    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 !!!!!

The whole evening was fantastic. Shane took great care of us and struck that perfect balance of being attentive, personable, and making everything feel easy. He helped the night flow in a way that let us relax, laugh, catch up, and enjoy ourselves without ever feeling rushed. The dinners across the table were a hit, but my Moroccan lamb special was next-level. It was one of those meals where you take a bite and immediately stop mid-conversation because your full attention has been redirected to the plate. The flavors were rich, layered, and so unexpectedly good that I'm still thinking about it. Everyone loved their meal, the atmosphere made it easy to settle in and enjoy the evening, and the prices felt very reasonable, especially for how good the whole experience was. All in, Republic Gastro Pub gave us exactly what you hope for in a night like that: great food, great service, lots of laughs, and a dinner worthy of the reunion

Nothing major, just something noticeable. Also, while the food is creative and well made, some items felt a bit pricey for the portion size (for example, a meatball serving), so value may depend on what you order.

I would bring everyone there. When they opened the new location in Windsor , it was still great. It was a birthday outing type of thing. I went again last week, which was likely my final time. For the past few years, I've been giving it a pass... growing pains, maybe? But the food is not what it was. The succulent, juicy brisket that I used to dream of has been dry and cold for the last year or so (probably 3 or 4 visits). The burnt ends, which used to be as addictive, are now no longer made from brisket...but what seems to be cubed chuck...again, dry. Texas sausage and pulled pork are still ok, as are the sides. On top of that, they are always short staffed, and the staff that they do have is not helpful...not friendly.. Just a big NOT anymore. I haven't been to the Hartford or New Haven locations recently, but as far as Windsor is concerned, it will not be going back anytime soon. I don't mind paying the premium prices for quality food and service, but you are no longer premium. Please figure this out. My favorite place no longer exists.. and I really want it to return to the quality of the past.

The bar is always quiet, everyone clinks their glasses at the most minimal of volumes, TVs are always on what seems to basically be mute, and everyone is always having very quiet, calm, relatively unemotional conversations with one another. Situated inside the Windsor Marriott, River City Grille boasts some pretty standard American fare, but what really makes it for me is how damn quiet it is. The only thing you can hear is the lobby water feature about 150 feet away in the hotel atrium. For me, the quiet is no big deal one way or the other, but for my grandmother & her hearing aids, it is very much appreciated. We frequent a multitude of food-serving establishments in Hartford & West Hartford, and with a lot of background noise sometimes it is hard for her to hear and really get involved in any conversation. Well, she can hear everyone when we eat here. Which is good. The food is pretty decent; the portions are like mountains (yay, tomorrow's lunch) and the waitstaff are always quite nice. Service is routinely a bit slow though - so don't go here if you are in a rush. Good fish, chicken, soups, salads, pasta - never had a bad meal. Tack the food onto a quiet, calming atmosphere with slow (relaxed) service and a waterfall in the background...and overall it's a pretty nice place.

The food is on par with many other hotels if not better. The chef will try to accommodate for dietary challenges. The bar is well stocked with top shelf liquors.
