Restaurants near Shield Street Plaza Shopping Center

I ordered a Caesar salad and fried oyster platter. Everything was delicious. My companion ordered one of the many specials and was very pleased.

I have been to many Texas de Brazils over the years. Hartford/West Farms was one of if not the best. Although it’s smaller in size than most it made up for being cramped with the exceptional service and foods. This was the first location that ever swapped out dinner plate with clean plates and encouraged to continue eating. Kudos

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!

We were celebrating our anniversary at Artisan., and it was a very special experience. The food was outstanding -- everything cooked to perfection. Our server, Georgia, was excellent -- attentive, personable, and always there at just the right moment. Artisan is one of those rare restaurants where the acoustics in the dining room are designed in such a way that adults can conduct a conversation in a normal tone of voice -- most welcome! West Hartford is filled with excellent restaurants, but Artisan is truly a cut above. We will be returning soon.

Hostess and Alexandra our waitstaff for this evening were very cordial. They handled all our party’s requests during the evening very efficiently. The tuna and sea bass entrees were delightfully plated and cooked to everyone’s satisfaction. Excellent service throughout the entire night.
