Best Casual Restaurants in Hartford

My partner and I dined here for Valentines Day, and we were very happy with the experience. The staff was so polite and considerate and I could tell they were very busy. They still made time for us to feel special. We sat at the bar as we waited for our table, and the bar staff even brought us our check without having to ask for it. The waitress was Fantastic and made amazing recommendations. And the food was top notch’s. Such a lovely evening and thank you for creating such a memorable experience.

Amazing vibe when walking in, staff was so friendly and kind, the food was amazing, looking forward to going back soon!

The manager is amazing! Staff is very tentative. Love it!

An absolute exquisite dining experience with incredible service, fine wines, and a wonderful cozy atmosphere. This is absolutely my favorite restaurant! Is the only place that I go where I never put anything on the steak. No salt or pepper or anything. The way it is seasoned and the way it comes is perfect every time. I’ve been going to J. Gilbert for 25 years and it’s amazing that I’ve never had to send anything back to the kitchen. They are so careful in their preparation and so precise. Such high-quality food. It’s also the restaurant I go to for every one of my birthdays!

The experience was wonderful. We were a party of 5, first time for all of us. Our waiter, Lorenzo was very good. He explained how the restaurant operates. The food was very good. We all enjoyed eating out while supporting Hands On Hartford. The vibe was quiet, the room is very attractive. The menu is small and changes monthly with the rotation of chefs. There is an option of a Prix Fixe, or Ala Carte. The servings are generous!! We went right at 5 when they opened since we had been at a matinee at a local theater. I can’t speak to the vibe or noise level after 6:30 or so! For our group we have found our new spot for dinner after we see an early show!! The monthly menu changes fit in with the theaters changing shows!!
