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

“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!“

“This olive garden is the first one i've been to that doesn't have a strong smell of bathrooms when you go in. In a lot of olive gardens, the restrooms are right next to the entrance, and boy was that a poor choice in design. Instead of smelling the excellent garlics breads, you get that weird smell of pee mixed with deodorant salts. This is my only vomplain with this franchise older restaurants. But rest assure this one isn't one of those. We went in at 4 pm, everyone had a smile, the service was quick, refills where plentyfull and we had a great time. Great restautants for the kids too. For allergic customers, their garlic breadsticks are dary and egg free and they taste sooo good. Portions at olive garden are very large and prices are fair.“

“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.“

“Olli is amazing and goes above and beyond to serve her customers. The manager Liz is more invested in her employees than most places I've been. The atmosphere inside the dining in of very lackluster. But, at least in nice weather you can sit outside.“

“Always great, I usually order ahead.

Vegetarian options: Plant base protein powders, mostly fruit base plates, they have green options, nuts.

Parking: Parking garage is right around the corner and easy to get to. Street parking is all parallel parking and it's usually hard to find a spot on busy times“

“The food was absolutely delicious!! The lomo saltado was perfectly cooked with just the right balance of spices. The portions were generous, and each dish tasted authentic. Calm atmosphere and friendly staff. Whether you’re familiar with Peruvian cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place is a must. Highly recommend!“

“Food was great. We started with oysters, parkerhouse rolls and zucchini app. The zucchini was the stand out! Second time I've had the bass and it didn't disappoint...so tasty. My husband had the steak frites and it was cooked to perfection. Also a generous portion. Our friend had the salmon and said it was very good and my son had the burger. Said it was good but nothing special.“

“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!!“

“Been coming to Pho Boston for a while now and they are always spot on. The food is amazing and the staff is awesome. The gentleman in the black shirt (I believe he is the manager) is always hustling and super kind. The entire staff is fabulous. Highly recommend Pho Boston!“

“Good food,super quick and nice service
In a very lively area.
We got the :
-Cowboy burger itg side of fries - good burger,the bacon was super crispy
-Ahi tuna burger with a side of calslaw- surprisingly juicy and the seasoning was delicious.And the slaw was very tasty
-Buffalo shrimp - just YUM
-Egg plant fries - not my favorite,was a bit too oily,the bayter is too heavy for the eggplant
Washed it ll down with a vanilla milkshake
Sorry that we only photographed the shrimp and fries,we were starving after a 6 hour drive“

“Excellent service, ambiance, menu selections, and individualized meals made this a wonderful place for five friends to celebrate a birthday. We will return!“

“AMAZING food! Great atmosphere too!“

“First time visiting this place and food was good. The dumplings were amazing and the pork nuggets were amazing. Service was also very good - fast and cordial.

Giving only 4 starts cause the menu is limited. I wish they had more options for meats and noodles.“

“Delicious pizza with fast and friendly service! Pizzas are personal size, perfect for catering to individual tastes. After a small mixup with our order, the restaurant insisted on comping the dish and even tried to send us home with an additional free pizza — totally above and beyond. The other pizza we were mistakenly sent also turned out to be fantastic. Five stars for food and service!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The momo’s were excellent. The dishes we got were chicken with Palow rice and matt paneer. They were decent but not great. The salad that came with the chicken dish was filled with nasty browning lettuce. Hard to understand how they could serve that.

The atmosphere inside was tired looking. Kinda felt like I was still in an IHOP.

I might get the momos to go next time.“

“Long time customer and while the location has changed the food and service are still amazing.“

“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 (-:“

“THE FOOD IS SOOOOO GOOD OMMMMMG“

“This is a Hidden Gem in town. It's been here for a while, the prices are reasonable, the service is always attentive, and the food tends to be pretty fresh.

The portion sizes are quite good for Thai food, the meat is always tender, and the vegetables always seem like they are fresh, which is not always the case with the vegetables in Thai restaurants.

Parking can be a little bit of a challenge when they are busy, but it's well worth a visit.“

“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.“

“The Food is Delicious and the service is good. Done in or take out, you will not be disappointed!“
