“I always get greated with an aloha as soon as I walk through the door. The employees work very hard and keep the line moving even when it’s busy. The prices are the best out of any other poke restaurant in my area and the food always hits the spot after the gym. I wish they would partner with The edge to give member a discount :)”

“Had the best time and food! Our first time here and we sat at the bar. Drink special Simple Plan was tasty with a spicy finish so just right! We loved Tuna Tartare. Best tartare ever and we are not kidding. Poached Shrimp Tostada was good too. Spicy Caesar Salad delish to the last bite. We finished with Salted Caramel Crème Brûlée which was well balanced sweet and flavor tasty. We talked with others at the bar about their dishes and those got good reviews too. So we are looking forward to coming back.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“I Love Sushi is such a great spot for fresh and delicious sushi. The fish tasted really fresh and every platter was beautifully prepared and presented. I loved the warm atmosphere with the wooden sushi bar and traditional red lanterns. The chefs were friendly and the service was attentive throughout the meal. Definitely a place I would happily come back to for sushi.”
“When I asked at work where I should take my family for some authentic Pho, I was told to hit MECHA. we went today and it was superb! The staff were excellent and everything we got was top tier. The edamame, and mushroom dumplings were awesome appetizers and the Pho was awesome. I had the Pho King with the recommended greens and Thai chilis and it was the best lunch I've had in a long time. The limeade was soooo good. I can't wait to go back!”
“went for brunch and had Bobby as waiter. we didn't know what to get so he suggested several options and they were all out of this world. great place. different than going for a normal meal. very tasty and great atmosphere.”

“I’m a frequent guest at the Chopt in Bishop’s Corner, and it has become one of those places that is genuinely worth the drive from Southington. I brought my mom there recently for her first visit, and she was more than satisfied too.
The restaurant is consistently clean, including the restrooms, and I have never had trouble finding a place to sit. The staff is always friendly and courteous, and they keep the line moving without making the whole thing feel rushed. Online orders have also been ready promptly in my experience. If you are new to Chopt or not quite sure how the ordering process works, the staff is happy to walk you through it or explain the different options without making you feel like you should already know what you’re doing.
The salads are huge, the food is consistently good, and it is a healthier option than most places in the fast-casual category. This is coming from someone who never really understood the point of salad, let alone salad as an actual meal. Chopt changed that for me.
The drink selection is another plus. Instead of the usual wall of sodas, they offer iced teas, lemonades, and other drinks that tend to be on the lighter side, often with some less-common flavors. My personal favorite is the Strawberry Squeeze Chiller.
My mom enjoyed her first visit. Chopt has become a regular stop for me because the food is dependable, the portions are substantial, the place is clean, and the service is consistently pleasant and efficient.”
“I absolutely LOVE Crumbl Cookie! 🍪 Every time I go, I already know I’m going to leave happy. My favorites are definitely the Tres Leches, Dubai Cookie, and Lucky Charm Cookie. The Tres Leches is so sweet and creamy, ANYTHING dubai is sooo good, and the Lucky Charm Cookie is perfect if you love something sweet and fun. I honestly haven’t had a cookie from Crumbl that I didn’t like! 💕🍪”
“Bagels used to be made locally at Goldberg’s, always very fresh. Picked up some today and they were not the same— could tell because they were refrigerated, slightly stale, and very different recipes.
Have had tremendous breakfast food here for 5+ years, but wanted to confirm with the new owners— are bagels still sourced from Goldberg’s? If not, where from?”
“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!”
“Let me tell y’all right now. I’d been seeing this bundt cake shop for MONTHS and had yet to go try some. Well, today I had my chance and I grabbed it. They had their gluten free flavors and I had to get into that lemon raspberry first. Absolutely delicious, worth the money in my opinion. Will DEFINITELY be buying from y’all again. 😍”
“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!”

