    City Sports Grille - Burger with loaded fries

    Tried again, better but still lacking…read more Been a while since I've been to this location. Decided to give them another try and see if things have improved. Place was dead when I wandered in. Just myself and a couple other patrons at far sides of the place. Bartender was playing waitress as well. Very nice but very casual. Opted for their fruit juice mocktail and the jammin burger with loaded fries. Food and drink came out quick, so I took my pics and dug in. The mocktail was pretty much orange and pineapple juice with a fruit garnish. It was fine for what you got, and the price was reasonable at 4 bucks. Nothing special, but something to sip on if you're with company. The burger was executed flawlessly. Cooked well, not seasoned but done so with intention. The buttered bun and jam were salty to begin with, so they chose to unseason the burger, relying on the condiments to balance the dish out. The chef has skill, and you can tell it by their preparation. The trouble was the quality of the ingredients. The burger is straight ground meat, pressed to a patty and frozen. The chef did what they could to gussy up the burger, but was working with ingredients they could not control. When they had control in the ingredients and preparation, they put in care. The actual burger patty was very much the biggest detriment to the dish. The fries were good, cheap cheese and bagged fries but ample amounts of toppings and cooked perfectly. Good, but there's evidence that there could be something better. As a chain location tied to a bowling alley, it's perfectly fine pub bites. The servers are nice, but I feel that the chef is constrained. If given the opportunity, the chef could produce some magic on the plates. but they are stuck to the playbook, the source ingredients and the margins they need to stay in. That cheapens the food to cookie cutter molds and is a crying shame. The foods acceptable, the staff is good, and the venue is clean. One day I hope they can shed the chain and let the chef take the wheel. till then though, it's okay

    Food is typical bar food; affordable and tasty. The restaurant is connected to the bowling alley,…read moremaking it super convenient. The food served at the lanes is also from the Grille. Fries, wings, pizzas, burgers etc. While you're bowling a server comes to take your food and drink orders so you don't have to leave your lane. Service has been good and I've had a birthday party there and it's so great to have the server handle the food, drinks, party supplies and helping with the arcade area. Ambiance is very chilled. It's a typical bar but has seating and tables if you don't or can't sit at the bar with children. It's clean. Staff is great. Quick service. I don't mind eating there when we're at the bowling alley.

    We had a dinner reservation for 6pm and sports simulator reservation for 7-8pm on a Saturday…read more No table was ready for ready for 6pm, and our drink orders weren't taken until about 6:15. We were a party of ten. I ordered a mojito, and was informed that there was no white rum available, so I just ordered another cocktail. When it came time to order dinner, I ordered the half chicken, only to be told that they were out of that, too, so I ordered a Cobb salad with steak. The food and drink were okay. Several appetizers were ordered; one order of nachos never arrived, we were told there was no calamari about 30 minutes after putting in our order. A couple of the meals were not eaten because they just weren't good. We had to ask for water and ask for utensils. Our waitress was nice, but overall, everything seems to be extremely disorganized, careless and overwhelmed. I would not return unless someone wanted to celebrate something and they wanted to go there.

    "Got you on my mind but it's not enough Give me stadium…read morelove" (Carly Rae Jepsen) Anyone remember the old Farmington Marriott on Farm Springs Road, just off the Fienemann Road exit on I-84? Well, the Marriott is long gone- replaced by a glitzy ultra-modern apartment complex. And on the first floor of that apartment complex is a sports bar unlike any sports bar I've ever seen. Stadium XV brings the neighborhood sports bar to a whole new level. It has the expected big screen TVs, and we saw three broadcasts featuring soccer, golf and ESPN. But what really differentiates Stadium XV is their variety of interactive multi-sport simulated games. Want to kick a real soccer ball at a life-sized video goalie? Want to take a few at bats against a fire balling pitcher? Want to swing a real golf club on a video golf course? You can also kick a football field goal, play disk golf or footgolf. We even heard there is a Zombie Hunt option! The sports themed space is gorgeous and accented with stadium seats and scoreboards. And the various menus are awesome. When we walked in, we were greeted by the manager Dana, who gave us a personal tour of the restaurant and the new common areas of the apartments. Dana raved about their Maple Dijon Brussels Sprouts and Chicken Wings, so we included both in our order. For lunch, we hopped from the regular menu to their version of a Happy Hour menu, named "Pre-Game" to match their sports theme. We went with both of Dana's recommendations from the regular menu -8 wings for $15 and the Brussels Sprouts for $14. Then we jumped to the Happy Hour menu for calamari at $7. The jumbo wings are brined for 48 hours before dry roasting and can be ordered in five styles - Buffalo, Korean BBQ, House BBQ, Hot Honey, and Garlic Parmesan. Wings are served with house-made ranch or blue cheese. We went with four Korean BBQ and four Garlic Parmesan. The KBBQ wings were mine, and I was very satisfied with them. Two huge drumettes and two flats slathered in an addictive barbecue sauce. They were fantastic. And so were the Brussels Sprouts- roasted and tossed in a house-made maple dijon glaze with ground pistachios, goat cheese and fresh herbs. Outstanding. And then there was my calamari, one of my favorite (but tricky to execute) bar foods. I say tricky because I've been disappointed so many times with pale, soggy, chewy, limp noodle versions. But my Sweet Lord, these were great. Well-cooked to a golden crunch, zero traces of oil, and big giant pieces in a big giant portion. Just between you and me, this $7 Happy Hour choice is a GD steal. Our server Jenna was fantastic, as were our interactions with Dana who showed us around the restaurant's private rooms after our meal. Private parties are definitely on their radar, in fact they were setting up for two holiday parties last night. Our delicious lunch ran just $38.64 before tip, and we took home half the Brussels and Calamari. The wings never had a chance to escape their serving dish. Oh, and there's even more good news because they'll be adding a Weekend Brunch to their dining options in the New Year. Thank you, Dana and Jenna, for a great lunch at an amazing new venue. See ya for Brunch in 2025.

