    Buffalo Chicken Wrap
    Morgan L.

    Wood n Tap is a staple around here, but I haven't been in years. My husband and I wanted to stop somewhere close by to get a late lunch after a bike ride and decided on wood n tap. Service was great. Our server was very friendly and attentive, and the hostesses who also ran food occasionally were very friendly as well. They've renovated the interior since I was last there and it's very clean and cozy. You forget that you're right next to the Silas Deane. We ordered nachos which were quite tasty. They were loaded with toppings and nicely layered. I was pretty full after that, but my husband got a buffalo chicken wrap and I got a steakhouse salad thinking I would take some home. Unfortunately my salad was absolutely drowning in dressing. There was a pool at the bottom of the bowl. I ate the steak which was actually pretty good and I really liked the marinade, and I ate a little of the salad, but ultimately it was just too much dressing for me to enjoy and I couldn't take it home because of that. I liked all the flavors, but if I got it again I would request the dressing on the side. My husband liked his wrap well enough So the food had some highs and lows. I'd give it a 3/5. The service and overall atmosphere helped improve the experience though.

    Came by with hubby for some quick food and a drink before meeting up with friends later! I had my usual Point Judith Calamari and a delicious Mango MaiTai and hubby had a burger and an old fashioned! It was a quick delicious bite and always perfect!

    I stopped in after an appt nearby yesterday. My coworker highly recommended Taco Tuesday so I tried it. Fantastic flavors, presentation, and price on the hand made tacos! I had two chicken and one fish taco. I sat at the bar and enjoyed conversation with two other patrons. I can't wait to go back. I have had other entrees, and tacos outshined my past meals. The bartender was a doll

    Cajun Flatbread
    Christopher R.

    Me and my wife was out of town looking for a place to eat for dinner. We were told about this restaurant from a friend of mine. We went into the restaurant and were greeted by staff. We had to wait for five minutes for a seat. We started off with drinks and my wife had autumn flight and I had fireside cider. My wife loved her flight and the fireside cider was delicious. My wife ordered the short rib grilled cheese sandwich with fries. I ordered the Cajun flatbread with cauliflower crust. My wife loved here grilled cheese sandwich. She told me that the meat was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. My flatbread was cooked to perfection and very delicious. We ordered the fudge brownie which was phenomenal and the perfect ending to the dinner. The restaurant has a great ambiance and very customer friendly. A great place for a great meal.

    Birthday Brownie
    Kortny H.

    Amazing!!! I actually loved this place so much the first time I came back the next night while I was in town. I had the buffalo chicken wrap and I highly recommend. It was so great, especially with the blue cheese- perfect combo. The fries were delicious. On the second night it was my birthday and I ordered the brownie and ice cream. They wrote happy birthday on it which was so cute and thoughtful. Not only was it a huge brownie but it was also delightful. Highly recommend!!!

    Woodntap has always been my go to and continues to be. For someone who is gluten-free they are great with accommodating and having gluten-free items on the menu. The wings I have posted aren't gluten free but since I was with friends thought I would share them As well. I ordered the Margherita flatbread and it's heavenly. So fuffly , cheesy and good! Great for an app or meal. Salads are excellent! That's what I normally get or a burger! So many choices for us Gluten-free peoples! But i have been to all locations near me( southington, Newington, Rocky hill) and non disappoint. Always great staff, great service, good food. We were able to do happy hour, sat by the bar so it was even better. Great way to start the weekend. Our waiter must of gotten busy and took a while to check on us but besides that it was fine!

    Penne Alla Vodka with grilled chicken
    Melissa C.

    Food there is always decent and they have a couple selections on the happy hour menu. I got the penne alla vodka and nachos and both were good. Service is quick and friendly. They have a large space with good bar vibes and plenty of drink options.

    My Bowl of chili
    Dan R.

