They fry to order. It's nothing like fresh fried fish. Mrs. Johnsons sold Johnson's fish market to Paul over 27 years ago. Initially it was a hit or miss. They have improved greatly. I respect how Paul kept everything inside Johnson Fish Market the same. He never changed the ambiance. When you are in the Northend of Hartford C,T. Please stop into Johnson fish market.

"Fish heads, fish heads Roly-poly fish heads…read moreFish heads, fish heads Eat them up, yum" (Barnes and Barnes) I've seen a few reviewers praise Island Fish Heads as the home of the best Jamaican food in Hartford, so I walked in for lunch with high expectations, and those expectations were decisively met. I had their curry chicken with cabbage and rice and peas, and everything was very good. The chicken was cooked perfectly; it was super moist and very flavorful. As fans of Jamaican food are no doubt aware, be careful of the bones in your container. The cabbage was tender and had a bonus of diced carrots and corn mixed in. The rice and peas were some of the best I've ever had. The rice was soft and fluffy and mixed with plenty of a very zippy curry. Service was perfect, with a smiling and very friendly gent taking my order. Parking is available on Albany Avenue and in a small lot on the corner of Green Street.

They were blasting Christian…read moresong, which seemed nice at first, but then she hesitated to turn the music down so that she could hear me ordering. I ordered some food and asked her a question and she presented as irritated frowning, up her face looking at her watch and sighing- if you're going to act this way, why work with the public? Then she proceeded to give me a large of a meal that I ordered with barely any meat in it and a bunch of watered down vegetables. When I asked her for additional meat where she could put the meat in first and then put the vegetables on top she said no. For $25 I told her she could keep it. I might have bought it if the customer service was better but you're going to try to overcharge me and give me poor customer service. You can keep your food. Also, please don't blast Christian music when your treatment of your neighbors doesn't work Christ at all.

3.75 stars. It's probably best to go into Naatiya with appropriate expectations. If you are…read morelooking for a super fancy upscale place then you should look elsewhere. But if you can deal with some comforts being absent (nice lighting, cool building, impeccable design), then you are likely in for a good meal. I came for the spring dosa. Dosa are crepe-like South Indian creations that I find best when they are thin, long and crispy. So the ones at Naatiya were a touch thicker than I like, definitely gigantic, and mostly crispy around the edges. However, I should note the thickness was important because Naatiya generally stuffs their dosas as compared to any other Indian restaurant I've been to in the United States. Frankly, they were even more stuffed than the ones I've eaten at home. What is in the stuffing of a spring dosa? Well, I hope you love potatoes because that is going to be the main answer. These potatoes are stir fried in a slightly spicy masala and paired with onions and tomatoes. It's a little more involved than your standard masala dosa. What comes with your dosa? In this case, you get two small sides of coconut chutney and tomato chutney. I would have been thrilled with an extra side of the coconut chutney but didn't ask. Also, you get a bowl of sambar which I think is best described as a traditional spicy vegetable curry prominently featuring Indian cucumber. It's great and I usually pair it with idli (which is also on the menu at Naatiya). I didn't ask for a side of gunpowder (a ground mix of various spices and beans) that I usually use for dosa because I saw that was an entirely different order at Naatiya. That said, I'll probably see if they are willing to provide some of it on a future order as it really adds an entirely new dimension to the dosa experience. TL:DR - you can get dosa here and it's great. Go for casual Indian food.

There's always a little pressure when a dinner is part reunion, part catch-up, part "please let the restaurant be good enough to match the occasion," and Republic absolutely came through. The whole evening was fantastic. Shane took great care of us and struck that perfect balance of being attentive, personable, and making everything feel easy. He helped the night flow in a way that let us relax, laugh, catch up, and enjoy ourselves without ever feeling rushed. The dinners across the table were a hit, but my Moroccan lamb special was next-level. It was one of those meals where you take a bite and immediately stop mid-conversation because your full attention has been redirected to the plate. The flavors were rich, layered, and so unexpectedly good that I'm still thinking about it. Everyone loved their meal, the atmosphere made it easy to settle in and enjoy the evening, and the prices felt very reasonable, especially for how good the whole experience was. All in, Republic Gastro Pub gave us exactly what you hope for in a night like that: great food, great service, lots of laughs, and a dinner worthy of the reunion

The drinks in particular were very well balanced and thoughtfully curated. Ambience was cozy and upscale, with some prices to suggest this restaurant may be better suited for special occasions rather than your regular hang. Service was just-ok. No complaints but nothing special either, and the table near the door that we sitting at was probably near a heating vent because it was a little uncomfortably warm. Overall, yes, I would go back to dine here and I would recommend Republic Gastropub.
