10. Wood-N-Tap
Overall Ratings
4 based on 186 reviews
Reviewed By NatSteveC
There are a lot of restaurants in the Rocky Hill area but we chose the Wood-N-Tap after much debate as we wasn't sure what we fancied to eat that night. We made a good choice. The waitress was friendly and attentive, the food was fabulous and the price was about right. It was a busy place, but this did not affect the level of service we received. I had the veggie burger and my husband had the classic. Both were great. Would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area.
9. The Capital Grille

We have made The Capital Grille our go-to venue for special events and we had four birthdays to celebrate -- husband's, mother-in-law's, stepfather-in-law's, and my impending milestone event. The valet parking (LAZ) was attentive and polite. Our OpenTable reservation was immediately honored. Our table was decorated for the birthdays, which was a nice touch. The server was professional. The description of specials was problematic, as there was no price offered for each appetizer and main course items. Also, I ordered a Perrier, but was asked if a Pellegrino was acceptable, which it was: I was very surprised to see a large bottle of sparkling water, when I was expecting a single-serving size -- particularly as I was the only person drinking sparkling water (and would have been perfectly happy with a club soda from the soda gun at the bar). We ordered appetizers, steaks and two sides. The lobster bisque and clam chowder were reported to be excellent; the corn chowder seemed a bit thin; the beet salad was a miss -- the beets were too thick and use of red and yellow beets would've made the plate pop, rather than just red beets. All the steaks were excellent. The creamed spinach was good; the au gratin potatoes had a novel topping, but we prefer the au gratin potatoes at J. Gilbert's. Complimentary desserts were provided and received excellent reviews, although I ordered a creme brûlée and took mine home. The server kindly got an extra bone or two for our pups at home, which they devoured this morning. One minor complaint: we had thought that the remainders of the bread basket would be in the leftover bag, but perhaps we should've made that clearer by putting the breads on a plate -- I was looking forward to toasting the dark bread for breakfast this morning. Long story short -- my so-called "acid test": would I go back? Yes, we like The Capital Grille for special occasions and will return for anniversaries and birthdays in the coming years.

Whenever I have anyone out of state visit this is the first place I bring them. I don't usually like pancakes, but they have THE BEST. Get the Cinnabon Pancakes, you'll thank me later. They also have a lot of healthy options (I usually get a side of egg whites with the pancakes) because balance, you know?

As a travel professional I attended a meeting at Dakota Steakhouse and the number of private meeting areas is commendable. While there our group enjoyed dinner.We had the steak and scallops and it was the first time in ages that a waitress asked me when presenting my meal to cut into the steak to make sure it was to my liking.It certainly was. they also have a murder mystery each month which sounds interesting. We will be back.Great to hear. Please check our website for updates or sign up for our newsletter via the website. Thank you for your business.

I was surprised by how large this restaurant is, and that it's been in existence for 25 years, then I had a lobster and understood why it's so large. Especially note worthing is the honey bread served before the meal. Our server Kayla recommended that we save room, it was delicious. We ordered fried calamari for an appetizer for the two of us, I would recommend reserving the calamari for groups of four or more as it is large The coleslaw and lobster were delicious. But the fries seemed greasy.
5. Ken's Corner Breakfast & Lunch

Reviewed By Neemr22
Every month a friend & I choose a place for breakfast or lunch. This month it was Ken's. We got there at 8:30 and got one of the few empty tables. By 9:00 the place was packed with 15 to 20 people waiting. We both ordered a pancake with my friend ordering hash and I added the home fries. The pancake was as big as a frizzbee and was hanging off the plate. He pancake was very good and the home fries were outstanding. My friend finished his hash which he throughly enjoyed. I'm glad we tried Ken's and would be happy to go again.

This is a terrific place for seafood lovers.I had the bouillabaisse ($28), although it had a different name on the menu. It is a mix of a small lobster, mussels, clams, etc. Delicious. One of our group had lobster pasta ($25)and another the halibut ($32). Everyone raved about their food choice. We shared starters of a very good fried calamari and 6 Noank oysters. I can't blame Max Fish for the size of the oysters which were very small. They seem to be like that everywhere. I haven't had a plump oyster since I was in Paris and Tokyo, two places where you don't mess around with food quality.There are menu choices for those who don't like seafood.The cocktails were expertly created.Our waitress was very nice and a pro.

Small shop right on Main street, country atmosphere. Staff very helpful. 3 of us ordered grinders, mine being meatball with onions peppers and cheese. Bun was toasted but the overall taste and flavor was just average. I ordered small, 8", and couldn't finish it. Just ok .

Another great evening at J Gilbertâsâa super way to wrap up the Labor Day holiday weekend. Martinis were excellent and 1/2 price wine on Mondays is hard to beat. Fabulous buffalo mozzarella and heirloom tomato salad to start followed by a sirloin steak for hubby and filet & shrimp combo for me. Totally awesome and Rob, our server, made it a relaxed and wonderful evening with dinner in the barâour favorite. We have been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Thanks for a great time.

Four us us arrived at about 4:00 for Happy Hour. When we seated outdoors, the waitress brought dinner menus. We asked for and received happy hour menus. The selections were such that to satisfy your appetite, you needed to order two. The calimari was especially delicious as were the sliders. The drinks were good as was the service. Before departing, we took a look inside the old building an met the owner who was an very interesting and informative person. All in all, we will be going there in the future. Old Wethersfield is a beautiful area in Connecticut and worth a visit just to see the homes.
