Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Hartford

Amazing vibe when walking in, staff was so friendly and kind, the food was amazing, looking forward to going back soon!

What a nice surprise! Black-Eyed Sally’s has a great menu with a variety of Southern favorites. We ordered fried green tomatoes, followed by chicken & ribs bbq and blackened catfish. Both were excellent, including the suggested sides. Our Mississippi mojitos were good. We also enjoyed the band (note: noise level was a 4 when the band was playing). The decor is eclectic and music themed. Our server Tee was great (is everyone in Hartford this friendly??). We’d definitely recommend Sally’s!

The manager is amazing! Staff is very tentative. Love it!

An absolute exquisite dining experience with incredible service, fine wines, and a wonderful cozy atmosphere. This is absolutely my favorite restaurant! Is the only place that I go where I never put anything on the steak. No salt or pepper or anything. The way it is seasoned and the way it comes is perfect every time. I’ve been going to J. Gilbert for 25 years and it’s amazing that I’ve never had to send anything back to the kitchen. They are so careful in their preparation and so precise. Such high-quality food. It’s also the restaurant I go to for every one of my birthdays!

We 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.
