Despite the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, our large group had a flawless dining experience at Anthony Jacks. The wait staff was exceptional, managing our complex orders perfectly and delivering everything in a timely manner. The food was fantastic, receiving high praise from everyone at the table. We will definitely be returning with our group next year

6/1/25: classic pork milanese (lunch portion)
Valerie R.

We had a great meal at Anthony Jacks! Some of the reviews were iffy, but we went anyway because the menu looked good. Three of us went for lunch on a Sunday. We had great service, tasty food, and the prices were reasonable. All of our meals were large enough to take home leftovers for a second serving. We were all very happy with the quality and flavor of the food. There is ample free parking behind the restaurant in the municipal lot. There is also some street parking if you get lucky enough to snag a spot!

Our waiter Christian was top notch, thank you! Nice bar, nice menu, great food! Huge portions, we should have shared! I went with the pork Milanese, something different! And crème brûlée desert!

Salmon with green beans
Gail P.

So we decided to try Anthony Jacks . For an appetizer we had the crispy fried eggplant which is amazing . I had the Salmon with green beans it also comes to mashed potatoes, but I was looking for something light . The salmon was seasoned perfectly and was tasty . My husband had the Sword fish which he really enjoyed . The atmosphere was industrial like (nothing fancy) very casual not really a first date place. The service was just OK I think our server was a bit confused. Maybe it was his first time .

Had a lovely time starting off patio season with my friends at Anthony Jack's. They have a nice outdoor seating spot with an awning. The service was phenomenal. Food is decent I had the steak tip marsala (not pictured). My friend shared some shrimp cocktail with me and they had some salads which is perfectly refreshing for the summer. The steak was a little bit overcooked, but everything was well seasoned. I tried one of each mocktail that was available and my favorite is the strawberry mint fizz.

I felt that our food was subpar. My friend did also. Where do I begin ? I ordered muscles they were tiny and flavourless. My friend ordered the scallops and felt that they were not fully cooked. For the amount of money we paid we felt that things definitely were lacking.

Tables were close proximity for our large group that attended. Service was attentive and pleasant. I ordered the special which was beef tips teriyaki. Absolutely delicious and beef was tender.

Spinach & Parmesan Dip
Diana A.

Went out for a date night and based off other reviews decided to give this place a try. We are so glad we did. The place was pretty busy but we were seated fairly quickly. Our waitress did seem tired but tried to remain friendly. This is farm to table service which we loved! They bring out each course when you're ready allowing you to really enjoy each course. Drinks: Kentucky mule 10/10 perfect blend between bourbon and ginger beer When seated you receive fresh bread w/olive oil & balsamic (very yunmy) Appetizer: Spinach & Parmesan Dip 9/10 - we wish it wasn't as thick Cesar Salad 9/10 Filet Mignon 9.5/10 - only "complaint" is asked for medium and received medium well. Still delicious and not worth asking for a new one. Bbq ribs & pulled pork 10/10 - sauce was sweet/spicy very good. Didn't have room for dessert but hoping to go back & make room!

Steak and Chicken Tips
Joseph S.

Had an opportunity to check out Anthony Jacks in Southington. I visited them on a Sunday evening. We called to put our name in (per their recommendation) ahead of time, but the place wasn't busy at that time we arrived (always a good practice though). We were seated near the window at a 2 person table. I was expecting a draft, but when I sat down, I noticed it wasn't drafty at all. The setting is a very quiet one (at least on the day that I went). It was perfect for a date night out when you want to hear the person you are on the date with. The menu offered a decent variety of options. A solid amount of the dinner dishes were seafood or steak, though. It's not an issue, just something to note. The prices are in the $$ range. When you arrive at your table they bring rolls (common practice) BUT they give you what appeared to be a small amount of mashed potatoes covered in garlic and olive oil to dip the rolls in. INTERESTING. Those rolls carried us nicely into our salads. I ordered the Steak and Chicken Tips. It was delicious. They were cascaded with veggies over a bed of mashed potatoes. The mushrooms were cut perfectly for single biting. My date (my wife) got the Cranberry Chicken and substituted for roasted potatoes instead of mashed. She was happy with the flavor balance of the chicken and the roasted potatoes had a crusted texture that added to the whole meal. Server was very attentive the whole meal. The food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. I will be back for another date very soon.

We had planned to go somewhere else but it was late on a Saturday night and that place was busy so…read morewe last minute pivoted to here. Upon arriving we'd realized we'd eaten at this restaurant before (when it was in a different location) and eaten in this building before (when it was a different business). Caesar salad appetizer was excellent. Kids Mac and cheese was maybe one of the best Mac and cheeses we'd ever had, kids or not. And it was great as a pizza topping. My wife and I split a wagyu burger and The Craft Pie. The burger we believe we got someone else's, it was missing the espresso aioli and prosciutto jam. It wasn't until we finished it that we realized it was way different than we expected. The pizza was excellent however. I could have done without the pears but so many other flavors that were excellent, though the real winner was the sour cherries. I'd come back again just for this pizza.