    Rock steady, baby That's what I feel now (Aretha Franklin) Let's be honest about it. Most of you in Connecticut have been to one of  Wood-n-Tap's nine locations. I know I have. And I also know that their food, service, and value have all  been steady and dependable. I'm on the board of a charitable organization and we had a planning meeting last night at this convenient location which was centrally located for us. It's so easy to find, basically sitting at the I-91 off ramp for Route 99. We ordered a variety of dinners -a fish and chips, some bowls of chili, some sliders, some vodka penne with chicken, a garden salad, some beers and a few cocktails. Our server was great -the young man was attentive, polite, responsive, and courteous. Everyone's food looked wonderful and as we dug in there were many compliments at our table. I went for a bowl of chili and a Garden salad. The chili was very good -hot in temperature and somewhat hot in spice level. I love chili and I loved Wood-n-Tap's version. Their dinner salad got high marks too, A very generous portion of greens and fresh veggies, sprinkled with cheese, bacon bits, and a few croutons. So the next time somewhat raises their eyebrows at eating at a chain restaurant, I'd think twice because Wood-n-Tap was pretty damned good to us.

    Happy hour espresso martini ($7)
    Sam B.

    Wood-n-Tap is always a great spot to stop for dinner or drinks! I came here with a friend on my way home from work a couple weeks ago for happy hour - or tappy hour as they call it (3-6). There was such a huge selection of seats to sit at in the bar room where we were able to order from the happy hour menu, which was great! Between the two of us we ordered the bar bites ($5), 2 chicken quesadillas ($6 each), and sweet potato fries ($3), This was more than enough food and we both went home with leftovers. The bar bites are a classic and were delicious as always. The quesadilla was great - I was surprised at hos big it was and how much chicken was in it. For drinks, I got an espresso martini ($7) and a spicy margarita ($7) which were both delicious! They had a great selection of happy hour drinks. Service was great as well, our server was very nice with a great sense of humor. Can't wait for my next visit!

    Pomegranate martini
    Jennifer B.

    Went for happy hour and sat in bar. Atmosphere was relaxed and chill. Bartender was very attentive and fun to talk with. This may be weird, but foot petal on bathroom door is brilliant. You don't need to touch the handle to open door....just use the foot petal Of course the pomegranate martini was Delicious as usual. Definitely one of my favorite drinks all time. Bar chicks and ta ow smelled too good to even get a photo. Sorry!! Absolutely going back again and again!!

    Salad
    Samantha M.

    Wood N Tap should give lessons to other restaurants on how to treat customers and handle take out. My order as usual was correct and the salad was perfect. The veggies were crisp and fresh, the perfect mix for a side salad. The dip is so rich, I saved half for lunch tomorrow. Nice think chunks of real artichoke are in there. This place is a cant miss stop at any one of their locations. Bring your appetite!

    Red sangria
    Chi A.

    This was my first time at this location and my friend and I had such a great experience. We skipped out of work early and started happy hour around 3pm :). The restaurant wasn't too crowded so we grabbed a booth and our waitress came over with our waters. We put in our orders which were a margarita (they were $3), a red sangria ($7), nachos, lobster grilled cheese and pasta. Yes, it was a lot but I took my lobster grilled cheese to go. I enjoyed everything but most importantly, our waitress was amazing. She really made us smile and I'm glad we had her. I also checked in on Yelp and got a free dessert (brownie w. ice cream).

    Winter menu: chimichurri shrimp
    Hannah B.

    Jeff is such an amazing server! Such a handsome and wonderful young man! He suggested we try the chimichurri shrimp and it was AMAZING! Definitely coming here again!

    My wife and I recently visited Prime Burger and had a great experience. I ordered a burger with…read moreblue cheese and sweet potato fries, while my wife had the Butcher Burger with regular fries. The food was delicious, and the burgers were packed with flavor. The sweet potato fries were very crispy and delicious. I would get the same meal again as would my wife. What really stood out was the outstanding service. Throughout our meal, several staff members checked in to make sure everything was good and asked if we needed anything. The attention and hospitality made us feel very welcome. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Prime Burger. In fact, I've already been back and will continue to return.

