“Went for a birthday dinner, group of 6. Ordered house made bread rolls, calimari, potato bravas, ceasear salad, calamari, fish and chips, garlic Parmesan white fish with mashed potatoes, risotto with salmon. Everything was DELICIOUS!!! Perfectly cooked and served piping hot! Very fresh and well seasoned! Our server was also great! Will definitely be back soon. New chef is a big improvement on the food. If you have been here during the past few years and have been disappointed by the food, give it another try now. I think you will be very pleased!“

“Had dinner at Gather 55 last night and it was the most pleasant dining experience and best food I’ve had in months! Crystal’s service was excellent! She is a master at her craft! Not only was the experience worth every penny, the mission and purpose of Gather 55 is wonderful! I wish we had one in TN!“

“That buttered hot dog roll 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 oh.my.gawwwddddd! SO good! And it doesn’t break at the bottom like most hot dog buns do. Service was super fast and all the staff was friendly and looked happy and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Great environment! Will go again!“

“It was a culinary delight. I had the crispy duck leg. It was so tender on the inside. It was plated on passion fruit juice and seeds, and garnished with crispy rind of orange. It was such a joy to eat.“

“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.“

“A-Z everything here is great, from service to bar to food. A great experience all around!“

“First visit. Food was excellent. We will be back!!“

“Came in last minute this past Saturday with a party of 9 (4 adults and 5 children under 11) as grandson had a baseball game nearby. Was my first time. Food choices were very good and kids menu also had lots of offerings and their meals also included ice cream. I can’t say enough about our waiter, Matt. He was just the perfect server for our party, as he had children himself and totally understood how challenging it could be eating out with kids. He put the kids orders in right away. He knew just want to stop by and check on us. He is an asset to your restaurant and you’re very lucky to have him. We will definitely be back. Was a very positive experience.“

“When I ask for medium rare they deliver. Both times that I have stopped in, Callie took great care of my grandmother and I, she is incredibly helpful and friendly. I am honestly very excited for the next burger to try out.“

“Great food , vibes and atmosphere.“

“Went here for lunch with my sister! I couldn’t believe how packed they were on a Monday! No wonder- the food and drink were ON POINT! Our waiter was very attentive and informative on wine. We shared the spinach and artichoke dip- delicious! I had the harvest vegetable bowl and added steak. The flavors mixed so well creating a palette of fresh, and my steak was cooked perfectly! My sister got the burger and a Cesar salad. The dressing was really fresh and lemony! The burger was delish as well! I will definitely be back! All the food I watched going by looked like 10 stars!“

“My hubby and I went for dinner here with some friends and had a great experience! Best mussels I ever had in my life and we both loved the fries too! Service was friendly and quick, especially for a party of 8 people. They also have some innovative mocktails! Highly recommended!“

“I’ve been to this restaurant more times than I can count, and I keep coming back for the exact same meal because it’s THAT good! On top of the great food, the service is always on point. Huge shoutout to my server, Steven, who is always friendly, laid-back, and makes the experience even better.
If you’re looking for a relaxed, laid-back place to enjoy a late lunch with great food and great service, look no further. Ask for Steven — you won’t be disappointed!“

“Tenth Hole Tavern is the best spot for casual dining/takeout this side of Glastonbury. Their food is excellent and the staff really knows how to show the customers a good time. Kendall and Kelly are the nicest and are very accommodating. Not to mention the full bar, expansive beer selection, and wide variety on the menu. Some of my personal favorites include the chicken tenders (with their house made buffalo sauce), the buttermilk chicken sandwich, and the oven roasted turkey wrap. Don’t sleep on the brick oven pizza either. Tenth Hole Tavern has earned a special place in my heart❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“GREAT FOOD, FAST SERVICE!“

“The food here is delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The owner is very friendly and the staff make the dining experience here a pleasure. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“Stopped in for a very last minute birthday dinner. The staff quickly accommodated a large group (with kids) no problem. Food and service was excellent and the live music really made the night. We were very impressed. Thanks for a memorable night.“

