We went on a friday night to listen to a friend play guitar. The food was great, but the best part was that they actually have HUMMELS hot dogs. To quote my brother - "if they don't have Hummels, get a burger". Being a New Haven native, i was baffled when I couldn't find Hummels in any grocery stores around here. (I finally found them at stop n shop in Simsbury). We had to order our food at rhe bar, but the bartender was attentive and quick to take the order, then brought it to our table. It was a decent experience. I'd go back

She made the entire experience so memorable with her kindness, attentiveness, and positive attitude.

Even though the restaurant was busy, she never made us feel rushed and always had a smile on her face. Thank you, Alexzandria, for helping make such an important celebration even more special. We truly appreciate your excellent service especially since you let us know as we were leaving you were newer to the restaurant.

The coffee was also very good and complemented the meal nicely. The restaurant has a comfortable seating area and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and enjoy your meal. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great spot for breakfast or brunch. The home fries were average compared to the rest of the meal, but they didn't take away from the overall experience. The quality of the omelet, good coffee, friendly service, and pleasant environment made for a very satisfying visit. Overall, a great local breakfast spot, and I'd definitely come back to try more items from the menu.

Actually the dining area is small, and the feeling in the room is almost like you're in the basement of a house. Aluminum gutters as crown molding is an unusual touch! The service was great. Very attentive. Food did not come out fast. Dinner was fun. Cheesesteak was good. The sandwich was a bit messy to eat but that might be expected. Custom chicken sandwich was not quite as stated on the menu. The "tempura" fried chicken was more like a frozen patty than a tempura battered piece. I had a fun dinner. Two chili dogs and fries! Have not ordered that for dinner since Lum's was down the street! My only criticism is that they were not on a New England style roll. (Buttered & grilled). My fries were cold. The tater tots are the way to go The real surprise of the night was the bottle of root beer. It tasted like the real thing and not the big brand sugar water! We finished the night with lava cake and cannoli, which were ok. The ice cream served with the cake was the winner!

They pride themselves with offering gluten free options and an awareness of food allergies. This location is located in the Shops of Farmington. There are plenty of parking especially out back by the red barn. The restaurant was large and spacious. There was a huge U-shaped bar. They also have a nice patio area with plenty of seating and a fire pit; this would be great when the weather is nice. My family and I had lunch on Saturday. It was busy but not overwhelming. Our server was busy but super attentive and friendly. I noticed it was very kid-friendly since there were other kids there and they had a kids menu. Their menu was vast menu and I wanted to try so many food items. I started off with a hibiscus margarita; oh my, one of the best I've had, it was a 5/5. We also had the asian calamari; it's fried battered squid, banana peppers, and a side of sweet chili. This was mouthwatering good and it was a 4/5. I had a cesar half salad which was toothsome; the dressing, parmesan, croutons, and salad ratio was perfection. My main entree, I had the prosciutto wrapped cod; that is baked cod, wrapped with prosciutto, served over parmesan risotto and broccoli with lemon butter. The showstopper was the parmesan risotto, I could eat a gallon of that lol. The cod was okay, it needed more flavor but the prosciutto definitely helped with the flavor. Overall the cod fish was 3.5/5. Next time, I want to try their Thai sesame salmon, apricot shrimp risotto, pulled pork Mac and cheese, Bolognese, crab rangoon dip, and firecracker shrimp, to name a few. I was so torn but I chose a bit of a healthier option due to my New Year resolution. I loved that they had the total calories next to the menu items. My family and I look forward to going back soon!

Would love to visit this place again and try more next time.

We gathered at the wonderful Lisa's Crown & Hammer in Collinsville, a charming riverfront village just a few miles from our neighborhood. What a treat to meet our delightful new neighbor from Cavendish- Kendra Z! This popular restaurant and pub operates out of the historic 1850s railroad freight station of the Collins Axe Company. It sits beautifully amidst repurposed brick factory buildings that now house quaint antique shops, art galleries, and boutiques. Inside, you step back in time with a cozy, industrial-chic setting complete with exposed brick walls, timber wood beams, and a fireplace patio for the cooler months. It is the perfect place to begin or end a walk along the scenic Farmington River, utilizing the Rails-to-Trails path. ‍‍ The food from their scratch kitchen never disappoints! They focus on elevated, comfort pub grub using plenty of fresh, locally sourced ingredients. A huge shoutout to our wonderful waitress (pictured!) who gave us truly excellent service! Our Top Crown & Hammer Recommendations: * The Towering Truffle Burger or Lisa's Amazing Crown Sliders * The Vermonter - Packed with turkey, cheddar, apple slices, and bacon * Perfectly cooked Fish Tacos or a classic Reuben Sandwich * Mediterranean Salmon Salad with lemon dressing (a personal favorite!) * Crispy Cauliflower, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Truffle Parm Fries * A refreshing glass of Citizen Cider to wash it all down!

It's been a few years since I've dined at Market Place of Avon.

They have a beautiful, spacious interior, with such a warm feel from all of the exposed wood. In the warmer months their outdoor patio is open. I started with the White Sangria, this was refreshing and lightly sweet, I enjoyed picking the tiny apple pieces afterwards. For the app we got the Brussel Sprouts. These were crispy, with goat cheese, crushed pecans and dates. These were excellent! The roasted beet salad was a bit odd. I couldn't find a single beet. It wasn't bad, it had a ton of kale. The winner was Ahi Tuna Bowl. This had rice, avocado, cucumber, edamame and tuna, topped with sriracha. This was flavorful, tasty and a generous portion. I would return here again.

The steak was cooked a bit too well for my liking, but wasn't tough so it's fine. If I could recommend one item to get and one to skip for sure: get the shumai (like 3 servings) and skip the lycheetini. A good time overall.

As soon as you start to stray into other dishes, the restaurant starts to lose its appeal. A buffalo chicken wrap was drowning in sauce. My lobster roll, which I came here specifically for based on other reviews, arrived at the table and I started laughing my head off. The bun was maybe at best 2/3 the size of a hot dog bun and had probably half a chicken lobster worth of lobster... it at that. I doubt it even reached 4oz, and with a side of fries, market price was $30. I felt completely ripped off. I've gone to Abbots at the shore of the Sound, and their roll cost the same but was about double the contents and I didn't leave hungry. $30 and I was lucky that I ordered an appetizer to fill in the gap in my stomach. Indoors is dark and not really inviting, but the patio was quite nice. Initially one server was covering half a dozen tables so service was quite slow, but when a couple others showed up to take the slack, things started moving for everyone. Overall... if you want a fried seafood platter-- it's great. But anything else... look elsewhere.

But they mismanaged a tournament which resulted in getting out an hour after our tee time.

When we told the starter he just said "wow" very rudely and sarcastically, no sense of customer relationships whatsoever.
