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.

We shared the fried mozzarella medallions, which were crispy, cheesy, and honestly better than the usual mozzarella sticks. Their house-made marinara sauce was the perfect dip. It was rich and flavorful. I was in the mood for a grinder, so I went with the Philly cheesesteak. It was packed, delicious, and super satisfying. I've heard their pizza is a must-try, so I'm already planning my next visit to give that a shot.

Honestly, after reading the reviews, I wasn't too confident I would even be able to eke on in for dinner, but my God was I able to get in, and thank the LORD I was able to find a parking spot with such a full lot of cars! What started as a solo trip to J Timothy's became a welcome table event when fellow Yelper Angie showed up with her husband and invited me over to their table. I'm SO glad we were able to have that happen! It became one of the best post-event dinners I've had yet. It did take a bit of time to decide between the three of us, but we eventually split our checks, with me taking care of my order and Angie taking care of the rest. We had Kate as a waitress, and might I say, she was not only nice and efficient, but she was very knowledgeable of the menu and very helpful and accommodating. I immediately requested a take-out box and she delivered just like that. She was even knowledgeable on what foods and such were made in-house and what wasn't, which is honestly very impressive! Also note, we all got to have a taste of everything that came in tonight, so we got lots of food to get to! We did have the wings for our appetizers. I did the 10-wing Dirt Style Honey BBQ Gold for mine, and they got I wanna say 20(?) Buffalo wings. They were cooked to perfection, and I was able to twist the bones off the flats. Both flavors were good, but even though it could possibly be my bias talking, I did prefer my flavor of wings. I will say the Buffalo had that signature spice level there, but it didn't overpower the wing, which is awesome! Oh, and there were also the potato skins which was rated perfectly, and that tasted really good as well. For the entrees, this is why I immediately requested the box. My order was the full rack of ribs. Angie got the chicken pot pie. Usually, I don't eat pot pies, but the one Angie ordered was honestly very good. Flaky, buttery crust top, and savory filling or chicken, potatoes, peas, etc. As for my ribs, whenever I tried to cut them, all the meat kept falling off the bone! That's how you know it was cooked properly! And dear God were these ribs were delicious, succulent, and delicious! Did I mention they were delicious? The BBQ sauce was a symphony of bliss that helped make each bite of rib taste like I went to Cloud Nine! The coleslaw it came with was good, but it's not something I would say can compete with the South. But good all the same. Drinks were great too. I got the Dragon Fruit Martini(?), and that was sweet and relaxing to have after a long summer and a long drive to Plainville. Oh, and we also got dessert! Again we picked different things: Angie ordered the "Not Fried Chicken" while I went with the Key Lime Pie. Wherever these guys get their key lime pie from, keep them coming and let me know so I can get some more myself! The raspberry sauce was a great choice for accompaniment and complimented the pie nicely. And the slice was divine! The Not Fried Chicken is a very innovative idea, and it tasted good as well. I can see now why this place gets so much love. It's insane how good this place is in just about every aspect! The sink did take a bit to learn, but that was about my only criticism, other than that this place easily gets 5 stars from me, and I am so glad to have had this dinner with Angie and meet her husband. #KeepYelping

A friend of mine took me here for lunch after church during a recent visit to CT. The interior was…read morerustic, comfortable, and spacious with 2 levels. We chose booth seating on the 2nd floor, which was cozy, and boasted a cool view of the downstairs area. For my beverage, I chose the Cherry mocktail, which was oh so fizzy, refreshing, and a nice mix of sweet and tart. We shared the Chili Dirt Wings and Fried Calamari. The Wings were fried twice and generously sauced. They were satisfyingly crispy and full of bold flavor with a bit of a kick. The Fried Calamari was light and crunchy. I had a tough time selecting my entree, but finally went with Taverne Grilled Meatloaf. This dish consisted of beef and pork meatloaf, loaded mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables. The Meatloaf was cooked perfectly on the char-broiler, giving it a slightly smoky taste and bit of caramelization, then smothered in a tomato glaze. Meatloaf was delightfully tender and well seasoned. Loaded Mashed Potatoes was mouthwatering, covered in melty cheese, bacon, and scallions. Veggies included carrots, zucchini, squash and had a great consistency, adding a fresh element to the dish. For dessert, I had to get one of my favorites: Sticky Toffee Pudding. Their version was a moist, dense sponge Bundt cake with caramel sauce. It was decent, but overly sticky sweet even for me. Service was solid. Our waitress was welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. Everything came out in a timely manner. If I return, I would want to try the Shepherd's Pie, Boneless Braised Short Ribs, or Pierogies and Kielbasa.

I went back to check on my food twice , the second time being at an hour and 15 minutes since I placed the order , with people who ordered after both getting their food first and finishing before I received mine at all.

We assumed the place would be packed as we headed in to watch the 1:00 game. But it was dead. Which we were kind of relieved because we weren't worried about finding a table but also kind of perplexed because any other place that serves wings on a Sunday during football season is bursting at the seams. We walked in and stood at the hostess station waiting to be seated for about 5 minutes and didn't see an employee at all. My husband finally just walked over to the bar area and spotted someone around the corner. He asked if we could sit and she was somewhat agreeable to the idea. Thankfully our server McKenna was a delight. She was attentive and efficient. The French onion soup was fantastic. The wings were fine but not as good as I remember. They used to have a crisp to them. Now they are just kind of soggy. The kids liked their chicken tenders although I thought it looked like they had been in the fryer a tad too long. I could get past all that except I can't overlook the lack of management and the terrible bartender. We observed multiple people come in and stand at the hostess station for excessive amounts of time before anyone bothered to greet them. There were people at the bar with empty drinks and the bartender was standing around the corner on her phone while people waited. It was just a bad movie unfolding before our eyes. It was an experience for sure. This place used to be and could be amazing - they just need better hands on management and something to draw the crowd in on Sundays. We might come back if we see any chatter about new management, but until then it's probably off our rotation.
