Feng Chophouse is located on a side, somewhat narrow, one-way street in Hartford. There is a parking lot across the street -- a bit pricey at $10 for two hours, but there is also street parking (metered) available. Our OpenTable reservation was immediately honored. We were offered seating in either the bar or the main dining room -- we chose the dining room and were seated at a nice table. The remodeling -- the restaurant was closed for a period -- is quite attractive, although it is somewhat dark (as seems to be the way of most steakhouses around here -- J. Gilbert's, Fleming's, Morton's (in its day -- sadly gone)). The service was efficient and professional, although not particularly warm. We ordered hand rolls prepared by the sushi chef -- my husband was quite happy with his California roll; the quality of mine was much better than anything I would get at Westside Market (Rocky Hill), but I should have ordered a vegetable roll, rather than one with shrimp in it (as it was a special occasion). That said, this was a taste preference on my part -- not any failure on the part of the restaurant. My husband ordered a filet from the chophouse menu. He thought it very good, although it didn't have that steakhouse flame-licked taste, which he would have preferred. I ordered the Korean BBQ short rib with slaw -- the short rib was as tender as could be; the sauce on it was very good (although I wish there had been more of it (and I would ask for a side of it now knowing)); the slaw was truly excellent, although the chef could have left out the cauliflower/green broccoli florets and the brown, largish-romanesco broccoli, which sadly looked like a turd (and was a distraction from an otherwise attractive presentation of the plate), and added more slaw. We also ordered a side of the bacon fried rice, which featured candied cashews -- this was a home run! We didn't order dessert -- we headed to Rocky Hill for ice cream at Scoops & Sprinkles to celebrate my husband's birthday. The acid test: would I go back? Yes, we will go back -- maybe once or twice a year. The bill came to about $130 for two -- no alcohol, no desserts, which was a bit on the pricey side, but not necessarily out of line.

2. Trumbull Restaurant

Great for business meetings (or work social celebrations)...lunch and dinner.Tip. ... For an intimate business meeting (20 or fewer), ask for seating upstairs Early in the week, dinner crowd was busy. Perhaps this was why service was slower. Food gets a 3.5 (appetizers, main dish, dessert). 5+ actually for desserts. Swordfish was so so, but I don't like strong tasting fish. Crusty crabcakes hit the spot.

Sushi was tasty, service was quick and friendly, and the presentation was amazing. My plate featured a little handcrafted wooden fence that the sushi sat in front of, and an elaborate floral arrangement, in addition to the lovely and colorful sushi roll itself. The plate looked more like a work of art than something you're supposed to eat. Sushi is frequently visually appealing, but this was above and beyond what I've seen before.My only gripe has to do with the dining room. There was a laser light projector shining little red and green dots all around the room to create some kind of ambiance. However, the table I was seated at meant those little laser dots shone right in my face! I tried shifting around to avoid them but in the end had to ask for the projector to be shut off. Thankfully the staff did turn it off and I was able to enjoy my meal, but it was not great that it was there in the first place. Hopefully they remove it entirely so others can enjoy their food without worrying about danger to their eyesight!In all other regards it was a great experience and I'd gladly go back if the laser is shut off.
