Best Restaurants for Foodies in Hartford

food and service were perfect. tiffany, our wait staff, was gracious, friendly, and attentive. it was a bit chilly in the dining area as well as a bit loud. we have been to the pond house a number of times and it is consistent in the quality of the food and experience. we will not hesitate to return. thanks for a lovely day.

Great food with wonderful service! Our waiter - Leighton - was very attentive, but not over-present. He timed inquiries perfectly between courses and conversation!

The 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!!

The Monkey is a favorite of ours. Food is always on point and delicious. We visited on Saturday night and it was not overly busy, but the service was crazy slow. The tables around us turned 2x by the time we finished. Even with that said.... Go to the Flying Monkey- Great food, The manager is always there, so hard working, and fun atmosphere.

They were able to get us in at the last minute and the service and food was great.
