Yelp is asking me to answer the question - What went well ?…read more Is this place a secret gem? I'm not sure but we are so happy we found this place. I feel the need to leave this review here now just in case I forget to leave a actual proper long review. This is our third time, a humble looking joint so we come here always just expecting it's going to be " meh". But we keep coming back, collecting calories around our waist because everything is so good here! Service - always awesome. Everyone here looks like they work cohesively, everyone is smiling working hard . Coffees always refilled. Food- fantastic, always fresh, on point. This time I got an omelette with tomatoes and this is the first time I had an omelet where the tomatoes don't get mushy. Their hash browns are also amazing! ... while we like the shredded we LOVE the fried- like mini French fries. While all of their proteins are awesome - their turkey bacon deserves a special shout out because it often misses the mark at most places.. but not here . And then there are the little things - clean bathrooms, condiments on the table are clean and not sticky or gross !! Anyway, come here.

Visited Parkside Cafe with a friend and ordered the cannoli crepes and honey mustard chicken wrap…read more Both were AMAZING! The cannoli crepes were the highlight. The filling was rich, creamy, and perfectly sweet, wrapped in a flawlessly cooked crepe. The honey mustard chicken wrap was just as impressive.. fresh, flavorful, and well-made. Highly recommend!!

They have so many fun…read moreoptions to try from massive milkshakes to glittery mimosas/ margaritas to instagram worthy food options , but also having options for a simple scrambled eggs and bacon ! This time I tried the new seasonal special apple crisp cheesecake French toast ! Yes that's a mouthful to say but it was sooo good if you have a huge sweet tooth like me it was amazing !!! A must try ! Service is always good we have always been able to get a seat and the staff always super friendly . Great service , They got us seated , ordered , served and out the door in about an 1hour . Overall 5/5 again great food , great service and great ambiance the whole place is always decorated and I loved the added lights over the ceiling !

So this unassuming looking diner hides a surprise. It's not what you think of as a typical diner…read more Cool metallic tiles, curved walls, cool art and chandeliers kick this up from diner decor to much cooler. The service was great our server couldn't have been nicer and came around just enough. We ordered our food with the thought to get one of their signature adult drinks or milkshakes - think fun, over the top drinks but..... we were too full from the delicious food. Going to go back again soooon to try a milkshake! Check them out. Will def be back!

I dropped in, and to my pleasant SURPRISE, a beautiful renovation was underway! The space is open,…read morewith high ceilings, an airy feel, and a modern aesthetic. It's FIRE!!! (as the kids say) It was crowded despite being early evening. The only available seats were at the bar area near the windows, which was fine because we were determined to experience the "new" place. We ordered the tuna tartare and lobstah rolls. The accompanying chips are homemade (slightly salty, but my taste buds are really close together). The host was attentive and gave us the royal treatment. We put this gem back on rotation and we are definitely returning!!!

I once attended a special Pasta Dinner at Fork and Fire in Farmington, but until recently I had…read morenever visited to order off their normal menu. Fork and Fire has an upscale Gastropub sort of vibe and offers an eclectic menu. My family and I visited on a Sunday around lunch time. Fork and Fire only offered their Brunch Menu at the time, which I didn't know. I was in more of a lunch mood, but they let me order the Black and Burger off the later menu, which was very nice. Not all cheeseburgers feature melty slices. The Black and Blue Burger featured Crumbled Blue Cheese, Pickled Red Onions, Smoked Bacon and Chipotle Aioli, on Toasted Brioche. The burger was huge and well cooked. So juicy it dripped. A flavor bomb. I also ordered the famous Kitchen Sink wings for the table, along with a side of Blue Cheese AND Ranch. The wings were super juicy. Top Tier Juicy. But the outer texture was still appropriately crisp. The sauce was sweet and savory, with a little bit of heat. Great wings. And the side sauces were terrific too. Service was very good. The atmosphere was terrific. Everyone enjoyed their orders. 4.5 Stars

The Sunny Side dish pictured usually comes with hollandaise sauce but I don't care for it so requested it not be added. My husband had a Meat Lover's omelette but started eating before I could snap a picture. He said it was very good. My daughter had the Californian subbing crispy tots for the sweet potatoes. One of her favorite dishes here. Love this place and will definitely return!

We were a group of 5 girlfriend meeting for a late breakfast (arrived around 10 past 11): we were…read moretold it would be a 30 min wait... the place was packed with people waiting to be seated so it was no surprise that it took an hour for us to get our table. The booth and ambiance were nothing special, but we were given a plate full of apple slices that were sprinkled in cinnamon sugar (which was a nice touch), our waitress was fun and attentive and the food was very good. The menu offerings for breakfast were pretty basic and standard.. you won't find 6 kinds of pancakes or stuffed French toast here, but it's pretty clear that they have perfected their over-easy and other egg game. Hash browns can be the shredded, cubed or tater tot varieties and delicious. The gluten free bread the have was the best I've had (nice job!). Three of us had mimosas and they were delicious. Based on the number of diners waiting to get seated and the high quality of our meals, I'm willing to guess this restaurant is pretty consistent. I would definitely come to Ellie's again. Well done

I've previously been to Rebel Dog's locations in Farmington and East Hartford. This afternoon was…read moremy first time dining at their Plainville location. I actually had no idea this was also a tavern/bar. The Plainville location of Rebel Dog was very busy today, they had trivia going on. I first got their Salted Caramel Toffee Latte. This was as expected pretty sweet, but still solid. We got the garlic flatbread to share. This garlic bread was very pouffy and cheesy, but it lacked garlic. The arugula salad was very light and fresh, it had crispy almonds and chickpeas all over. I got the Winter Chili Grain Bowl. This was very satisfying on a winter day. The chili was tender and offered just a bit of heat. The corn on it was crunchy, there was a small scoop of a grainy salad and some fresh avocado. Overall we were all satisfied with our visit at Rebel Dog. I thought it was a bit odd that they close at 4:00 o'clock everyday.

Today was my first experience at this location and it may be my last. I have been to the…read moresouthington location and it has always been a pleasure, so I assumed that this location would meet the same standards. There was a blonde lady working constantly complaining about her job and other workers in the store. I understand that food service is not an easy job but it was disrupting the restaurant environment. I made me uncomfortable because I think she may have been drunk on the job. she was constantly talking about drinking mentioning to other people I believe were customers or friends. Regardless, I don't think my daughters will be coming inside with me anymore if the workers are going to be intoxicated.

The restaurant is very cozy and comfortable. They had a singer with live music in the lounge area. I highly recommend people start supporting these local businesses so we don't lose them.

One word, INCONSISTENT! I called to place an order, the Marry Me Pasta with shrimp. ($30) I asked…read moreif garlic bread comes with the meal and the girl stated"yes" I even confirmed that there would be no up charge and she stated "yes". I used to go weekly to this place and I know they had some hiccups at the beginning, hence my questions while ordering. I get there and they're trying to charge me for a full sized garlic bread. I reiterated what was stated to me over the phone and the manager or owner that was there refused to honor what their staff had stated over the phone. They said they had no problem keeping the bread.... Save yourselves the time and energy and DO NOT come here! Prices are never consistent and now their customer service is less than satisfactory.

They were all great and I look forward to trying their seasonal drinks since they always come up with interesting ones. Their cream cheeses are super fresh and yum. In food we've tried Plain Jane and Garden Goddess panini so far and we liked it. The staff is patient and friendly. And love the cozy vibe they have going. Be sure to wait during rush hours. Bruno's cafe has many fans ;)
