Really enjoyed our meal here last evening; Went in after a film and were seated promptly (we did have reservations, a must in West Hartford Center on Saturday night); they are known for their wine list and did not disappoint, had a couple of glasses of Rioja (excellent) and my companion had her usual Chardonnay. We shared the Pea Fritters which were amazing, a very unique app with a lovely sweet sauce reminiscent of Tamarind. She had the risotto, which she really enjoyed, and I had the steak, which was very good, and a reasonable portion (no one needs to eat a pound of meat). It was served with delicious roasted carrots and mashed potatoes, also very good. We finished up with coffee/tea, and shared the yummy chocolate tart. The restaurant has a great urban vibe and is very loud. Great service and very attentive staff and management. You definitely will not regret eating here!
