We were given 1 hr 30 mins but were told our time was up before the 30 mins. Turns out it was booked incorrectly by an employee on the phone, they allowed us our 30 mins. Only thing to keep in mind is to make sure you pick a piece you can finish in the time frame given for your party . No refreshments provided in house, no fridge space for cake. Was told their fridge is too small( but they still held it for me). Just be prepared with all your party necessities and not slack like this pea did. Other than that they just give you instructions and let you enjoy yourself. Had a great time.

You can have fries, sushi, mini chicken wings, ceviche, fried Oreos, and whatever else you are in the mood for. The sky is the limit here. Some things can be costly some are steals. It is also a great place to watch sports when there is a big game on because there is that shared energy from everyone in the space. I also appreciate that there are many gluten-free options, clean restrooms, and fun drinks. Overall, Parkville Market is one of those easy, reliable places where everyone can find something they want.

On my recent trip to Hartford, I visited this place twice. The first time was with a few friends…read moreand the second time was on my own. There was a lovely, colorful outdoor area with seating, pretty murals, and lights strung up above. The interior was spacious, well organized, with a festive atmosphere, full of world flags for the World Cup. There were 2 floors and the lower level boasted local restaurants of all different types of cuisines, drink, and dessert spots. The upstairs area had multiple private dining rooms for large groups, which is first come, first serve. I first went around the whole market to finally choose Colombian, however there was no one at the register, so I went next door to the Brazilian kiosk. I ordered the Surf and Turf, which consisted of steak, grilled shrimp, pineapple salsa, and sweet plantains. After I ordered my meal, I noticed that the Colombian place was open. The Brazilian food was delicious though! Both the Steak and Shrimp had perfect grill marks. Steak was cooked well, but could have been more tender. Shrimp was succulent and well seasoned. The fried Sweet Plantains were so tasty! They were wonderfully soft and irresistibly caramelized. For my drink, I got Horchata, which was a lovely balance of rice milk and cinnamon, with just the right amount of sweetness. A couple days later, I stopped by again after my Living History tour at Mark Twain House and Museum. I finally was able to try the Bandeja Paisa from the Colombian spot. It was pretty good, but didn't fully meet my expectations. The meal included Fried Pork, Chorizo, Steak, Corn Cake, Fried Egg, Maduros, Rice and Beans, as well as Avocado. Since I prefer savory plantains, I requested either Plantain Chips or Tostones. The person at the counter indicated that would be fine, but still got Maduros. My favorite parts of the dish were Fried Pork, Chorizo, and Corn Cake. The Fried Pork was satisfyingly crispy, including the skin. Chorizo was juicy and boldly flavorful. Corn Cake was made expertly and had the perfect consistency. I also got Ube and Taro Bubble Tea, which was delightful! It tasted coconutty and was a nice blend of the delicate flavors. The Boba was tiny sized, and had a wonderful chewiness to it. Service was solid. Everyone seemed to be friendly and accommodating. Prices were reasonable. The venue only takes credit card, but I think there's a way to exchange cash. There were many other menu offerings that looked appetizing from Mediterranean, Thai, Peruvian, Hawaiian, BBQ, and more.

My review isn't a "business attack." It's my experience as a paying customer. Calling dissatisfied customers "children" instead of addressing the concerns says more about your professionalism than my review ever could. You claim these reviews are fake, yet there are multiple people describing similar experiences. At some point, when the same complaints keep appearing, it's worth asking why instead of dismissing everyone as liars. A no-refund policy does not excuse poor customer service or repeated rescheduling. Customers pay for a service with the expectation that it will be delivered professionally and within a reasonable timeframe. Instead of insulting your customers and threatening to block them, take accountability, communicate honestly, and focus on resolving legitimate concerns. Professional businesses don't respond to criticism by name-calling--they address the issue. Referring to paying customers as "children" because they shared their experience is unprofessional and only reinforces the concerns people have about how you treat clients. A business owner should be able to respond respectfully to criticism without resorting to personal insults. Your response speaks louder than my review ever could. I have documentation of my experience, and your public response does not accurately reflect what happened. Your statements about offering convenient reschedules and resolving concerns are inconsistent with how my situation was handled.

I was greeted with genuine smiles as soon as I walked in , which is so rare these days. I ordered a Large Oxtail, a Small Curry Chicken, a 6 piece plantain, and a bottled drink. The total came to $52. The food itself had great flavor. The rice was perfectly cooked, the cabbage was good, and the oxtail came with seven pieces. I do want to add that some of the pieces were the size of a grape. The chicken was a bit salty and tough in some spots, but it definitely did not lack flavor. My only real issue was the price point matching the portion size. Oxtail is expensive everywhere, but for $52, I just did not feel like it was enough food for the money. Overall, I definitely enjoyed the flavors and the amazing hospitality for my first visit. It is a solid spot, I just wish the portions were slightly more generous for the price.

My curry chicken, cabbage, and rice and beans dinner was completely flavorless. No seasoning, no richness, no island warmth, just bland. I am all for supporting small businesses, especially Caribbean spots, but the quality and taste have to match the price. This felt like a miss. I hope they can tighten up the seasoning and consistency because the potential is there, it just did not show up on my plate. The restaurant was clean with great music playing.

This is a truly local, small, family run business and the owners/shopkeepers have quite the tales to tell... The goods and crafts sold at the Arts Center are collected by the owners who have traveled to all these destinations around the world making connections with the artisans . The items here are more unique and vibrant than I see at a lot of boutique craft/jewelry shops and there is usually an interesting story the shopkeepers can tell about where the items come from/who made them. Just perusing the store feels like a trip around the world (or at least Epcot ) and is genuinely fun. Most locals know to come here for their Holiday gifts though I live in Boston and make a point to come every year! The store is typically open only seasonally as owners are traveling much of the rest of the year- so make it happen this Christmas season. Some good restaurants in nearby Willimantic, UConn on the other side, and the subtle beauty of the Quiet Corner of CT makes a stop here a lovely day trip. Check it out!