A friend of mine and I went to Craft Kitchen for lunch on this Thursday…read more There was plenty of parking to the right of the restaurant, and the side entrance was right there. As I walked through the front doors, I noticed kegs alongside on the floor. This was kind of a turn off, kind of reminds me of a dive bar. So my mentality kicked in that we were going into a dive bar serving food. I kinda get the sketchy feeling. Once we were seated, and menus placed, we were served iced water A few minutes later, the server came back and took our order. My friend ordered a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, and some string french fries. I ordered the 1/2 smoked chicken, which came with two sides. I chose the rattlesnake beans and the creamy macaroni and cheese. Also include included was cornbread I originally wanted the street corn, as a side, but it was not available. Our lunches came quick, and my friend only ate half the french fries and cheeseburger, as she wasn't really turned on by them. The smoked chicken was fairly dry, with a very interesting smoked flavor to it that I can't put my finger on. I eat about 1/3 of it. Left the rest on the plate. The creamy macaroni and cheese was out of bounds top-notch. I could've eaten this all day. The rattlesnake rice and beans were just OK. The rice was cooked pretty good, and was seasoned well. The beans had a weird taste. Now thinking of this side dish, I was hoping for raw onions to be on top, but they were nowhere to be found. It'll be nice if there was chopped raw onions to go with this. The cornbread was delicious. I ate about half of it. It was a generous slice. While the server was fairly attentive, as she only checked in to fill the water glasses and ask how lunch was. She didn't ask us if we wanted a desert or coffee. Being old folks this would've been a great up for us, but it didn't happen. I had to ask for the check. I'm not sure if I would come back. I think this might be a one and done. The vibe just didn't hit it for me. Restrooms were clean. The restaurant was clean; the silverware clean. I don't know. It just was like a funky type layout and those beer kegs kinda sent the wrong tone to me as a guest. Lunch for the two of us was $40 and change and I left a $10 tip. We didn't have any cocktails or mock tails, we didn't have coffee or dessert either. From what I understand, the owner was near the exit when we left, not even a smile or a thank you for coming in...

My first time here, first time having Greek food. Went with a friend who has been to Greece several…read moretimes. We were greeted as soon as we got through the door. Not a very large place, but definitely enough room for those that want to sit inside for thier meal. Very nice area outside with tables and umbrellas also. The food....amazing!! It came out fast, and brought directly to our table, with courtesy and care. I had the pork gyro platter. It was delicious! Very generous amount of meat, the tzatziki sauce you could tell was freshly made. Included was a salad, that had Kalamata olives, as well as big chunks of feta cheese! This place is definitely put on our repeat visit list. If I could give them 10 Stars I would! Well worth the not so large price that you pay !

It's a cute place - it's kind of placed randomly as part of a larger plaza which is very quiet on…read more Saturday. It was a quiet place overall but people came in and out for takeout. Parking is therefore pretty good, and there is outdoor and indoor seating. There are picnic tables outside, and regular tables and chairs inside. There is a restroom. The food was ready quickly. The hummus had a little kick to it, more then say a store brand. The crazy Greek gyro was huge. The sauce had something I didnt care for texture wise, but the taste was good . The chicken was savory. The serving was huge! Definitely a cute stop.

Just moved in town and was looking for somewhere to take my parents and kids to, was impressed by…read morethe good reviews and thought to give it a go. ** very nice decoration the design of the place is pretty cool. ** we had two drinks from the special drinks menu which was delicious. ** I noticed one waitress only for the entire floor poor girl was running around like a chicken without a head! ** two of our orders were not accurate the nachos we asked to remove the jalapeños but they served it with jalapeños also my son ordered burger with no cheese and we got it with cheese. ** rest of food was delicious except the blue crab ravioli was horrible not fresh salty a lot of vinegar we returned it paid for it no problem. ** my two kids ordered pepperoni pizza and cheese pizza both were tons of tomatoes souse on top of a flat bread( do not recommend them at all). ** love the short ribs, salmon was delicious even though the mashed potatoes was not mashed all the way and the waitress witnessed that and admitted it was not mashed all the way! Overall experience wasn't the best but definitely worth another chance.

I recently tried Ideal Tavern. There were some things I liked, but my experience was mixed…read more I arrived a bit before noon on a Saturday. The building is cool both inside and outside. It was also well decorated for the Fall Season. There were a few employees that were visible at times, but they weren't organized in such a way to provide a typical lunch experience. The person who was working the bar also served as hostess and my server in the main eating area. So I waited a minute or so at the host stand to be greeted while she finished a drink. There was also hammering in the kitchen area for a decent part of my lunch. My server was very nice though and hustled to try to meet everyone's needs. I believe Ideal Tavern recently won the Southington Wing Fest. So I wanted to try the wings. I asked my server what the most popular wing flavors are and she didn't have an answer. I ordered the Sweet Chili Gorgonzola because it looked like the most interesting option. I also ordered an Ideal BLT Burger. The wings and burger were brought together, which I didn't ask for. That obviously defeats the purpose of ordering an app. The wings were meaty and had great texture. They were more glazed than sauced. I thought the Gorgonzola component would be more of a sauce but there were actual pieces of Gorgonzola cheese. The Gorgonzola was good quality. The burger was big and cooked to my requested medium rare. I didn't note any seasoning. The burger came with cheddar, which isn't the best melting cheese. You could tell they tried to melt the cheese, but the cheese broke off rather than stretched when I pulled at the side. The bacon seemed like it was probably high quality, possibly uncured bacon. The texture of it wasn't great for a burger. It was hard in parts and too difficult to chew. I also wish the LT part of the BLT had a bit more focus. I didn't think the Truffle Aioli worked for a BLT either. The fries had kind of a unique wide swoop cut style. I think Ideal Tavern could pay a bit more attention to the details of what makes a good customer experience. They have some good things to work with though. 3.75
