The candle-lit atmosphere made it perfect for a date night. Our waiter, who has been in the industry for decades, was exceptional--his experience truly showed. As for the food, I started with the clams and mussels, which were packed with garlic-wine flavor and cooked to perfection. My only critique was the accompanying bread, so I opted for the bread from our basket instead. For my main, I had the salmon, which was flavorful and cooked perfectly. For dessert, we shared the cheesecake and bread pudding. The cheesecake was rich and delicious, but I actually preferred the bread pudding! For wine, we chose a white Burgundy, which paired well with the meal--I'd highly recommend it! I can't wait to come back!

Everything about this place was awful. We walked in and the first thing we saw was a piece of paper…read morethat said we would be limited to 90 minutes. No worries...we were trying to get out as quickly as possible as soon as the drinks came. I ordered an old fashioned and my husband got a bourbon on the rocks. Between the 5 minutes it took to get to us, his ice was half melted which meant they already likely had this poured and just snagged it for him and my old fashioned tasted like pure sugar. I couldn't taste the bourbon and I tried my husbands drink and it was so watered down the bourbon color was almost clear. They brought his glass out and the waiter noticed something and immediately took it back and they seemed to have poured it into another glass which then watered it down even more!!! I got the lobster bisque as an appetizer and WOW, I don't even know why they call it a bisque. It was obviously cooked in a seafood broth and overly salty as opposed to the cream base of an actual bisque. My husband ordered the filet mignon. This cut of beef is perfect all on its own but they brought it out drenched in a soup of a tangy tasting sauce that covered the plate. You couldn't even taste the steak. The mashed potatoes looked so undercooked just by looking at them. When I asked how they were, he compared them to an instant mix box kind. I got the bolognese pasta. Again, no seasoning whatsoever for being a bolognese which should have herbs and spices. The service was lackluster, we got a water refill once, the waiter rushed everytime he was at our table and was even rushing writing stuff down. THE WORST PART was the ambience. I was hoping to have a nice date night on a Tuesday night, instead all the tables are so crammed together that you can't even hear your own thoughts. We were having to sort of yell back and forth just to have a conversation. We couldn't get out of there fast enough! Go across the street to Flemings or Capital Grill in Hartford. A LOT more quality and peace for almost the same price. DO NOT RECOMMEND NOT EVEN FOR DRINKS!!!

I thought I had been there but I realized recently that I hadn't. So went to lunch with my mother…read morewhen she was in town. She had a cheese burger asked for rare - she knows no one is ever making her a rare burger. But she just likes to point out that it wasn't rare but it was delicious. I had a panini with chicken, pesto, mozzarella and roasted bell peppers. Both had sides of fries which were also good. I would 10000% order it again. I took some home and it was good the next day too. If you read my reviews, I take food home all the time. The staff was nice. It was president's day so it was very quiet. The table next was had a crabcake and then have steak. Obviously, I didn't try it, but it looked very good.

I'd rate the Season Tap Room four and a half stars…read more We hung out in the tap room. The space is located in a hotel, so the amenities benefited by the grounds. There's a billiards table connected to the tap room. Corn hole just outside. Board games too. The tap room has a couple TVs and a smart TV located by the billiards table, so plenty of entertainment. Staff was attentive and accommodating. They kindly tuned into an event for me on one of the TVs even though many locals were interested in another event which was on the other TV. Solid selection of whiskeys and beers. There were about eight draft with a couple macros but a bigger focus on local craft beers. I had a strong English ale from Shed Brewery which was superb. My wife order a grilled cheese and they had it ready quickly. Judging by how sucky she ate it, I suspect it was quite good. I finished up the fries; they were solid. Restrooms are shared with the hotel. They're gendered and handicap accessible.

We had a great view of the outdoors with our lunch so that was a plus. The only issue was there was a fly in my original margarita but they quickly replaced it. I also had the calamari chorizo and the bruschetta on different nights and they were so good. Good vibes overall

The atmosphere felt lively without being too loud, making it easy for everyone to relax, catch up, and celebrate together. I ordered the penne alla vodka with grilled chicken, and I definitely made the right choice. The vodka sauce was creamy and flavorful without being too heavy, the chicken was cooked well, and the portion was HUGE. I happily brought home leftovers, which almost felt like getting two meals for the price of one.

