The Scene – Hartford's professional set spends hours dining leisurely on classic, elegant American fare while overlooking the rapids of the river. The after-work crowd unwinds over light fare and drinks in the more informal pub downstairs. White walls, antique glass windows, and cushy chairs complete the country-club feel. – – The Food – In a new twist on an old favorite, escargot are snuggled under a mound of boursin cheese and covered in buttery baked puff pastry. Fried calamari is dusted with a blend of Asian spices and served with a mild wasabi dipping sauce. The…

Never Again
by Peyton8753 at Citysearch
Arrived and waitress took drink orders. We also asked for menus. Got drinks but no menus. Had to ask again after 15m. Then had to wait another 15m and caught the attention of someone to take our order. Ordered shrimp which came with a small amount of sauce so we asked for more. 15-20m later, we asked again. When food arrived we were not happy at all. Sandwich meat was greasy, bread was soggy. Crabcakes were made with ground sealegs or canned chicken of the sea with raw minced red pepper..barely cooked. Sent them back. They came back the same way. When waitress came back to clear the table, it was clear I didn't eat the crabcakes. Did not ask if I wanted them wrapped, just cleared. Did not ask us if we wanted dessert. I'm disappointed. Seems the recession is affecting the best of restaurants. I won't go again. There are too many other options that are consistently good with food and service however pricey
- Pros: Decent beer selection
- Cons: Service, Food

Poor service & no follow-up
by wkirsten at Citysearch
Great location with such potential. Unfortunately, very poor service with far too much attitude. Not 'customer friendly' at all. What is worse is that after I left messages for both the owner, Ann Howard, and a week later, for the GM, Kevin Quinn, no one has returned my calls. Unacceptable!
- Pros: Great location
- Cons: Poor service
