I did a phone survey of beer shops in the area and ended up at Harvest Wine & Spirits because they…read morehad the most of what I was looking for.

The guy added that you also get a 10% discount on single prices if you buy four, and there prices were fair to begin with IMO. Don't fooled by the cooler cases and be sure to step into the beer cave to see the full selection! Super nice, super helpful, good prices, great selection--not much to say about the decor! I think I will be back in West Hartford, and when I do, this will be my shop.

This Total Wine & More location was HUGE. I know most Total Wine locations are pretty big, but this…read more1 was seriously massive. There was so much to look through, & the place was packed and really well stocked. 1 thing I really liked was seeing all the friendly vendors throughout the store giving out free samples of different spirits. It made walking around & browsing a little more fun, especially w/ so many different brands to check out. The prices were ok, but I'd say they lean more toward the higher side. You can def find some good deals, though, especially if you catch one of their sales. The cashier wasn't the friendliest or patient, which was prob the only negative part of my visit. Other than that, I had no complaints. The store was huge, packed w/ products, well stocked,& had plenty to look at. Def a place where you can walk in for 1 thing & somehow spend way more time browsing than you planned.

The potato flautas and crème brûlée were definitely my favorites. I wanted to go in during brunch, called the restaurant to check if they serve potato flautas during brunch, looks like you can only get them during dinner. We were a group of 4, and our server, Soley, was incredibly kind and helpful. She suggested a few vegan options for us, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. Such a lovely experience all around. Can't wait to come back and try more! Thank you to all the amazing chefs who takes time to come up with these kinds of scrumptious recipes

The crab was delicious and tasted fresh. The fries were good. Huge portion. They were perfectly seasoned. The Kinilaw was so good. Very light and I loved the touch of spice. My stepdad got the burger which was massive and boy was it tasty. The Bella Bella wings were good too, and were paired with something similar to a papaya salad. Lastly we got the pumpkin olive oil cake. I was intrigued because it sounded fall festive. It was so good. Similar to carrot cake however I wasn't a big fan of the sauce with it. It was a tart almost apple-like sauce made from Roger's Orchards. Everything was served family styled. Every entree was very delicious and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous, they don't mess around with the serving sizes. Almost every dish had a bit of a kick (of spice) too. I almost wish the menu would signal when a dish had a bit of a bite because I can usually handle my spice, but these dishes definitely snuck up on me. I was a little confused by the art on the walls as they were French influenced, however the dishes were several blends of cultures including Thai, American and Filipino. Overall, this was really good. You can tell they make their food with love and everything is very intentional. This place was also very busy on a Friday night but not overly crowded, there were absolutely no waits for our food.

Of course, it's almost on the back corner and rows of wine and every hard liquor and beer imaginable. We grabbed our beloved Kahlúa only (with a tear welling up).

The store has a nice layout, with plenty of wine categorized by red, white and rose. There is a good amount of international wines to choose from. I didn't look too much at the wine, I was shopping for hard seltzer. They have plenty of beers from local breweries. Beers can be purchased as a typical package, or you can customize by getting single cans or bottles and creating your own pack.
