Enxhi B.

Came here for dinner with family while shopping nearby. It wasn't a particularly busy night but the service was still slow which was unfortunate. Only reason for the 4 stars is because most of our meals were good. The pita dips were nice as was the fried calamari. The seafood linguine, paella, branzino and risotto were pretty tasty. The open gyro platter was pretty mediocre. Nothing special. Also felt the items were a bit overpriced. Would potentially return but not high on my list due to slow service especially

This is my third review of this restaurant. We've always liked this place but had not been able to go in over a year, due to personal reasons. We went back last week. We still love it. We met the owner,Dino, who was extremely hospitable and welcoming. Our server was very attentive. By some people's standards, their service might be considered slow. For us, it was perfect as we do not like to feel rushed when we go out to eat. The food was delicious.The ambiance was pleasant. The cocktails were very creative. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Service was perfect! Ambiance perfect! Food was great minus one issue, the shrimp saganaki and the shrimp in the risotto was definitely frozen and not fresh. You could taste the freezer burn. I'm not a fan of using jumbo shrimp as they are more chewy to begin with, despite this texture they just tasted bad of freezer. Everything else we had was phenomenal and we even ordered a pizza to go. The zucchini fritters were top notch! The grilled manouri cheese great! The cinnamon soda amazing! The seafood risotto minus the shrimp awesome, I'd also do without the sausage (very dry and grainy). Mussels, clams and steak pieces were perfect as was the rice. The dessert i cannot pronounce and the espresso fredo was out of this world. The pizza was the best Greek pizza I've had in a long time and would definitely get again. They paid attention to exactly what we asked for as we enjoy extra cheese and lightly baked which is often like a cheese slide avalanche. With a 20 min ride back home the cheese settled and became the perfect late night noshing meal!

Another five star visit to one of our favorite restaurants, Greca. Today's visit was extra special because we attended one of chef/founder Dino's cooking demonstrations. Not only did we get to sample and learn how to make a variety of Greek dishes, but we got to learn the history and origins of Greek food. Dino's passion for food and family drove the demonstration. It was evident how personal each of his dishes are to him. We also were impressed by his chef Dell and how effortless he made the food preparation appear. We continue to be impressed by all Greca has to offer! The cooking demonstration is well worth the visit, very affordable and about 3 hours in length.

Gyro in Pita
Andrew I.

I have not had much Greek food, this place is definitely at the top. We decided to get takeout and wanted something different than the Italian, Chinese or sushi we are used to. Greca is located conveniently on route seven in the big Y shopping plaza. Plenty of parking. The staff is very nice. We didn't eat inside, but the dining room looks very nice and comfortable. We both got a Gyro. My wife got everything on it, I got mine without tomatoes. I also went light on the Tatsuki sauce. The meat was full of flavor and shredded nice and thin. The pita was very fresh and held everything together. The french fries actually surprised me. Very crispy and delicious. Just wish they had been a little hotter. I would love to return for the full experience. Five stars!

Falafel
Jen H.

Wow. So not what I was expecting. This restaurant received Connecticut Magazine's best restaurant awards and nods, and got other positive reviews, so a lot better was anticipated. The meal was a train wreck from beginning to end. First, waited several minutes (and I do mean several) until someone came to the host station. While being seated, I noticed that almost every table where others were not seated was dirty and had not been cleared. The waitress was very kind and apologetic, saying they were severely understaffed. This made me wonder why the host or anyone else was not helping to clean off tables. Now for the food. A long wait for just a drink and appetizer. My glass was dirty. The falafel appetizer, while crisp on the outside, was uncooked on the inside. (I don't like my falafel bone dry, but I also don't expect its inner texture to be that of mush either.) Meanwhile, some regular comes in for only a cappuccino and gets it served right away and is out as quickly as he came. A different server to mine came out to greet and serve him. This server was not attending any other tables. (Again, why was this person not helping to clear off the dirty tables?) The salmon was horribly overcooked. Like burnt in a corner and dry kind of overcooked. $32.00 for a plate of overcooked salmon? Just no to this place. Just no. There was nothing redeeming. I don't care how understaffed. Just no.

In no particular order, the service is incredibly slow from the time you order until you get your food and then the check. The food is nothing more than bar fare, and not that good -- always greasy, regardless what you order. They could make burnt toast greasy! Nothing I've ever ordered stands out as worth mentioning. I will point out that their Black n' Tans are always warm. Supposed to be cool or chilled -- yet to actually 'enjoy' one! My biggest complaint is that there are A LOT of drunks, derelicts and seedy people in there no matter when you go! They're loud, intoxicated, incessantly swearing (as does most of the bar staff), and just rude to listen to and be around. That IS what this place is! A seedy dump of a bar that has a menu and serves food. Trust me, unless that's your kind of place, you CAN do better!

The clientele is nothing but the cream of the working class crop. And the waitstaff... My friend and I went to S J's for a few drinks, some bar food and to watch the game on their 21" cathode tubes. Our buxom 58 year old barkeep served us up some Buffalo wings, potato skins and a round of brew. Half way into the visit, she returned to ask how the wings were, since she'd never tried them. Before we could respond she was dipping into the discarded bones and gnawing on the chicken knuckles from a wing I had just tossed in. I was waiting for Ashton Kutcher to pop out from behind the Big Buck Hunter arcade game and tell us we were being punked. Totally epic!

