- RRichardConnecticut •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoMy 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.More infoMax Fish - GlastonburyPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Glastonbury•4.6
- SSydneyNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWe went on Valentine’s Day, so it was very busy, but service was still pretty decent! A great place to o shareable small plates- especially the risotto tater tots! Expensive, but not the priciest thing in WeHa. Overall delicious food and a delightful evening.More infoHarvest Wine Bar-West HartfordPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Hartford•4.8

- CCandyNew York City •22 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe had a wonderful pre-theater meal at Trumbull Kitchen. Megan was the hostess when we arrived and was terrifically accommodating on our request for a table in a specific location. The service was excellent, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our dinners. Everything tasted as beautifully as it looked. It's a wonderful place to go for a drink or dinner before the theater. My only less-than-enthusiastic comment was that the restaurant was very loud made worse by music playing way too loudly in my opinion. It makes it a challenge to have good conversation over dinner.More infoTrumbull Kitchen - HartfordPrice: Moderate• American• Hartford•4.6
- SSusanNew York City •11 reviews4.0Dined on 8 Feb 2025The 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!!More infoGather55 - HartfordPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Hartford•4.9
