“Christopher did an amazing job from the start to the end. I came here for a quick drink prior to my flight to San Diego. He was very attentive and sincere during my visit. Always made sure my water cup was full and had consistently asked if everything was okay. Made a perfect old fashion for me as well. Chris displayed great communication/customer service skills. Really enjoyed my visit and will be back. Christina was very friendly as well. Great job screening /hiring the right people!“

“Nice place to get a quick bite while staying at the airport. The rating is specifically because of the servers. The place was busy with eat in and take our orders. The two bartenders/servers were so pleasant and attentive even though they were crazy busy.“

“Most esteemed Sirs and Madams, Upon a recent foray to the illustrious establishment known as Bobby V’s Sports Bar, I found myself most thoroughly delighted by a libation of singular character and uncommon fortitude — the Bloody Mary. Permit me, if you will, to extol its many virtues in the manner of our venerable age. The drink, served with the precision of a seasoned apothecary and the flair of a Parisian bon vivant, arrived in a chalice most sturdy, bedecked with pickled accoutrements of vibrant hue. From the very first sip, I was struck by its splendid balance — a harmonious union of tomato’s sanguine richness and the invigorating heat of pepper and spice, most assuredly the handiwork of a barkeep well-versed in his alchemical arts. There is, in this draught, a robustness that stirs the spirit and fortifies the constitution. One might liken it to a tonic most restorative, capable of lifting the morning fog from even the most beleaguered gentleman. The vodka, though potent, did not shout its presence but whispered with the subtle confidence of a trusted companion. As the great Dickens might proclaim — it was the best of beverages, not the worst; a veritable elixir for both the palate and the soul. Whether one seeks solace from the toils of labour or a lively accompaniment to sporting spectacle, Bobby V’s Bloody Mary stands as a triumph of modern mixology wrapped in the charm of a bygone era. I remain, Your most obedient and thoroughly impressed servant, A Humble Patron of the Bar“

“Had the absolutely best fish & chips ever created-delicious 😍😁👍 great service.“

“Today we visited the Windsor Locks, CT location. When we arrived inside, we were promptly greeted and seated in Laila section. Laila was very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and the Ruby Tuesday app. Today I had the 6 oz sirloin. It was cooked just the way I like it. The salad bar was amazing too. The atmosphere was very comforting. Laila was perfect in helping us check out with the new style CC system.“

“Don't Forget about having Lunch at Tucker's Restaurant! Today I had a Wonderful Meal that consisted of Homemade New England Clam Chowder for starters. Then for my Main Meal, I had their Cordon Blue with famous Roasted Red Pepper Sauce. The Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Broccoli, and Cauliflower, while prepared simply tasted Fresh and Delicious. Quick, Friendly Service, and a Beautiful Dining Room, this is Upscale Dining at an Affordable Price! You will feel like part of the Anderson Family once you try them out!“

“Been going here for over a decade, and Harvest remains the best breakfast/brunch/bakery in the area. They have fresh baked items in the bakery case daily that are priced reasonably, and their scones are THE BEST with great flavor and spot-on texture. Dining in, I always enjoy the Farmer's Benedict with a side of fresh baked sourdough toast. I prefer my eggs poached hard, and they gladly accommodate this request. On top of the most amazing food, the friendly staff, great service, and a cozy atmosphere makes every experience dining in a pleasure!“

“We are from Rhode Island and were in the area to visit Six Flags. Found Marks Restaurant using Google maps for breakfast near me. The food was excellent. The homemade bread was even better. Probably not a common comment, but my view of the kitchen from the register it’s a very clean and neat setup. I’ve worked in foodservice delivery and have always viewed restaurants from back of house which influenced my decision to eat there. I recommend Marks and will be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“We played a great round at Wintonbury Hills, then headed here for pizza and beers. 24 guys and all loved the pizza and wings we had, Perfect spot will be back, Sammy and the staff treated us great,“

