What's behind the Green Door?…read more Well, I remember a song from my childhood called "Green Door" -it had a honky-tonk piano sound and I kind of remember it got some radio play in the early '60s. I also remember there was a porno movie named "Behind the Green Door". It was a big deal in 1972 and "starred" Marilyn Chambers -the Ivory Snow girl. Fast Forward to today. What's Behind the Green Door up in Collinsville, CT? A very nice restaurant known as the Green Door Restaurant. It's the house restaurant at Bridge Street Live - a music and entertainment venue on the Farmington River in the funky little town of Collinsville. We had dinner at the Green Door tonight and had a pretty favorable experience. We sat outside on the deck and enjoyed a pretty view of the River and enjoyed a singer and his acoustic guitar. So what kind of food might one find behind their Green Door? The menu had seven appetizers ranging from a $6 soup to an $18 Charcuterie Board, three salads ranging from $10 to $14 with a protein add-on between $8-$10 more, five sandwiches with a side for $13 or $14, six personal pizzas ($10-$15), and eight entrees ranging from $14 - $34. We shared a Hummus platter ($10) served with pita wedges, grape tomatoes, carrot and celery sticks, and broccoli florets. The hummus with Roasted Red Pepper was very good, the veggies were cold and crisp, and the pita bread was soft and warm. Not a bad value for ten bucks, but the actual amount of hummus wasn't very generous. I ordered one of the entrees - a Seared Sesame Ahi Tuna Bowl for $18. It was a big serving of six tuna slices with red quinoa & buckwheat, maybe two dozen crispy chickpeas, shaved carrots, sliced avocado, and arugula with a herb lemon dressing. The dish tasted great and was a pretty good value, considering the large serving. We also ordered a Reuben Sandwich ($14) of shaved corned beef, Thousand Island dressing, house made sauerkraut, and Fontina cheese, on Marbled Rye. The sandwich tasted great (especially the bread) but the weak link was the quantity of corned beef - not nearly enough. My Diet Coke $3 and that price speaks for itself -it was high. Our modest dinner ran around $47 (after tax) and I didn't really feel our overall value was there. Yes, the view was nice, the service was friendly, and the menu was varied. If you're attending a show at Bridge Street, it does make a lot of sense to eat here as a convenience. Otherwise, I'm not really convinced to go through that Green Door again.

I been going to this Festival for the last 12 years, which means I have gone to this Festival 6 times now. Yes, It is $10.00 to get in. And you do have to pay for your beer & food also once you get it. But, People this event helps keep this club open and pays for the entertainment that you get to dance to or simply just listen to as you enjoy your Beer & Food. So yes you end up spending around $32.00 dollars which pretty much the same as a night out to dinner with friends at a cheap restaurant. I like going to this Festival its a fun time and its nice to support this club it helps people to be able to hold on to their culture. So I'll be back in two years!

Overall, the event came out even better than we could have imagined, and we are so grateful to the entire team for helping make it such a special and successful day.

I had and enjoyed the salmon and the salad. There was a self serve table with coffee, tea, lemonade and orange juice. A different table had wine and mimosas. The whole layout was very easy to navigate. The restrooms were just around the corner and were super clean. Everyone had a wonderful time.

The food was amazing and everything we worked so hard to accomplish was realized. The guests all had a great time and our DJ also make the evening very special. All of this was made possible by our sponsor Linda who is a member and our travel agent. I can not say enough about Linda and how great she is as our travel agent and friend. My father in his mid 80's got up and danced several times. This tells you something about the atmosphere that evening.

Emilia was our point of contact for the event and did an outstanding job of making sure everything was perfect. The attention to detail and accommodating our every wish was executed flawlessly. All of this made my Lisa, the birthday girl literally glow from how happy she was with everything.
