    Faroe Island Salmon
    Steven B.

    We had a party of 6 and all the dishes were fantastic. I should have taken more photos for everyone to see, but I will next time I visit. The salmon dish was perfectly cooked and had a beautiful maple and honey mustard blend. The waitress had swagger and helped us as needed. Stay tuned for my next visit.

    What a pleasantly surprising experience! I fell in love with the homemade Big Mac Eggrolls. I am so happy to have finally visited this gem in my hometown! Elegantly decorated, carefully crafted menu with delicious house made dipping sauces, and a fresh scratch kitchen menu. This is a fabulous spot to enjoy a night with girlfriends, a cozy romantic local spot for dinner, apps or a night full of delicious cocktails.

    I was looking for a place to have a girls dinner for International Women's Day. I wanted something different and stumbled upon The 1851. The name intrigued me. I called for reservations and Luke answered the phone. He was so friendly and personable that I immediately got a great vibe and knew this was the spot. When we arrived we were also welcomed by Luke who explained that The 1851 was a woman owned business and was named after the year Cromwell was officially turned into a town. I loved learning all this! The owner, Jen actually ended up coming out and she introduced herself, which I thought was such an intimate touch to our dining experience. As Luke sat us, the bartender even engaged in conversation and made us feel so welcomed. Luke ended up being our server as well, which I was so happy about because he was so bubbly and fun. He recommended some great drinks, appetizers, and dinner entrées. We ordered two appetizers to share to start. The first one was the fried green tomatoes with fresh mozzarella, pesto sauce, and arugula, and it was absolutely amazing. We also tried the tuna tartare appetizer and it was so fresh. I have the New York strip cooked medium, for dinner and it was massive. It was served with the best side of spaghetti squash, risotto, and Brussels. My friend tried the short rib with mashed potatoes and the spaghetti squash with pine nuts and pesto sauce. I tried a bit of everyone's dishes, and I must say they were all on point! For dessert, we shared a pistachio ricotta cake that was the perfect ending to a fabulous night. I highly recommend checking this place out!

    See all

    What a fun night! Came here with a couple of girlfriends. Started at the little lounge area, but…read moresoon took the party to the bar when we ran into another yelpie! Don't let the outside of this place fool you because looks are definitely deceiving. We were cautious coming to this place due to the appearance of the outside, but once we were in it was so much fun. Agus, aka rawbartender, was Ah-mazing and truly made the night fun. He was truly such a vibe!! I ordered the SpongeBob, which was Goslings rum, pineapple spice, ginger, lime, angostura bitters. Especially with the show that was put on, my drink tasted even better. It was a Smokey, yet smooth and refreshing drink! We also got the Snow White, on the sweeter side made with Pear vodka, orgeat, pear juice, lemon juice, cinnamon. And of course, we can't forget our schooling in tequila and Mezcal from Agus. He was very informative of what he was serving and we tried a few different shots. He gave us the rundown of how you're actually supposed to taste tequila. And I have to say I've never had an experience like that before. I wish the party didn't stop and I will definitely be coming back specifically for Agus and of course the drinks!

    Finally got to check out this hidden speakeasy in new Britain ! If you're looking for a fun night…read morewith the girls , a cozy date or just wanna grab a drink this is the place ! The code to enter is updated daily on the website , once inside the you enter through the bookcase door. The ambiance is nice cozy , low -moderate lighting ( not to dim ..you can still read the menus without a flashlight... which is nice) We sat at the bar and the seats were very nice and comfortable ( which I enjoyed a lot) and spacious I didn't feel squeezed between chairs/people ! The bartender was fabulous . And made great drinks ! We just got drinks I got the peaches peaches which was pleasantly really good not to sweat or bitter , not to overpowering with peach flavour very well balanced . They also offer small bites / food. I will def be back to try some more options !

    Went with a party of 10, I made reservations and we were able to sit down on time. Service was…read morewonderful. Drinks stayed filled, and the waiter came by to make sure we didn't want any refills on any alcoholic beverages as they were being consumed. He recommended a few appetizers for the table. We got to try the chef special, garlic bread with ricotta, and calamari. All very good. As was the bread and oil that I think comes with every meal. After I heard the specials, I went with the short rib gnocchi, but the salmon with spaghetti squash was a close second. I wasn't disappointed in my dish. It was a really good size and I ended up taking half of it back with me, something tells me it's gonna be even better the next day as most Italian food is. My one regret is that I didn't order the lemon cheesecake to go. All of the desserts sounded amazing, especially the hazelnut tart, however, the lemon cheesecake is super cute and I heard from other people that have been to this restaurant before that it is delicious. Maybe next time!

    Visited Casadoro, for the FIRST time, yesterday night (2/6/26)…read more The place was veeeeeeeeery LIT and clearly popular. Parking was tough and some guests spent 10+ minutes finding a spot, so arrive early. We had reservations and were seated right away, but because it was packed, service was slow. Drinks took about 15 minutes, appetizers about 20, and entrees roughly 35 minutes. Food-wise, everything was good overall. I had the bolognese -- great flavor, though the pasta could've been cooked a bit longer. Calamari tasted good ,but lacked seasoning and crunch. My mom enjoyed the salmon, especially the potato purée she subbed in; green beans were just okay. The lemon cheesecake was tasty, though not what we expected presentation-wise. One downside: Salads were offered in a way that made them sound complimentary, but they were $11 each and added up quickly. Also note that automatic gratuity is added for larger parties (ours was 8)...so it was $85. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves. We'd definitely come back, just on a less busy night.
