Arugula is a small place with a nice, cozy vibe, great service, amazing food, and an excellent wine list. Their fattoush salad is hands-down the best salad I've ever had in my entire life. It's rare that you find yourself craving a salad, but the only time it's happened to me is with Arugula. They have delicious desserts, too. You can't go wrong with this place.
Pros: Fattoush salad
Cons: None that I'm aware of

Luna's has exceptional thin-crust pizza. I've never been disappointed, and I've been to both the West Hartford and Plainville locations.
The interior is very nice, comfortable, the food is well priced and delicious. The staff has always been friendly and its never taken long to get our pizza. I would highly recommend them.

My boyfriend and I have been to the Elbow Room many times. We have always enjoyed the great food and cozy atmosphere.
However a few weeks ago we went and were served at the bar by an extremely un kept and rude bartender. Her name is Balina -or maybe Valina? Hard to tell through her mumbling and disgusted look on her face. I asked her a few times to make a simple cosmo in which she seemed to have never heard of. I thought it was pretty simple and common. Apparently not.
She was very slow to make the drinks but very quick to drop the bill each time with anticipation of her tip.
I have never had such awful service. And the appearance of her stained clothes and messy hair was very unappetizing.
We decided this one awful experience wouldn't stop us from going to one of our favorite restaurants and enjoying wonderful food. Instead we will just make it very clear that she will not be the one serving us. I suggest everyone does the same.

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.

I don't know why the past few reviewers are complaining about the service, because I, too, grew up in West Hartford and have always found that the Max line of restaurants truly knows how to make a customer feel appreciated. The service at the Oyster Bar may feel a bit more rushed just because it's one of the more popular and vivacious places in West Hartford Center, but it's still above and beyond what you'd receive anywhere else.
Although I'm not an oyster person, there's enough non-oyster cuisine to please anyone. They bring out an interesting (and delicious) plate of carrots with a mustard dressing, which is a nice alternative to the standard loaf of bread. They also provide thin crackers with butter, which are also incredibly good. The martini list is incredible--check out the bloody oyster if you like bloody mary's--and you can find great deals with their grand prix 3-course options. For $25 (and sometimes less), you get an amazing 3-course meal.
Finally, the Oyster Bar provides some excellent people-watching, whether you're outside on Farmington Avenue or inside the beautifully decorated and spacious interior. It doesn't hurt to have good eye candy ;)
Pros: Drinks, environment
Cons: Price

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

I am currently a patient at West Hartford Chiropractic. I have been treated in the office for the last couple of years and I have to say I am very happy and satisfied with my experience here. The reason I started coming to the office was due to my scoliosis and with my consistent visits I have seen a huge improvement. I think what has truly helped my healing has been not only the office itself but the staff as well. The ladies at the front desk are pleasant and extremely helpful with anything I may need. On most days I see Dr. Stacey who I have to say with her firm, but gentle touch have done wonders for my back and the pain I have had. She gives me her full attention when I am there and I feel as if I am speaking with a friend rather than a doctor. It is so nice to know that she understands my needs and gives me excellent advice. Dr. Laub is amazing with his adjustments as well as being able to give me all the knowledge I need to help in my path to better health and feeling great! I am so thankful for the amazing staff and doctors at West Hartford Chiropractic because without them I know I would still be living my life in pain.
Pros: Very helpful and understanding
Cons: none

The science c enter of connecticut is a great place to bring the kids. They offer tours and lessons. A great place to bring students if you are a teacher or school administrator. They have a giant walk in whale. They have a great dinosaur exhibit sometimes and have live animals. They also have a great gift store.