We started our dinner with the garlic Parmesan Tuscan wings - so crispy, so flavorful - and the truffle fries - crispy outside and pillow inside, just enough truffle flavor. For the main course, I got the Valentine special - sirloin and lobster. The most I can say about it is that it was filling. The sirloin was cooked well, but the meat was just tough. The lobster was also on the small side and stuck to the shell ( a good portion of the meat was missed because I wasn't allowed to eat like a savage). For $42, I could have made a better choice. My wife got the pork chops - now that was a good pick! The glaze was sweet, but not too sweet, and she even enjoyed the squash (which she rarely eats). For dessert, I got the tiramisu, which was again okay, nothing spectacular. My wife enjoyed the valentine dessert (a red velvet cake with cream cheese and covered in chocolate). The biggest flaw I saw is their seating arrangement - we felt very claustrophobic. For parties of two, they have a huge series of benches with a tiny table and chairs on the other side. We were initially seated between two couples (one of which was the end), and they moved their table so my tiny wife can squeeze in between to sit on the bench. I'm so glad they left soon after and we asked to take their seat. I regret some of my choices, and should have tempered my expectations, mistaking this place as a fancy restaurant. It was a decent experience, perhaps shaded by a busy Friday date night.

The grounds, the old millwork setting, ambience and views just feel comfortable while still upscale. I prefer the main dining area to the tavern or covered walkway because you get a glimpse of the kitchen that consistently generates fabulous food with seasonal ingredients and re-imagined classics. Tyler Anderson is back in charge these days and his food is just really good Trusting in him we did the five course menu tour: local oysters with mignonette; cornbread with sesame butter; then one of those classics that has been played with a bit: tapioca pearls prepared to channel clam chowder with bits of bacon and herb! The next jawdropper was frozen shaved foie gras over a strawberry cream compote with pumpkin seed granola. The entrees (you get both) were monkfish schnitzel with a pickle and potato salad and seared strip with potato galette and cioppolina onion. Dessert was a panna cotta with strawberry and angel food crumble All of these were delicious and unique in there on way. Our table relished and discussed every course in an a way that was fun and social. The food made sing and think! The only knock was this: the menu had some redundancies with strawberries and soft textures: the tapioca, foie gras dish, and panna cotta were delish, we could have done without three dishes for people who can't still chew! Service was very pleasant but painfully soft spoken and could benefit from some more fine dining polish. These are minor quibbles. Two weeks later and we are still telling everyone we know what a terrific meal we had... This is a must go restaurant

We dined here yesterday evening to celebrate my husband's birthday. We had never been and made…read morereservations to sit on the bridge. Pretty area but I was honestly thinking it was going to be more quaint and romantic. It was not. The area is somewhat narrow which makes tables spaced close together and it's really not that private. But the space is nicely decorated and if you sit on the right side (which we did), you're right in front of the waterfall. I would try the dining room next time just to compare. Our server Anthony was professional, kind of and accommodating. We started with cocktails - I had a creative gin drink called Dot Dot Dot. My husband loved his Old Fashioned - he meant to ask what type of bourbon they used because he thought it was very good. With the tasting menu - many of the options apparently change regularly though based off other reviews it appears there may be similar options from time to time. We started with their Johnny Cakes which the waiter said the restaurant is known for. Another reviewer ranked them a 7.5/10 and I couldn't disagree more. They were one of the tastiest bites I've eaten in a while. Crispy, buttery and divine. I thought they were to die for. Served with creamy honey sesame butter which was also delicious. My husband doesn't eat fish so for his amuse bouche he had a little puff served with cheese, that was amazing. For his first course - he had the Ricotta Raviolis. They were as beautiful as they were delicious. My amuse bouche was a tuna tartare that was a perfectly balanced bite. I had the Tapioca custard as my first course. The bacon was a bit too smokey for my taste and overpowered the dish in my opinion. It could have used a bit more liquid but it was a unique few bites. For our mains, my husband's porcini risotto was rich, creamy, and full of earthy flavor. I had the bass with cauliflowerini, golden raisin-caper gremolata, Marcona almonds, and a cauliflower purée--thoughtfully composed and very flavorful. The final savory course was a crispy duck breast with port-poached pear, port reduction, and sweet potato purée, which was beautifully executed. Dessert was a pomegranate pavlova--crisp on the outside with that perfect soft, marshmallowy center. A delightful finish to the meal. Overall, the dishes were not only delicious but also thoughtfully composed and visually striking. It made for a memorable experience, and we're already looking forward to coming back--maybe in a different season to see how the menu evolves.