    I'm back! The bar/restaurant is located on 623 Main St. in Manchester, CT. It's only been open…read moresince February 2025. It's very clean and organized in here. It's early in the day so it's quiet right now. I love the decor! It's just the right amount. The music is the right type and the appropriate sound level. There is plenty of parking in back on the left. It's cool in here too. This place is well managed and well taken care of. It's very obvious. The Happy Hour menu is a cute, little paperback-sized, laminated piece of paper. The countertop is transparent with a nice pearl theme. That's impressive! The bar is named after Pearl St. where it is located (corner of Main and Pearl actually). The menu has a lot of very sophisticated drinks and high end food of an Italian influence. For my first drink I'm having the Happy Hour Manhattan. A Manhattan is a cocktail made with whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters. While rye is the traditional whiskey of choice, other commonly used whiskies include Canadian whisky, bourbon, blended whiskey, and Tennessee whiskey. The cocktail is usually stirred with ice then strained into a chilled cocktail glass and garnished traditionally with a maraschino cherry. A Manhattan may also be served in a champagne coupe or on the rocks in a lowball glass. They serve it in a martini-type glass. This is very good! For my first item, I'm having a House Salad. They have a Happy Hour Tues-Fri from 4-6 PM. There's a lot of $7 food items and discounted drinks. There is a large menu posted on the wall next to the bar. This salad comes standard with a delicious balsamic vinaigrette dressing. It is made with romaine lettuce, mesclun greens, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions and black olives. A house salad is a simple, versatile American-style salad featuring mixed leafy greens, sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, carrots, and croutons, often topped with cheddar cheese. Typically served as a starter, a House Salad is paired with various dressings like ranch, vinaigrette, or blue cheese. It is quick to prepare, usually in under 15 minutes. This is quite good! It is very fresh tasting. The use of quality greens helps. I love the dressing! It appears to be homemade with a unique taste. For my next item, I'm having the Caesar Salad. This is made with hearts of romaine lettuce, shaved parmigiano cheese, seasoned croutons and a house-made Caesar dressing. A Caesar salad is typically a green salad with romaine lettuce, croutons, and Parmesan cheese, tossed in a creamy dressing made from olive oil, egg, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and anchovies. The dressing is key, creating a rich, savory, and tangy flavor that coats the crisp lettuce and crunchy croutons. Please toss it (don't served with dressing on the side). This has height! It is very lightly doused with Caesar dressing and gets thicker as you work your way down. This is very good! Yummy croutons too. For my next drink, I'm having a Mojito. Mojito is a traditional Cuban punch. The cocktail often consists of five ingredients: white rum, sugar (traditionally sugar cane juice), lime juice, soda water, and mint. Its combination of sweetness, citrus, and herbaceous mint flavors is intended to complement the rum, and has made the mojito a popular summer drink. This looks nice! I like the taste! I do y have these very often! For my next food item, I'm having the Fornarelli's Meatballs. There are 2 of their famous meatballs served with marinara sauce and topped with ricotta cheese (light for me). These are fantastic! You have to try these! Melts in your mouth! For my next item, I'm trying the Grilled Chicken Sliders (2 for Happy Hour). This is a rare find! "Grilled Chicken" sliders are NOT common. They come with lettuce, tomato and mayo (light for me). No cheese. These sliders are the best! You have to try these! For my last drink? I'm having a Margarita. A margarita is a cocktail of tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and sometimes simple syrup. It is served shaken with ice (on the rocks), without ice (straight up), or blended with ice (frozen). Most bars serve margaritas in a stepped-diameter variant of a cocktail glass or champagne coupe called a margarita glass, often with salt or Tajín on the rim of the glass. The margarita is one of the US most popular cocktails and the most popular tequila-based cocktail. No salt/sugar rim but it tastes just right! For my entree, I'm having the Black Bean Burger with fries. This is an all natural bran burger made in house with lettuce, tomato and grilled onions. I like how they spread the fries all over. How about the metal fries bin? I've the pickle too! What a great meal here!

Maybe as a respected establishment you should reconsider who you allow to be the face of it. There was no need for this man child to be as aggressive as he was.
