    Amazing little place with great service and great food, and a chill ambiance. I'll will be visiting this place again. Fair priced.

    Lan L.

    Service was great. The woman in the front was super friendly and attentive. They say you eat with yours eyes first and this place didn't disappoint in the presentation, the food itself tasted great and the portions for the price is very reasonable. The place was cozy and clean. I would definitely recommend and go back.

    Chaulafan de pollo
    Sho R.

    This is a very small family run place. I took out dinner from here. Chaulafan de pollo and moro con pechuga were my dinner items, and both were really good. The carrot sauce was extremely flavorful. Green sauce was good as well. Nice to see another Salvadorian restaurant in Manchester.

    Plantain Chips and yummy creamy sauce!!
    Christina R.

    The food is absolutely delicious and reasonably priced! Great portions! The service was a bit slow but the waitress was by herself waiting on 11 tables so if you're patient, you will love it! The restaurant is VERY simple! You can definitely tell it's a new start up, family owned restaurant and they are trying their best to provide the community with the best service and Ecuadorian food! The ambiance was very chill! Great, traditional music playing in the background. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

    We had great time here in my Wife birthday!!! The food and the staff are the best. I will recommend this restaurant to my friends and family

    Toquillo ceviche with plantain chips
    Millie C.

    Excellent ceviche! It's fresh, it's a really good size portion, and lots of options. My friend got the shrimp ceviche while I got the toquilla ceviche. I really enjoyed mine but I probably wouldn't get it again. I didn't enjoy having break crab legs. So, next time (and there most definitely will be a next time), I'll probably get the mixto ceviche. For now my task is figuring out when I go again. They have a lovely outdoor patio and the staff and wieners are super friendly and family oriented. Can't wait to visit again.

    Amazing restaurant. Food was absolutely delicious. Owner, workers and other customers were so welcoming. This was s a place we can't wait to come back to and try more dishes!

    This was my first time trying Ecuadorian food, and I was very pleased! The plantain chips were savory, and we got some super tasty naranjilla juice. I got a plantain breakfast dish which was very hearty, and my sweetie got a rice dish which was equally hearty and very tasty. Not a bad meal for your buck!

    Mixed grill plate with steak, chicken, sausage, shrimp and pork. This comes with rice, French fries and salad
    Debra T.

    Our first time trying this restaurant. We ordered the beef empanadas and the mixed grill entree to share. This was more than plenty for two people. The food was very tasty and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They have a great outdoor setup too. I definitely recommend checking out this new addition to downtown Manchester

    Ceviche de peacado
    Rudy A.

    Went to try this place for lunch/dinner and the Ceviche de Pescado was amazing, my wife is Ecuadorian and she love it and a very good size. All the food was wonderful as they came out to the people eating very nice presentation. They have outside sitting not very big but nice with typical Latin music. We be coming back for sure.

    Menu.

    Menu is great, and the owners are trying new dish every Saturday. Stay tuned. So far I've had the ceviche and lomo saltado. Top tier.

    What a lovely restaurant, nestled on Oak Street in Manchester, with ample public parking (free) behind the building! Went with my adult son who has a great foodie palate to try out this Ecuadorian restaurant I've been wanting to check out since it opened. Upon entry, we were immediately greeted and seated by a gracious host even though we were a bit early for our reservation. A delicious bowl of fried plantains with a yummy dipping sauce appeared. And we made them disappear just as quick! For dinner my son ordered the Lomo and I ordered the Ceviche Mixto. We were served in less than 10 minutes. The lomo was deep in flavor and the beef was melt in your mouth good. Served with French fries and rice it was a large dinner plating. The ceviche was a very large portion as well - really an appetizer for 3. The shrimp and fish were extraordinary and the dish was a perfect blend of all ceviche goodness. Used some plantains to scoop the tomatoes, cilantro and red onions dredged in the brine. We were both so full with no room for dessert, which is now our excuse to return pronto. Trying empanadas and flan next time! Price was appropriate for quality and amount of food. If you are thinking about heading to La Toquilla, don't hesitate! Support a local family business that we hope is here to stay!!!