“I feel it’s important to share Three Figs is under new management and has made quite a turnaround. I waited until I experienced several successful visits before writing this review so I could be certain in my recommendation. I’ve now dined in a small group, a larger group, in the dining room, in the bar and as part of a civic group banquet in the back room. Each time, I have been pleased and satisfied. The food has been delicious (both regular menu and specials) and the service prompt & exceptional. I find the atmosphere warm & welcoming, reminding me of Cheers (the neighborhood place where everybody knows your name). Our dinner this past week was a positive experience in specific ways. We didn’t have a reservation and the parking lot was packed. Yet our wait was surprisingly short, and enjoyable at the bar with friendly service. Once in the dining room, our server was kind, helpful and happy…and very accommodating when a substitution was requested on an order at our table. The manager even helped serve our plates and made sure we were all enjoying our experience. Noting that the staff worked well together and were all happy…it implies that working there must be positive for them as well. The restaurant itself was also very clean and comfortable. In the past, I could not have shared these same words and had nearly given up on this local, convenient spot. So it pleases me very much to see the new management has turned it around. Having a great spot so close by is appreciated. Congrats Three Figs…your efforts are worth it!“

“I had a surprise 40th for my husband at the Grill at Cooper Hill and they did a wonderful job! I was able to get in earlier in the day to decorate how I wanted, and create a space that accommodated a large group of people. Joe and Deanna were so great at the bar! They were fun and friendly and great at keeping up with the busy bar action! The food was delicious. The kitchen staff was able to keep pace with refilling trays as they became low. Kristin was always available if I had questions prior to the party. She was so helpful in weeks leading up. It’s such a great, laid back atmosphere for a party. I would highly recommend using their space to host your next event!“

“Sister’s is a small and cozy neighborhood cafe located in the north end of Hartford that feels very homey. Great food, good vibes, and friendly service. The menu is a blend of Jamaican and Black American comfort food. I started to get the ackee and salt fish but stuck with an old southern favorite my grandma used to make. The fish and grits with a side of eggs didn’t disappoint! The fish was seasoned and fried perfectly and the grits were buttery and soft. I’ll be back the next time I’m in town.“

“Ordered the baked stuffed shrimp, crab cakes, steak tips and chicken. Absolutely amazing, taste is unreal and perfect portion for my husband and I. We also ordered a few more items and can’t wait to try. Krafted Kitchen will be part of our weekly dinners.“

“We booked The Tavern for our October 2021 wedding right before the pandemic hit. Throughout the entire planning process and hundreds of questions, Jasmine was always readily available via email or text up until wedding day (even when we became date twins). Everything came out beautiful, the set up for dinner and our ceremony was perfect! The grounds were perfect for our pictures. Everyone loved the appetizers during cocktail hour and our cake was delicious. We had a few mishaps during our dinner, but we didn’t let that fog the happiest day of our lives. Jasmine also quickly took action and made things right. They will likely be my go-to for other events because ours was greatly executed with the help of my in-laws, Lynne (sorry if I spelled it wrong), and Jasmine. My favorite thing about having them as our venue was that we didn’t have to clean up anything or set up anything. Lynne made sure things were arranged accordingly and brought my vision to life. Even when we had to create a back up plan because of weather Jasmine and Lynne helped to calm my nerves about the last minute changes.“

“Erica was amazing she was so attentive and gave amazing recommendations. Stella service for Eric. As for the Restaurant amazing boneless chicken was amazing and portions were out of this world. The bake Cod along with mash potatoes and brussels sprouts very tasteful and potions were for than one person. Food and service were Stella and amazing.“

“Gina and the staff were so helpful and accommodating with our baby shower, they even got up on a ladder to help hang decorations! Beautiful venue, view and food, great place for a private party“

“Great atmosphere, great food and Shannon is the best server!“

“New outdoor area is great. Plenty of space and well lit for a late dinner meal. Had the fish and steak meals, both were delicious. Staff was attentive and even the owner was involved with our service, making sure we had an enjoyable experience. Will def be back.“

“Today I decided to actually patronize this establishment after seeing many posts about it and my sister raving about it. I had the macaroni and cheese with jerk chicken and my son had the steak and cheese panini with a side of fries. All I can say is yum, yum, yum! The portions were plentiful and I only ate a third of my meal. I would like to Thank you and your staff Chef Walt, and I will definitely be back ( This time I will call ahead…lol…..although the wait was not long at all).“

“Great pizza ! And quesadillas“
