    Bruschetta with peaches and burrata.
    Barbara B.

    Another perfect lunch! My friend and I shared the burrata, peach bruschetta and the beet salad. My only complaint was I wish it had more crispy prosciutto! The flavors all blended perfectly and it was plenty big enough for two. We also split the small beet salad which was perfect. After our relatively healthy lunch we decided to share the peppermint bark cheesecake which we agreed was delicious mouthfuls of chocolate ,peppermint with just a touch of cheesecake! I appreciated that both my cups of coffee were freshly brewed I look forward to my visits to this wonderful place and glad it's a perfect 1/2 way meeting place for me and my dear friend.

    We have been here several times and tonight was the best service we've had. Austin was great. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food. Even my 12 year old. He doesn't like Mac and cheese but he ate it here. My miso crusted salmon with faro peach salad was wonderful. Oh I almost forgot about the baked Brie. I didn't have any but everyone else said it was really good. Bring a big appetite because the portions are a nice size. The feel of the place is comfy and a little rustic. It's a great blend. I do recommend making reservations as the weekends are busy.

    Craft Kitchen blends open, industrial charm with cozy comfort. The high ceilings, warm lighting, and mix of bar and booth seating make it an inviting spot whether you're stopping in for lunch or lingering over dinner. There's both indoor and outdoor dining, and everything felt clean, spacious, and relaxed. We stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon, and seating was easy. Our server was attentive, friendly, and kept things moving smoothly. Parking is shared with nearby businesses, so while it was fine midweek, I imagine it could get tricky on a busy Friday night. Their menu covers brunch, lunch, and dinner. You'll find a mix of sandwiches, pizzas, soups, charcuterie, and skillets. My friend ordered the sangria, while I went for their Pumpkin Pie Mocktail -- a seasonal blend of pumpkin, apple, and maple that was surprisingly refreshing and full of fall flavor. You could really taste both the pumpkin and apple coming through in each sip. For my main, I ordered the Smokehouse Platter -- where you choose your meats (pick 1 for $18 up to 4 for $40). Every option comes with two sides and cornbread. I went with Pulled Pork and Spicy Pork Belly Burnt Ends, paired with mac and cheese and fries, plus an added side of Mexican Street Corn. The hickory wood smoking brought out a deep, rich flavor without overpowering the meats. The pork belly wasn't exactly spicy, but beautifully seasoned, tender, and perfectly charred on the ends.The pulled pork was also flavorful, smoky and moist texture. Other meat selections include half chicken, jalapeño cheddar sausage, brisket (+$6), burnt ends (+$10), and a half rack of baby back ribs (+$14). The mac and cheese deserves its own shout-out -- creamy, cheesy, and comforting without an upcharge like most places (and definitely not Kraft). The cornbread added a nice savory touch against the sweetness of the meats, while the street corn was perfectly grilled, juicy, and full of flavor. My cousin ordered a burger and loved it -- juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. Portions are generous; honestly, my platter could have easily fed two. I enjoyed the mac and cheese so much I ordered another one to-go -- always a good sign. Overall: Craft Kitchen delivers solid service, great flavors, and a relaxed atmosphere. The pricing feels fair for the portions, and everything tasted thoughtfully prepared. Perfect for casual meetups, family dinners, or laid-back nights out. Next time, I'm coming back for brunch.

    We've been here several times and have always had a phenomenal meal. I love their smoked wings and their barbecue. Excellent flavor, well seasoned and smoked, not too salty. good portion of meat. I also appreciate that they serve the sauce on the side.

    I had wanted to try Craft Kitchen for awhile but unfortunately this visit didn't work out well for us. I thought that having pasta dishes with red sauce or vodka sauce would lend itself to vegetarian options for my veg husband but all of their sauces have meat. I opted for the Mac & cheese with pulled pork and the Mac & cheese was great the pulled pork which was a hefty up charge was all fat and inedible I was sorely disappointed, my husband had the Mac and cheese pizza and he liked it, we both had drinks which were good and our waiter was very nice, but not a return visit unfortunately.

    3 meat Pick Three Platter

    Came in for lunch, ordered 35 dollar 3 meat combo came with half chicken, pulled pork, sausage and side of mac, rice and beans, and cornbread. All i can say was every piece of meat was cold or luke warm and definitely made the day before, pulled pork and chicken where extremely dry and had almost no flavor, corn bread tasted store bought and cold out the fridge was very surprised as the reviews are good here. Will not be back.

    I loved the openness of this restaurant, very cute and clean. We had good service, delicious drinks, I ordered a steak with maple brussel sprouts and they were great. The steak was cooked how I liked and the vegetables had really good flavor. I'd love to come back next time I'm in the area.

    I've dined at Craft Kitchen twice now, and I have to say I'm really impressed with their menu and the quality of their food. We timed our second visit perfectly with the launch of their new fall menu items, and also discovered they had recently brought in a bunch of new barbecue items from their Bird Dog BBQ concept. Everything is farm-to-table fresh! The servers have been friendly and attentive both times, and the restaurant has a nice laid back vibe. I hope to come back soon to try even more menu items!

    Poutine
    Matthew D.

    This place is amazing, come for drinks and stag for food or come for food and stay for drinks! Both are amazing! The smoked old fashioned is a nice touch, smoked right in front of you! The poutine is one of the best poutines I have had in a long time, the brisket is so tender and moist, add that to the curds, gravy and hand cut fries! Service was on point! Looking forward to dining again soon!

