    Lox bagel
    Candie G.

    This is a great little local café in old Wethersfield. The prices are inexpensive. There is dine in seats and also some outdoor seats. My friend had a bagel with lox and I had a full egg breakfast with hash potatoes and mushrooms and spinach. They also make burgers on some nights. Very affordable. I would definitely come back.

    I ordered an Atomic Bomb breakfast burrito for takeout from Aroma Bistro in Old Wethersfield before an all day meeting. It was ready when I arrived and still hot. The burrito was large and suitable for sharing. It had grilled egg, Irish bangers, home fries, sautéed onions and peppers and a special sauce. It was good and I'd order it again. The onions and peppers were cooked, but not overly so and that provided a nice contrasting texture. I would have a preferred if the yolk was a bit less cooked and the potatoes were more cooked and seasoned, but the burrito was still good. I didn't eat there, but Aroma had a nice outdoor seating area with umbrellas. I'll definitely be back to try other things.

    Breakfast all day! Cute little breakfast & lunch shop in the heart of Old Wethersfield. Friendly welcoming staff. Plenty of outside dining for warm weather. Several 2 top tables inside along with 1 four top. And two comfy chairs at the front. Plenty of breakfast sandwiches, Burritos and Platters to choose from. And I hear they have Great Burgers for lunch along with many sandwiches and a few salads We had a late breakfast my littlest had an overeasy edd with white toast and my older child had a toasted sesame bagel with cream cheese. I opted for the Pot of Gold sandwich on an everything bagel topped with cheddar cheese, Irish banners & grilled onions. Very filling and tasty. We also got a side of homefries as my older one stated delicious but needs to be spiced up like yours Mommy. These seemed to be just simply seasonal with salt and pepper. What took me so long to stop in here. Can't wait to come back and try the burgers!

    Small cafe with a wide menu of breakfast and lunch foods. I came with my parents on a weekend for breakfast and the place was packed I got a breakfast burrito and a vanilla latte and both were phenomenal. It took a long time to get our food though. I'd recommend looking up the menu and ordering in advance Have a solid drink menu as well Both indoor and outdoor seating. The place itself is very basic. There is nothing special about the decor. 8.5

    Aroma after dark is a must try. The burgers are delicious and if they have the meatball special it's definitely a must try. With a friendly smiling staff you can't go wrong with Aroma.

    I took out a couple of XL Buritos from here for breakfast. They were large and extremely filling. I even had to skip lunch, and have a light dinner. Big daddy was my favorite burrito. Holy cow burrito was good as well.

    Cute cafe in old Wethersfield, CT. It's not a big place but it is located where there is a decent amount of parking. I got the ACME Crew Burrito. It had 2 eggs, home fries aroma sauce, American cheese, applewood bacon and sautéed peppers. I was served fast and politely. I was a little disappointed in it. I think the sauce was a little overwhelming. It seemed ketchup based which I'm not a fan of with my breakfast. My bacon was also undercooked. I don't need it crispy but not rubbery. The home fries were ok. If I return I'll be leaning towards the eggwhiches to try and maybe a fresh muffin. They do serve breakfast and lunch from 12-2pm. Staff wear mask.

    One year later and I'm ashamed we haven't been here more!! We live so close to OW but typically only visit with a purpose -- that purpose needs to be bagel sandwiches from Aroma Bistro more often!!

    My wife and I recently visited Prime Burger and had a great experience. I ordered a burger with…read moreblue cheese and sweet potato fries, while my wife had the Butcher Burger with regular fries. The food was delicious, and the burgers were packed with flavor. The sweet potato fries were very crispy and delicious. I would get the same meal again as would my wife. What really stood out was the outstanding service. Throughout our meal, several staff members checked in to make sure everything was good and asked if we needed anything. The attention and hospitality made us feel very welcome. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Prime Burger. In fact, I've already been back and will continue to return.

