Chef Jordan and Kristen have created something special. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully balanced. The scallops with charred corn and bacon were outstanding, the gnocchi were light and pillowy, and both the swordfish and airline chicken were cooked perfectly. The garlic potato gratin and salsa verde complemented each dish without overpowering it. Dessert was just as memorable. The local cheese course was excellent, but the triple chocolate cake absolutely stole the show. It'll be living rent-free in my head for a while. The hospitality was warm, the pacing was perfect, and the passion behind every plate was obvious. Bonus: it's BYOB. If you appreciate chef-driven restaurants where quality comes before quantity, 1912 deserves a reservation. We'll definitely be back.

Recently my friend Dan R's glowing review of the Sunrise Cafe at the Exchange reminded me that I should go see their newest opening. I arrived at the Exchange, of course their biggest attraction is Butchers & Bakers. I parked all the way to left, the Sunrise Cafe is all the way to the right. It took me a bit of circling to find where it is. Once I found it, it is to the left of a hair salon. The space inside is super clean and fresh, you can tell it's brand new. They also have an outdoor patio, it's like a little garden, which I would imagine is why they're called the Sunrise Cafe. They have some breakfast options, some salads and some wraps. There's also some Polish specialties. The owner might be Polish. I noticed the prices were very reasonable. I wanted to get the avocado toast, it was priced at just $3.50. This is usually $8 - $10 everywhere else. The lady apologized and informed me they haven't received their avocado shipment. I got the BLT wrap instead. This was $6.50. I also got a small coffee for $2.00. Here you're not going to find your specialty coffee. This is just your basic hot coffee, in small or large. They did have a few options of flavored coffee creamer pods. Since they have just opened, I think they're going to expand their coffee menu with time. After around 10 minutes my BLT was ready. There was mayo, a substantial amount of freshly cooked bacon and lettuce. The tomato was chopped, I would prefer it if it was sliced. This was a very filling lunch. My coffee was strong and hot. I was very pleased by this cute little spot for lunch! The people working here are super friendly. I hope they stick around at the Exchange for a while to come.

They call out to you when your order is ready. There are quite a few tables inside and if you make your order "to go" you can bring it outside to other tables and a picnic area. We had a "special" of beef stroganoff and also a chef's salad. The strognaoff was good not great. The chef's salad was very nice. Prices are favorable in comparison to other nearby establishments. Open until 3pm each day for breakfast and lunch. 4 stars may be a little generous but it is worth a try and we will go back to try some other menu items.

Nice little bistro inside of the museum with quality food and good service…read more No need to leave the museum to get lunch! The overall quality of food and service is good enough to justify coming even if you're not viewing the collection (tell them at the desk so you don't pay admission for art you're not there to see). The menu is compact, but imaginative and varied and the food is high quality. The dining room borders the courtyard making for a nice setting (cool wall treatment too) and seasonal outdoor seating. I opted for a Reuben: nicely balanced on a tasty marbled bread. Out server Alycia wisely advised me to upgrade from fries to Brussels sprouts with the amazing (for Hartford) vino cotto sauce. Easily the best deal in town, they are delicious! On the downside, the little side of cold bean salad was bland and some workman was going at something pretty hard with a hammer drill during lunch service. I therefore have to ding them a star. On the bright side, the work's probably finished by now so you can have a relaxing meal. Something a little different and fun whether you're an art connoisseur or not!

The small restaurant was like a deli with several tables inside and a lovely outdoor patio that really elevated its overall atmosphere. We placed our order at the inside counter and grabbed a table outside. Throughout our visit, we experienced extremely pleasant and gracious service from Fina and a young man, both of whom were cooking and delivering the food. Though this caused things to move on the slower side, they really had their system down to a science, managing our meals and the several takeout orders that I saw being collected. The lunch menu had various salads, sandwiches, and burgers on offer. I selected the Chicken Gyro, which used a real grilled chicken breast that had been sliced, rather than those pre-cut strips that always seem to contain fillers. The chicken was a tad dry, but the homemade tzatziki sauce, which was heavily infused with dill, helped to add moisture to the sandwich. I had opted for a whole wheat wrap, rather than a pita, and I loved that they had lightly toasted the completed dish, even with its inclusion of romaine lettuce and diced tomatoes. That method gave the wrap an improved texture and a slight crunch. I sampled a few of my companion's fries, which were thin, crispy, and had a real rustic flavor that resembled potato skins. They were great! Fina's Kitchen was a real gem, hidden among an industrial area and catering to the local businesses. It was a great find!

I ordered sausage gravy and biscuits, over medium eggs and spicy home fries. The food was well executed. The eggs had a bit of run as I like, but they were over medium as ordered. The biscuits were solid. The gravy had big chunks of tasty sausage. The home fries were tasty. It says a l lot that I only planned to eat half of the food, but I couldn't stop eating it.
