“Nataz in Southington is a true gem! We had my company’s holiday party here mid-week during the day before they opened for regular dinner service and it was AMAZING! The setup was great for our group and the restaurant was decorated beautifully. We had two dedicated waitresses, Sara and Heather, who went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a drink upon sitting down and that everyone got their food in a timely manner. Both Sara and Heather were very polite and accommodating, even weaving in and out of our employees and Santa participating in a gift exchange. Special thank you to Chuck for setting everything up for us! The food was exceptional! From the grazing boards to the salads to the entrees and dessert, everything was flavorful and cooked/presented perfectly. If you are looking for a great local place with really good food, check out Nataz for your next event or dinner out with family/friends. You definitely will not be disappointed!“

“Ordered 30 wings, one entree , French onion soup, and buff cauliflower.

Everything was exactly as we ordered it, order was ready on time, food was excellent, and soup traveled really well for takeout French onion, which is hard to pull off.

Highly recommend the takeout if you cannot dine in.“

“I love it !“

“This was a stop along the way home on our vacation. I ordered the chicken cheesesteak and my husband ordered a regular cheesesteak. The owner took our order. Super friendly gentleman! Our food was ready very quickly, hot, and delicious! There isn't much to the place, but well worth the stop!“

“Love the way they keep it old traditional style breakfast with amazing severs and fluffy pancakes and omelets! Never change, your restaurant is perfect just like it is. America is changing fast and I know I'm not the only one who appreciates and enjoys a bit of a homecooked meal from a genuine place.“

“It's been a while but everything was great as always and our waitress Jill is amazing!“

“We had my daughter’s baby shower at Lola’s. From the start of booking until the day of the shower. So easy to work with. The day of the shower, we were greeted with such warmth and truly our waitress for our party, Becky, was fantastic. Catered to our every need and was so beyond helpful. She worked very hard and was so pleasant! The food was amazing and plenty of it! Guests went back for seconds! Becky even went above and beyond for my mom who couldn’t eat something and prepared a new one just for her. Truly a gem of a place! Thank you again to the owners and to our waitress who went above and beyond for making our day so perfect! We can’t wait to come back! Kim Landeen“

“We ate here the first time this week. I had the BBQ Short Rib Melted Cheese. It was divine! We'll be back.“

“jimmys food is excellent! however I was there for the 1st time last week, our waitress was not friendly with us. no personality, no smile..brought our food put it down walked away, said nothing. then 5 mins later, as she was walking by the table threw the receipt down, said nothing. Never came to see if we needed anything else or how the food was, she never offered desert, so we didn't get that. I had to go to the counter and ask for a box, as again she never came back to the table. there were only a few tables full, so she wasn't overly busy, meanwhile I'm watching the other waitress there, smile and laugh with her customers. I wish I knew her name, because she definitely needs to learn people skills. ohh I also heard her complaining to a customer who she must've known, about her training someone and now the other girl is waiting tables and she was not happy that this girl was doing her job basically 🙄“

“Always a pleasant staff….♥️“

“Always a great time food is delicious and the people are so friendly“

“We have been to Uncommon many times and the food is always amazing and we have always had a great experience all around but I want to say we had the absolute best service here tonight so I wanted to thank our server Justin D. for an outstanding dining experience tonight. Justin was professional and has a really fun personality. Even though the restaurant was crazy busy we never had to ask for anything, Justin was just there anytime we needed anything. The support staff also did an amazing job tonight as well keeping the table clear of empty glasses and dishes and running food. Just an over all lovely experience.“

“I'm new in the Bristol area. One day I decided to come eat at friendlys and ever since I've been coming here. They are friendly here, the food is always fresh, neatly served and delicious.

Vegetarian options: I see they have broccoli and beef bites I haven't tried the new item yet but I'm sooo looking forward to it ! Yummy

Kid-friendliness: The kids love it. They are kind, smile and laugh with the kids and they serve them what the kids ask for. It's so sweet

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchairs and enough room space to move around.“

Right from the time I first called to plan the party through the dinner service. Everyone had a great time and raved about the food and location.“

“With warm weather in June, we sat outside on The Oak Patio to watch musician Timmy Maia cover well-known songs. The Oak Patio serves the TimeOut Sports & Pizza Bar menu which includes usual pub fare such as burgers, gourmet pizza, appetizers, salads and sandwiches plus a few high end dinners. Full bar with craft beers in addition to a good selection of wine. Arrive early if you want to sit in the comfortable sectional and seatings in front of the stage inside the fenced in area. Our friends got there an hour before the show and we still could only be seated at a table for four outside the fence, which allows diners to see the entertainment but through the iron bars.All of our food and drinks were very good and served in a timely manner: coconut shrimp, calamari and nachos for starters. Kobe burger with bacon and fried egg; French dip handheld sandwich with sliced beef, cheddar and au jus; Jerry Pizza with mushrooms and pepperoni.My partner, an old friend of Timmy's wanted to say hi during intermission so we went through the lobby of the Doubletree hotel by Hilton Hotel where this venue is located in Bristol, and went inside the enclosure so they could shake hands, catch up and take some photos. It's a nice place to get out and have a meal with or without a band. There's a lot of greenery, palms, plants and white lights under a white tented roof for the enclosed main area.“

“We happened to come in on a busy night. Tina was our server. Her and the Manager were professional and handled the crowd with no problem. All our ice creams were perfect and it was still a pleasant environment even though every booth was full! Will definitely come back again“

Call now for assistance with your legal troubles!!!“

“We had the pleasure of dining at Flair tonight for dinner and were blown away. A beautiful, cozy atmosphere and the food and service there are beyond amazing. So many choices on the menu, we will certainly be back to try more of them!“