    Right away, the service stood out. Friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating without hovering…read more They knew the menu and let us enjoy the experience. We started with the chicken empanadas. Crispy on the outside, packed with well-seasoned chicken inside. Good spice, not overpowering. Came with a salsa and a ketchup-mayo style sauce, both worked, but the salsa had a little more life to it. Before that, warm ciabatta hit the table with a house-made dipping sauce. Oil-based with garlic, blue cheese, and a few other layers going on. The blue cheese gave it a subtle kick without taking over. Nice way to start. Now to the burger, the Luger Burger. I'm assuming it's a nod to the classic steakhouse, but didn't get full confirmation. The sauce is made in-house: slightly sweet, a little acidic (I picked up balsamic), smooth texture. It's a good sauce, it just needed a bigger voice on this burger. The burger itself is large. And I mean large. Menu said thick-cut bacon... that wasn't the case. Not a dealbreaker, but noticeable. Now I'm going to get a little critical, because this is where it matters. The burger needed more salt. There's a lot of beef here, and it can absolutely handle it. Even something as simple as salting the tomato would've helped bring things together. If the bacon had actually been thick-cut, that alone might've bridged the gap. This was a very beef-forward burger, to the point where the supporting flavors barely showed up. The patty felt a bit too tightly packed, which gave it a denser bite and let the beef dominate the whole experience. A looser grind or lighter hand forming it would've made it more tender and allowed everything else to come through. It also needed more acid. The Luger sauce was applied lightly, so either lean into it more or bring in something else, a pickle, a sharper onion, something to cut through the richness and balance it out. The bun was soft, nicely toasted, and held up well, which isn't easy with a burger this size. Fries were hand-cut, properly salted, and exactly what you want. No complaints there. Overall, this is a great spot. Clean, comfortable, nicely decorated. Staff was excellent. Food was good, with flashes of being really good. With a few small tweaks, mainly balance and execution on the burger, this could easily jump to the next level.

    Food: 3.8/5 Service: 3.4/5…read moreAmbiance: 3.7/5 Value: 3.6/5 The Charles is a nice upscale restaurant on Main Street in Wethersfield which opened in 2020 and quickly made Connecticut magazine's list of best restaurants. It is inside an old house of some sort, so it has a charming ambiance. They have a small parking lot so the spaces are a bit tight. Then, although we were on time for our 8:15pm reservation, we found out that they didn't have a table for us on the main floor, which is bad because my parents have mobility issues and cannot climb stairs. They asked us if we would be ok waiting five or ten minutes. Sure, that was fine we said. The host was very reassuring and he let us know that the corner table near the fireplace was finishing up and he'd get it bussed promptly. So that was good. But after we sat down we experienced service issues. Many items were unavailable. No orrechiete. No crab cakes. No sirloin special. It was weird. We hadn't arrived that late, on a Saturday night, how could so many dishes be sold out/unavailable? We ended up going with the scotch egg $11 and butternut squash arancini balls $12 for appetizers, which were both great. The scotch egg was a decent size and came with a mini salad. The arancini balls were small, but the truffle gorgonzola fontina cheese filling was really nice. Entrees were not bad. My Berkshire pork chop cooked medium was tender enough and had decent flavor. My Dad's veal ribs over mac and cheese were really good. My Mom's wagyu burger was tasty and my sister's salad was satisfactory. However the cost of the additional protein to the salad seems high (Grilled Chicken +14 / Seared Salmon +16/ Grilled Shrimp +21 / Churrasco Steak +24). The drinks were well made, but took a while to get to us. The "Charles... In Charge!" with old forester bourbon, montenegro, spiced cherry bitters, luxardo $15 was a hit. My Dad enjoyed his $17 Manhattan made with Angel's Envy bourbon. My $11 FreeBird mocktail was refreshing. Yet, throughout the night we found it difficult to get our server's attention. All four dishes did not arrive simultaneously. We had to flag someone down for more silverware after the appetizers were cleared. Right at the end when we were ready to pay, she got tied up listening to a couple at a neighboring table tell her a story or something. This must have been quite a yarn because she was totally enrapt and oblivious to our needs. We started wondering whether our table was actually her responsibility or not. Finally she came by and we let her know we were done, no dessert or after dinner drinks, just the check and a few boxes for takeout please. This was a new restaurant that we hadn't tried before, and maybe I took a risk by booking it for my Dad's 89th birthday, which was supposed to be special. Our experience was okay, and maybe we'd go again in the future, but there were too many more ups and downs this evening than I would have liked for a special occasion. I am rounding up to four stars overall, even though on this particular evening I didn't think each individual component met that mark exactly.

Also, they always have an expansive draft beer list so it's fun to try new ones. They bring you a bowl of dill pickle slices to compliment the "burger" theme, but if I had one wish, it would be for Plan B to go back to the awesome pickle wedges from years ago. PS.
