They fry to order. It's nothing like fresh fried fish. Mrs. Johnsons sold Johnson's fish market to Paul over 27 years ago. Initially it was a hit or miss. They have improved greatly. I respect how Paul kept everything inside Johnson Fish Market the same. He never changed the ambiance. When you are in the Northend of Hartford C,T. Please stop into Johnson fish market.

It doesn't seem like you should be able to execute paella this good in a Food Hall where people are expecting quick turnaround on their meals, but I thought my Valencia Paella was very good. Per the menu, it had shrimp, clams, octopus, squid, peas and seasoned rice. The clams and different sizes of shrimp were most visible. I especially loved all the baby sized shrimp. The seafood had good texture and everything was well seasoned. People who are hardcore paella purists may say, "yeah, but it didn't have the crispy rice parts that meet the pan (the socarrat)." I wouldn't expect that out of a Food Hall paella place, but if that's what you're looking for, you may need to find a nice sit down Spanish or Portuguese restaurant and wait a while for that to be cooked. 4.5 Stars.

I went there last night with my family and found the experience to be very average overall. We…read moreordered a variety of dishes, including lobster, oysters, swordfish, a seafood hotpot, and even a regular hamburger, and all of us agreed that the food was just average in taste. The atmosphere, however, was very nice and had a festive, holiday feel. The staff was friendly, including our waiter, Chad. At one point, we considered changing our reservation to another restaurant in West Hartford Center for our party of six. We then learned that cancelling the reservation would result in a $25 per person charge unless it was cancelled at least 24 hours in advance. Based on this policy alone, I would not return to this restaurant. While I understand the reasoning behind it--and recognize that some other restaurants have similar policies--it left a negative impression and was enough to deter me from going back.

The wine selection is also strong, with plenty of good options to pair with the meal. Overall, a great Italian spot with great food, service, and atmosphere. I would happily go back.

It was moist, chocolatey, delicious and HUGE! See the attached photo.

Bread and butter to start, and ordered an assortment of Balkan items as an appetizer, which came with a traditional bread that was fresh and warm. Various meats were all tasty, as was the slaw. I ordered the assorted seafood and pasta. Wow! Excellent dish. Loaded with seafood and perfectly cooked spaghetti, in a well done red sauce. My wife loved her eggplant parmigiana. Sister-in-law had the salmon and veggies and said the salmon was a bit over-cooked but was really full with flavor. A friend gad a fish dish which she said was really good. Portions were all very large. Clean, comfortable space, with local photos (that were theme appropriate). Server very attentive and eager to please. Cappuccinos -- 3 of them -- looked great and my coffee was hot and quite strong (but I like strong coffee). Nice lunch at a reasonable price.

The clam chowder was just as good, thick and loaded with flavor and ingredients in every bite.

For the main, the paella was -- rich, loaded with seafood (shrimp, scallops, calamari, mussels, clams), and cooked perfectly.

Max Fish used to be my favorite restaurant. I love fish, and I felt they always made fish front and…read morecenter to everything. They used to have "simply prepared" on the menu that was just the fish, with seasonings and complementary sides. That's gone from the menu. It was always perfectly prepared and complimentary to whatever fish you were having. Last night, that changed for me. I have noticed over my last few visits a change in the restaurant. At first, I thought it was just my tastes changing, but last night proved me wrong. I had the "North Atlantic Swordfish Saltimbooca". The description was "Proccuitto, mozzaella cheese, sage mascarpone, white polenta". Polenta is usually soft, with the fish on top. This was polenta soup, with the fish literally swimming in it. In addition, it was greasy. There was a lot of oil around the side. And on top of that, the mozzarella formed a rather nasty hard cheese coating on the fish that I removed to the side with my fork. It was one of the most unappetizing things I've had in a long time. The swordfish was completely lost; no flavor at all. After a few bites, I gave up on it. I also noticed that drinks have gotten smaller. I ordered a martini. It used to be quite generous (it is a $16 drink after all). The glass last night was much smaller, at the same price. The wine was good, but that was about it. VERY DISAPPOINTING. I should have gone with the Fish and Chips! Hard to mess that up.
