At this…read morepoint, my guests know the team and look forward to her delicious "crab cakes" and "beef Wellington bites". Judy works with me to create a food menu that matches the theme of the party and helps make the uniqueness of each party come to life. From a Game of Thrones to a Texas Shindig to a Fire & Ice party, there's nothing she won't try. I always have the bartender and a couple of servers to help. They set up, clear, and clean up so I can fully enjoy my party. Don't hesitate for large or small parties, The Savory Palate can customize a full menu to your wishes. Thanks to Judy, she and her team have become an integral part of my entertainment crew!

Luckily I had contacted Judy at Savory Palete, and in hindsight it was the best decision I could have possibly made. The stress of hosting was taken off my shoulders. I was able to mingle and have fun with my family and friends while the food was being taken care of. I received endless complements on the menu choices and the taste of food. Judy was easy to work with and went above and beyond for my guests. I would highly recommend her and her staff for any event. -Amanda Dauphinais

Really enjoyed the experience overall. The food was very good, creative, and flavorful, and the…read morevariety of beers on tap was definitely a highlight as the ambient The only small thing worth mentioning was the service felt a little inconsistent at times. I'm not sure if it was a shift change or just timing, but even though the restaurant wasn't very busy, it felt like we were left a bit on the side for a while. Nothing major, just something noticeable. Also, while the food is creative and well made, some items felt a bit pricey for the portion size (for example, a meatball serving), so value may depend on what you order. That said, it definitely wouldn't stop me from coming back. Good food, good beer selection, and overall a solid spot.

Boy I hate writing this. I've been going to Bears since it opened up in its first location, which…read morewas shared with another restaurant in an old gas station/drive-in... it was PHENOMINAL back then. I would bring everyone there. When they opened the new location in Windsor , it was still great. It was a birthday outing type of thing. I went again last week, which was likely my final time. For the past few years, I've been giving it a pass... growing pains, maybe? But the food is not what it was. The succulent, juicy brisket that I used to dream of has been dry and cold for the last year or so (probably 3 or 4 visits). The burnt ends, which used to be as addictive, are now no longer made from brisket...but what seems to be cubed chuck...again, dry. Texas sausage and pulled pork are still ok, as are the sides. On top of that, they are always short staffed, and the staff that they do have is not helpful...not friendly.. Just a big NOT anymore. I haven't been to the Hartford or New Haven locations recently, but as far as Windsor is concerned, it will not be going back anytime soon. I don't mind paying the premium prices for quality food and service, but you are no longer premium. Please figure this out. My favorite place no longer exists.. and I really want it to return to the quality of the past.

The food is excellent - not just "catering good" but truly restaurant-level good. The bar and cocktail service was top notch - we were able to pick a couple custom cocktails to add some personality to the experience. And the staff was equally excellent, including Brittney's communication and support throughout the process. Everything was so easy!

But, the hors d'oeuvres were substantial. Cheeseburger sliders were gourmet, meatball sliders, great, crab cakes, tomatoes and mozzarella skewers, cup w/ penne ala vodka, cooked perfectly with chiffons de basil topping. This was the perfect food for the environment we are living in now for the food to be passed, not touched by everyone, not sitting out, and great tasting. All hard to find together. For a party of 80, not one person waited for anything!

There was not one complaint about the food at our table! The pizza also was delicious here. The customer service was excellent here as well, they packed up our food for us, and even helped promptly with a water spill at our table. It was a happy accident stopping here!

I was really looking to trying this spot out for the first time, but it was pretty underwhelming…read more The style of the venue was fitting, but I didn't realize it was cafeteria style. I felt like it took away from what the experience should have been for $50 dollars worth of food. I got the ribs, brisket, mac and cheese, broccoli salad and the smoked wings. Ribs were top tier and I wish I just got a half rack of them as the brisket was dry and flavorless. Had to have it smothered in the BBQ sauce to have it taste like anything. The sauce was amazing but good meat shouldn't need a ton of sauce. Mac and Cheese was so bland we needed to add salt to it. Smoked chicken wings were above average but nothing I would be running back for and didn't have a strong smoky flavor. There are better options out there for a kick as wing. For the price, I was expecting to have my socks blown off and that did not happen. Better smokehouse places in CT that knock it out of the park with flavorful sides and meats.
