Oh well I get it but the menu was limited. If I knew I would have picked somewhere else. We ordered stuffed mushrooms that were OK at best had a sausage stuffing that didn't pair with mushrooms. I ordered escargots that looked like they were cut in half on top of a slice of bread in some kind of whipped up sauce NOT good at all. I also ordered the baked stuffed shrimp which were a nightmare. The 3 shrimp were 16-20 shrimp which are cocktail shrimp that were either old, left out for a long period of time or freezer burnt. the meat was mush. The stuffing was just as bad mushy without flavor. Manager came by to check on us I told her the shrimp was mush and not good. She immediately defended saying they go thru a lot of shrimp and impossible to be bad. With that like a fool I went no further. Meanwhile the next day I spent in the bathroom ALL DAY LONG! San Souci's days I feel are over it used to be a hidden gem now it's just a restaurant that serves mediocre food and stuffed cocktail shrimp.

We decided to sit inside for a relaxed dinner with the piano background music. Our appetizer were really good , everything served on time and our waiter Kj was awesome, so patient and friendly. The main course was hot and served on time, the only thing I didn't like was the tomahawk was already cut and the hot plate was cooking it which it was served blue losing the experience and wondering if we actually got the entire thing . We had to send it back to be cooked to medium. The rest of our food was delicious, my daughter loved the Mac and cheese so much that we ordered extra to bring home. We were able to go to the patio where a band was playing and they sang the happy birthday to her, made her feel special. At the end of our nights she got a special treat from the Kj and again sang happy birthday. Thank you for this marvelous time. We will definitely come back.

The Brussels sprout salad was top-notch--packed with flavor and one of my favorite dishes of the night. The pasta was also excellent, with a perfectly balanced creamy sauce that wasn't too heavy. I especially liked how they presented all the dessert options, making it fun to choose. We ended up ordering the pistachio cake, but unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite. It tasted much saltier than expected rather than sweet. I'm not sure if it was due to the cream cheese or the pistachios themselves, but the flavor felt a bit off for a dessert. Overall, it was a great dining experience.

Recently the black beans had more pork in them than beans which made it hard to get only beans for my really picky 6 year old (who I can at least talk into eating rice and beans and salad for dinner there). They make a stewed chicken that is to die for. Their grilled meats are great - not too salty. Overall we just really enjoy the ambiance and people who work there.

I am all in on Lima 32 Peruvian restaurant. Back in January, I noticed the Lima 32 sign in the old…read moreTacos mi Nachos space in Meriden. Something about the sign aesthetic made me think it would be a good place. I Yelp-Searched it, and Lima 32 damn near had a perfect rating based on less than 50 reviews. I'm a Food Blogger. So I try to explore new places and avoid repeating spots I know. I've eaten at Lima 32 three times since January. Lima 32 is a small casual Peruvian spot located in a very small plaza in Meriden. Parking is tough, but they've done a nice job with the aesthetics inside. Lima 32 is also available on DoorDash within a certain area. I've now had the Lomo Saltado, the Arroz Con Marisco and the Chaufa de Pollo. Best Lomo Saltado I've ever had, and I've had a really expensive one at a famous CT spot. It's basically a beef and veggie stir fry. You can see the chef making it with fire in the pan if you have the right seat. The soy and oyster sauce based glaze is good salty. So flavorful and everything is perfectly cooked. Best Arroz Con Marisco I've ever had. It's a saucy Peruvian paella. The sauce (Aji Amarillo) has a well rounded creamy pepper flavor. The seafood, like crab, mussels and shrimp really stand out. I suspect the seafood varies depending on what's available. The Chaufa de Pollo, a Chinese fried rice style dish, was very good too. Huge pieces of chicken. Eat it with the delicious Aji Verde sauce. Is Lima 32 hidden? I don't know. But it sure the hell is a gem. It's must visit. 5 Stars

Nataz in Southington has impressed me once again!…read more We hosted a company dinner here on a weekday evening, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. Management was wonderful to work with, especially when it came to rearranging the space to accommodate our group's specific needs. A special thank you to Chuck for making everything run so smoothly. We had two dedicated servers, Heather and Alex, along with a food runner, and they provided outstanding service throughout the evening. They ensured everyone had what they needed and that meals were delivered promptly. Heather has served our group before, and she continues to be exceptional. She is friendly, attentive, and always goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. Every dish I tried was phenomenal. The appetizers were plentiful, and the salads, entrées, and desserts were beautifully presented and full of flavor. If you're looking for a great local restaurant with excellent service, a welcoming atmosphere, and delicious food, I highly recommend Nataz. Whether you're planning a large event or simply dining out with family and friends, you're sure to have a wonderful experience.