    We visited The Angry Egg on Friday, June 26th after it recently reopened under new management…read more The waitstaff seemed nervous and inexperienced, which is understandable with a newly reopened restaurant. Despite that, everyone was friendly and trying their best. The food, however, was absolutely delicious! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful and exceeded our expectations. The owner also stopped by our table to introduce himself and check on our meal. He came across as genuinely kind and passionate about creating a great dining experience. It's clear he cares about both the food and his customers. We'll definitely be back and look forward to seeing this restaurant continue to grow and succeed.

Owner was working hard, doing prep items while the rest of the staff remained idle. Asked my server what most people order, and was told either the breakfast platter or the cali sammich. Decided on the sandwich, to get a good sense of how they worked. Food came out after a short wait. Took pics and dug in. Egg was cooked fine, bread lightly toasted, avocado was on the bottom of the sandwich. Also sandwich was very much an omelette in between two pieces of bread. There was also omission of two ingredients (peppers and bacon), the onions were cooked not caramelized, and there was a lot of mozzarella for a cali themed breakfast dish. A lot of what was not great is easy to contribute to confusion. Home fries with a sandwich limits a dish to a dine-in experience which isn't ideal for the grab and go diner. Sandwich composition dictates flavor intensity on bite, and presentation matters more for dine in than to go. Missing ingredients, that's a slip of the kitchen and the servers. It's how the restaurant reacts and pivot that determines how they will fare. The owner was receptive of feedback, and talked to his staff on each issue brought up. It seems like the owner is heavily invested in the success of his spot but is not quite ready to hand reins over to his staff. There will need to be that transition, there's just too many hats to wear as an owner to handle the busy work as well. For those looking for a nice spot to have some eggs n bacon, this spot works. It's not glamorous eats, but it's functional and prepped well enough. I will have to try them again once they figure out their rhythm, but right now they are okay.

The place looked spacious and with a lot of light, it looked clean and they seemed to have a nice selection of wines (for those that like it) , they were displayed for people to see, which I thought looked very nice. I went to the restroom to wash my hands and I found it odd that there was only 1 restroom for the size of the restaurant. Our waiter was nice, he took our order and we were excited. The food took a VERY long time, we were starving, and we had kids with us so that wasn't good. Some of our orders were wrong and so unfortunately we had to wait even longer for the right meal. We didn't order alcohol but we did older a couple of mocktails. I was SUPER excited for them because that's something I always appreciate at a restaurant. I'm sad to say that they were AWFUL!! straight up syrup, not bubbly (some were supposed to have soda in them) not sweet, simply not enjoyable at all, I ended up switching it for a simple club soda, I figured it was a safe bet. When my food came out, it was ok, I had the avocado toast, and it was forgettable, my sister had the chicken and waffles and now THAT was the meal to get, it was large in portion and that chicken was beyond tasty!! My other sister has the lomito sandwich with the chips and it was good, something missing but she enjoyed it. The rest of the food were burgers and they were ok, the kids had burgers and Mac and cheese and they were not tasty according to the children's disinterest in barely touching their food (and they love cheeseburgers). I'm always willing to bypass certain things as long as customer service delivers BUT unfortunately they fell short. We were celebrating an engagement and so we were all very happy and in a great mood, when suddenly workers around us were cleaning up the neighboring tables, and even sweeping very close to us. We thought the place was possibly closing? (Even though it was only 2:15pm). I asked if they were closing and they said that they close the restaurant from 3-4 so their employees can go eat .... I'm not against giving them a break BUT, it really felt like they were kicking us out, we felt pressured to eat fast and wrap it up, not a good feeling, when you are in the zone of happiness. It was our first time there so, I would have appreciated if they would have informed us that the restaurant takes a little break in between and then we would have decided if we wanted to stay or go elsewhere. They did bring a little dessert and 2 mocktails for the newly engaged which was nice, I'll give them that. Overall, I don't think the food and experience was worth me coming back or recommending this place, I'm sure there's other much better places.

