Went on a Wednesday and only 2-3 other tables were occupied. No fresh iced tea or iced coffee. Ordered a chicken quesadilla and a ghost pepper small pizza. Both were very good. More than enough for each person, with some to take home. The waitress said the pizza would be spicy hot, but it really wasn’t, but it had good flavor. I switched the cheese on it when I ordered it. Didn’t feel rushed. There were booths and tables and a bar. Would definitely try again.

Went with a friend on a rainy Saturday, and were seated along the windows. Each time the door opened, we felt a cold chill come in.Ordered our food and coffee; loved the coffee, but my eggs were cold.The servers were all very friendly and they kept my coffee mug filled. Just can’t give any more than 3 stars for cold breakfast eggs.

Antonio's Restaurant

Reviewed By markp0298

We usually order the Elm City Haddock. Because we can’t eat carbs, Antonio’s allows us to substitute extra zucchini and mushrooms instead of rice. We get the same booth overlooking a beautiful aquarium. Antonio’s is full of nicknacs to keep your dinner ambience interesting. The food and service is very good. The fish is well priced and they accept American Express. We have gone to this family owned restaurant many times and shall return with friends.

Sat at the beautiful bar and the bartender provided exceptional service. Friendly, offering samples, responsive to our concerns. Great tap menu. Food menu was great but food itself was meh...my husband's taco came without the promised pick de Gallo, which the bartender immediately provided. She could not fix the obvious fact that his meal had sat too long under a light. My fish was overcooked. We saw at least 1 other meal go back to the kitchen during our short visit. Beautiful place, great service. .but the kitchen needs workHi BeautifulVox, Thank you for the great review on our service and atmosphere.

Harvest Cafe Bakery

Reviewed By steveh_simsbury

I've heard good things about this place but was disappointed when I finally visited. I ordered a simple breakfast - eggs over medium, home fries and toast. The eggs were under-cooked. The home fries were overcooked but not in a good, "extra crunchy" way. They were black from too-high heat. I would have sent it back but I was on my way home from the airport after 16 hours of traveling. I would expect to pay $10 for two eggs, toast and home fries in a nice hotel restaurant, but in a place like this that's just too much.

Metro Bis

Reviewed By muffinAvon

We had not dined at the newest location for Metro Bis until now and it is really intriguing. When one views the exterior of the former Joseph Ensign House, one tries to imagine what the interior will be. I must say that I was surprised to see an eclectic dining area: somewhat modern with high ceilings, unusual hanging light fixtures, comfortable seating, but with antique features like lace on the windows! The menu posed a problem because it was composed of many choices which made decisions difficult! My husband chose the calamari, which was unusual in its thickness, followed by the Pan Seared Trout with warm tomato bacon vinaigrette and basil pesto and sweet potato bacon hash. He finished every bite! I had the beet salad with citrus Napa Cabbage, goat cheese, shaved onion and basil! I love beets, but find them too difficult to prepare so this was a real treat. My entree was the Crispy Duck Confit with wheat berry-vegetable brandied cranberry ragout in a black pepper - red wine reduction...absolutely delicious and tender! (How the chef comes up with these dishes amazes me)! Somehow we managed to save room for dessert. My husband enjoyed the Warm Apple Tart and said it was the best dessert he had had in a long time. My Key Lime Tart was yummy! We found the service to be very good. While it seemed that we had one main server, several others also participated in bringing items, filling our water glasses etc. We will certainly return to Metro Bis in the future!

i joined family members for a special birthday celebration. Millwrights is a beautiful setting with an amazing view of the waterfalls. We had the perfect table near the window. Millwrights was very accommodating to our requests and we were able to celebrate with our own cake (cutting fee of $2.50 per person). Millwrights presented the table with complimentary champagne for the celebration. Our food was the best part of the evening. I had their Farm Salad and Scallops. Both were perfectly prepared and delicious. The wait staff had somewhat of an attitude at times, like when I asked for forks instead of a spoon to eat my cake. Also, the restaurant would not let us light the cake, because we were told that it was a safety issue with an old building. It was overall, a very pleasant evening.Good evening, Thank you for joining us and for taking a few minutes to write a review about your experience with us. We're happy you selected us for your special occasion location. Thank you for bringing any staff attitude to our attention. We apologize that you felt there was an undesirable attitude when you asked for a fork. We will discuss with our staff. We apologize if there was any confusion about our birthday cake policies. This information was discussed with the point of contact prior to the reservation. If you would like to discuss anything further, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm happy to help.

Reviewed By kkdesigns3

I was in the CT area because I was taking a trip to FL. My flight was cancelled so I had to stay in a hotel. I needed lunch and asked the front desk where they would recommend. The lady said Bobby Vs. I wasn’t expecting such a huge place. Tvs were stacked on each other and circled the room. I just got there when they opened but as the room filled for lunch so did horse and dog racing lovers. This place is the spot to go to for horse and dog betting, along with watching sports of all kinds. The bartender was amazing. Their beer selection was plentiful. I had some beers and their potato pulls. They were so delicious! They resemble potato skins but these were crispier and easier to eat. I even sat next to a nice man at the bar who gave me horse and dog tips if I wanted to bet. I did play some keno though. People were friendly, place was clean and plenty of parking. When I’m in the area again I will make sure I stop in! I highly recommend this place for good food, great service, fun betting and friendly people.

I requested a seat outside because it’s a beautiful day. I was given a menu. 10 minutes went by during which two other parties were seated outside. A waitress finally appeared And proceeded to take the order of a couple that arrived after I did. After taking their order, she looked right through me and proceeded to take the order of a group that had also arrived after me. I pointed out to her that I had arrived first, At which point she asked me what I wanted, and I said nothing. As I got up to leave I heard this waitress and the larger group laughing. Not so much as an apology for leaving me sitting there for 10 minutes as if I were invisible. I will never eat here again. Extremely rude service.I am sorry that Caitlin did not approach you first when she got out to the Deck. Unfortunately our bartender scheduled for Thursday lunch called out sick forcing Caitlin to set up the bar and the restaurant with help from me. There were a number of customers who had just sat at the bar and tables inside the pub when you walked in as I was leaving to pick up some plant at a local nursery with a landscaper who had arranged to take me to the Nursery and help select plants at their annual customer appreciation day. Of course being short one employee puts a strain on service and we did manage to get another server to come in early to help, but he did not arrive until 30 minutes after you left unhappy.After I sat you, I did seat two other groups on the deck and Caitlin made it out within a couple minutes, not 10. Caitlin intended to get everyone's orders on the deck before returning inside as that is the most time efficient way to work. I am sorry she approached the first table that closest to the door she came out rather than asking who was sat first. She told me that she did apologize three time to you and I believe her. She is a little meek sometimes and you may not have understood her. I don't think anyone on the deck was laughing at you. People do joke a bit to relieve a stressful situation as when someone is upset and leaves abruptly. When I gave you a menu I thought everything was good for you. I wish I had taken your order to get things started for you, but I was distracted by our landscaper and project I needed to complete that afternoon. If there is anyway I can make things right for you, please contact Scott at the pub.
