This review is based upon both those experiences. I'll start with the wings. People have been telling me for years that I needed to try the Kitchen Sink wings at Beachland Tavern . I finally made it, and I'm legit mad at myself for waiting. The Kitchen Sink wings are one of my favorite new-to-me flavors in recent years. They give you an option of a smoked wing or a more traditional wing prep. I couldn't resist the smoked, and you really tasted the smoke flavor. I assume they finished them in the fryer because the wings still had a good outer texture. The sauce was tangy, with a bit of heat and a bit of sweet. Amazing. They'll tell you the components of the Kitchen Sink sauce if you ask, but I don't want to ruin it for people who may want to guess. Don't wait like I did. When I went for a drink at Happy Hour, I had a good time with my friends. It wasn't especially busy. Also, I didn't think they had a top tier craft beer selection. I loved the wings. Happy hour was overall pretty good. 4.25 Stars

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 3/5 Value: 3.5/5 I have enjoyed the "Wings Over" franchise since 2003. The wings were bigger in those days at the Ithaca, NY location, and back then they still had ribs that were delicious and fell off the bone. Since moving to NYC in 2005 the only chance I have to experience their wings are when I visit my parents and go to the West Hartford location. This location is pretty small with hardly any parking and only one or two tables in the restaurant. It's more of a take out place. But the garlic parmesan wings are still very tasty. They have many other flavors too. Similar to Buffalo Wild Wings in terms of flavor options. They even have garlic parm and lemon pepper options for the fries too. I got take out today. A 14 wing group pack including fries cost me $29. The wings seem a little smaller than they were a few years ago, but still not bad.

I have gone back because I don't really know where else to get wings that are just plain buffalo. I…read moredon't like dirt wings from Timothy's - and I know those are really really good wings so I am not saying anything bad about those wings bc they're very good. I'm just saying, I just like really basic buffalo wings. Anyway, I really implored that they give more sauce on it and they've done a better job. So I improved my rating.

I am SO glad i did because this was hands down one of the best meals ive eaten in years. My girlfriend is pescatarian so we opted to have all vegan/vegetarian options and this omnivore did not miss meat at all. My favorite dish by far was the watermelon crudo which, to me, defied all space and time. The watermelon looked, felt, and tasted like a beautiful tuna. The flavours had a Vietnamese flair to them, including a chili crisp and fresh mint, and i was using the delicious and crispy fries to sop up the rest of the sauce. Everything we ate was incredible, flavourful, and beautiful to look at. The atmosphere was romantic and dreamy, a huge change from the pug filled cozy pub that it used to be as the corner pug. Service was lovely and they surprised us by bringing us champagne and a sweet note at the end. It was absolutely amazing and we felt so taken care of. I will be thinking of this place for a long time and cant wait to go back!

Very poor experience and bad food. Pricing options were very confusing, and complicated. The main…read morebuffet line they have out is $11.49 a pound, and then the meat behind the counter is $16.49. I took about a pound and a half from the buffet of the beef stew, chicken, rice, plantains, and tomato salad, and a cheese ball. Then I ordered separately the meat behind the counter. The more expensive meat that was supposed to be medium rare was incredibly gamy, hard to swallow and quite under seasoned. Not good at all. That was a waste. The beef stew was also under seasoned, the sauce lacked flavor, and taste. This was softer, it was fine meat but nothing that should be restaurant grade. The rice resembled a sea. Someone dumped way too much salt in, it was dreadful. The tomato salad was not salted, and had no dressing, a lackluster item. The plantains were not crisp as they should be. The cheese bread ball, a cheese flavored rock. Worthless. Lastly to the chicken which was the brightest spot, it was nice and soft and juicy, perhaps the only good thing on that whole buffet line. And this didnt come close to cutting it for me. As if I wanted more I would have to keep on paying and I was already $30 down. I never intended to spend so much. The pricing seems fair but once you start eating, you will go though plates and have to stop yourself before the bill is in the $40 plus dollar range. It makes no sense why they charge per pound and not just do one charge and it be ayce. Charging 11.49 for rice or beans, at 11.49 at the same price as the beef stew is ridiculous. The sauces that they have also are all mass produced processed junk. They didn't taste fresh. Terrible waste of money, won't be back find literally any other restaurant to go to. Another thing, this restaurant had flags around there store, I believe for the world cup, you would think this is fine and dandy however in the front of the store a freaking NORTH KOREA flag was hung up, and get this, it went right next to a Russia, China & Iran flag!!! This is a massive naivety, even though I don't believe it was deliberate it is unacceptable.

Honestly, I'm surprised I hadn't reviewed it sooner given how many times we've been. The only downside is the parking situation.
