Anyway, we enjoy the lively atmosphere and the simple yet appreciated beer/drink specials. We typically order food off the expansive George's food menu - this time a chicken parm sub. From my experiences, ervice from the wait staff is always excellent.

I had Faroe Island Salmon, was cooked perfectly, melt in my mouth goodness. The Gorgonzola mushroom sauce complemented the dish well. My wife had the 14oz Strip, the steak was tender & tasty. And my Mother In Law had the Maple Chicken, she loved it. Appetizers were Home Runs too, we all were blown away from how awesome the savory Lollipop Lamp Chops were. The owner takes pride in his cuisine and business, it's obvious. The rest of the staff was also personable & attentive, this place is simply a Winner. It's a "Hidden Gem" in small-town Burlington, CT. We're looking forward to the next time we drop into the Enclave Grille.

Good Friends, Great Food, and Historic Charm!…read more The Village at Buckingham Ladies Lunch Bunch met on July 3 for our favorite monthly first-Friday tradition! 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! Our lunch bunch is already counting down the days until we return in October to try Lisa's new fall menu in the cozy fireplace room! If you love a quintessential New England village that is walkable, historic, and brimming with charm, you have to check out this spot!

She checked on us often, made sure everything was perfect, and was especially wonderful with our niece, which meant so much to our family. 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.

I opted for the Red Right Hand, which was a rum based drink with almond, citrus and spice notes. It was incredible!! We sat at the bar, which had ample seating, and there were also tables and two lounge areas in the back. The bartenders were helpful and have no problem recommending drinks based on your likes.

The textured walls are gorgeous and give the space a style it was definitely missing before. As usual, the happy hour menu never disappoints. The Pomjito is a personal favorite.. refreshing, light, and not too sweet. We also got the oysters and mussels, both solid. The mussel sauce was unique compared to a typical tomato base, which we really appreciated. For my entrée, though, I was disappointed to see that the tuna salad I always order had completely changed. It used to be an arugula salad with Asian flavors and the tuna served on top. Now it It's a Niçoise salad, and the tuna is awkwardly placed on the side. Nothing about the tuna tasted like it did before. I'm usually a sucker for ahi tuna, but this was honestly one of the most disappointing ahi dishes I've ever had. It felt totally incohesive with the salad next to it. I really wish they didn't change the menu so frequently. Once I finally find an entrée I genuinely look forward to, it disappears. That said, we'll still be back for the great happy hour food and solid drinks. Now it's just a matter of finding a menu item I like... and hoping they keep it.

Everything was fresh and the tomatoes crisp. The place itself is ok. There are two rooms and the room with the bar and entertainment was extremely stuffy and warm, the other room felt like Antarctica. Bathrooms were clean with 3 stalls, although one was out of order.
