Love coming here for a date night dinner or with friends! Although they are super busy (rightfully so), the service is efficient nonetheless! staff is super kind and it food is yummy!

I was recommended Wood-n-Tap by coworkers, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. For a small Connecticut chain, they've really nailed the consistency and quality. I sat at the bar where the bartenders were quick to greet me, hand me a menu, and pour a drink without missing a beat. I've been ordering the Pinot Noir here, but to be honest, the wine selection feels a bit basic at this location. The Pinot was drinkable but not great--next time I might switch it up with a Merlot or something else. Now the food, though, is where this place shines. The salmon with Parmesan risotto was out of this world. The flavor, the texture, the way it all came together--it was perfect. The salmon was baked just right, and the risotto was creamy and rich. Even the asparagus stood out; they give you hearty pieces that are so thick, you almost need a knife. Service was warm and upbeat, and everyone seemed genuinely excited about the ongoing renovations. The only downside for now is that the men's room is temporarily a high-end porta potty outside. But it's a sign that better things are on the way, and honestly, it didn't take away from a great night. Highly recommend--especially that salmon.

Came here for lunch and was waited on by Laura and she was amazing! I signed up for the rewards program because she recommended it. I had the lobster grilled cheese summer special sandwich and it was great. They have 1/2 bottles of wine on Mondays. She also suggested the strawberry cheesecake for dessert so I had it. She is the reason people come back to here and become regulars. You have my business whenever I am in Southington!!

I have gone to this restaurant several different times. Overall, I would classify it as just okay. If you are looking for a place that's quick, fairly priced and basic I would recommend this please. Every time I have gone I have tried something different, and I just feel as though all the food is blah. They have a nice selection of drinks and the staff is always phenomenal.

Fries
Anika T.

Went here after a long soccer game in the rain and we're happily greeted and seated quickly even though the parking lot was packed. The waitress and hostess were kind and paid attention to detail. My son had the filet medallions with lime rice and French fries. The filet was cooked good but seasoning was minimal, the fries were nice and crispy and the rice was lacking. My husband had the half rack of ribs with garlic mashed and coleslaw. The ribs were fork tender and had nice bbq flavor. I had the Thai Asian salad with a side of grilled chicken. The addl order of chicken literally was four slices of chicken. The salad had a blob of noodles, dressing, and small sprinkle of mandarin oranges and peanuts no other veggies or add ins to the salad. We shared the crème brulee which was tasty but not your normal as it had a chocolate bottom layer. The lights in the restaurant are pretty dark and dreary and the booth table seemed a bit dirty but it was a buzz Saturday night. They do take credit card and there is plenty of parking

The Wood N Tap is located as a stand alone restaurant in a supermarket plaza. Parking does not seem to be an issue, although online pick up parking is pushed a bit off to the side. The interior is very dark - it's not hard to see, but definitely a dark wood theme. There are several rooms with tables and booths, and one with a large bar. Most curious is one long bench along the hall towards the restrooms. It's so long, I couldn't quite figure out why it was there in design. The servers were very pleasant though, and kept the refills coming. Yay hydration! The burger was the quality I've come to expect from the Wood N Tap, with ketchup carefully portioned out. The crab dip was very cheesey, but the crab itself was hard to find. However, I recommend saving any extra to dip with your fries and/or sandwich. Don't let it go to waste!

Cobb Salad
Alicia N.

I crave Woodntap at times, specially for their salads. This time my dad asked if we can go since he havent been in a long time and I didn't even hesitate to say No! Sangrias are always great there, the Service and food! Today my dad ordered the pork Chop Piccata. Came with asparagus and mashed potatoes. My dad subbed the mashed potatoes for French fries. He said it was tender and not dry! I was also satisfied with My dishes. I did want the steak Cobb salad but kitchen staff was unsure if bourbon marinade had wheat and was gluten-free. Do I didn't order it. I would have loved to tho! So to be safe I just order a small house salad. Everything we did order was very good tho . Sat outside! Drinks were great! No complaints. Just wish they New the steak sauce ingredient on the salad.

Blue cheeseburger, Parmesan tots, Mariner sandwich and sweet potato fries
Marilyn B.

Had a busy day and popped in for a burger. We'd never been here before, so were pleasantly surprised. I had the Blue Cheese burger and hubbie had the Mariner Sandwich (Salmon). Both were excellent. He had sweet potato fries and I had the Parmesan garlic tater tots. Everything, including the service was excellent

ruebin eggrolls. DELISH!
Michelle R.

Did a really nice job on St Paddys Day menu. Plenty of options. Which I'll show in pics. Always have solid service & good quality & a nice variety.

Russel's reserve single barrel bourbon
Michael W.

Don't sleep on this place like I did! Focusing on their whiskey / bourbon selection they have at least a dozen single barrel picks. We tried three of them - Russel's, old forester, and Jack daniels - they were all delicious. Service was also great. Christine was attentive and willing to help us whenever we had questions. The other guests seated at the bar were cool too - we talked about food and music in a comfortable setting. Happy hour specials were great. My quesadilla was only $6! I plan to return to my local location to try more single barrel picks during hh in the future.

