“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.“

“Came here after going to bingo Loco to finish my celebratory birthday.

We walked in within an hour of closing, so we were given last call. We were seated at a booth, but quickly moved to the bar where the bartender made our concoctions, chatted with us, and talked about the old distillery that was before the parlor.

I got the Smoke Break; mezcal, wild moon sumac, apricot, amaro del capo, lime and absinthe. It was very good, very smoky, but the perfect balance.

And of course, the birthday is not complete without shots! We ended up taking the sour cherry vodka, which is one of my favorites

We were unable to get food as the kitchen was closed, but we will have to try next time“

“So happy a fun, late night bar opened in GB! Great drinks, adorable patio, and chill atmosphere. Friendly bartenders, which I love. Definitely recommend.“

“I used to love coming here pre pandemic! I brought my friend with me from out of town and we were having a GREAT night with the bartender Dustin (who literally was excellent), and at the end of the night it was just my friend, the owner, and I. The conversation was calm and civil and fun and suddenly out of NOWHERE the owner proceeded to verbally assault us, calling us expletives and making us feel unsafe and unwelcome. We decided it was no longer for us and stepped outside, at which point he FOLLOWED US OUTSIDE and alternated between apologizing and cursing at us and begging us to come back inside until we left. I’m glad we didn’t go back inside as his behavior was erratic and potentially dangerous, considering we were two women and he is a much larger man. We were afraid and felt safer walking home (in Hartford that says something) rather than staying put. I’m bummed because I used to like this place, but it’s come to my attention we are certainly not the only women with this experience. Please be careful y’all.“

“Every bite we had was rich, delicious and flavorful. The Châteaubriand was perfectly prepared… And I found myself dreaming of the potatoes.“

“Delicious food and drinks! Will be back again!“

“Treated my sister to an excellent dinner on Easter weekend. Loved the with artic char with chef’s specialty , ginger rice and a delicious pablano sauce!“

“It Is My opinion that this is the best Italian Food in Connecticut. if you love Italian food you will love this restaurant.“

“Best Chinese food in CT! Highly recommended if you’re looking for authentic Chinese food. This is not your typical American-Chinese restaurant, but it’s good as it’s meant to be cooked in China. Yum!“

“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.“

“Cannot say enough good things about The Hollow. Whether you are a golfer or not the restaurant should be added to your regular rotation. The food is top notch, everything on the menu is fantastic. My favorites are the loaded potato chips and the Brit burger. The staff is friendly, the drinks are perfect and everything is reasonably priced (especially here in 2022). Did i mention the view from the patio is beautiful? This restaurant is a must taste!“

“The shakes are amazing and the staff is always so nice!“

“Great food , vibes and atmosphere.“

“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!“

“Had my son’s 21st Birthday party. Spent the whole day cooking. I am so glad I had Cocktails and the Carriage there to take care of the bartending. It’s usually my job as well. It took a huge burden off of my shoulders. The drinks were fantastic and the bartender was unbelievable. I actually got to sit down and relax a bit which never happens. I highly recommend them for any function.“

“El servicio es excelente; Ángel es como su nombre, me encantó, unas atenciones formidables.“

“When I asked at work where I should take my family for some authentic Pho, I was told to hit MECHA. we went today and it was superb! The staff were excellent and everything we got was top tier. The edamame, and mushroom dumplings were awesome appetizers and the Pho was awesome. I had the Pho King with the recommended greens and Thai chilis and it was the best lunch I've had in a long time. The limeade was soooo good. I can't wait to go back!“

“Excellent service and delicious food👍🏼“

“The ambiance is amazing...music is great and the FOOD!!!!! BABAYYYYY it is perfection on a plate“

“Five stars all around. Great, friendly staff. Tasty dishes with an artistic atmosphere!“

“Food was way better than expected for a movie theater restaurant. However, the fries were over cooked and the chicken was nothing special. I wouldn’t stop if I wasn’t going to the movies. Everything came out fast and the waitress was great.“

“I have been to Jimmy Chen's several times this past year. It is probably one of the best affordable chinese food places this side of the Mississippi. My go to is simple General Tsos Shrimp and Shrimp Fried Rice and its never not been phenomenal. I've had Chinese food from NYC to Chicago to Philly: in terms of price, value, taste its the best. Really the only better Chinese food I've had has been double the price. I will say though, try to order when Jimmy himself is there. Man is a beast helping every where he can and I definitely feel the food is better when he's around.“

“We love this place! Authentic Mexican food and restaurant. People usually order out so we love coming here and enjoying the place with our daughter who LOVES the food. the Young lady who owns/cooks is very nice to our family. We just love good Mexican food!“

“Great food and atmosphere. Will be back very soon!“

“Great place! Fun atmosphere, good service and fantastic food. Good sized portions. We over-ordered and had to take so much home. We had the giant pretzel and nachos. Shrimp tacos, quesadillas and burrito. Everything was wonderful! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Food, Fun, and Music 🍷🍾🥂🍻🍺“

“Upon arriving we asked if they had gluten free items on their menu. They Had. It was a separate menu but it was identical to the original with modifications for gluten free on ALL items they served. Our meal was terrific. Our server Jenny was outstanding, attentive and very personable. The managers took special attention in bringing out my meals themselves. We really appreciated the effort and experience we had at this restaurant. Highly Recomended. Brian G“

“Had weekday lunch, ordered eggplant parm and tiramisu.
Zero complaints about service or atmosphere.
Now, the food:
1. Eggplant parm - great! And a decent portion for lunch.
2. Pasta (rigatoni) that came with eggplant - almost cold, severely undercooked (I do understand a concept of all dente, and this was not it), tasteless, and in a spicy (i should have been asked) red sauce. Disappointing.
3. Tiramisu - tasted great, but probably the smallest portion I've ever gotten in a restaurant... for $10.00, 2x2 inches is a bit too small.
Overall: I will come and eat there again.“
