“Delicious, flavorful, exotic looking Mediterranean dishes and great drinks. Would love to visit again:)“

“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.“

“Gage had excellent customer service skills. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and attentive to detail. Everyone here is always friendly and helpful. And most importantly, the food is freaking delicious! I always order the salmon bowl and its enough for 2 people!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“Just opened their new location at Blue Back Square in West Hartford. I ordered the Angry Tebboki (regular and garlic) Very good..Can't wait to try the other menu items.“

“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“

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

“Great service at the bar! Chose the bar over waiting a half hour for a booth. Bartender on 11/28/25 was very attentive. I got the Steak Gorganzola with Alfredo sauce and 9oz Merlot. Daughter had the Chicken Parmesian. Delicious! I will be back after the holidays.“

“We loved this place! Authentic Chinese food - Stephanie. The Chengdu dumplings and cold rabbit appetizers were fantastic! my son had the crisp pork belly, and I had the sliced smoked duck. Soooooo delicious! Can't wait to bring the hubs here.“

“We had a really wonderful birthday lunch for my brother’s 70 th birthday celebration on Sunday. 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!“

“Amazing food great service very reasonable and the jalapeño tequila avocado margarita is the best!“

“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! ❤️“

“Hey Mike! The Branzino was amazing. Loved the sampler appetizer too. See yah soon!“

“Beautiful atmosphere, service was very good . Food was outstanding and very fresh . Chef is very talented with great presentation. I would highly recommend !“

“Food is delicious! Highly recommend the Brussels sprouts, salads, truffle fries, pizza and meatballs. The drinks are really good too! Great place!“

“Max Burger is a good solid choice for burgers and salads. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting and the staff friendly and accommodating.

The food is quite good with a nice selection of burgers along with protein alternatives like tuna and turkey. They also have vegan options should that be your jam. Salads a good but they have slowly gotten smaller over time. One can assume this is to keep profit margins solid. What is nice is they source from many local suppliers.

They offer a decent selection of drafts as well cocktails and NA selections.

When in the mood for a good burger add this option to your list.“

“Great vegan options! Delicious and fresh food 👏👏“

“What a Amazing place to dine.The staff was so attentive. Our food and drinks were absolutely decadent. I will be back.“

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

“Excellent one of the best ,can’t say enough our waiter made our evening very pleasant Food was superb. The app’s our table ordered were above board Great Place for Greg’s Last Birthday Party. Thank You to all the Staff“

“Come here for the exceptional Thai food, get the vibe and extraordinary service somewhere else.

The Thai food menu is a huge range and they accommodate everyone. The duck salad was the best I ever had. The menu really has something for everyone!

The service is good and professional, the vibe is more like a quiet restaurant with a mix of families and couples and groups.

They don’t have a huge wine menu but boy are they generous with their pours.

We will always come back here for a great meal, quiet vibe and easy dinner experience.“

“There food is very good. I order online for delivery a lot. The food is always here quickly, nice and hot. The delivery is awesome. He has a great sense of humor.“

“We discovered Bombay Olive over seven years ago. Since then we have had Indian food all over the state and even country, and to this day it is still our #1. The food is fantastic, the staff is unbelievably friendly, and dining at the restaurant is a comfortable, cozy experience.“

“The food is always delicious no matter what we order! The service is friendly and responsive; fast but you never feel rushed. Their food is fresh, rice is fluffy, vegetable are my favorite. When we ordered a shrimp dish, there were so many shrimp it made splitting the dish with everyone very easy. I highly recommend this restaurant, it is a pleasure going there.“

“Overall, Ben & Jerry’s is a great spot to stop by for a scoop of ice cream! it’s been a staple of W. Hartford Center for many years now, and I’m grateful that it’s maintained such a long-term presence. The staff are always friendly, kind, and very efficient! The price is a little steep, but so is everything in West Hartford these days.

Overall, there’s a good selection of ice cream! I consume only dairy free ice cream, and usually they will have at least 2 to 3 flavors. The selection of dairy ice cream flavors is more expansive, and they truly have something for everyone in terms of taste. Their shakes and smoothies also looked delicious as well!

Unfortunately, the line is usually extremely long in the summer. The last time I was there, in late June, the line stretched all the way out the door. There were only two employees working, and they seemed quite young. They were doing a wonderful job, but it looked like a lot to juggle. In the warmer months, it may be helpful to staff more people due to the sheer volume.

I wanted to mention something that occurred at my last visit that concerned me. The line was extremely long. The couple in front of us had two medium-large sheepdogs. The dogs were extremely anxious and nervous being in such a long line and in a small and cramped space. They were clearly not doing well. A staff member kindly asked the couple to bring the dogs outside. They were obviously not service dogs as they had no vest or badge and were clearly not trained to be calm in stressful situations. The couple then proceeded to lie and say they were service animals. The staff dropped it, but I feel that a sign may be helpful for the front door stating service animals only. It was uncomfortable to see these dogs in distress in such a small shop, they were whining and very anxious.

Just wanted to give my feedback! Keep up the good work (-:“

“I used to go to this Chinese restaurant 20 years ago when I was a teenager and lived in CT. Fast forward 25 yrs and I still will only come to this place for Chinese food after moving back! These guys make some truly yummy food and they're extremely kind. Thank you Triple Star for still being here!

Vegetarian options: They have lots of vegetarian options which they allow you to customize.“