    The best way I can describe Craft Kitchen is tastefully rustic. Every decor piece fits together like a puzzle, creating a cohesive experience. I loved the glassware because it had an embellished stem and held a lot of liquid. It was light to hold and well-made. My martini was mixed quickly in the cocktail shaker, so it was served strong and not very cold. The olives were extraordinarily crunchy, and this hardness took away a bit from their overall enjoyment. They did have a nice salty flavor. My BLT was served on a deliciously seasoned crispy roll. Unfortunately, since my fries were limp and soggy, they were inedible. Another highlight was the house-made pickles served paper thin with a delicious brine. The bartender was good-natured and a pleasure to interact with. He also provided fantastic service.

    What a terrible experience! I made a reservation for 7pm. Started off with an absolute nightmare trying to find a parking spot. Parked in bumf*ck Egypt way far away. Still arrived on time at 7 pm. Hostess told us that go to bar at 7:15 for a complimentary drink when our table still wasn't ready. Bar staff treated us as an imposition when ordering but we got our drinks. We were finally seated at 7:35 but not given any menus. We finally found our waiter and told him we needed menus. He took our drink order and someone else brought us menus. My drink arrived 30 minutes later after asking for it again. I complained to our server that I have never felt so unwelcome at any other restaurant I have been to.Meanwhile another table was seated and received their appetizer. We got our food an hour after we ordered it. Mind you we ordered two pizzas and a burger. We asked to speak to the manager and her response was that they were really busy.... The table that got their appetizer had already been served their meal and were leaving when we finally got our food. My pizza was good, but at that point who cares. This place was recommended by many but I'm not sure why. We were there for 2.5 hours which was ridiculous. I won't be back. & to add: if you are a busy restaurant build in a waiting area for people to sit/stay in until their table is ready. We were all stuck by the door & in the way of servers getting customers their drinks at the bar. Staff was already annoyed by us right off the bat but for no fault of our own.

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

It is way more spacious than their previous location and nicely decorated. We sat in a nice Modular Half Moon Restaurant Sofa in the back. Felt like I was looking down upon the rest of the guests having dinner. Nice table just felt a bit like we were on display however I still enjoyed as I love the style of these tables. Our waiter I think was new and definitely did not know wine. We asked for a bottle of the Merlot, which he pronounced back to us "Mer-LOT." I couldn't help but chuckle a bit when he left the table. Someone else came and opened the wine for us and when our main server came to check on us, he grazed the side of my glass and freaked, telling us the glasses are $500 each and if he breaks one, it comes out of his paycheck. Ummm what? This stuff we probably should not know! Again, I think he was new, probably not having much experience as a waiter. He definitely needs training on how to pronounce wine! Moving on to the cheese, they used to give you a cheese board with a few different cheeses. It's a bit different now. They give you whipped butter, a few pieces of cheese (last night was Cheddar), roasted red peppers, and whipped goat cheese with a touch of honey on top and some bread. Not sure if this changes/rotates at their new location. We chose not to do the raw bar or appetizer courses (fyi those are extra). For my salad, I chose the Signature Salad (forgot to take a picture of this course). This is where things went downhill for me. I asked for no apples. He said no problem. He did not tell us they ran out of the dried cranberries and caramelized nuts which to me make the whole salad. I used to love this salad at the old location. So, when telling us the specials he did say he "thinks" they had one salmon entree left, but had to check. Restaurants run out of things, and I get it, but take that salad off the menu if you're out of 2 ingredients and the customer asks for no apples. All that we got on our salads was lettuce, gorgonzola and fried potato skins. I feel like I had French fries on top of lettuce. It was awful. Also, I'm the only one that asked for no apples and my boyfriend got the same salad I got with only potato skins and lettuce and gorgonzola so clearly they were running out of things. We then saw other customers getting the same salad lacking main ingredients. For my entree, I got the Heavenly, which was supposed to have a lobster sauce. I couldn't put my finger on what the flavor of the sauce was. It was strange. It wasn't bad, it just didn't really go with the lobster. It had a brown tint to it. The manager came over after we ate and asked us how things were, and I told him about the salad and asked what the flavor in the sauce was. He told us a crab style sauce which made sense. Boyfriend had the filet. He said it wasn't Ruth's Chris good, but it was good. Mashed potatoes were very bland. Presentation was pretty bad. Dessert they get from a third party. I had the flourless chocolate cake which was the best part of the meal. Desserts are where they have improved with the new location. They used to give you petit fours style desserts, and now they give you full size desserts. It was delicious. I really want to like this place more because I like the concept of what they do. I guess on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays the chef creates whatever he'd like for guests for $25 a head. Mystery meals. The manager said that's where the name "Adventures in Eating" comes from. Again, we had come here previously, and I had a problem the last time with the Branzino where the waitress didn't tell me it came as the whole fish. Servers are friendly here, they just aren't top notch. Food is ok.

Now, I am in the dog house because they want to know when the next time that we are going. I had the chicken club and it was absolutely delicious. A huge piece of chicken with plenty of flavor. My sister had the short rib sandwich and was raving about it once we continued our drive saying she was so glad she had it even though she had short ribs herself for dinner the previous night. I don't know if that's an indictment on her cooking or what, but she loved it. The star however was the cod dinner that mom had. It was one of the flakiest and freshest pieces of fish she had ever had. We got a very late start to our trip, so by the time 2:00 came on the Saturday afternoon came, we practically had the whole place to ourselves. The only gripe that we had ( not that we necessarily would have changed anything ) was that we noticed after we ordered that the table next to us got a specials menu and we didn't. It was nice and quiet as our waitress let us have a quiet late lunch and if we were ever in the area ever again, we would make a b-line back to the restaurant.
