Bacon cheeseburger w/ onion rings, at the Brass Horse Cafe in Barkhamsted, CT.
Tom D.

We've gotten takeout a couple of times from the Brass Horse Cafe in the past few months, the food is mediocre, at best. Ordered Bourbon wings twice (one time "naked", the other time breaded). The chicken was dry on our last order, and both times the wings seemed to be drenched in nothing more than maple syrup. Burger was lackluster also, no flavor. Nachos, the same. And what's up with not accepting CC's ?? This is 2021, saying you have an ATM on the premises doesn't cut it. It's Bush League. Can't see a reason for a return visit, it's a shame cause we live in town. Guess you have to have a few drinks there before you can really "enjoy" the food ?

Available parking is pretty sparse, be prepared to either wait or park on the grass. Customers all over the place, the shop is very small. Folks in line out the door. They have a nice little prepared foods fridge and a small freezer with assorted items. After a short wait I made it to the seafood case. Bob the owner was extremely polite and very helpful, offering help and suggestions for my selections. I picked up large sea scallops, ahi tuna, Scottish salmon, blue crab salad and some smoked salmon. All very tasty and as fresh as it gets unless you catch it yourself. But, be prepared to pay a premium price for any seafood bought from Cold Harbor. The nice lady at the register noticed that I was a Veteran and said they give a 15% Veterans discount on some, not all items with proof of service. VFW card, VA medical card, etc. which was awesome and made my overall experience even better! Bottom line is I'll be back to Cold Harbor for all my seafood needs. The quality of their products and great service is definitely worth the price!

The Harbor Sampler was excellent, the mussel pot had a unique curry broth that we really enjoyed, and the New England IPAs and Frozé hit the spot. The clam chowder had great flavor and a large amount of crab but it could've been a little warmer and a few oyster crackers would've been nice. If you're looking for fresh seafood, oysters, harbor views, and great service, Shell & Bones is absolutely worth the stop.

They said they could not guarantee the patio. But we were lucky to be able to sit outside anyway. The water is magical at night. More importantly, they have a very interesting bar program and delicious food. I got the new Message in a Bottle cocktail, which was clarified, so there is mango, lime, rum, orgeat, curaçao and milk... but it was as clear as an old-fashioned. Lots of flavors going on and they balanced extreme well. Very delicious, vacation-like, and sophisticated. The bread here was also delicious as well the butter and the black salt it was served with. They have a whole vegan menu, but there were also some vegetarian things on the main menu so I stick with that. The beet salad was incredible. Huge portion, and some very delicious blue cheese which was in the dressing. It was very filling and I still had some to take back to my hotel. The wild mushroom "bolognese" (meatless) was tasty too, but it had a little too much of an herb (thyme?). Otherwise the meal was so very delicious and the setting was beautiful. And this is coming from a San Diegan who is used to waterfront views and good food!

We really believe West Shore Seafood has taken some big steps upward. This spring and summer we've…read moreenjoyed some very tasty foods, dishes prepared and served with a consistency that we felt had been lacking a bit over the last year or two. For us, the "star" dish is shrimp and grits, in large part because these folks know how to prepare cheesy grits. They are cooked just right, not dry, not runny, very flavorful, and supporting a bed of big, yummy fried shrimp with a sprinkling of spinach on top. An excellent dish! But, so are the fish and chips, the French fries (they cook 'em crispy they way we prefer), and ... well, we haven't been disappointed at all. The young servers are friendly, the bar offers up some good, sweet treats, and the seating is under a well-protected tent outdoors and indoors since they are now a year-round operation. We think the prices are fair given the quality of food and the overall dining experience, which we'd label casual, or perhaps informal. Please note the parking area can get very crowded especially on weekends, so be prepared.

My husband and I enjoy dining here but it's mainly because of the outdoor atmosphere and more…read morecasual eatery. You have an open air tent seating option along with a field seating option that is family and dog friendly. Expect a longer wait time for food. Truly, their fried options are the best options on the menu and that shouldn't be the case. Their cocktails are not consistent, but when they're made well, they are great. The food is expensive for what you get, for instance, 1 small cod fillet for fish and chips. As I write, the more I realize perhaps it's a solid 3.5 stars. For an outdoor dining establishment in the summer, it hits the spot.