Last night was our third time dining with Nataz and first time in the new location. They did a…read morenice job with the new space. It is way more spacious than their previous location and nicely decorated. We sat in a nice Modular Half Moon Restaurant Sofa in the back. Felt like I was looking down upon the rest of the guests having dinner. Nice table just felt a bit like we were on display however I still enjoyed as I love the style of these tables. Our waiter I think was new and definitely did not know wine. We asked for a bottle of the Merlot, which he pronounced back to us "Mer-LOT." I couldn't help but chuckle a bit when he left the table. Someone else came and opened the wine for us and when our main server came to check on us, he grazed the side of my glass and freaked, telling us the glasses are $500 each and if he breaks one, it comes out of his paycheck. Ummm what? This stuff we probably should not know! Again, I think he was new, probably not having much experience as a waiter. He definitely needs training on how to pronounce wine! Moving on to the cheese, they used to give you a cheese board with a few different cheeses. It's a bit different now. They give you whipped butter, a few pieces of cheese (last night was Cheddar), roasted red peppers, and whipped goat cheese with a touch of honey on top and some bread. Not sure if this changes/rotates at their new location. We chose not to do the raw bar or appetizer courses (fyi those are extra). For my salad, I chose the Signature Salad (forgot to take a picture of this course). This is where things went downhill for me. I asked for no apples. He said no problem. He did not tell us they ran out of the dried cranberries and caramelized nuts which to me make the whole salad. I used to love this salad at the old location. So, when telling us the specials he did say he "thinks" they had one salmon entree left, but had to check. Restaurants run out of things, and I get it, but take that salad off the menu if you're out of 2 ingredients and the customer asks for no apples. All that we got on our salads was lettuce, gorgonzola and fried potato skins. I feel like I had French fries on top of lettuce. It was awful. Also, I'm the only one that asked for no apples and my boyfriend got the same salad I got with only potato skins and lettuce and gorgonzola so clearly they were running out of things. We then saw other customers getting the same salad lacking main ingredients. For my entree, I got the Heavenly, which was supposed to have a lobster sauce. I couldn't put my finger on what the flavor of the sauce was. It was strange. It wasn't bad, it just didn't really go with the lobster. It had a brown tint to it. The manager came over after we ate and asked us how things were, and I told him about the salad and asked what the flavor in the sauce was. He told us a crab style sauce which made sense. Boyfriend had the filet. He said it wasn't Ruth's Chris good, but it was good. Mashed potatoes were very bland. Presentation was pretty bad. Dessert they get from a third party. I had the flourless chocolate cake which was the best part of the meal. Desserts are where they have improved with the new location. They used to give you petit fours style desserts, and now they give you full size desserts. It was delicious. I really want to like this place more because I like the concept of what they do. I guess on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays the chef creates whatever he'd like for guests for $25 a head. Mystery meals. The manager said that's where the name "Adventures in Eating" comes from. Again, we had come here previously, and I had a problem the last time with the Branzino where the waitress didn't tell me it came as the whole fish. Servers are friendly here, they just aren't top notch. Food is ok.

Anthony Jack's ... it's like home, on steroids! It feels like family in here. And that's an awesome vibe. This place isn't for blue hairs only. Being I was here today for lunch, it was a younger crowd, along with children of the younger crowd. This was really nice to see Meeting great friends from Southington here for lunch, even though there are other choices, Anthony Jack's is a solid local favorite. Not only for me, but for the many. Today I was in the mood for a burger, and I ordered the $13 burger which arrived cooked medium, along with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. This was all served on a wonderful fluffy soft fresh roll. Chef chose a great roll to serve this burger on. The hamburger patty was not the frozen type cheap stuff; this was fresh ground beef, and hand formed. A quarter pound it seemed, and grilled with a nice charcoal flavor to it. It was very juicy and hit the spot. Also included with crispy well seasoned french fries and a little salad with house dressing. For $13 this was an excellent value. Our server, Brianna, was very very cheerful knowledgeable of the menu, and of course, very attentive to our needs. To say our service was perfect would be an understatement. I wish other food establishments had servers like Brianna. She's really that good. Restrooms, of course were clean, as usual. Parking was a breeze out front, but there are also many parking spaces at the rear of the restaurant and utilize the restaurant's back entrance. It was nice to come back home. And it was just as nice to return to Anthony Jack's. Anthony Jack's .. until I see you again, you left me with a smile and full.

We shared the buffalo chicken tenders for the appetizer and everyone loved it. The drinks, mocktails and entrees were missing something I'm afraid. No seasonings, I rarely add salt at the restaurant , I had to do it here. Not sure how the kitchen is setup but at the window, the 2 people there, were looking in the dining room more than the kitchen so I didn't get the setup. The only good dish was the pasta and the parmigian potatoes.