“This place was awesome. Food was great. Music was great. Good vibes.“

“My family of five recently had dinner at Beachland Tavern. I just want to give a shout-out to the staff. We have dairy allergies and they went above and beyond to make sure we were set. Thank you. We will definitely be back and we really appreciate it. Food was great, wine and beer were perfect, but the staff deserves gold stars! Thanks again and highly recommend, especially to families!“

“We had the jumbo wings with buffalo on the side. Some of the best wings I’ve ever had. 10/10“

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

“Umm... Amazing! I don't know anyone can rate other than 5 stars!!! The food was out if this world. Fresh and delicious seafood. Everything we had was top notch.“

“Since a lot of these reviews appear to be old, clarifying 2 things: there are two locations (norfolk & hartford) run by Good Works Entertainment. The Hartford location used to have a bistro but does not any longer - they have chips and candy. The highly regarded Bears smoke house is across the street as is the convention center and hotel (that ay have a special rate if you ask). hartford location has nearby street and paid parking unaffiliated with the venue. Both feature a range of arttists so check one or both out with friends and family.“

“Everything about this place is great! I came in for some heavily fruited sours and Espresso Martinis on tap! KoKo the bartender has amazing suggestions and gives a heavy pour! The atmosphere is super chill, good for talking and hanging out or working on your grad student projects. Trivia night was a blast and the prizes are surprisingly good! I would absolutely recommend 10/10!!“

“The food Is pretty good. The service isn't bad. It's just a bit unorganized and quite slow. They only accept cash, but they do have a ATM area. You can differently have a conversation and talk.It's in a church cafeteria. I would encourage. Trying to at least once. The turkey wings are my favorite from this location.“

“We are a group of eight Women golfers that travel each week to play a different course in CT. Get the usual eye rolling looks from the men from parking lot, pro shop to the course and finally the bar. Some men are polite but they are few. Quarry Ridge staff went over the top to make our Tuesday golf experience relaxing and fun. Course was in good shape. Kevin in the pro shop attentive asking questions after our round to see if we had a good time and what were our thoughts about women’s golf. Poor Kevin got a earful I’m afraid. He was such a good sport! The chef came out and checked on our lunch. Talked about his menu. Very enthusiastic. It was a perfect day Tuesday Blue sky, cool temps, Great Golf and being with friends. Thank you to all the staff at Quarry Ridge. You will see us all again. Keep up the great work of making women feel valued in the sport of golf. Kindest Regards, Kathy Mroczka“

“fantastic drinks! great service!“

“Pretty decent! Like a regular restaurant. Love how they bring mint chocolate sticks everyone has to love them. My daughter says the kids chicken tenders are amazing! Especially the ranch. The atmosphere is okay nothing fancy. We had Nyelle P for our waitress very kind good experience!“

“good big slices for 3 bucks and up cant go wrong. really good pizza.“

“Friendly staff, good portions and changing breakfast specials. Nice atmosphere. I go here 3x a week.“

“the chicken sandwich was pretty good. the vread was fresh it was seasoned well. but they must and I mean must leave making collard greens alone. it's cool, it's not for everyone. They had no seasoning and whoever made them cut none if tge "veins" stems out“

“Had our 37 grammar school reunion Our waitress Mary Lu was amazing We had a set up in the back which was perfect as we were a fun 🤩 group The food was great and the cocktails 🍹 amazing (recommend Strawberry coconut martini)“

“It's a decent restaurant if you are staying in the hotel. I probably wouldn't come here otherwise. The food seems fresh and well prepared. The menu is very small. My only issue was they clearly don't wash their romaine lettuce, this should be a crime after all the issues with recalls. Not to mention, who wants to eat grit?!“

“I had a great experience at The Bar & Grill in Newington. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt casual, comfortable, and welcoming. It had the kind of neighborhood spot feeling where you can relax, enjoy good food, and not feel rushed.

The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food came out hot, fresh, and exactly as ordered. I also liked that it felt like a fun place to meet up with friends, grab a meal, watch a game, or just enjoy a laid-back night out. The overall experience was easy, enjoyable, and exactly what I was hoping for.

I would definitely come back to The Bar & Grill and would recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly local place with good food, good service, and a comfortable atmosphere.“
