Some Kind Words from Customers

“This is literally my favorite restaurant in Connecticut. Everything is so good the staff are amazing and I’ve never eaten one thing i didn’t like”

“I only go here about twice a year, and it's amazing every time. Inventive American brasserie. The staff is always pleasant. Not a thing on the menu has ever come close to disappointing me. I would go more often if time allowed. Recommend The Chef's Plate, Steak Frites.with any of the salads and sides. Best calamari in the area.”

“Absolutely blown away by the food here. Creative and unique food dishes. I have never been to another restaurant like it. The specials are usually my go to since they aren’t around for long. I can’t say enough good things about this place. It’s a must try! You won’t be disappointed.”

“I met a friend here for lunch and hadn't been in so long. I forgot how amazing their food is. I got the fried chicken meal and it was to die for. Being gluten sensitive, they are able to accommodate that easily, and have separate fryers. Their food is like southern comfort food. Highly recommend. Food is better than most of the restaurants in West Hartford Center.”
