Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Hartford

The Pond House is a gem in our community. The location, service and menu is perfect for a casual meet up. The acoustics are so bad. I have found it only works for me if there is one person to talk to so I can focus.

Our party of six had a wonderful outing on a busy Saturday night. The staff was attentive to our party’s requests and made very good drink recommendations. Everyone enjoyed their entrees, which included the salmon, grilled chicken breasts, and the ravioli. All were delicious. Even with a full restaurant, it didn’t seem too loud. Our party was able to converse without raising our voices. Although the bar area was really close to our table, we didn’t hear any carryover conversations. That could be due to the light traffic at the bar on this night. But it didn’t seem like a raucous bar would be the norm here on any night. We will likely book here again when we’re in the area for our next show.

Always love coming here, the food is amazing and the service is the best. We have made this a spot when we are celebrating and will continue to do so!

Always a great choice for excellent New England meals in an historic setting. Our server, Grace, was especially kind and gave us plenty of time to talk and enjoy our lunches. The Bakery is a must on the way out!

We had a wonderful time. Good was great, our server was amazing, and it was overall a good time. Recommend!
