Best Comfort Food Restaurants in New Britain

Wonderful food and wonderful service. We had a reservation right when they opened and arrived a few minutes early but it was freezing and they welcomed us right in. My son had the salmon and said it was awesome (he’s very picky). Highlight had to be the baked Alaska for dessert!

Food and presentation a cut above the competition. Our party of 4 enjoyed a variety of brunch offerings, with the braised beef gnocchi dish particularly noteworthy. We finished the meal with the French Toast of the day - cinnamon and pear - a real treat! My only criticism would be the coffee - it was brewed a little weak - not clear if it was specific to that particular pot or reflected the beans used. While we did not order any brunch cocktails, we noted some interesting offerings on the drink menu and well prepared drinks being consumed by others. Strongly recommend a visit for brunch, lunch, or dinner. There special price fix dinners and lunches are also noteworthy.

The entire staff from our hostess to waitress to manager were all amazing! The food was outstanding. Four of us dined and shared apps and tried each other’s dinners and there wasn’t one thing we didn’t all enjoy. We arrived on time but there was a bit of delay getting us seated. The hostess continually checked in with us and made sure we were seated as soon as a table was available. The manager was apparently made aware (not by us) and at the end of our meal she offered us desserts on the house, which was both unexpected and very much appreciated. A great touch and ending to an overall outstanding experience. We will be regulars here from now on!

This was our very first dining experience at the Publick House and Ebeneezer's Tavern. We thoroughly enjoyed everything and this was in large part due to our server, Myron. Just a personable and caring young man. The food was delicious and we thought the portion size and the flavor of each mail was great. Even though we took advantage of the monthly coupon offering one free entree with the purchase of another entree, we felt that the pricing of each item provided a great value for our meals. The atmosphere was bustling but we had a perfect spot for 2 and felt very comfortable and not bothered at all by the surrounding activities. We are already talking about returning in the very near future. Thank you all.

This was our second visit and was just as wonderful as our first ! The ambiance, food and service is outstanding. The staff genuinely care about their customer’s experience. The food is authentically Mexican and the homemade guacamole app is a must ! We will be making this our favorite for sure !
