My friend and I were visiting from several states away and saw this place on social media. It was one of the best experiences I have had at a restaurant in a long time. The service was unmatched, the entire vibe of the restaurant was just breathtaking, the cocktails were crafted perfectly, with a drink menu for everyone. We were a little apprehensive about the menu at first, but we loved everything. If you are in the area (or even if you’re not) this place is a must!

Such a beautiful restaurant and it’s perfect that it’s near the Hartford Stage. The food was incredible and fairly priced and the drinks were really unique and the service was great. Highly recommend for anyone seeing a show or happen to be nearby.

Listen, i am a sucker for ambiance and decor, but if the food does not deliver i am not happy. We definitely left happy. and stuffed! This restaurant is just the absolute cutest it’s so gorgeous walking in just makes you happy and feeling fancy. My husband and i were both feeling the appetizers and small plates , so we just decided to share a few. I won’t go into detail about each dish but we really enjoyed the interesting flavor combinations of everything. Very creative and skillfully executed. Unique and delicious. Service was delightful.

I had a really excellent solo dinner with cocktails at this lush spot. The location is so well appointed and themed and I absolutely love the idea of bringing some friends and playing board games. I had the duck breast and it was phenomenal as was the Kalamata olive martini and their take on an old fashioned.

I finally got the chance to check out this spot. It’s beautiful inside, very elegant and demure. The menu is different. The service was good, the drinks were decent. I didn’t try an entrée, I just did appetizers and drinks. I night try an entrée next time.

hidden gem – hostess gave honest food recommendations. Most dishes are customizable if you need to remove or swap an ingredient. Farm to table. Ask about the daily specials. Great for a special occasion. Seasonal menu and drink options.

Searching for a walkable cocktail bar downtown, with an neigh on aggressively cottage core vibe, in Hartford? Nailed it.
The location on a cute alleyway full of city spirit, herbal vodkas with exciting flavors & knowledgeable bartenders, with a vibrant character of the crowd was second to none. However, the permiating high tea & floral theme, with a waitsaff which appreciates the gratitude that comes with patience may offput some.
Great for first dates & Instagramers.
NGL, will come back if I return to Hartford.
