Market Grille in Manchester, Connecticut is a nice combination between an upscale eatery and a casual restaurant. You can meet your coworkers there for drinks just as easily as you could bring your child to Market Grille for their birthday. The menu is mostly modern American cuisine, but there is also an extensive wine and beer list.The four-cheese lasagna at Market Grille is very good. Two other very popular entrees here are the classic fish and chips and the stuffed domestic pork chop. If you like seafood, the raw bar here will not disappoint.

Time counts at BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we’ve continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ’s a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ’s to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we’ve put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven’t just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it’s because of them we’re continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ’s, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

    Wonderful, attentive service. Beautifully decorated space with a gorgeous view. Brunch was tasty and the bloody mary with chicken and waffles was a meal in itself. Will definitely return.

    We had dinner with the grandkids (ages 10 and 7) before A Christmas Carol. Nice menu options for them including salmon, which my grandson ordered and loved. Served in something resembling a bento box or cafeteria tray (only fancy), the kids’ meals were healthy - salad, apples, biscotti. Kids could not have been happier. Food arrived quickly, was fresh and hot. My daughter-in-law is a vegetarian and had the pad Thai. Enjoyed it. I had the salmon. Delicious!! Service was fantastic. Our server was very attentive. Everyone was welcoming and patient with the kiddos.

    Salmon was delicious, two had the special stuffed chicken which they really enjoyed and one had the spicy Asian pasta which she thought was very good. Our waiter Jose was amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. Love the atmosphere and the scenery.

    Service was excellent even though we were told they were short a few servers. Food was excellent, especially the original wings. Just a few items were unavailable, but no big deal. When my daughter’s food came out with cheese (when we asked for no cheese) they were very apologetic and offered to remake it. Overall a very good experience.