    The Cosmic Omelet is a breakfast, brunch and lunch restaurant that opened in Manchester,…read moreConnecticut in October 2003. It was founded by Tracy Devine. When she purchased the small restaurant space in Manchester, it was already an existing restaurant called "The Smoking Cafe". Just before the purchase, the Connecticut General Assembly had passed a smoking for restaurants, which was going to go into effect soon. Many of the regular customers were smokers, but Devine soon won them over with her menu of "out of this world" food. The new business was dubbed "The Cosmic Omelet" and by 2005, a beautiful cosmic-themed mural had been painted on the walls of the restaurant. Although the menu also features lunch items, it is the breakfast dishes that keep people coming back. Many of the dishes are named after and designed by staff or long standing customers. If you spot the word "cosmic" anywhere in the menu, it is code for "made with cream cheese". My family and I had brunch at the Cosmic Omelet over St. Patrick's Day weekend. I was first introduced to the place by one of my best friends who grew up in Manchester, and I've been coming back ever since. This was the first visit for my two sons. There was a little bit of a wait for a table, but there's plenty to do to pass the time. If customers follow the "yellow brick road" painted on the floor, it will lead you to a small arcade as well as a funky art gallery space. We all had a fun time exploring until our table was ready. They had a lot of delicious St. Patrick's Day themed specials during our visit. I had the "Sheep Go To Heaven" (shepherd's pie omelet w/ ground beef, corn, mashed potatoes, cheddar & Guinness gravy), my wife had the "Fiesta Omelet" (sausage, onions, peppers, cheddar, side of salsa & sour cream), our sons shared the "Sweet Cream (Green) Pancakes", and we also ordered sides of "Hashbrowns" and "Corned Beef Hash" for the table. As usual, everything was fantastic! The omelets were chock full of delicious ingredients, the pancakes were perfectly fluffy, and the home fries were out of this world! We plan on returning to the Cosmic Omelet again and again!

    Cosmic Omelet has been a local breakfast staple in Manchester for years, and that still seems to be…read morethe case. The look of the place is still a mix of quirky diner and casual neighborhood spot, but over the years they have expanded quite a bit into neighboring spaces. It is noticeably larger than it used to be many years ago, but it still feels like the same locally-owned, friendly, affordable, quirky, casual, bustling place with fun decor that it has always been. The food is certainly also a big reason people keep coming back. If you have never been, you will quickly notice that some of the omelets are creative and a little unusual. A few include things like cream cheese, which might sound odd at first but often works surprisingly well. Of course they also have plenty of classic breakfast options if you want something more traditional. In general the food has been consistently good. The place can get busy, especially during peak breakfast hours, which says a lot about how popular it still is with regulars. Once you are seated though, the service tends to move along quickly and the staff are friendly in that slightly quirky way that fits the personality of the place. Overall Cosmic Omelet is still one of the better breakfast spots in the area. Good food, lots of personality, and clearly a place that has built a strong following over the years. Although I have moved much further away since my 2009 review, I will still stop in when I am back in the area.

I'd avoided it ever since. My husband tried The Gathering (which has been around since 2010 according to the owner) a few weeks ago, and told me we had to go back - the restaurant is clean & welcoming. And serves a good breakfast. Decent coffee. Very good service. All at a very reasonable cost. I had a cheese omelette, 3 eggs, lots of cheese, served with toast & very good potatoes. My husband had his new favorite - breakfast sandwich with 2 eggs on a Portuguese roll. Served with potatoes (he substituted corned beef hash for an up charge this time). I think the Hash is the usual canned, however, it was grilled nice & crispy. Note that there is a senior citizen discount of 10% on Wednesdays. Nice. The Gathering is only open for breakfast (open until 1:00). We will be back for sure!
