Best Modern European Restaurants in Rocky Hill

Our server was very pleasant and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious!!!! My boyfriend and I had the short ribs for dinner. And for appetizer we also enjoyed the ginger calamari and brussels sprouts.  The cocktails were extremely tasty!!! We can’t wait to go back again!!

Our second time at Blue Bottle and we plan to return even though we live over an hour away. The Valentine's Day Prix Fixe meal was deliciously paired, expertly prepared and wonderfully served. Our wait staff, Brian, is an absolute gem. He also served us on our first visit 3 months prior and we were stunned that he recalled where we sat, what we ate and where we stayed for the weekend in nearby Princeton. He was extremely attentive without being intrusive and expertly ensured our evening was wonderful. The stuffed mushrooms and braised red roast duck crepe appetizers were off the chart delicious. Their Blue Bottle salad is simple yet wonderfully balanced. The pan roasted New York strip steaks were cooked to order, including rare for my wife which she loves, but at so many other places is poorly executed. The tomato confit with the meat was so good Brian bought us extra. We had decision anxiety on dessert, but were delighted with the profiteroles and pineapple upside-down cake with caramel sauce. They were so delicious that we went rogue getting a third ala carte dessert, the chocolate pot du creme, which was the best we've ever had.

Awesome service. We were late for our reservation and the manager was kind enough to accommodate us. Our waiter George was amazing. From his attentiveness to his recommendations of food was phenomenal. Will definitely come back when the weather get nice so we can sit outside.
