The cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres were a large variety of hot food trays- pastry wrapped asparagus, spinach pies, stuffed mushrooms, pepper steak, eggplant rollatini, and several charcuterie stations. The eggplant was exceptional. We also had a pasta station with two selections, and a great carving station with fork tender beef and a perfect turkey breast. Every employee we interacted with - at the coat check station, at the bar, at the food stations, and at the tables was polite and very professional. We were treated like honored guests and I had a terrific time.

"Back in the banquet line Some get the gravy"…read more( Joni Mitchell) We attended a "Year In Review" celebratory dinner for a charitable organization we've supported for years, and the good folks at Farminton Gardens served well over 100 guests flawlessly in their banquet room. We started off in their gorgeous atrium bar for a glass of wine and chit chat before we were seated in their main banquet room. The room was quite large and easily accomodated our group. There was a podium up front and two video screens to display slide shows and the like. The sound and video systems were excellent. The dinner buffet line was set up in the rear of the room and we were called up table by table. We were very impressed by the variety and quality- rolls, salad, asparagus spears, mushroom polenta, salmon, short ribs, and cipollini onions. Dessert was individual trays of pastries and a single creme brulee for each table. This was my first visit to Farmington Gardens and I walked away very impressed with the way they handled our event.

C is for horses and food trucks, A is for goats and the main stables, and B is what I would consider a separate property. Also, an event behind door B is not necessarily known behind gate A. I wasted 20 minutes trying to find anyone who knew what was going on. I would have ripped off a goat! I did eventually find the right place, and the venue is lovely. There's a lot of parking, More lots on the right side. The inside is beautiful with marble and a disco ball horse. I imagine other great events are held there. Bathroom are okay, although a little cramped by the sinks. The restroom stall doors opened right in front of them.

The store is a bright space with lots of interesting bath and skincare products, but the real highlight for me is the interesting assortment of toys on offer! When I walked by the store as it was getting set up, I immediately gravitated towards the small toy display by the window; there were so many interesting things on offer, like art cards, recycled toy trucks, and other little games. They also have items for babies, like soothers, and other more conventional toys from Melissa and Doug. I ultimately settled on a very cool kit to make bouncy balls that look like planets; I had seen this kit in a museum before, but to find it in a local store was quite a treat! I am sure my nephew will love it. Beyond just the assortment of products, Jessica, the owner, was so accommodating to shopping during COVID. I ordered the products I wanted online, walked up to the store, and called her; she was out with my bag right away! The pandemic has been so hard on many small businesses, but I can see that this little shop is thriving because of their thoughtful selection of products and because of the infrastructure they have in place to let people shop inside, curbside, or for delivery. I would strongly recommend that anyone in the area looking for unique products come take a look!

A professional organization I belong to has their golf outing and annual meeting (think scholarship awards, charity awards, installaton of new officers, door prizes, 50/50, etc.) in May. We just had the event at Tunxis for the first time and I drove away very impressed by everyting. The group had a 1:00 Shotgun Scramble, so lunch service started at 11:30. A buffet line was outside of the clubhouse with hot trays of sausage and peppers and grilled chicken breasts. A platter of hard rolls, lettuce, sliced tomatos, sliced onions, a basket with bags of chips, and buckets of water bottles and cans of soft drinks on ice completed the meal. I had a few sausage pieces and one piece of chicken and enjoyed them. Now, you may have noticed that the iced bucket of beverages didn't contain any alcohol. That's because there was a roving beer and beverage cart set up near the practice tees. Later in the day, the beer cart would roam around the course quenching the thirst of parched golfers. The cart was run by two super friendly young ladies, I ordered two Bloody Marys - one for me and one for my friend so we could sip our drinks checking people in at the registration desk. The Bloodys were $8.30 each. Not a bad price for a good sized drink. We had our group meal in the downstairs banquet room. Dinner was quite a feast- a buffet with pulled pork, sliced beef, broccoli rabe, green beans, tossed salad, clam chowder, cornbread, potato salad, and baked beans. Nice touches were squeeze bottles of steak sauce and barbecue sauce. If you wanted a beer, you could order at the bar just outsied our room, or wander into the restaurant bar across the hall. The food and service were fantastic, and I could not have been more impressed by my first consumer experience at the Tunxis Country Club.

There's a great art range, and the tour guide was very informative to the Pope family and the daughter Theodate who did a lot of the architectural designing. The house has a lot of great things to look at (between the art and furniture in all the rooms) and at the visitor's center there is a small art exhibit. No photos in the house allowed though. There are trails on the property and a sunken garden. On a nice weather day, it's great for walking around the property. It was crowded when I went on a Saturday, and tours are on the hour, so don't show up at the last minute. Overall, a great site to visit!

Our waiter Elijah had a cool vibe and was attentive. For drinks, I ordered their Valentine's Day special cocktail which was tasty and pretty. My boyfriend ordered a sour beer which he said was one of the best sours he's had. For appetizers, we ordered the flatbread which was spiced pumpkin, goat cheese and sage. It was so flavorful! I would definitely order again. We also ordered the Cajun tacos which were also very flavorful and good balance of flavors. Would also order again. For our entrees, I ordered the Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese with truffle fries. It was so delicious. I love that it was on sourdough bread and the cheddar cheese (I think it was cheddar) made every bite just so good. The fries were not the truffle that I was expecting. Instead of oil I think they used a seasoning so it was a little salty but I found that I couldn't stop eating them. My boyfriend ordered the bacon burger with pork belly and massive onion rings. He did say that he wish he ordered what I got and he said the pork belly was a little too crispy for his liking. Overall, I would recommend Five Corners Bistro. I can't wait to come back and try some more dishes!
