    Chicken Parmigianoparm
    Melissa R.

    It's alright - it wasn't bad but it wasn't really good either. I ordered the nacho spirited wogj chicken and some of the cheese wasn't melted all the way through but they tasted decent. For an entree I ordered the chicken parm and really liked how to linguine was cooked - Al dente. Chicken breasts were cooked well too. We had a big party of 7 and the server did a really great job in taking our order correctly, and making sure we were all good. Ambience was chill, it's a sit down restaurant.

    First, they have a large menu with something for anyone and attention to food allergies. I ordered french onion soup in a bread bowl. Most of the soup soaked into the bread so not much soup wish I would have liked to be warned about but know I know to order in a regular bowl. I didn't appreciate being charged $2 to add on different cheese and not being told that at time of ordering. I asked for Mozzarella or cheddar instead. If I go back next time I'll ask if there's an upcharge but typically they tell you. The soup was good and the bread crunchy outside/soft inside. I'd order the soup again with the bread bowl separate!

    I Came here for a few drinks and appetizers. Food and beverages were good and our bartender Jhonny was awesome :)

    Cheese pizza

    Expensive. Recently increased their prices and a small pizza costs $16.95, which I believe it used to cost 11 or 12 a couple of months ago. This is okay pizza, but does not justify the price. The marg flight is good here, but otherwise it's a pretty expensive and overrated place!

    Bar menu

    Wow @ the extensive menu here! The place was pretty packed around seven on a Wednesday night. I was waiting a few minutes and found two seats at the bar. The tables were busy and we just sat at the bar. The bartenders were busy, but attentive. I liked how spacious and the calm ambiance. The booths looked very cozy too. Would have liked to try sitting outside with the fire, but spring has not totally sprung yet. We finished the chips& guac app. It was good although the potstickers were a bit greasy for me. We both enjoyed our drinks and everything seemed fresh.

    Margherita Pizza. Very greasy in middle. Raw dough

    Overall not a bad experience, a few beers on tap where out, service was fast for food, but took a while getting the drinks. Came with a party of 4, most of the food looked good, I got a margarita pizza to split, and it was very greasy/watery, in the middle of the pizza, and the dough was clearly a frozen dough that was almost raw. Such a large menu certain items clearly lose their quality. We sat at a table and happened to sit at the only one with a bright white light unlike every other table with amber bulb above them. Not a big deal but cmon. Pretty standard pricing, maybe a little bit on the expensive side for the quality of items. Would return but would get something different. Overall 3/5

    The best part os to see that desserts and most ingredients are from local vendors and companies. Keeping CT in bus's

    First timers here. I should have taken a lot more pictures of this spectacular place, I regret not doing it. Our waitress was a little to shy at the beginning, ready to take off from the table. But eventually she warmed up to is a little But the food saved everything. Very impressed with our choices. The outside patio looked spectacular. The seating was well thought out because they were very spacious and comfortable.

    Wow! What a big menu! The seating is comfortable and private. We tried the Deviled Eggs, Buffalo Chicken Dip and some giant, giant salads! Everything was fresh and delicious. Our server Olivia was amazing. Friendly and welcoming. A wonderful experience!

    Sriracha Burger with onion rings.

    Came in on a busy Saturday night while my son was rock climbing. Our server Jonathan was absolutely amazing as we were having a hard time choosing what we wanted to eat because everything looked so good. Jonathan was very patient and didn't rush us. I love restaurants that have a huge variety even though it's so hard to choose. Drinks, appetizer and entrees were all so delicious, both my husband and I made food substitutions and everything was made to perfection . All food came out in a decent amount of time and it was pretty busy. We will return again next time we are in the area. Firecracker shrimp: 10/10 perfect amount of heat and crunch. Blackened chicken sandwich 10/10. The pretzel bun and flavor of the chicken was so good. Not dry at all. My husband loved his Sriracha burger.

    Stopped in for lunch and weee seated immediately. Server took our drink orders and left us to go through the massive menu. Menu has everything you could ever want given its size . Actually too much to digest in one sitting. We finally decided on the Waldorf chicken salad with tater tots, bacon cheeseburger, substituting blue cheese dressing for the American cheese, French fries and added French onion soup for an additional charge. We waited what seemed an inordinate amount of time before our entrees showed up. Soup should have come out before the trees but didn't. We'll start with the soup. It was served at room temperature. Not even a hint of it being heated and couldn't even figure out if it would be good or not given its temperature. Sent back to the kitchen with an offer to replace it. No point in bothering as eating it would have meant my burger would get cold. As it turns out I didn't need to worry about that. The burger was barely warm although cooked to the medium I asked for. Burger was seasoned and not bad. Blue cheese dressing is very runny so it didn't add much to the burger. Burger probably would have been great if served hot. On to the French fries, again cold, limp, and pretty greasy. Those got left on the plate. I'm guessing my meal sat around for a while before the server picked it up. The chicken salad was very good, well seasoned. Good mix of chicken, apples, cranberries, walnuts, on grilled thick sliced brioche bread. Herb aioli completed the sandwich. This was a large portion of chicken salad so the bread was put aside. The tater tots looked as if someone took a fork to some of them and mashed them. We did do dessert and I guess these were the stars of the show. Ordered the molten lava cake and the six layer chocolate cake. The lava cake with a couple scoops of ice cream and whipped cream on the side. Excellent dessert. The layer cake was like eating fudge. It was served on a plate with lines of chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Keep a drink close by as this cake is a stick to the roof of your mouth cake. The whipped cream adds some moisture but a drink handy to wash the cake down is advised. All in all a disappointing lunch. Seating is a combination of booths and half booths with chairs on the other side of the table. Restaurant is on the noisy side given its size and lack of ceiling to absorb the noise. Service was adequate but nothing to get excited over. My vote for going out to eat will not be to choose this establishment again.

