OT: Restaurant Recommendations

[WeAreUCONN]

My Husky is turning 21 this week. Looking for a recommendation for a relatively local restaurant to celebrate (think “fancy dinner” as opposed to “getting wasted”). Thanks!

My daughter turned 21 last Wednesday. Took her to Lansdowne at Mohegan Sun. Great atmosphere and really good food and service.

Do you ask for it crispy or is that standard fare? I like it cooked but maybe a minute or two less.

I asked well done

Hartford area I'd go with Zohara, UConn area I'd go with Willibrew or Bidwell

Feng Chop House was solid in Hartford. Hit it up a few weeks ago.

i got the worst food poisoning of my life from that place. it was either the kimchi fried rice or unagi sushi. it literally felt like someone was stabbing my stomach with a searing hot knife every 5 minutes for almost 2 full days.

Good to know. Haven't been since COVID and have a pre-Journey reservation.

Don’t stop believing

Going back to Feng, it has a cool decor and had great sushi. I'm imagine it still does. Sushi is fun on a birthday.

Who’s crying now?

The Applebees on 195 was where I used to go when going to school and looking for a nice classy meal.

That was my go to pre game happy hour apps stop before games for a number of years. Half price!!!!

Probably best that you and Feng go your separate ways.

The Beamhouse in Glastonbury. Pork belly is to die for, wood-fired pies, and great selection of craft beers.

Considering the bragging that he does on this forum I'd find out what August West is cooking this weekend and crash his home.

Sole Proprietor, Near the Worcester, MA art museum. Great bar and seafood specialty, check it out on Trip Advisor. Just been renovated. About 1+ hr from Hartford, easy parking, nice old time feel. Been there recently, great place to meet someone or special occasion, might not fit a 21 year old unless they love seafood.

I used to cook at Mansfield Depot when I was at UCONN. Great place. Sorry to hear it burned down.

My Dad took me to dinner to celebrate my 21st at Mansfield Depot, if one of my sons goes to UConn will have to at least hoist a beer at the old site to commemorate.
