The bartenders were super friendly and made sure to keep up with the demands of our venue. The food and drinks were top-notch. We were served some finger food, and the meat balls were to die for. The drinks had interesting twists to classic drinks and left me wanting more. If you like mystery and enter a secret hidden bar for the elite just like in the movies, this location will make you feel like that with its setup.

Our bartender, Jon, gave us great suggestions and made excellent drinks. It wasn't too busy, they played good music, and we could imagine the space with some live music. I highly recommend it, and we will definitely return. Thanks, Jon!

Some of the Best Mexican Food I've Had!…read more No Mames was a fantastic experience! This fresh take on Mexican cuisine was some of the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. This isn't your typical Mexican restaurant where you're immediately greeted with a basket of chips and red salsa. Instead, you can order a salsa trio from the appetizer menu, which we did, along with the chicken flautas. Both were excellent! For our main entrées, we ordered the chicken tamale and street corn enchiladas. Let me tell you, those enchiladas may have been the best I've ever had--and I've eaten a LOT of enchiladas over the years! The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was inviting, and our server was excellent. Everything about our visit made for a great dining experience.

Great food, great drinks and great service!…read more I understand the vibe they're going for. Excellent t quality and thought placed into your meals. I love it. I'm happy to pay premium when food is excellent and I got just that. Our first time (I've now been 3x) I felt our server was really willing to help us pick out drinks and food we would like. They took the extra effort to guide us through/ even though we didn't ask them too. I appreciate that. I live in town and hope restaurants like this continue to do well.

I wanted a chocolate martini so I searched for a nearby place to try out & found Social Lounge…read more It's next to Max Fish in Sommerset square in Glastonbury. Plenty of parking. The place isn't too big. Bar stools & some hightops. There was a big screen tv with a football game on, and there was decent music (not too loud) playing. I had been to a speakeasy overseas recently, and though I wasn't expecting something that different, I did wish this place had a more interesting vibe. The interior was nice, just felt it needed something 'more'. We were there on a Saturday night - kind of early (a little after 8). Hardly anyone in the place, but I'm guessing it fills up later? I noticed outdoor tables for nicer weather which would be good. My chocolate martini was really good & reasonbly priced ($13). My husband had a beer (bottle) for $5. Server/bartender very nice, making sure our drinks were good. We didn't try any food (they have some small plates). Overall - there was nothing bad about Social Lounge. It was good, however, not great.

Honestly, I was really impressed with everything I had, I had the beef and blue cheese bread bites and the beet salad and both were honestly great! Service was fine, nothing outstanding, but I wouldn't expect anything crazy from a strip mall Gastropub. Ambience was exactly what you would expect no-frills but comfortable and casual. Honestly, I enjoyed my time here and if you're in the area and need a quick bite, definitely give it a shot.

The tacos were excellent, very flavorful and fresh, and very filling/ample meat portions. The double taco-shell helps hold it all together.

Every visit, the staff is perfectly welcoming and knowledgeable, and the food surprises my taste as a former picky eater. I would be excited to get tacos again, or try something new.

Came here after going to bingo Loco to finish my celebratory birthday…read more We walked in within an hour of closing, so we were given last call. We were seated at a booth, but quickly moved to the bar where the bartender made our concoctions, chatted with us, and talked about the old distillery that was before the parlor. I got the Smoke Break; mezcal, wild moon sumac, apricot, amaro del capo, lime and absinthe. It was very good, very smoky, but the perfect balance. And of course, the birthday is not complete without shots! We ended up taking the sour cherry vodka, which is one of my favorites We were unable to get food as the kitchen was closed, but we will have to try next time

My only complaint is that the restaurant is very noisy and it needs some curtains or fabric or sound dampening material. Other than that, this place is a hit!

Came here on Halloween evening after a wedding for our friends!…read more We had the back event room set up and started with an appetizer tray platter of shrimp cocktail, and Oysters with all the fixings. The servers were also passing cornbread with delectable chipotle butter and chicken skewers We then had a lovely 4 course meal! I started with Bella Bella Wings Crispy double fried wings, fried garlic, atchara, Pinakurat vinegar, calamansi. These were very good and the dipping sauce had a nice vinegar kick Crispy Brussels sprouts, whipped herb crème fraiche, pretzel crumb, mustard vinaigrette, kielbasa was the next plate served. I LOVE the crispness of the brussel when cooked to perfection, almost like crisps For dinner, I had the Bella Bella Half Chicken which was a fall cassoulet with Young Farms heirloom beans, root vegetables, duck bacon and chicken sausage. I was a fan of the chicken but wanted to try something new. I had to bring my dinner home at this point because I was so full and wanted dessert. For dessert we had a Tres Leches Tiramisu; Mascarpone, tres leches soaked lady fingers with cocoa powder. My wife got the Salted Caramel crème brûlée, and it was to die for! Both the deserts are very good. Overall, the Laurel does their job perfection. The servers make sure that everybody had everything they needed and kept coming around and checking on the guests. There is parking around back, so it's only a short walk to the front

Walking in it felt very spacious and open had a great upscale looking vibe going on. With an open patio covered in flowers so cute. The Staff was super tentative and on top of their game. Very accommodating and made things go very smoothly even in a room full of adults & kids! The food was delicious and all the appetizers came out fast and fresh. The calamari was super crispy and had a great sauce for dipping! My steak came out perfectly medium rare just how I like it and portions were huge! Only thing i would say is the charcuterie board was alright because the pickled veggies and olives were so salty in my opinion. But overall everything else was great! Espresso martini's were super strong and the assorted desserts hands down my fav part! i think my favorite would be the lemon dessert it was so light, I couldn't believe it was cheesecake. I would deff come back again!!!!

We had the cheesy garlic bread and risotto balls, which were a good start to the night. Our entrees- the chicken parm and pasta alla vodka- were good as well, the alla vodka sauce was especially flavorful! We were also given warmed biscotti at the end of our dessert! The service at this place is also amazing, 10/10! Our server was very attentive and friendly, she was the best. The atmosphere was casual and light, not too loud, not too quiet. This was our first time in Rocky Hill and we will definitely be back!

Came here specifically for happy hour... The food was okay. I would only order 1 dish again. We…read moreordered four apps from the happy hour menu... 1. Fried mozz... the flavor of the cheese was good but the pieces were over fried so it was kinda hard and tasted somewhat burnt 2. Risotto balls... those were great, just needed a lil more sauce. I would definitely order this again. 3. Spicy Calamari... There was an unpleasant odor as soon as they came out. Tasted the actual Calamari and it was delicious but the dish was ruined with all the crap that was added. The yucky slaw and the sauce/ drizzle were unnecessary and made the dish inedible. Wish they left it off or put it in the side so we could have enjoyed the Calamari itself. 4. Sweet Potato Ravioli... the actual ravioli was good. Loved the filling. But this dish was ruined by a flavorless sauce. It tasted like cream mixed with butter. That sauce should be left off. Im sure the server already knew we didnt really enjoy it bcuz he didnt even question why food was left and we didnt want to take any of it to go... Really planned to order more from the happy hour menu but after those last 2 disappointing apps, I changed my mind...

I was greeted but then neither took my order. Another customer walked up, grabbed a menu off of the counter and proceeded to place his order. I wasn't happy at that point! Upon returning home with my order of 2 corned beef sandwiches with provolone and mustard on Portuguese rolls, I proceeded to unpack my bag to find the sandwiches with very little corned beef. My guess is less than a half pound of meat. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed that I purchased these today. When you purchase 2 sandwiches and 2 pickles and the tab is $35 I expect to have a decent amount of meat on my sandwiches. That wasn't the case here.
