Restaurant Recommendations

We are meeting friends from out-of-town for dinner in or near Hartford. Any recommendations for a fun, enjoyable dinner where we can take our time while we have dinner and catch up? Thanks!

Restaurant Recommendations

Apricots in Farmington is a nice atmosphere. The pub is very nice on weekends with a good piano player. In the summer you can sit outside on the patio with the Farmington River running by. Very nice. apricotsrestaurant.com/apricots/index.php

Piccolo Arancio in Farmington is a very very good Italian restaurant on Rt 4. Traditional Italian meals in a nice setting.http://www.piccoloarancio.com/

The Grist Mill in Farmington is a French place.They have nice seating with the Farmington River flowing in the background. They also have a patio outside by the river. http://www.thegristmill.net/

Then of course there is West Hartford center where anyplace is good.

Thank you for your help.

You%26#39;ve gotten good suggestions already but you might also consider Max Downtown in Hartford or Max Amore or Max Fish in Glastonbury.

sadie32-No problem-I think Apricots is opening their patio this weekend or next. I know people hang out there for a long time. They dont take reservations in the pub or on the patio; so its first come first serve.