“I ordered a filled bagel and a cupcake. The service was very friendly and warm, and quick though there was quite a queue. The bagel was excellent, great taste, with a small side salad. The cupcake was really moist and beautiful, the buttercream very creamy, and tasty all-in-all, though very sugary! I would recommend this place for the excellent bagels and kind service, and the cupcakes for the ones with a sweet tooth. Maybe an idea for the future to have some sweet products that don't pack quite as much sugar, but I'm definitely coming back for another bagel!“

“This place is for sure a hidden gem...A small little mom & pop place that has been around a long time...They are open for breakfast & lunch...6a-2p mon-saturday & 6a-1p on Sunday. I had a grilled ham cheese and tomato and a cup of tomato soup...it was maybe 8 bucks and delicious...a value meal from McDonald's costs more...idk how they keep everything so affordable, but im glad they do...Give them a try...help keep this place going...“

“Awesome beautiful location cam also do catering parties or events. Great service good food. Will visit again.“

“Quaint Waterbury tavern with the best owner in town. All the bartenders are pleasant, professional, and accommodating. The history if Wzterbury is embedded in the walls of this iconic bar. Must visit place if you are passing through Waterbury.“

“We tried the pepperoni pizza last night. It was good.“

“I've had the pleasure of going to Meet Me Here several times over the past year. It's a small, intimate atmosphere with great food and an excellent staff. (Sherrie and Kristen are really great) I've also gotten to know some of their regular customers, making dining here that much more fun and personable. Make a reservation and enjoy a nice dinner out.“

“Homemade EVERYTHING!!! The restaurant and staff that make you feel like you’re home!!! My favorite hometown diner!“

“The supervisor Derick is very friendly & has lots of patience he always gets my order done correctly with no delay…“

“Food and servers are exceptional! The owners are exceptionally kinda d generous! You can sit and talk with friends,and the servers will not rush you out! Such kind and thoughtful people. The place is spotless!“

“Just had our first meal here. The entire restaurant is filthy. Our dishes that held our silverware were reused. Our table was dirty To where we washed it with our drinking water. We were ready to leave but had put in our order and wanted to try food. The food Was decent but pricey for amount you got. Called manager over to show him how thick the dust was on ledge where everyone sits And eats. He said he was new. Not an excuse. Restaurant was empty now I know why. The whole place smells dirty as soon as you sit down and have to breathe in one spot. This restaurant will not last if things don't Change. It will be a repeat of Chips restaurant all over again.“

“10-19-24

On A Positive Note: Great service and fresh hot food.

I dined outside, for lunch, as part of a MeetUp group. This was my second time here. Today, I ordered fried shrimp, fries and coleslaw. The shrimp was tasty, lightly battered, and cooked just right. However, the fries were just ok and the coleslaw was tiny and rather dry. For $24 I would prefer the option of a side salad over fries.

The Verdict: A nice atmosphere and decent food.

A Daily Diner.?“

“The food is always delicious and prepared how you like it. Its a clean atmosphere with kind and professional staff. The owners are community minded, and generous. They are involved with outreach organizations raising money, awareness, and basic need items for people in need. My son, Richard, enjoys eating at Gayles more than any other restaurant because of how we are treated there, and because he says they have the best burgers, turkey clubs, and milkshakes around!!!!“

“very friendly staff and reasonable prices“

“Very tasty food and upbeat attitudes by son and mom make Fina's kitchen a place to return to a couple of times a month.“

“Great service. Amazing food. They always do an awesome Job. Love the New mill 👍👍“

“Best place to go for a diner in town“

“Stumbled in randomly and it’s our new favorite! Excellent food, service and vibe!! 🥂“

“This was our first time to The Meating place! it was unbelievably great food! everything was cooked to perfection, and the Rib Eye sandwich was Amazing! We will definitely be back!“

“Stopped here for a late lunch today. Our server was awesome, attentive and friendly without feeling like they were at our table every two seconds. The wait for food and drinks was very reasonable and the food came out hot. I tried “The Craft” pizza and shared a slice of their seasonal cheesecake (lemon ricotta with a blueberry sauce). I definitely recommend it. Prices felt fair for the quality of food and the service.“

“Hands down the best breakfast bacon egg and cheese around. Must have burgers also along with sausage burgers.“

“Wings 100% and Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls.“

“Our order: 1st plate: sausage & 2 eggs toast & 1 pancake 2nd plate: omelette with green peppers; tomateo & cheese ( no toast or meat) 1 pancake ---1 cup of coffee each!! COST: $33.34! Outrageous! The young waitress forgot to put in for 1 pancake as partner requested a little late but she completely forgot altogether & then told us it was almost done, should have admitted dde forgot to put in for it! Then she never came back to get us a 2nd cup of coffee. Busy at times but it only takes 10 seconds to pour coffee & the mugs are extremely small! Seems she catered to larger tables (bigger tips)! Way too expensive for the poor service. Prices on menu online are not updated“

“Outstanding restaurant! (and we do a lot of our dining in NYC!) Local 63 is an oasis in Watertown, CT in a variety of ways. The food is creative (even when the dish SOUNDS traditional). The chicken fried steak (hard to even find in New England) is outstanding. The salads were awesome: perfectly dressed with great crunch and freshness. The Cassoulet (originally a French farmhouse dish) with chicken, in-house sausage, and white beans cooked to perfection is something you will not find in many other places. Great bar--friendly atmosphere and great for large groups and celebrations. This is a hidden gem with excellent service and owners who obviously care! I will go back and bring many other guests here when I have a chance.“
