"First time here. We sat at the bar and had a fun time with the bartender, Janelly, who ABSOLUTELY knew what she was doing because my Old Fashion and Bourbon Sour were excellent. We only had apps and salads so didn’t explore the full menu, but what we had was very good, particularly the wings - they were on point - crispy and flavorful. The chili, topped with a combination of cheddar cheeses was also quite good. The salad was served in an edible taco bowl and was yummy. Sliders were solid too. 😋 There was a private event taking place in most of the dining area and the DJ was really loud, plus there were some folks at the bar whose natural decibel level seemed to be 6 million (my poor watch was warning me about the loud environment 😝), but if it’s not typically that loud, we would definitely return."

"The food here was so good!! My sister and I both got the chicken Caesar cutlet and it was amazing. My sister said it was the best sandwich she has ever had. Also, we went to watch the UNC basketball game (which was playing at the same time as the UConn game) and the workers and patrons there were kind enough to put the UNC game on one of the UConn screens. Overall a great experience!"

"I have been meaning to leave this review for MONTHS now and am FINALLY getting around to it. My husband and I were in town for the weekend were driving around famished and happened upon this little cafe. I have to admit that our expectations were not very high, since it seemed to be more of a tavern than a restaurant, and had done out at a pricey cafe in NYC the night before where the food was tasty but the service subpar (at best) but we were PLEASANTLY surprised at what a great experience it turned out to be! The moment we stepped in the door, both women behind the bar cheerfully greeted us with smiles. One escorted us to our table and took our drink order. I only wanted water, but my husband ordered a Diet Coke and then offered me a sip of it, asking if it tasted OK. I hadn't had a fountain DC in years and admitted that it tasted a bit off. One of our servers had obviously witnessed the exchange and immediately came over to ask if we were unhappy with the drink. We said that it tasted "a little off", but no big deal. She said that the canister might need replacing and insisted on dumping out the drink, attaching a new syrup canister and subsequently providing a far better tasting drink for him. I ordered the Alpine chicken sandwich on a GF roll and was delighted at the quality of the prep, the taste of the chicken, mushrooms and onions but mostly was shocked at how soft, fresh and moist the roll was for being gluten free. The sandwich was delicious and the accompanying side of fries was just the way I like them: thick, crisp on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. As we were preparing to leave, a groom and his groomsmen stopped in for shots on their way to his wedding. When we approached the bar to ask for our bill, the wedding party asked us to partake in some shots (we declined since we were getting back on the road) but wished them all well. One of the gentlemen grabbed the two of us to pull us into their celebratory photos. =) Overall, the food was delicious, the atmosphere upbeat, and the service top notch; very attentive, friendly and fast!"

"Service was INCREDIBLE!!! The food was SOOO delicious. This is the beat service I’ve ever received, we were promptly seated, our drinks came as soon as we ordered them, they took our order quickly, and the food came quickly. They also checked on us constantly and even took a picture of me and my family for us. 10/10 recommend if your in Hartford!! +the owner is very nice and knows what hes doing."

"AMAZING. The food here was incredible. my boyfriend and i were visiting connecticut for the day and randomly found this place. We both got their grinders for only $6 each because of their deal on tuesdays. Mine was so delicious, and our server was super nice as well!! The place wasn’t busy as it wasn’t really lunch or dinner time so the service was quick. I would definitely consider making the 2 hour trip back to connecticut just to eat here!!"
