    We had a fun time celebrating a family member's birthday at Capital Grille. We were lucky to have Ron as our server. He is great with recommendations and very attentive. A nice birthday desert was brought out for our son who was celebrating his 25th birthday. Ron brought out an unexpected desert sampler for the rest of us to share which was a very nice gesture. Can not wait to return.

    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.

    It was our first time at this restaurant however, our family members had been there before and recommended it for Christmas Eve dinner. Perfect evening!! All of the staff treated us like family and were happy to have us there. tried several sushi and appetizers. The size of the maki rolls was unbelievable and the flavors outstanding.  we had a picky eater among us and we were shocked at the things he tried and the things he liked from tartare, to foi gras and even bone marrow, so impressed.  Cocktails were absolutely loved by everyone …. Thank you for making our Christmas Eve phenomenal… we’ll be back!
