I almost forgot to mention the banana pudding is off the chain!.... stop wasting your money at these mediocre fast food joints go to Hot Pockets on Main Street in Hartford CT and get you some real food!“

“You want to talk about a hidden seafood GEM with a VIEW? Just come here. It gives off shoreline picnic table vibes overlooking the ct river just feet away. You can watch the boats go by and the oldest ferry in the United States! The food is slightly pricey but I promise you will get what you pay for in portions. Best lobster roll I have had in YEARS. Hot food was hot and cold food was cold. Everything was made to order. Service was quick and friendly. Does it get better than that?!“

“Great deal on oysters, it say u typically spend 30-50$ but thats not true for me as everything i get here (oysters, drinks, appetizers) is super well priced compared to max’s oyster bar or somewhere else.

Shoutout to Gopi the man! Real friendly nice bartender that hooks you up.“

She gave us a sampling of all their clam chowders and shrimp cocktail as we waited (not very long) for our whole belly clam dinner and scallop dinner. Perfect and the clams were the biggest anywhere including the coastline restaurants. Do not put off a visit…it won’t be your last.“

“I've been going to Mickey's for 28 years because they have the best fish and chips in all of CT, hands down. Nothing compares and I've been all over the state. I've even searched restaurants at the shoreline and still nothing comes close to the perfection you get at Mickey's!“

“We had an absolutely exceptional dining experience at The Capital Grille! It is a highly popular destination, so making reservations is highly recommended to secure a table.
​While the restaurant is traditionally known for its classic steakhouse fare, they are incredibly accommodating and respectful of plant-based diets. The kitchen went above and beyond, kindly modifying dishes to create excellent vegetarian and vegan options, ensuring everything was prepared seamlessly without bacon or meat products.
​For dessert, the flourless chocolate cake served with rich vanilla ice cream was an absolute masterpiece rich, decadent, and the perfect finale to the meal. A very special thanks to our server, Samantha, whose warmth, impeccable hospitality, and attention to detail made our evening truly memorable.“

“Clean Restaurant, Friendly n Welcoming Staff and Fantastic Food!!! I have No need to go to any other Restaurant cuz they have it All here..In my opinion, it's the Best Jamaican Restaurant in Hartford.“

“First time here for a dine in and it was fantastic! I got the general taos chicken w/ beef fried rice and everything had flavor also not to mention for me this place feels nostalgic like it's the 1990s/early 2000s the flavor of the food took me back like a time machine also the cans of soda was ice cold that's how I knew this place was going to be good.“

“Muy buena comida Peruana...visite muchos Restaurantes Peruanos pero nada como Minayas Restaurant...y la atención de la señorita Alison la mejor y de todo el personal“

The staff were very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!“

“We decided to give Vivaldi’s a shot tonight after a long day at work. We hadn’t had it before, so we weren’t sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised. This pizza is as good as any pizza in Avon/Canton and better than several. This is really a carry out place… there is a booth in there, but seriously, take it with you.

We had a mushroom pizza and it was great. Baked just the way we like it. We will be back for sure.“

“I love this restaurant. The food is always good and the female wait staff is great. The males, are on the rude side....one time throwing steak knives across the table when we requested them to cut our steaks. Every time we dine here, I am so annoyed with the lighting. Fluorescent lighting in a fine dining establishment is the worst. Please...please ...please put in recessed lighting that can be dimmed to make for a romantic dining experience.“

“Our first time at this establishment since it changed hands and it certainly will not be our last. My husband and I sat at the bar and enjoyed the craft cocktails and conversation with Moriah. Looking forward to returning on a night when they have live entertainment.“

“great food, i like it here“

“Delicious food, friendly staff, great atmosphere!“

“Amazing food and very friendly staff.“

“I have wanted to try Tavern on the Trax for a while now. I chose a beautiful Tuesday night to get dinner and drinks here. There is plenty of parking in the train station parking lot. It was fairly busy for a Tuesday night which is a good sign. I chose to sit outside and enjoy the weather. I ordered the clam chowder, steak tips dinner and some tasty cocktails. Everything was amazing. The steak tips were so good and the vegetables were full of flavor along with the delicious mashed potatoes. The drinks that I got hit the spot. The most impressive thing to me was the amazing service. My waitress/bartender was always coming outside to check on myself and the other parties outside now matter how busy all the while training another waitresses. They were both amazing. It was the perfect mix of great food, great drinks,and amazing service all at a great price. I'm so glad I finally got here. I will definitely be back again. My only regret is not coming here sooner. Great job,Tavern on the Trax!“

“1. Service was professional tacos were the best i've ever had in twenty years.Would I recommend this restaurant!!!! Absolutely. One hundred percent way better than the new haven trucks way better than any restaurant imitation mexican food!!! If you come here, not only are their prices reasonable, but try everything on the menu. It's phenomenal in the food taste very authentically quality.
5 stars, they deserve, bring your whole
family here. You will be very happy!!!!!!
2. If there was only one recommendation I would give for that extra star is to add more seasoning to your food. In any other case, your food is still the best that i've ever had mexican!!!!“

“best food so far in the area.“

“Homemade EVERYTHING!!! The restaurant and staff that make you feel like you’re home!!! My favorite hometown diner!“

“Muchas gracias por la atención muy deliciosa la comida y el servicio excelente. Recomendado....“

“The sushi here is fantastic, though it was a bit of a learning curve for our daughter! She wasn't a fan of the sushi texture but loved the hibachi. It’s a great place to introduce kids to new foods with their bento box options. Highly recommend the food, but the seating is a little uncomfortable, so takeout is the way to go.“

“Good food , good service, and good wine selection list“

“Very clean“

“My son loves this place. Usually he's a big Mac kid but I was lazy and placed a order for the double cheese burger it was delivered fresh and hot. The burger was huge he was like this burger is big. Needless to say he don't ask for Big Macs no more he asks for the big burger. I went in person and placed a order the workers were kind and food did not disappoint. This is our new burger place.“

“We had a fabulous night at Marketplace in Newington last night, and it was only enhanced by the wonderful service by Zach L. He was so incredibly nice, hardworking, and attentive. He was very knowledgeable about the dishes and always made sure our glasses were full. If you go- request Zach L!“

“I have been going here since 2015. Amazing food, amazing employees, amazing owners. There is not one bad thing anyone could say about this place. Love them❤️“

“This dining spot is located in the Marriott Hotel on Day Hill Road. After work, my guest and I stopped in for apps and drinks. We enjoyed the Point Judith Calamari and the wings.
The inviting atmosphere and excellent service make this dining experience a plus for business travelers. The menu is a little pricey but not out of line for 4-star hotels.

Will definitely come back for lunch or dinner.“

“Just had the best catfish and fries from Just Fish at the Jazz Festival, so delicious!! Thank you! My friend said she also liked the shrimp and hush puppies. Cant wait to find ya’ll next year again!“

“Hey, it's your girl Honest Review. So I stopped by this restaurant downtown Hartford, because I was on my way to have dinner with my neighbors. So there's an event during the summer called the Long Table, you should check it out next year. I needed something quick to pick up, and th8s restaurant came through. Because this was takeout, I didn't get to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. But I definitely will visit again. Customer service was very good. The price was decent, definitely huge portions. See pics, hope you're enjoying your summer until next time.“
