Best Restaurants for Foodies in Hartford

The food and service are always excellent at Gather 55. The ambiance is very relaxed and welcoming and the staff is great!

Food is as as usual expertly prepared On our visit so-called mission figs appetizer were not indeed mission figs (they’re black; this one was brown) and frankly a little stingy. There were four quarters of a tiny brown fig spread across a bed of about 10 arugula leaves, two large sugar encrusted walnut chunks and 3 large lumps of ricotta. Really. Just 1 fig cut into quarters. Not sure what the problem was, but if the kitchen stock was low, why not just take them off the menu until availability improved. Anyway, just a disappointment We had an early reservation since the noise level here can be problematic. Nevertheless the waitress seemed too tired to be at work that late afternoon. Normally we have great experiences here.

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!

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