It's located in the Old Avon Village plaza. There were plenty of parking. The interior was nice; it looked like it used to be a frozen yogurt spot. The hostess/waitress was nice. Unfortunately, there is no kids menu, but we were able to get a small bowl to share our noodles with our toddlers. The food came out slowly, considering we were only 1 out of 3 tables. We ordered pork and shrimp spring rolls as an appetizer; it was very good and fresh with the peanut butter sauce. For my meal, I ordered the Pho House Special; it's $20.95 and has rice noodles, medium rare beef, brisket, and meatballs. This bowl was huge! The flavor was good but the broth was very oily. I added more hoison, chili oil, and siracha for more flavor. We didn't have any sauces and napkins, so we had to flag down the waitress a couple of times. Also, they never refilled our waters. I noticed the prices were very high compared to other Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. With everything factored together, I gave them 3.5 stars total.

After seeing the menu, I decided to try their chicken katsu instead while my fiancé tried the beef ramen. We also got two medium bubble teas. Both drinks came out first. For mediums, they were pretty small (especially with a $7 price tag). I will say though, my creme brûlée oreo tea was incredible. I absolutely loved the flavor and the oreo in it. Still pricey but at least it was good. My fiancé ramen came out shortly after and we weren't too impressed. The beef broth was a muted color which looked more like miso. He said the noodles were sticky and pretty soft. I waited about 15 minutes until my chicken katsu came out (we were the only ones in there so it wasn't busy) and it looked promising... Good crunch but seems like chicken thighs were used as there was a good amount of fat in it. It quickly became kinda inedible because of how much sauce was covering the whole dish. I'm a sauce girly and love my condiments, but this was just so excessive. I asked for a box to go and maybe my fiancé will finish it later lol. The girl was so sweet and even offered MORE sauce to go, but i quickly declined. Overall, may be back for the teas if it's payday. Would not try the food again.

The sandwich was supposed to come with bacon, but it was accidentally left off. Once I mentioned it, they brought it out on the side. I also ordered pancakes and added cream cheese and strawberries. The pancakes were just okay. nothing special, but not bad either. I enjoy trying different local spots whenever I'm in the area, so I always go in excited for the experience. Overall, this visit was decent. It was a little difficult finding this location at first, but there is a directory in the plaza that helps guide you to what you're looking for.

This choice was not made lightly, and it comes as a result of insurmountable challenges in maintaining adequate staffing in our kitchen, compounded by rising operational costs. Throughout our journey, our goal has always been to offer you an exceptional dining experience. Unfortunately, the challenges we have faced have made it increasingly difficult to maintain the standards that our guests deserve and expect. We know some of you will shake your heads and point to all of our faults. We've certainly had many but our greatest accomplishments, our three kids, deserve so much better than what we've been able to give them over the past year. We know some will question us for doing this on such short notice. Please know that we had no other choice. Without a kitchen staff we cannot operate the restaurant. We know that many of you will want to reach out to us to lend your support. We are taking this time to spend it with our family and catch-up on long overdue snuggles and hugs and memories. We hope that you do the same. Our son asked if we were sad that our dreams were over and we immediately responded and told him our dreams were standing right in front of us. We want to express our heartfelt thanks for your unwavering support and patronage. Your smiles, laughter, and loyalty have been the heart of our establishment and have inspired us every day. It has been an honor to serve you. We would like to offer to offer to replace any outstanding gift cards (excluding rewards balances) with a gift card from our sister location, Brewery Legitimus.

The owners of Legitimus Brewery in New Hartford, opened up this restaurant which serves New…read moreAmerican food, craft cocktails, and craft beer. It's located in the quaint and quintessential town, Collinsville, CT. It's situated right on the Farmington River and just steps away from the historic Collins Axe Company. We went on a Saturday for lunch; there were plenty of parking. Since it's winter, the patio area overlooking the river was closed; I can't wait to dine on there when it gets warmer. They didn't have high chairs yet, but we improvised and brought our baby carriage in. The place was lovely; I loved the emerald green chairs and the plants on the walls as decor. The bar looked classy too. Our server was friendly and attentive. We started off with the cheese board; for $16 it came with three cheeses, nuts, fig jam, mini pickles, and crostini. The cheeses were blue cheese, brie, and gruyere. The board was great and had a good amount of cheese; I just wished there were more crostini to hold all the cheeses. They had an awesome food and cocktail menu. I ordered the pomegranate margarita $14; it had pear juice, tequila, honey, and triple sec and it was a tasty drink. I've been following them on social media for a bit and their short rib dish ($28) looked delicious. I had to get it for lunch even though it's a dinner entree. It's Legitimus beer braised short rib, carrots, onions, over garlic mashed potatoes and cheddar. The short rib melted in my mouth, the au jus was flavorful, and the mashed potatoes tied it all together. It was a 5 star dish. The ambiance, food, and service were 5 stars. The prices were a little high but you pay for the quality. They make their own syrups and juice their own lemons & limes for their cocktails. I look forward to going back and trying more food and drinks. I wish them much success in this awesome little town!
