    W O W This place chefs! Truly amazing food and service. The balance in their flavor profiles is a wonder to taste. The duck was the most insanely gorgeous thing I have ever eaten till now. The agnolotti was incredible. Our lamb belly starter was the most tender & delicious! Love the beautiful tasty cocktails( Old Fashioned and Nog). The service is 10 stars & I feel truly honored to have been able to score a reservation on my birthday.

    My wife and I came to Trumbull Kitchen with our son, daughter-in-law and grandkids after attending the Disney on Ice show. We had a great experience all around and the food and service were top notch. Our server was awesome and took great care of us. I absolutely love the Rock Shrimp appetizer and my Stone Pie was excellent. Trumbull Kitchen is one of our favorite restaurants and we try to return as often as possible.
