Mainly because our side of the family has a lot of food allergies especially my wife and kids. My sister reassured me that the vendor they booked takes these things seriously and curates a menu that offers many options especially with people with diet restrictions. The food was amazing. No complaints. My wife was more than happy and she even went up for seconds. They even offered special kids meals for my son and daughter. My kids ate all their food to the point where they ended up falling asleep right in time for the dancing to start. Allowing my wife and I a moment to step on to the dance floor for a nice couples dance. The staff was also incredibly friendly and attentive. They even had this guy walking around in a hot dog costume handing out hotdogs at the end of the night. It was awesome and hilarious. All in all, a huge thank you to Brasato for making the night just that much more special and smooth. 10 out of 10 service!

We'll stick with just drinks going forward.

One thing I love about J Rego's is the quality of their menu; meals are always unique and truly make J Rego's stand FAR apart from other food spots in this part of CT. Yes, they offer the very best of your favorite restaurant classics, but they also add high-end, high-quality options that you cannot find anywhere else in the area. They do weekly specials (check their Instagram or call!) that always blow my mind. I literally stalk their social media each week waiting for their new options! Having J Rego's so close to home is a hazard for my self control!! And the Espresso Martinis?! Don't get me started! Delicious, high-class, and absolutely addicting. One VERY notable details about J Rego's: -- They have a FANTASTIC outdoor dining area. We enjoy it frequently in the summer, and they also set up a tent & space heaters for the colder months. Check their IG for live music on the weekends! Today, I sent my parents to J Rego's for a lunch date. They were BLOWN AWAY! It was definitely a home run recommendation. J Rego's -- thank you for being here and doing what you do! You make our community a better place & we love you for it.

I'm here for the fourth time! The restaurant is located on the East Hartford golf course and shares…read morethe building with the pro shop (right side). Amanda, the bartender, is on duty tonight Kimbo, the GM and former GM at Poncho Loco from 7 years ago had the night off. She immediately served a nice glass of ice water. The music is nice too. They have an open kitchen. There's quite a few tables too and a patio. For my first drink, I'm having a Peg-Arita made either Montezuma tequila, Triple Sec, fresh lime, fresh lemon and agave simple syrup. This is quite good! It's served in a 16oz glass so it can get a bit diluted. Still, it's nicely garnished and relatively well balanced albeit a touch sour. For my starter, I'm having the Caesar Side Salad made with romaine lettuce, topped with focaccia croutons, Pecorino Romano cheese and Caesar dressing. This is real good! It's nicely tossed and tastes great!I love the croutons! Good portion too! Today, it's but 1 burger get over free! Out comes the fried spaghetti! They taste like pretzels! They add a bit of salt too. How original! For my next food item, I'm trying the House Made Pork Meatball. This is a "jumbo" meatball with marinara sauce. Nice presentation! I'm adding Spicy Dadda hot sauce. This is real hot. Beware! For my next item, I'm having the Twisted Chicago Dog made with cherry relish, pickles, yellow mustard, onions and roasted peppers topped with celery salt. This is great! I love these chips! These's a lot of them! For my second drink, I'm having the Be Nice Throw It On Ice which is Amsterdam Vodka and a mixer. I'll have orange juice (aha a "Screwdriver"). This is good! Well done! I haven't had I've of these in years! I like the use of a mason jar. For my next item, I'm having the Wings. For my sauce I'm having the Sweet and Smokey (dry rub). These were good! What a unique taste! For my next drink, I'm having the Negroni which is a bittersweet cocktail with a bold combination of Bombay gin, Campari and sweet vermouth garnished with an orange twist. I like the use of the large ice cube! They have no sweet vermouth so we are using Cynar as a substitute. Cynar (pronounced chee-nahr) is a dark brown, bittersweet Italian amaro (herbal liqueur) flavored with 13 herbs and plants. Its prominent and unique ingredient is the artichoke (Cynara scolymus). This isn't bad! I'll take it! For my entree, I'm having the Tuna Salad (which is house made) with lettuce and tomato (no cheese) on a tossed roll. Light on the mayo. I'm adding jalapeños (lots) and Calabrian chili oil. I can have this more often! In place of chips/fries, I'm having a Side Salad made with romaine lettuce, cucumber, red onion, toasted tomato, fennel, Parmesan cheese and red wine vinaigrette. The Side Salad is good! That's a big portion! The croutons are huge! What a great meal here!

We placed orders for 12 of us over the phone today, we went to pick up the goods around an hour later. I got their Italian Sandwich this time. Previously I've had several of the salads. I think collectively my office has had their entire menu. From sandwiches, to salads, to pizzas, to lasagna and more. Every single meal has always been super fresh, where all you can hear is "mmmmmMmmmms..." My lunch was served on a freshly baked Italian hoagie roll, filled with roasted peppers, ham, tomatoes, mixed greens, capicola and provolone cheese. In addition to each and every single ingredient being super fresh, this was also a very large portion. I could have easily shared the other half with someone else, had it on another day or ate it right after the first portion... which one did I do? The restaurant it's self is little and very cute, it was full at 12:00 o'clock today. If you're looking for a quick and fresh lunch or dinner around the Wethersfield area, Lenoci's will check each of your boxes.

The restaurant owner seems to want to position this as an upscale high end restaurant. And that is…read morewhere it is priced. It's not really there though. It's like someone has an idea of what upscale should be based on 80's movies and did that. I ordered a ribeye on the bone. Instead of baked potato you traditionally get in a steak house, they give you mashed potatoes - they weren't bad, but they weren't great either. It also comes with a medley of steamed vegetables - squash and broccoli. No seasoning or anything to make it stand out. Finally the steak apparently came with a mushroom sauce which wasn't bad but to be blunt, the steak would have tasted better without it. In fact the waitress really should confirm customers know it comes with a sauce and verify they want it. The waitress did let me know the owner routinely travels to NYC for some reason to get his steaks. She didn't know from where in NYC. I almost forgot, instead of typical bread rolls to have while waiting for your food, they give a garlic and tomato sauce roll. It was decent and is at least something to give the restaurant some personalization. I wouldn't call it exceptional though. I am glad I tried it but I doubt I will return.

While I was picking up my order someone called and was told it'll be about an hour. Not sure if they tell people a longer amount of time on purpose or what but my pizza was definitely sitting.

There was good reviews of their grinders, so I got half a steak grinder, some mozz sticks, and a side of meatballs. Also got a slice of carrot cake because why not? Nothing I got was bad, but nothing I got was great either. The steak was not seasoned, the roasted veggies and mushrooms were not seasoned, the meatballs were not seasoned, the sauce was lightly seasoned but they use the same marinara across all their dishes. Mozz sticks are frozen but not bad, carrot cake was premade, but was good. had that wax paper welded to the top but didn't detract. Everything was cooked fine, but any flavors that were present in the dish were very muted and mostly bland. It's very much your run of the mill pizza joint, which is fine if that's what you want. There's a lot of places that offer pizza though, and there's nothing coming out of the kitchen that makes them unique. They are an option if you want pizza or a grinder