    I came in so hungry.. left disappointed! I stopped in on a cold /rainy day and really wanted a bowl of hot chowder.. fail... my chowder came room temp at best. Do you know how nasty cold soup is when expecting hot..gross.. i also ordered a NY strip cooled medium and steamed sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were really good. My "medium" steak was super rare in the center and the cut was very grainy. Overall.. I shoukda read the reviews prior to eating here.. I simply would've gone somewhere else.. the service industry has really taken an L post pandemic..

    We decided to celebrate a family birthday at a Maggie's. We were greeted and seated promptly. We had the option for outdoor seating by a nice warm fire pit. We opted for indoor seating due to the chilly evening. Our server, Nichole, was very attentive and friendly throughout our evening. She provided good suggestions on the menu for our family. We ordered martinis that were both fantastic. We learned that the restaurant manager created both of our cocktails. Kudos to her! We ordered Mac n cheese bites and Philly egg rolls for apps. Dinners ranged from chicken Marsala to jambalaya. The menu is large and varied with options for all diet preferences. This location has a large bar by the outdoor patio. The atmosphere at this location was good. Noise levels were a bit high with a fun vibe. Parking lot is tight during peak times but we always find a spot.

Kens is a small breakfast place in glastonbury, and there always seems to be a line out the door (for a good reason). Once inside tho, the waitresses and busboys are always super friendly. I love that the waitresses always stop by for a quick chat when they see you. The eggs benedict is super amazing here. Actually everything is but thats my fav. French toast super amazing too, especially when they have the egg nog French toast on special. They always have two flavored coffee options which i love. And the home fries are always well seasoned and crispy on the outside and oft in the middle. The only downside really to kens is the wait which sometimes goes out the door. They don't take reservations and they don't have a sign in, so it kinda sucks for someone like me with Rheumatoid arthritis because I cant stand for very long, so we cant go on the weekends. But we went twice during the week this week and the wait was very short. So if you want a great breakfast at a decent price, nice wait staff, and you're near glastonbury, Kens is a place to check out for sure!

We had Sue handle all of our orders and she was more than accommodating for our group of almost a dozen people. Separate checks, a magnitude of questions, and lots of repeated statements from us and her. She has a patience of a saint and such a friendly demeanor. I love the atmosphere and the menu was designed by Sue herself, so we were able to get the best recommendations. Lots of omelets, French toasts, wraps, etc. All the food was amazing, but a common complaint I heard from the group was that the sandwiches were a bit dry or needed a sauce to push it to great. Definitely check this out. Be prepared for a wait and a deliciously good time.

