……”

“Was looking for chinese food on Thanksgiving when I got off my shift around 8pm and nothing was open that I could find but these guys. Been ordering ever since. Ditched my other go to chinese restaurant, ill travel the extra 10 minutes for these guys”

“my boys & I went to SONG this past Saturday. We ate everything we ordered. The food was super tasty. The depth of flavors was absolutely delicious! We tried the pancake roll which had beef & vegetables inside. OH MY GOODNESS! I could literally eat that every day for the rest of my life! I'm totally serious. I'm not sure why they have only a 4.0, which is a good score. Honestly? SONG is deserving of at least a 4.6 but I'm giving them a 4.8. our waiter was a sweetie, polite & attentive. it wasn't crowded, actually none of the restaurants were super crowded. we were there around 630pm. so maybe it was a bit early. The atmosphere was welcoming & comfortable. This was my 2nd time there & I'll definitely be going back. 4.8! ❤️”

“Just checked out the new South Windsor location and the the experience did not disappoint. Great service, food was delicious and portions were HUGE. We had a specialty pizza, chicken piccata, salad, and house made fried mozzarella. All great. Only problem is we can’t move right now.”

“First time here. What a fantastic old school diner. Great vibe. Like stepping back in time. The waitress was friendly and the food was delicious! Definitely will be back.”

“I usually come here for my pizza up till today. I came for lunch w/my daughter. I thought it wo6be nice to dine it. Unfortunately, they overcooked our pizza. My daughter was so hungry so I ask if she could @ least have a lil slice till they maee another one? I couldn't belive they said no... My waitress, wasn't very nice @ all. Knowin we always come here.

“A good hang out spot!!! I highly recommend this place❤️❤️❤️”

“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.”

“Best pizza ever! And the nachos are the best! I would recommend them to anybody who's visiting this pizzeria for the first time saludos a todos que estan trabajando ahi hicieron un buen trabajo!”

“It wasn't busy until I was in line trying to decide what I wanted. I went with the whoopie donut. It was delicious! There was no confusion with My coffee request, which was awesome.I was there around 2 pm. There was a great crew of friendly workers.

Parking: It's in a strip mall next to other restaurants. I can see where it could be hard to find a parking space.”

“vietmanse sandwich yummy thank you”

“Tried this eatery for the first time and enjoyed it very much. Tasty food and comfortable ambience. One huge negative is the loud, raucous “music.” Detracts greatly from the experience.”

“Great pizza and staff! Go early, or expect to wait it so good!”

“Came in for gluten free breakfast, and the pancakes did not disappoint.”

“This place is iconic in its old school decor and wonderful food. You cannot create the wonderful ambiance of booths here. They actually know that eggs and breakfast potatoes can be prepared differently. The wait staff is excellent and knowledgeable. Go and enjoy their breakfast served all day. Also, the ice cream is great. Pumpkin Oreo was so good.”

“Great value: you can choose your ingredients, toppings and sauces and the portions are generous. Wide variety of ingredients and casual dining room should make this a pretty good bet for most everyone”

“Impressed with the pizza last night which had the freshest toppings and pizza sauce. Crust perfectly cooked.”

“I always enjoy coming here. There’s plenty of parking, which already puts me in a good mood before I even walk in. The service is usually warm and welcoming, and breakfast felt comforting and familiar in the best way. The omelet with spinach and mushrooms is always tasty and filling. The hot chocolate was superb, as always, and honestly one of my favorite things to order. The pancakes and waffles were just what you expect: soft, satisfying, and perfect for a relaxed breakfast. IHOP is usually great and this location is good.”

“I always really like it here and the cocktails are really good. Did not realize how many people you could fit in the place (went for new years) but was still a good time. Good place to go grab a drink or a snack with friends.”

“UPDATE; Was disabled friendly. However, I went in again today. An employee bumped right into me (I cannot move fast to get out of the way). No, sorry. No, excuse me. Nothing. I am in a lot of pain and had lost my appetite (and 10 dollars from what I spent on the food) and couldn't eat. It went into the trash. Seriously disappointed.

Furthermore: Food prices went up and quality had went down.”

