the service also was lacking...our waiter only came by once and it was only in passing. He never stopped even for a split second to ask how the food was. He asked it while walking to another table! more

I recently moved to West Hartford from Orange County California and it's simply the best. I've been to five star places all over the world, from New York City, Japan, Atlanta, to Santa Monica, San Francisco, Malibu, Newport Beach, Hollywood, CA and the right balance of service and food quality and options was unmatched. more

I went there for a quick meal after class. My friend and I sat at the bar and the bartenders were very polite and helpful, having never experienced oysters before she recommended some from various locations. It was great. started with kalimari, enjoyed some oysters, and then, topped it off with clam chowder which was also delicious. more

The food is amazing, and it is the place to "be sen" in Hartford. It is also pretty pricey. more
