This little spot, a diner car, has a great menu. It is open for breakfast,lunch and diner. I have eaten there for all three meals, and was very happy with the quality and quantity of food served. They serve American, Vietnamese, Thai based dishes. My favorite meal is Pho with beef. The broth is flavorful, and the beef is seasoned just right, all I have to do is add the chili sauce to my need for heat that day. I noticed that they do a brisk lunch take out, and those picking up must be regulars. The prices are very reasonable, plan on $4-8 for breakfast, $7-12 for lunch, and $15-25 for dinner.
If you are looking for a little hole in the wall place, with great food, try this place, you will be happy.

I received an arrangement as a gift and was very pleasantly surprised! The concept was new to me and I found it a little surprising. But, it’s certainly nice to have an edible gift instead of flowers that just die and are tossed.
The delivery was well planned and convenient. I happened to be home at the time and the delivery person was very friendly and nice.
I will certainly recommend this yummy and quality gift option to friends and use the service myself for sending to others.

Effie's place is a good place to go for cheap, simple food. I usually feel like the youngest one in there, because I am always the youngest. A little creepy having the family portraits on the wall but great desserts. The Chef's Salad is a great deal with tons of meat and fixings. The brunch is to die for but usually very busy. Service can be a bit slow but they are very friendly. A small local place is usually better than a chain restaurant so go there.

I ordered food at 9:04pm, they said it would be there in 30-40 minutes. At 10:00 I called, they said the guy already left and it will be there within 5 minutes. At 10:16pm I called to cancel my order. The gentleman the answered yelled at me and then hung up on me. I called back and asked to speak to a manager, he said he was the manager and hung up again. At 10:35 they showed up and I told them to leave. They are located approx. 2 miles fromm my house. I do not recommend them at all!!!

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

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.

As a child my mother always went to the Elmwood Pastry Shop and I've never been able to top this bakery anywhere. Every trip home I have to make at least one stop for their fantastic coffee cakes. Order early if you want any for the holidays like Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving.

Now the guy that owns this store and three other is a joke. First of all let me start by saying that this guy is racists and sexists, He would not hire you if you weigh more than 170lbs or if your not a model type. He has dry cleaners which mean that he should clean ur clothes, well surprise he doesn't the guy in the back called chris, what he does is if they dont smell then its not dirty, and if it has a stain then he will just use steam to get it out.. Now the big thing is he goes out and collect people clothes that home have been destroyed by fire and instead of washing them and doing what he charges the insurance company, this guy take bags of stuff over to his newington store in the back where he has two trailers, he throws them in there with fans until the clothes doesnt smell no more. Then he rebags then and ship them off to the customer and charges the insurance all this money!!!!! So please i urge you dont do business with this guy!!!!
Pros: NOTHING
Cons: EVERYTHING!!!!
