    Yummy pre dinner bread
    Jennifer Z.

    We came here for a celebratory dinner and we were not disappointed. Service was friendly and attentive. We started with a crispy calamari appetizer, definitely worth ordering. The complimentary garlic bread was warm and wonderful, definitely hit the carb craving. We decided to split the filet mignon Oscar medium rare. It was prepared artfully and big enough for the two of us. We also ordered a Caesar salad as a side. We enjoyed the entire meal and will definitely be back.

    Our first time here. Food was prepared exactly as ordered. We sat at the bar and kevin the bartender was very friendly. The portions were very generous and well seasoned. The steak and lamb were delicious.

    A very nice solid sophisticated option for dinner in Hartford. If this was a football team I would describe it as professional, well run with no mistakes. Starting with the service, the wait staff knows the menu and the wine list and can really give you nice advice and recommendations. The chef actually also came out to talk though options with one of the tables. The wait staff are there when needed but not obtrusive. The ambiance is nice maybe a bit tired but no complaints there. The tables are far away enough that you can have a nice conversation without hearing your neighbors. The food is excellent. Starting with the complimentary rolls that are clearly home. We had the caprese for an appetizer and it was presented beautifully and tasted great. While the name implies a steak house they do have an excellent menu that includes tons of pasta. I had the lobster ravioli. It had plenty of nice lobsters pieces, a wonderful sauce very similar to a lobster bisque and the pasta was al dente just how I like it. The wife had these large shrimp that were perfectly grilled with a light but tasty Alfredo sauce. The tiramisu for dessert was home made and very good. Great option for your meal in Hartford

    Dated date night spot, big portions but lackluster meals. We made the trek to this location because we wanted mussels and steak, and this place offered both. Came here as a Friday night date night. Early enough in the evening to miss the crowds but late enough to still go out and do other things afterwards. Coming up to the place, was fairly large and reasonably decorated if not a little non descript. Got seated quickly and was delivered bread to the table. Seats were harder than anticipated, and everything for decoration was clean but dated and sparse. We ordered the mussels to start while we debated on the steak choice. Munched on the bread while we waited, which took a good 20 minutes to get. We decided to eat the mussels first then we would order our entree Weirdly enough, these mussels were presented, flavored, and cooked all wrong. None of the shells had the mussel meat in them, it was all piled on one side of the plate. The mussels were overcooked, gritty and had no flavor. It tasted like they took frozen mussels, threw them in sauce, added a bunch of shells, then warmed it up. The Sauce was a red mananara watered down with red pepper flake added. We decided that we were not going to order the steak after that. The server never checked back in so we couldn't fix the blunder. And as we were leaving the server tried to ring us out for the mussels. They didn't actually charge us for the mussels, so I'm willing to chalk that up as a blunder. But it doesn't excuse the kitchen. From what we witnessed other tables getting, they do offer large portions of their sides. So they might be good. But this was not worth the trek for us. Approach with caution, and avoid the mussels

    Wow!! What a great place! April our server was so very sweet ! She got us a nice table near the window. She told us about the specials, and got our drinks. It was quiet at the time, looking around- it was very clean and cozy! Table decor was quaint. Overall a very nice place. We got our appetizer, delish!!! Scallops and risotto When our main course came-- nice!!! Rib eye steak-perfection!! Oh my! Oh, and I almost forgot the home made bread!!! Don't fill up on it- soo good!! Then dessert-- anything is awesome!!! Food, Service 5 star!!! Thank you April for a great birthday for my husband !!!!!

When I was in the Hartford area and craving some fish, I checked out this spot on Yelp. It's not in the nicest part of town, but that's often where you find the best food. As I stepped inside, I was greeted warmly and ordered the number 5 platter, which included three pieces of whiting and a piece of catfish. I wanted some coleslaw on the side, but they didn't have it. The staff mentioned they sold potato salad instead. They even gave me a sample, which was just okay--personally, I thought it needed more potatoes since I could mainly taste the dressing. My order arrived within about ten or fifteen minutes. The fish was just so-so. The whiting was a bit bland, and although it looked crispy, it felt slimy when I bit into it. The catfish was good and didn't have that slimy texture, but it lacked a real punch of flavor. The fries were decent enough. The customer service was friendly, and the staff made me feel welcome.

Once seated service was prompt and friendly. We ordered or drinks (local micro brew IPA and wine) and a large "The Works" pizza. I have to honestly say this is one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time. The crust was thin, but perfectly crispy on the bottom and not burnt. When sliding a section off the serving tray it was semi-rigid instead of the usual spaghetti like limp dough found elsewhere. The toppings for fresh and perfectly cooked. As mentioned earlier, we ate the pizza on premises, so it came out of the oven piping hot. I am not sure if the crispiness of the thin crust on the bottom would remain if it had to be transported home in a box. If one is looking for a good thin crust pizza without getting "carbed out" on bread, the Tunxis Grille is worth a try.

I HIGHLY recommend you hold off for dinner until AFTER 6:30 and closer to 7:00. Apparently people in CT even on a Monday or Tuesday like to eat early. With that said; after two consecutive Monday nights of trying to get in here, I made it back for consecutive dining on a Wednesday and Thursday night. First night I had their Shepherds Pie (which was a strange choice since most of the menu is Italian fare) and then I had their Lasagna the next evening. BOTH dishes were ridiculously wonderful. The Shepherds Pie had the addition of cheese on top of it and the lasagna was more than enough for TWO people. Service was fire, tap beer was ice cold and the aesthetic inside had lots of brick and wood creating a relaxing atmosphere. My peers were also quite pleased with their dishes which also included the Carnivore pizza. Should I ever find myself in the area again, I will absolutely dine here again

For that price, you only received soup or salad, an entrée, and dessert. I really think an appetizer should have been included considering the price point, especially for a special occasion like Mother's Day. We were seated downstairs near the kitchen, and it was extremely warm and uncomfortable down there during the meal. On a positive note, the service itself was fairly quick, and our waiter was very attentive and friendly, which was appreciated. Overall though, the atmosphere, organization, and value for the money left us disappointed. This did not include drinks and automatic gratuity was included in the bill since we had a party of 6.

I also got the gluten free lobster roll, and maybe it's the style I wasn't a big fan of (warm buttered), but I think there's an opportunity to butter the roll itself and toast it on a griddle to invoke that crispy buttered roll that screams lobster roll deliciousness. The fries were great. I live it when they aren't too thin, a little thicker, nicely salted, and that perfect crunchy crispy brown and caramelized with a soft center. Add some lovely service, and I would happily come back to Burton's and all of their gluten free options any day of the week. What a treat!