    Right away, the service stood out. Friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating without hovering…read more They knew the menu and let us enjoy the experience. We started with the chicken empanadas. Crispy on the outside, packed with well-seasoned chicken inside. Good spice, not overpowering. Came with a salsa and a ketchup-mayo style sauce, both worked, but the salsa had a little more life to it. Before that, warm ciabatta hit the table with a house-made dipping sauce. Oil-based with garlic, blue cheese, and a few other layers going on. The blue cheese gave it a subtle kick without taking over. Nice way to start. Now to the burger, the Luger Burger. I'm assuming it's a nod to the classic steakhouse, but didn't get full confirmation. The sauce is made in-house: slightly sweet, a little acidic (I picked up balsamic), smooth texture. It's a good sauce, it just needed a bigger voice on this burger. The burger itself is large. And I mean large. Menu said thick-cut bacon... that wasn't the case. Not a dealbreaker, but noticeable. Now I'm going to get a little critical, because this is where it matters. The burger needed more salt. There's a lot of beef here, and it can absolutely handle it. Even something as simple as salting the tomato would've helped bring things together. If the bacon had actually been thick-cut, that alone might've bridged the gap. This was a very beef-forward burger, to the point where the supporting flavors barely showed up. The patty felt a bit too tightly packed, which gave it a denser bite and let the beef dominate the whole experience. A looser grind or lighter hand forming it would've made it more tender and allowed everything else to come through. It also needed more acid. The Luger sauce was applied lightly, so either lean into it more or bring in something else, a pickle, a sharper onion, something to cut through the richness and balance it out. The bun was soft, nicely toasted, and held up well, which isn't easy with a burger this size. Fries were hand-cut, properly salted, and exactly what you want. No complaints there. Overall, this is a great spot. Clean, comfortable, nicely decorated. Staff was excellent. Food was good, with flashes of being really good. With a few small tweaks, mainly balance and execution on the burger, this could easily jump to the next level.

    Food: 3.8/5 Service: 3.4/5…read moreAmbiance: 3.7/5 Value: 3.6/5 The Charles is a nice upscale restaurant on Main Street in Wethersfield which opened in 2020 and quickly made Connecticut magazine's list of best restaurants. It is inside an old house of some sort, so it has a charming ambiance. They have a small parking lot so the spaces are a bit tight. Then, although we were on time for our 8:15pm reservation, we found out that they didn't have a table for us on the main floor, which is bad because my parents have mobility issues and cannot climb stairs. They asked us if we would be ok waiting five or ten minutes. Sure, that was fine we said. The host was very reassuring and he let us know that the corner table near the fireplace was finishing up and he'd get it bussed promptly. So that was good. But after we sat down we experienced service issues. Many items were unavailable. No orrechiete. No crab cakes. No sirloin special. It was weird. We hadn't arrived that late, on a Saturday night, how could so many dishes be sold out/unavailable? We ended up going with the scotch egg $11 and butternut squash arancini balls $12 for appetizers, which were both great. The scotch egg was a decent size and came with a mini salad. The arancini balls were small, but the truffle gorgonzola fontina cheese filling was really nice. Entrees were not bad. My Berkshire pork chop cooked medium was tender enough and had decent flavor. My Dad's veal ribs over mac and cheese were really good. My Mom's wagyu burger was tasty and my sister's salad was satisfactory. However the cost of the additional protein to the salad seems high (Grilled Chicken +14 / Seared Salmon +16/ Grilled Shrimp +21 / Churrasco Steak +24). The drinks were well made, but took a while to get to us. The "Charles... In Charge!" with old forester bourbon, montenegro, spiced cherry bitters, luxardo $15 was a hit. My Dad enjoyed his $17 Manhattan made with Angel's Envy bourbon. My $11 FreeBird mocktail was refreshing. Yet, throughout the night we found it difficult to get our server's attention. All four dishes did not arrive simultaneously. We had to flag someone down for more silverware after the appetizers were cleared. Right at the end when we were ready to pay, she got tied up listening to a couple at a neighboring table tell her a story or something. This must have been quite a yarn because she was totally enrapt and oblivious to our needs. We started wondering whether our table was actually her responsibility or not. Finally she came by and we let her know we were done, no dessert or after dinner drinks, just the check and a few boxes for takeout please. This was a new restaurant that we hadn't tried before, and maybe I took a risk by booking it for my Dad's 89th birthday, which was supposed to be special. Our experience was okay, and maybe we'd go again in the future, but there were too many more ups and downs this evening than I would have liked for a special occasion. I am rounding up to four stars overall, even though on this particular evening I didn't think each individual component met that mark exactly.
