I'm back for my last Tuesday Night Trivia of the year. The restaurant is located at 623 Main St. in…read moreManchester, CT. While technically a sports bar, the food and drink quality is way above a normal sports bar. Right off the bat they serve waters. For mg first drink, I'm having a Black Manhattan made with Elijah Craig Small Batch, Carpano Antica, black walnut bitters and filthy cherries. Filthy Black Cherries are premium, all-natural Italian Amarena cherries, slow-cooked in copper pots and widely recognized as a top-tier garnish for whiskey and tequila cocktails, such as Old Fashioneds and Manhattans. Known for a sweet-tart flavor profile, they are a favorite among professional bartenders for their firm texture and rich syrup. The Manhattan is a classic, spirit-forward cocktail made with whiskey (traditionally rye), sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters, stirred with ice and strained into a chilled glass, typically garnished with a maraschino cherry or a lemon twist. It's known for being strong, sophisticated, and balanced, with a mix of spicy, sweet, and bitter notes. This is real good. It is nicely garnished and perfectly balanced. I think the bartender is the owner. For out first appetizer, we are getting the Fornarelli's Meatballs. These are these of their "famous" meatballs made with their signature marinara sauce with fresh basil and mozzarella. These are good! Wow! We are next getting the Onion Rings which are their signature house-made onion rings fried golden brown with chipotle aioli. Yep. These are good! I like the sauce! For our third appetizer, we are getting the Sicilian Calamari which is fresh calamari and hot cherry peppers fried with their signature marinara sauce. These are tasty! I love the sauce! Sprinkle that lemon! For my next drink, I'm having the Pearly Old Fashioned made with Maker's Mark, filthy cherries, Cara Cara orange, raw sugar and Angostura bitters. The Manhattan is a classic, spirit-forward cocktail made with whiskey (traditionally rye), sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters, stirred with ice and strained into a chilled glass, typically garnished with a maraschino cherry or a lemon twist. It's known for being strong, sophisticated, and balanced, with a mix of spicy, sweet, and bitter notes. Oh yeah! This is well garnished and perfectly balanced. For my entree, I'm having the Chicken Piccata made with chicken breast sautéed with artichokes and capers in a white wine sauce and chefs choice of starch and veggies. This is delicious! I love the sauce! For dessert, I'm having the Nonna's Tiramisu. This is their authentic tiramisu recipe just like Nonna used to make! We are also getting the Covonut Gelato Truffle made with coconut gelato, mango sorbet center enrobed by chocolate and coconut flakes. This is the biggest chunk of tiramisu I've ever had! What a great meal here!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish…read more I ordered wings, stuffed salmon with mixed vegetables, and roasted potatoes. The wings arrived with multiple visible feathers still attached--not just tiny feather remnants, but actual feathers that made it obvious the chicken had not been properly cleaned before cooking. (Enough to tell what color the chicken was before being slaughtered ). That alone was unacceptable. The stuffed salmon entrée was even worse. The presentation was unappetizing, the salmon was undercooked, and the stuffing was so poorly prepared that it was difficult to tell what it was supposed to be. The mixed vegetables were completely overcooked, soggy, and overwhelmed with chopped garlic, making them inedible. The roasted potatoes didn't resemble roasted potatoes at all. To make matters worse, the vegetables had apparently not been drained before being packaged. The entire takeout container was filled with approximately a centimeter of watery liquid mixed with lemon butter, leaving the salmon, vegetables, and potatoes completely floating in water and mushy by the time I opened it. What made the experience even more frustrating was how the situation was handled. When I called, I was initially told the owner was refusing to issue a refund and would only remake the meal. The bar manager was very pleasant. She then told me that I should have requested the vegetables on the side because "a lot of people do that to prevent that from happening." If this is a known issue with how the restaurant packages its food, customers shouldn't have to know to request a workaround--the restaurant should package meals properly from the start. I called back a second time hoping to speak directly with the owner. I was first told the owner hadnt arrived yet. The third time I called, I was told he wasn't available. The inconsistency made it feel like my concerns were being avoided rather than addressed. I wasn't looking for free food. I even offered to return it. I simply expected a meal that was prepared safely, packaged properly, and a business that would stand behind its product when legitimate concerns were raised. Unfortunately, I didn't receive any of those things. I don't recommend eating in or ordering to go! If you are unsatisfied, you'll be told you can't get a refund.

Officially known as The Shed Bar & Cafe, this place has been around for a looooong time. The…read morebuilding is nondescript, but the interior definitely has charisma. I would characterize The Shed as a local bar. On a recent visit, it seemed everyone knew each other. Patrons were friendly, and I got to know many, including the owner, Mike. Mike also wields a spatula in the kitchen. On a recommendation, I tried a "smashburger". Served on a brioche bun, it was excellent. Perfectly cooked w a nice charbroiled flavor. The bun did not fall apart, an important consideration when inhaling a burger. Fries were also excellent. Barmaid Mimi handled the crowd well. And there was a pretty decent crowd for a Tuesday night. I'm a fan, and will definitely be back. 4 stars!