“I regularly go to Rita’s, but I was genuinely impressed by the excellent service provided by Johnny and Mila today. They were both so kind, welcoming, and especially patient. They let me try different flavors and made sure I was happy with what I ended up getting. I was having a pretty bad day, and their kindness honestly made it so much better. It was such a simple interaction, but they really went above and beyond to make my experience a pleasant one. Rita’s is great, and employees like Johnny and Mila are a big part of what makes it such a nice place to go. I’ll definitely be back!”
“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!”
“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”
“We’ve only ordered takeout from here, so I can’t speak on dining in. The food is reasonably priced and so tasty. We always get the shrimp lo (perfect every time), general tso’s chicken (crispy), and crab rangoon (just fine). It’s classic American Chinese food and consistently well cooked. The General Tso’s chicken most recently had great spice, too, which we appreciated. Everything is a good portion size.”
“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.”

“OK, gather around it’s 2026 and I went to pick a mix no less than three times while visiting for a wedding for my buddy in 10 years this place stayed consistent, flavorful, and at a fair price you literally can’t beat it and it’s healthy too. The groom of the wedding absolutely loved it. I told him he should cater them for his wedding. You be crazy not to go to p&m. It’s so freaking good. Did I mention I went three times when I was in town I don’t even live here and I went that many times ITS THAT GOOD
Og review circa 2016: It's amazing! It's similar to chipotle/subway style where you pick what ingredients you want and then they stir fry it. It's basically chicken, vegetables, rice/noodles and the optional fried egg on top.”
“Found this place and man, launched my wife and I back to the mid eighties memories! Old wood paneling and paintings, suspended ceiling, dumdum lollipops at the counter and working juke boxes at each booth!!! Are you serious?! This place has amazing food, staff that feels more like family and an atmosphere that is sure to bring back some great memories. Super clean, super awesome!”
“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! ❤️”
“This place has delicious food at a great price, we had the jerk chicken, which was huge and tender, and the jerk seasoning had the right kick if you like spices you will love it, staff was friendly unhelpful, and explaining the options - I will be back for sure”

“Amazing food great service very reasonable and the jalapeño tequila avocado margarita is the best!”
“Had a bun Bo hue and the broth and noodles were good. The meat was meh because they used beef tendon which I was not used to compared to other bun bo hue places. Thai tea was good, service was also ok. Went on a weekend night for dinner. They weren’t busy.”

“I had such a wonderful experience at Paris Baguette! The store is beautiful, clean, and has such a nice atmosphere. The pastries and desserts are fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Hadia was especially kind, friendly, and helpful. She was very welcoming and made sure I had a great experience. Her positive attitude and excellent customer service really stood out. I would definitely recommend this Paris Baguette! 💕🥐🍰”
“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!”
“The customer in front of me was INCREDIBLY rude, confrontational and swearing at the employee- who was doing their job perfectly. I was so impressed by the professionalism of the employees who handled the situation. Every time I come here my food is fantastic. The employees friendly and the place is clean. I recommend this spot to everyone!”
“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.”
“I waited almost 2 hours and was disappointed when my pizza arrived partially stuck to the box. It's a busy Friday night for a new business and things must be hectic. Mistakes happen, but of course not being able to eat half my pie is unacceptable.
The kitchen manager, Steven, handled the situation as well as I could have asked for. He admitted fault, offered to make it right on the spot, heard me out, and we reached a resolution.
The pizza is phenomenal. I'm happy to have them in the neighborhood and look forward to ordering again soon and often.”
“Great addition to West Hartford! The food is excellent, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is attentive without being overbearing. The menu has plenty of creative options, and everything we tried was delicious. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to!”
“No complaints, everytime im here, im greeted with warm welcomes and a friendly vibe. Bartenders try their best to get to you when its busy and the bouncers are very reasonable and make sure you're taken care of when things go wrong with other patrons. Come a bit earlier if you dont want to wait in line on the weekends. The owner is present and makes sure everyone is having a good time and to kick out any of the problematic people (it can happen). No comment on the food but the pizza is from another establishment in west hartford so its probably pretty good. 5/5, would recommend it to all my friends. Defintely one of the best bars in the hartford area.”
“Delicious, flavorful, exotic looking Mediterranean dishes and great drinks. Would love to visit again:)”
