First of all the Puppy Center and Aquarium outside has been fully refaced along with the whole strip mall. They now have a nice big sign and spacious parking lot with easy access from the road. Inside they look as though they are currently renovating. They have a huge selection of fresh water fish and large selection of salt water fish, creatures, live rock, coral etc... The puppies look very happy and are in very large rooms. The smell was a bit strong but honestly the pens were pretty clean.
Follow up: I've since been shopping at this store and had the chance to speak to numerous staff members. All were very helpful. Ron and Nick specifically really knew their stuff about african's. They helped me get my aquarium setup and our fish are doing spectacular. I'm going back today for more fish. Oh and Ron had the opportunity to go over their renovations and aside from the general huge expansion he's also installing a state of the art ventilation system for the puppy center and the whole section will be a self contained area. Great job. Highly recommend this place. The nay sayers are either old reviews or are sorely mistaken.

With an incredible rooftop bar (complete with a waterfall and TVs) and dining area, extensive and reasonably-priced wine list, delicious and interesting menu, and convenient location, you cannot go wrong with the Elbow Room. It has an interesting interior design, giving it a romantic feel. The menu items are delicious and range from unpretentious to daring. You can order something artistic and unique, but you can also stick with the tried-and-true macaroni and cheese, except this version is better than anything you’ve ever made yourself. And the prices—while somewhat high—are entirely reasonable for the food, service, and environment you’re getting. It’s easy to order things that won’t break the bank and still have a great experience.
The crowd is typical West Hartford Center and ranges in age, but the typical diner is probably in his or her 30s. The upstairs bar attracts people from their early 20s to mid 40s. People often take their kids, though, and they don’t seem out of place.
Pros: Environment, wine list, rooftop bar, interesting food
Cons: Nothing

If i'm not mistaken, it is the largest asian grocery food store in connecticut. They have such a great selection for asians and those that just like asian food. Fresh baked pastries and bread, fresh fish, fresh vegetables, all sorts of canned goods, but in all honesty, your life will not be complete until you check out their candy section. It is to die for.

Food was very good...service was quick. The kids ate every bite! We loved the garlic chicken (has a kick, too!) and the chicken and broccoli. Steamed Dumplings were good, too. Egg rolls crispy and hot...but check the bag..they forgot some dipping sauce! We will go back soon!

I recently took my dog to Planet Bark in West Hartford and was highly impressed. I am very picky and very attached to my dog, so I was reluctant, to say the least. The courteous and knowledgeable staff showed me around the facility and answered all of my questions.
The facility was unbelievably clean and the dogs were having a blast. As I sat in the office doing our "interview", there was an endless number of dogs bounding in and very excited to be there.
Talk about high end... Leather Futons, elevated feeders and endless playtime! They even have a large outdoor play area with new ASTROTURF!!!
Here's my advice: go to the other "kennels" in the area...take a tour (if they let you) ...make sure they take you back to where the dogs actually sleep. Then tour Planet Bark. There is absolutely no comparison. You will be running back to Planet Bark with your tail between your legs!!!

We just returned from dining at Pond House and thoroughly enjoyed this week's Tasty Tuesday dinner. Each month on Tuesdays a 3-course meal is offered for only $15.55. Our meal started off with a delicious portabella mushroom and goat cheese timbale salad which was followed by egg battered monkfish sauteed in olive oil and white wine, served with garlicky spinach and pureed potatoes. Dessert was a lemon poppy seed cake with lemon curd and almond whipped cream. Everything was fantastic and bargained priced. Service was attentive and friendly.
I suggest making advance reservations and bringing a bottle of wine, the corkage fee at $5 is a bargain.
Pros: Price, view and food
Cons: None

Knowing that the hot water heater needed immediate replacement, Craig moved some of his other work for the day and made replacing the heater a top priority.. We first spoke at 9 AM and by
2 PM the new hot water heater was in place. The price was fair and the service was excellent.

How can you be out of bread bowls at lunch? And I asked for no lettuce and got lettuce. The cashier was clearly not happy to be there, and was unconcerned that my order was wrong. For the price, I'll stick with Subway.
Pros: Food is decent
Cons: No seating, price is too high