Wife had the Sea Bass which she liked, but the risotto it sat on was bland. The Burgers are massive and my son rated it "very good" but had better. See the slab of bacon on top in pic. Yes the Out of This World Mac and Cheese was delicious even if not my style... They still carry a fine wine and craft beer selection including many locals. The service was good yet they sent us away because no reservation, said over an hour wait. Left phone anyway and they called 10 min later. Water with hummus dip came quickly, yet waitress was slammed. She was very pleasant and delays were acceptable being they were packed at 7PM on weekend. Ambiance had not changed from the traditional pub style with a large happy bar. Very clean with good energy all around. Will add this back onto our regular list. Keep up the good work!

Pleasant yet didn't pay enough attention. Help Served apps without plates and server took way too long to notice and fix. She was very nice, maybe a bit overloaded. We sat outside this time because the music inside was a bit too loud for us to chat comfortably. Inside is relaxed seating mostly overlooking a nice bar, fine for any occasion, not at all formal, so any attire would be fine. Very clean, including the well appointed/decorated genderless bathrooms. All of us left very satisfied and prices were fair, as expected. We found the experience very satisfying and portions were just fine. Heard the desserts are great, will try next time! We will return!

I had the Ol' Smokey Burger, and he also tried the Cowboy Butter Burger. The brisket on the Ol' Smokey was out of this world--so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The portions are generous too--I could only finish half and happily took the rest home for dinner! The place itself is adorable, with such a welcoming vibe and great staff!.

You could see some nice smoke rings on the intact pieces of meat. Cons: - Service. The staff member we encountered when we entered and asked about our reservation (a manager of the restaurant or perhaps just of the cocktail program, we learned) was incredibly rude and unfriendly. We had barely begun to eat our food when she came by our table and asked us if we would like to-go bags. We were a bit shocked and asked her if she needed the table for some reason. (The restaurant was less than half full.) She said no, but the messaging to us that she did not want us at the restaurant was quite clear. With a lot of effort I did draw out some of the superficial signs of friendliness from the bartender working under the manager, who had initially echoed the manager's coldness. But it ought not be on the customer to extract a non-miserable customer experience, especially on a celebratory occasion. The person who brought out our food was competent, pleasant, and helpful. Middling: - The Lumberjack cocktail was well designed and well made. If only those behind this cocktail program were not so angry at having to interact with customers! - Mashed potatoes had the texture of being scratch made, but also had a hint of margarine. Margarine is a no go in our book. - Corn bread was very sweet and moist, Northern style. It may just be a matter of personal preference, but I am partial to Southern style corn bread, a bit more crumbly, not sweet and not cake-like, where the flavor of corn is more prominent. TLDR: Pleasant space, some excellent food and cocktails. (The non bbq items we tried were so-so, but where the smoker was involved, it didn't seem like you could go wrong.) Hospitality was a fail. We have a few good options for bbq in the area. We are in no hurry to return to Cowboy Butter.

I was tempted to write a bad review just so this restaurant doesn't become too crowded, but this restaurant deserves all the praise. The interior was small and a little loud, but they're moving a few doors down soon to a bigger restaurant which am I very excited to see! Even though it was almost completely full, they made accommodations to get us a seat as walk-ins. Our waitress was fantastic and attentive despite serving the entire dining room. She made some excellent recommendations of dishes to try and was very enthusiastic. For food, we tried the chefs bread which came with delish dips (my favorite being the delicious yogurt and eggplant). They even had gluten free bread that was fresh baked. It is without a doubt the best gluten free bread I've had at a restaurant. We also tried the salmon tagliatelle which was creamy, fresh, and delicious and the short rib gnocchi which was homey and comforting. Only complaint, maybe a little too much parsley. Even though we were stuffed, we had to try dessert since everything else was so fantastic. We tried the iced pistachio crème brûlée and the Caramel cheesecake. The cheesecake wasn't your traditional New York slice you'd expect, but it was light and doused in delicious caramel. The iced pistachio crème brûlée was out of this world, I didn't think I'd finish it but ended up basically licking the plate. Everything was amazing. Take the drive off of Blue Back Square and try this place out next time you visit West Hartford, you won't regret it!

There is ample parking in the lot. Service was friendly and knowledgeable, and food overall was great-- especially the bread dishes. Both the sabich flatbread and the jerusalem bagel tastes very freshly baked, with a nice crust and chew. Really balanced, natural flavors in the toppings of the flatbread and the dips for the chef's bread. The cook on the branzino was also great-- extremely tender and well seasoned. I got the oxtail raviolis and while the pasta was a nice al dente and the meat filling was flavorful, it was a little cold on the inside of the raviolis (maybe due to their size). My friend said the cheese raviolis in beet sauce was also nice, and the portions for the entrees were fair. I will say the malabi was small for $10, a little smaller than a yoplait cup-- not especially unique in flavor or texture, and I wouldn't order it again especially for the price. Overall good food, and would definitely come back for their fish dishes and flatbreads-- hopefully in their new space.
