I had high expectations heading into Saltbrick Prime, and while we had a really enjoyable evening,…read morea few items kept it from being a full 5-star experience. The Hits: Extra Thick Cut Bacon: Absolute perfection to start the meal. Thick, savory, and packed with flavor. Surf & Turf Sushi Roll: A standout appetizer! Great combination of flavors and super fresh. Strawberry Sorbet: Served on top of our dessert, this was a surprisingly brilliant touch--bright and refreshing. The Room for Improvement: The Ribeye: The steaks overall were good quality, but the execution on my ribeye could've been better. The fat wasn't rendered down properly, which left quite a bit of chewy gristle that should have been melt-in-your-mouth tender. The Lava Cake: A bit of a letdown. It lacked moisture and tasted more like a mass-produced, pre-made dessert than something baked fresh in-house (though again, that strawberry sorbet topping saved it a bit). Overall, It's a decent steakhouse spot with some killer starters, but given the reputation and price point, I was expecting to be completely blown away. Worth a visit for the appetizers and atmosphere, but there's slight room for refinement on the entrees and desserts.

Went here for a date night and was so pleasantly surprised…read more One thing that is dying in the hospitality industry are workers who just want to chat with the customers (if the customer is willing). This place was great about connecting and making the meal more enjoyable. Our server was a young lady named Nicole. She was passionate about the food and knowledgeable and down to earth. The food was EXCELLENT but elevated even more by the service we got from the servers and manager. Our steak was cooked perfectly. My wife enjoyed the $1 happy hour oysters in the bar area. This place was just as enjoyable as a fine dining experience at a high end place like Flemings. In fact, this was better than Flemings location in West Hartford. We wanted a place that had sushi and steak and we found this place. Everything we had was over a 9/10 for us. The pimento Mac n cheese was so good as a side dish. The 30 day aged rib-eye was so good as a main course. We did give feedback about the crispy rice appetizer being too crispy and they just straight up comp'ed us for it. We weren't even trying to get it for free but they were so on top of everything. If you have a date night or special occasion, please consider this place. I will definitely return.

This place has been open for a year and we finally went for an event the other night. We sat in the…read morebasement, so maybe we didn't get a chance to experience it fully. It was cold and felt like a basement. There were wine and spirt bottles lined up on the window sill to give it that college frat house vibe. My wife had the salmon, and I had the filet. The salmon was hard and felt like it was under a warming lamp for a while. The bourbon honey dipping glaze helped to soften it a bit, but then you couldn't taste the salmon. My steak was overcooked and underseasoned. The sides were good and mashed potatoes had lumps! The chocolate mousse pie for dessert was straight from the Sysco box. I wish I could say the service was a bright spot, but I can't. The wait staff all looked like they'd prefer to be somewhere/anywhere else and were not at all attentive. And, what's up with the anatomically correct bronze bull wearing a hat in the front yard?

Cocktails were delish (I had the Bees Knees), they all looked great. Served quickly and refilled, if we chose. The steaks were tender, well seasoned and aged. Hardly needed a knife! Melted in our mouths. Mine came out on a sizzling plate with rosemary accents; mmmm! Dessert was a crème brûlée, which was so creamy and rich; a taste that harmonized beautifully with the plump blueberries that topped it. Such a lovely evening. I don't eat steak a lot, but when I do, I prefer quality, which is what you'll get here! Highly recommend!!!

Having heard good things about this restaurant we decided to try it for my birthday. We went early,…read moreso there were only a couple of other diners at the time so service was good. The interior decor of the restaurant is a bit bland- multiple tables arranged in a large room. The room could definitely use some color to brighten the mood. Ceiling tiles were stained and detracted from the atmosphere. But I did like the choice of music- Sinatra, Patsy Cline, etc.! Great choices! The food was, overall, fairly good. The wedge salad was different than usual, served with blue cheese and dressing but also with a balsamic addition. Unusual but good. The rigatoni bolognese was very tasty. The Canadian salmon was good- however the Parmesan risotto could have used more flavor (salt?). The Delmonico steak was served on a sizzling platter and was cooked properly (I ordered it rare and it was rare). However, the meat was a bit tough/chewy which detracted from the meal. Not the quality of meat I would expect from a higher end steakhouse. Overall the meal was okay, but not up to par with other steak houses I've been to.