I'm back! Welcome to Carmine's! The restaurant is located on 389 Main St. in East Hartford. It's…read morecold in here! The temperature has got to be 55 degrees (the way Carmine likes it). I live the nice music in here. It's very livel! It's Happy Hour from 3-7 on weekdays (food) and all day for drinks on Monday! The kitchen here makes everything built fresh, from scratch, and all homemade. The appetizers, pasta, entrees and desserts combine old-world traditional Italian flavor with a modern flair for presentation, and the freshest ingredients around. Menu staples like calamari, chicken milanese, fettucine carbonara and ravioli are paired with unique recipes like pappardelle with sausage and tenderloin steaks. They have staffed their kitchen with a dream team of local chefs that ensure our quality does not waiver and our kitchen is always OPEN! Not every place can say that! For my first drink, I'm having the Manhattan's Creek made with Knob Creek bourbon, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth and Angostura bitters. Wait a minute! These are the same ingredients as a Perfect Manhattan! This is chilled, well balanced and nicely garnished. I like it! For my first food item, I'm having a House Salad (small, off-menu version). This is made with a spring mix including basil, tomatoes, julienned carrots, cucumbers and a red wine vinaigrette dressing. This is nice and fresh! I love the dressing! I like the nice cloth napkin as well as a disposable one. The bartender is the nicest one I've ever met. For my next item, I'm having the Rigatoni Marinara. The is made with rigatoni and house marinara sauce. It's low cholesterol and guilt-free (for me). This is steaming hot and delicious! Nice portion size too! For my next item, I'm having a cup of soup. This is broccoli cheddar with potato. Oh yeah! I love those oyster crackers! This is yummy! For my next drink, I'm having the Pratt n Whiskey made with Woodford Reserve bourbon, sweet vermouth, red wine and sour mix. I love it! It's shaken well and tastes great! For my next food item, I'm having the Carmine's Secret Tenderloins. These are actually pan seared caramelized CHICKEN tenderloins made with wine, olive oil, cracked black pepper, kosher salt, shredded Parmesan and a VERY special secret sauce. I can eat this with little regret. This should be interesting! This is quite good! I do like that creamy sauce! For my dessert, I'm having the Toasted Almond. This is soaked in Amaretto layered with light custard and topped with crushed almond. Oh yeah! Look at the presentation! This is fantastic! What a great meal here!

I read some of the reviews about this spot and had to come and check it out for myself…read more When I entered Roma's for lunch, there was one other person at the bar and then a gentleman setting up TV's behind the bar. He came over with a Menu after taking my drink order. I decided to go with their honey bbq wings, New England clam chowder and Hawaiin Burger. The guy behind the bar was friendly and kept striking up conversation with myself and the other gentleman. My wings came out and I must say, these golden temptations weren't just slightly crisp but met my tastebuds with a sweetness about them, that when dipped into the blue cheese; only set off a powerful bite that was creamy and a bit tangy. I had fun with the rollercoaster of taste upon these wings. As for my Clam Chowder. It was chunky and had much going on. Clams came packed with a degree of seasonings that started out good but ended in a bad way for the chowder was a bit too salty. This chowder would be the perfect start to. any meal in the winter, had it not been for the saltiness of it all; taking away from what could be its own star of a chowder show. Now my fries, bliss in a bite with just the right amount of salt upon them and a crispiness to be reckoned with. Even the burger made my mouth happy with its freshness on the beef; made to order. Didn't taste like frozen pot luck beef at all. Seasoned just right and the pineapples, along with onion crisps held enough flavor to transcend this burger into the next phase of its life...The bun was toasted both inside and out, holding the components together for a nice barrage of burger bliss. Not bad at all!

I had a really disappointing experience at Roma Bar and Grill. I ordered a burger and it came out…read morecompletely soggy, like it had been sitting around way too long. On top of that, it was undercooked in the middle, which made it pretty unappetizing and honestly concerning. I also tried the calamari, which I would strongly recommend avoiding. It was rubbery, greasy, and lacked any real flavor. Definitely not worth the price. Overall, the food quality was far below expectations, and I wouldn't go back. Plus I saw some roaches by the bathroom

I got a burger and tried a bite of their fried fish sandwich. Both were pretty bland, not bad! Just not something I'd go out of my way to get in the future. The drinks were pretty strong and the green tea shots were delicious! We ended up being there while a game was on so it was definitely LOUD lol. The vibe switches up but it seems to always be a good time lately. The service was really friendly! Our waitress was nice and attentive.

Matty Ds is one of the only places in Hartford that you can go to and there's a 75% chance that you…read morewill enjoy your night. Why 75% you ask. Not too many places left in Hartford that you can go out to and have a good time and it not end in a shooting. With that being said, the staff capitalizes on that and basically gives service with an attitude, over charge and let you know if you don't like it you can go else where. I've personally heard them talk about patrons. Last night I went in for drinks, not nightlife drinks but sit and have a drink and a bite. Lights still on kind of drink. Their food is something to rave about. I ordered A drink and was charged $20+ for one drink. I asked why and was told that it was a double (which I am certain it wasn't). The kick is that I didn't order a double. I asked for my drink. I did't specify if it was on the rocks or anything. I ordered my drink because it's a gamble to order a cocktail. It depends on who is making it and you might actually get the cocktail you ordered versus the bartender's interpretation of what the cocktail actually is. My order included my drink, 4 cocktails (for my friends) and an appetizer and my bill was almost $150. When I look, the added gratuity was over $20+. It's mind boggling that I am paying as much for gratuity as my nonexistent double but the service was subpar. The sad part is that I can't even say I wont be back because Matty D's is a part of our community. It is a safe space for many. It is a space where we can go alone and guaranteed to run into people you know if you are from the area. It is a place where you can enjoy a good vibe and make it home safe. So if anything comes from this review let it be to retrain your bartenders or get new ones. Get them certified so they can learn how to create a proper cocktail according to the State Alcohol Association and understand the importance of customer service.
