Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Ellington

Everything was delicious and the service was excellent! Can’t wait to come back for more special occasions.

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.

We had a wonderful server, and quality wine, as well as very well prepared food. Delicious! In addition, there is a wonderful view of the Connecticut River. Wonderful restaurant!

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.

Always a great experience, weekly Wednesday at the Bistro is well worth the price, can’t beat it!