“I fly to West Hartford every weekend just to eat at Kitchen Plate. I live in North Carolina, and yet somehow this has become the most logical decision of my life—because once you’ve eaten here, nothing else compares.

Kitchen Plate isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience. From the moment the food hits the table, you can tell everything is made with care, intention, and an unreal level of skill. The flavors are bold but balanced, comforting but exciting, and consistently unforgettable. No matter what I order, it somehow ends up being the best thing I’ve eaten all week—every week.

What truly sets this place apart, though, is the chef. He is, without exaggeration, my favorite chef ever. Watching someone put this much passion and pride into their craft is rare, and you can taste it in every single bite. The food feels personal, like it was made specifically for you. There’s creativity, heart, and serious talent behind every dish, and it shows.

I’ve eaten at plenty of great spots, but Kitchen Plate is the only place that has made me plan flights around a meal. That’s not a joke or an exaggeration—it’s just that good. If you live nearby, don’t take it for granted. And if you don’t? Trust me, it’s worth the trip.”

“The food was awesome 🤩 1 thing I want to say first is that I’m so happy that they have a Jamaican/ West Indian Restaurant here in West Hartford I no longer have to drive to Hartford to buy Jamaican food. I ordered a large oxtail with rice & peas and veggies. The meat was tender and juicy with lots of gravy on top and some on the rice, the rice was moist not hard at all and the veggies were steamed not soggy with a bit light crunch on them. The Restaurant is family oriented you can definitely eat in and have lunch or dinner with your family and friends and enjoy a great meal. I will definitely be back and also recommend this place to everyone at work.”

“out of all the cookie spots in connecticut i have to say this is by far the best i’ve tried. their cookies taste exactly as they’re named, they’re super fresh, and very thick! absolutely love.”

“THIS FOOD WAS 🔥🔥🔥my fiancé and I took a 1 hour and 45 min drive from RI . We will definitely be coming again unless you open up in RI pleaseeeeee lol! We ordered food for two days and every single thing we got was amazing !!!! The cashier was very nice and personable . Can you put some corn bread on that menu ? I know that will be 🔥🔥 . Best of luck with your restaurant . It is a gem for sure . Will be back soon.”

“Really delicious - I do a build my own salad. I like a lot of dressing but the light is more than enough. The staff and management are so patient and kind. It’s become a go to for lunches!”

“My town lost our Little Caesars several years ago so when I found myself close this Little Caesars I had to swing in and get a few of my favorite Pretzel Pizzas. They did not disappoint, just as great as I remember, the staff were awesome as well, in and out with 4 Pretzel Pizzas in like 15min. I live about 40min away and would happily drive back here for another round of Pretzel Pizzas.”

“Had a Great Experience! I really needed a pick-me-u pper. Thought I wanted to wait for the rain to end along with thunder. This Location is the Best! First the Staff and the cleanlinessAs they were about to close I not only needed a coffee but I then
Needed to use their bathroom as I have a medical condition.
Too bad their only open until 8.
I appreciated them Very much!!
Thank You for making my Weekend Happy. My whole day was Rush, Rush as I am a cashier in a grocery store. Now I can stay Awake a little.”

“I had an outstanding experience at Teriyaki Madness in West Hartford thanks to the amazing night staff on 5/29/25! Kirsten who goes by Kris, took my order, was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. She made great recommendations and ensured I felt comfortable with my choices because my first option was sold out for the day! Brendon was equally impressive! His charm and respectfulness shone through as he assisted Kirsten by handing out the orders and keeping the dining area clean. I arrived just before closing, but both Kirsten and Brendon maintained their enthusiasm and were eager to serve me. Their teamwork made the experience even more enjoyable, and I truly appreciated their dedication to excellent customer service. I couldn’t have asked for a better dinner pit stop after a long day of work! Thank you, Kirsten and Brendon, for making my first visit memorable!”

“While there was an issue with my catering order being ready when requested, it was quickly resolved by the team working on Black Friday. The sandwiches were all very good and enjoyed by the group I ordered for. My only suggestion is offer more vegetarian options.”