Cheers to 2024!!!

Great food and excellent service. We'll keep coming back!! Real chill atmosphere. We love trying all of the different appetizers!

House salad no egg w chicken
Amelia Z.

Good salad, chicken was cooked well, I like that they use the mixed croutons. Chicken portions are a little small for the price but overall good quality.

Spicy (mildly) Mac and cheese
Ruth N.

Three and a half stars for this unplanned visit after the restaurant we planned was closed for Friday lunch and dinner (smh!)?? Food was good ... appetizer of half order (8 PCs) wings were great although we ordered garlic Romano and here was definitely a curry flavor in there ... thankfully we like curry and enjoyed them as well as their dressing with chunks of blue cheese. My arugula salad with delicious apricot vinaigrette (perfect balance and not too acidic) with walnuts and fried goat cheese and added (5 small) shrimp for $7 extra was delicious. The "spicy" Mac and Cheese was more just a flavor of chipotle then spicy but still good! With drinks out check was $61 so not bad. Service was good, not stellar and a little slow but acceptable.

Four of us went in for lunch and found small servings and slow service. The waitress seemed like we were a burden.

Great place! I was craving tacos and Tacos Mi Nacho had the best reviews in my area. We got there…read moreabout 20 minutes before closing and they were still so nice and patient while we decided what to order. I told the it was our first time there and the lady taking my order answered some questions I had with a smile. I ordered 1 cow tongue taco, 1 al pastor taco, a kids beef burrito and a steak burrito. The kids burrito is a great deal. You get a choice of a burrito or quesadilla and it comes with fries for 9 bucks. The lady was so humble she didn't even realize they had great reviews online until I showed her. Everything was good with my favorite being the burrito and the cow tongue and my least favorite being the al pastor (not that it wasn't good, it was just ok). The food was ready quickly and they even gave us 2 of their limeades on the house! Delicious btw I highly recommend their homemade limeade. It's so refreshing and sweet and the perfect compliment to the fat is and burritos. The food smelled so good even in the container lol. I'm def going to be a regular here.

The restaurant is situated on a side street just several burrito lengths from the Meriden Green where the farmers market was in process of concluding. On entering we were impressed by the size of the interior which was festively decorated as well as the number of employees though the acoustics proved to a bit distracting due to the loud music continuously being played. After a short wait a server arrived bearing at trio of menus, a basket full of taco chips and multiple enhancements. Meat options for the street tacos were not fully detailed, but when queried we were told both pollo and al pastor were available. We decided to share a quartet of the latter plus a pair of sodas. It took quite awhile for our meals to arrive so we took full advantage of the complimentary chips and salsas. It was during this period that I discovered the bottle marked spicy was indeed spicy so it was wisely ignored from that point forward. The tacos proved to be fresh and flavorful though the meat portion was under whelming and extremely dry. Our servers were uniformly pleasant though each step in the process from taking our order to obtaining a check took longer than either desired or required. A rating of 2.5 stars is deemed most appropriate.

Let me start by saying I am very biased when it comes to Mexican cuisine after living in Southern…read moreCalifornia for 15 years and having spent a lot of time in Mexico. Mexican food is one of my favorites and I am an unabashed snob. Since moving back to CT I have struggled to find good Mexican, and it looks like La Catrina May have answered the call! Recently had dinner with our neighbors, one of which has a litany of food restrictions. I was nervous that there wouldn't be much for her to eat when they agreed to try La Catrina with my wife and I, but I was wrong. Our waitress was very patient and helpful in directing our friend to a number of dishes that would be ok for her to eat. The kitchen was also very accommodating in tailoring her food to ensure her needs were met making her meal and experience all the more enjoyable. As for me, I dove right in and started off with some guacamole which was fresh, creamy, and very enjoyable. I then moved on to a bowl of pozole which was very authentic w/ hominy and a very nice broth. For my main course, I went with the Barbacoa Des Rey. Very good and again authentic. Served with rice and beans with a side of fresh corn tortillas. Finished the night w/ Dulce de Leche and an order of Churros. The Churros were enjoyable, however, the Dulce de Leche was a show stopper. Huge portion and extremely decadent. One of the better that I have had. While I do not drink, my wife and neighbors ordered some of La Catrinas signature cocktails and were extremely happy with them. There is a large bar and the restaurant has weekly entertainment to give the restaurant a night life vibe. We really enjoyed our dining experience at La Catrina. The food was authentic Mexican and excellent. Drinks were solid and desserts were a big hit. Service was outstanding. Looking forward to coming back to our New Mexican go-to so I can dive deeper into the menu that includes the regional dishes I have come to love from my time in Cali and Mexico. Especially looking forward to the Cochinita Pibil. If you are in the Southington area and looking to experience authentic Mexican, La Catrina is the place to be! Side note: My wife wanted me to mention how much she loved the enchiladas mole!