It's a nice setting with very comfortable outside space and nicely appointed inside space. Our waiter was very nice and friendly. We ordered drinks which were brought over by someone who seemed to be more like a front of house manager than anything else. She was on top of things, it seemed. My wife's glass had lipstick on it and somehow she realized that and brought her a replacement before we could ask. That was very considerate. The beer we ordered had kicked so we ordered a backup. For a place that calls itself a tavern they had really limited beer options. We ordered apps. The fried green beans were great. The cucumber salad was disappointing. The wings were excellent. We ordered lunch and one of the options they were out of so switch again to plan B. I had a Reuben which was ok, Wife had a wrap (Caprese Chicken maybe?) that she said was excellent. Our friends had a burger - good and his wife had chowder and some sort of chicken sandwich that she really didn't like. It was around this time that the front of house person left and the waiter got totally in the weeds. He may have had as many as 14 tables and no help at all. He did his best but there should have been more people on or someone to come out of the kitchen and bus tables at least. I would be ok returning. Some things were very enjoyable and we know now what to expect and some things to avoid. My wife would have that wrap again and I would totally get the wings and maybe the green beans. On a nice day we might see if it is possible to relax outside. It's very charming there. One note about management. If that person that brought the drinks and was helping around the dining room was a front of house manager, that's the first one I've seen since Covid when all the restaurants got rid of their managers to save money. It really makes a difference in the experience. Hopefully our restaurants will sort that out. SPT should have had a manager on shift to replace the person who left. The poor waiter might have had a fighting chance if so. As it was, you could tell he was sinking under the load. Probably 4 tables uncleared, two obviously waiting for checks and others looking around. Totally not his fault. He knew his job and was hustling. He could only do so much. Hope he made enough money for it to be worthwhile!

I visited this restaurant since it was the closest steakhouse to our hotel on a recent work trip…read more We tried to order iced tea....and they said they have it..but they would have to brew some. Apparently iced tea is a no no to order in the fall or winter in small town Connecticut. I chose their 14oz prime ribeye for what seemed to be a good price of only $40. It comes with the mixed veggies (Broccoli. Carrots. Squash) and potato of the day (homemade mashed potatoes). The steak was a bit chewy and did not seem to be a typical prime cut of beef I am used to getting back in Texas. Maybe prime beef in Connecticut isn't as good quality, who knows. The homemade bread that comes out before the dinner is good but hard. It's also very garlicky. Service was a bit awkward. Our waitress came by halfway through and said she was checking to make sure we were well taken care of...but my tea was almost empty and she just walked off and didn't say she'd refill it. I eventually had to flag her down a few mins later to ask for a refill. At fancy restaurants, they just fill it without you asking. She also messed up my colleagues meal. He asked for no squash and the chef seemed to put extra squash on his plate. She should have remembered that he didn't want squash. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I just expected more from a fancy restaurant. You pay a little more for better food and better service, but we didn't get that here.

While the Ribeye was cooked perfectly and just as delicious - I can't the same about the "2.0 Buffalo wings". 2.0 means they are coated in a blue cheese infused buffalo sauce. The taste was too light and it wahard to pick up the Buffalo or blue cheese taste. I'll try another wing option next time. The salads were fresh, plentiful with delicious dressings. I felt the baked potato was lacking. I got it loaded but it wasn't much different than what I could make at home with a russet potato from stop and shop. I did like the bacon chunks but I would stop short of calling it loaded. In the end it was the steak I went there for and I was not disappointed. The steak and the crafted cocktails with a professional bartender made the evening a success and I will be back.