Choices were limited to 'small and large plates', there was no appetizer section. We were asked "sparkling bottled ($$) or tap water?". We chose tap. Server brought an old-style quart-size milk bottle and small juice-size glasses. The water had no ice, so I assumed water was cold, it wasn't. I ordered a 'breakfast' stout, my wife coffee. Stout was served in a wine glass, not a traditional pint glass. Wife said coffee wasn't that hot. When they brought our beverages, wife asked for a napkin since none were on the table. Like most civilized countries, I like to put a napkin in my lap when I sit down in a restaurant. Apparently you need to ask for one here. Young server muttered something about place settings are brought when food is delivered. I guess an ale and coffee aren't napkin worthy. Not sure what they accomplish with this goofy policy. It looks more like some kind of cost cutting measure. We made reservations a week earlier, wanted us to confirm a second time through text the same morning. It led me to think this must be a popular place with people clamouring to get in. Once there, place wasn't bust at all, no waiting customers and a sea of unoccupied tables. Our guest arrived after we ordered our beverages. After a few minutes, I ended up flagging down a server to get her a drink. Another sign we were stuck with a 2nd or 3rd-string staff. Our aunt ordered a specialty drink from their menu; "champagne in a laundry basket", (looked more like laundry water in a wash tub). After taking our orders, paper menus were collected to be reused. Maybe they were saving money on copy paper. I kinda' wish she left one in case we wanted desserts or something later. They were keeping the table clear of literally everything. I ordered a humus plate for use as an appetizer, something to share and couldn't be screwed up while waiting for our main course. When entrees showed up, we all chose 'smoked sausage eggs-benedict', extra servers were in tow with plates, napkins and silverware, napkin place settings given after all plates were on the table. My wife was seated across from me, sitting next to her Aunt Nan. The first plate was placed in front of me. Even being the neanderthal caveman I am, I knew this was the most basic etiquette faux pas (I felt humiliated j/k). Ladies are ALWAYS served first, another red flag from an inexperienced staff. The 'smoked sausage' Eggs Benedict failed on many levels. It wasn't hot, poached eggs were both over and under-cooked- egg whites had chunky white snot, yolks were not runny. The 'smoked sausage', was kielbasa logs cut in half lengthwise, they were overcooked and impossible to cut without flattening and mutilating egg and muffin. They could be used as wheel chocks, I had to deconstruct it so sausage could be wrestled with on the side. Wife said the 'homemade' English muffin had the tap water taste like what we were served 'for free'. I couldn't help but envision a garden hose filling a mop bucket used for filling the milk bottles. The Hollandaise sauce lacked silky richness and flavor, I've had better with McCormick packets. Benedict was overpowered with the taste of the smoked sausage. This meal was our aunt's special treat for our birthdays. They did not finish their meals, leaving mostly the pieces of the hockey puck-hard sausage. Server had been touting the pastry chef for the home-made English muffins. They were not any better than Thomas's English muffins. I am a plate-cleaner by habit, I've even been called human garbage disposal, so I managed to clear this one, (except for the egg snot, it would've taken a straw to finish it). My wife always has leftovers I happily dispose of quietly, not this time, gave it a hard pass. I felt unfulfilled, I was food frustrated, so I ordered some bacon cheese scones and shared them with the table. They turned out to be the best thing we had, warm Bisquick quality with a good taste of bacon and cheese almost as addicting as Red Lobster cheddar biscuits. We consumed them like a pack of hungry wolves. I asked and was told they don't serve them with butter. These begged for butter. IMO, butter should already be on the table. My wife picked this venue for our birthday treat meal with our beloved Aunt Nan from MA treating us. I apologized to her for our disappointing choice. She said she was glad I said it, she didn't want to say anything to make us feel bad. With tip, the bill for 3 was $171.00. We could have had a better meal and service at an IHOP for a quarter of the cost, I know I would have felt more satisfied. This experience made onto my list of top 5 worst eating experiences.

However, this place is sneaky about prices. Firstly, They do not list prices on the menu, and after seeing my receipt, I understand why.

They also refuse to give tap water, and make you pay for bottled water- a practice that rubs me the wrong way. It cost nearly $50 for two people to eat breakfast here.

At first, I thought it was just my tastes changing, but last night proved me wrong. I had the "North Atlantic Swordfish Saltimbooca". The description was "Proccuitto, mozzaella cheese, sage mascarpone, white polenta". Polenta is usually soft, with the fish on top. This was polenta soup, with the fish literally swimming in it. In addition, it was greasy. There was a lot of oil around the side. And on top of that, the mozzarella formed a rather nasty hard cheese coating on the fish that I removed to the side with my fork. It was one of the most unappetizing things I've had in a long time. The swordfish was completely lost; no flavor at all. After a few bites, I gave up on it. I also noticed that drinks have gotten smaller. I ordered a martini. It used to be quite generous (it is a $16 drink after all). The glass last night was much smaller, at the same price. The wine was good, but that was about it. VERY DISAPPOINTING. I should have gone with the Fish and Chips! Hard to mess that up.

    Great food, great service, luxurious atmosphere. The windows all around allow you to have a great…read moreview of the Hartford skyline and the river. There are a lot of food options, we came for a friend's birthday party and they had created a custom menu. My only qualm with the place is access- difficult to find the parking and to navigate to get in here, it's a business/apartment building so takes a few extra steps to access the restaurant.

    I was immediately smacked in the face with the lack of ventilation. My clothes and my hair took on…read morethe aroma of the restaurant, and my desire to eat here was immediately shaped by our first step inside. Notwithstanding, we looked forward to something unique and outstanding, given the constant advertising on Yelp for the Parker House Rolls. The hostess was friendly, the waiter a bit snobbish, but perhaps that's the "exclusive" vibe they are trying to project. We went on to peruse the menu, which is a bit abbreviated; I assumed it's because they are focused on their "specialty." We took in the views, which, hailing from New York City, were not as vast or fascinating as those we were used to. Granted, we knew where we were and really had no expectations. We just wanted to enjoy dinner. The meal's presentation was beautiful. The Parker House Rolls were delicious. The Hamachi Crudo appetizer was perfection. I did not enjoy the Skate Wing and did not eat it; it had a tough rubbery texture; probably overcooked. I mentioned to my waiter that I didn't enjoy it, and he offered no alternative, so I ate more rolls. My husband enjoyed the Dry Aged Rohan Duck. We topped it off with a chocolaty dessert and French press coffee. The friendliest of the staff was a young man who collected our plates after our entrees. He smiled and interacted in a very down-to-earth manner. Overall, the appetizer, rolls, and dessert were delicious. The service was stoic and not warm or welcoming. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be visiting again.
