1. Rein's New York Style Deli / Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 646 reviews
New York Style Deli Sandwiches, Hand cut Lox, Breakfast Served all day, Bakery with fresh baked Bagels, Rye Bread
Reviewed By W-Hartford_CT - Connecticut
The biggest problem about Rein's is what to order. Should it be the brisket and gravy over potato pancakes? The soup with kreplach? Corn beef on rye with cole slaw and spicy mustard? I'm getting hungry typing this! The menu is expansive and the wait staff is helpful and fun. Expect a wait during peak meal hours, but the line does go fast. Just wish it was closer to where I live. On second thought, maybe not. :-)

Love, love, love their ice cream. There is nothing like fresh homemade ice cream. Summer wouldn't be complete without a visit to Collins Creamery.
3. Gerry Donuts

My friend and I had been craving "fancy donuts" at school and came across this place online. In a pretty sketchy plaza but the donuts were fantastic! Nice and soft, however the woman working said their best seller (honey dip) sells out within a half hour to hour of opening! This is no "donut crazy" but a nice treat (and not a Dunkin donut). Also only $3.09 for a half dozen!! Overall worth the trip!

4. UTSAV Indian Cuisine
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 134 reviews
Reviewed By Renee V - Cromwell, Connecticut
For appetizers we ordered both the lamb and vegetable samosas. These abundantly filled, tender pastries where beyond delicious. Entrees included lamb Rogan Josh, tandoori chicken, lamb biryani. All the dishes exceeded our expectations. Tandoori chicken was moist, unlike most restaurants serve. However, The standout dish was the lamb Rogan Josh. This is by far the best Rogan Josh I’ve ever tasted. The amount of lamb was worthy of being called a dinner entree... unlike many Indian restaurants where you rely on rice and sauce to fill you up. Service was outstanding. Highly recommend this restaurant.

La Brioche Bakery makes great French Breads. Nice a crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They make three to four different shapes along with rolls. The ingredients in the breads all seem to be the same since they taste the same. They also offer a variety of pastries.
6. Trattoria da Lepri

This restaurant always has a varied menu. We had the brie antipasto and the eggplant caponata, Followed by the Caesar salad and a scallop dinner. The meals were plentiful and tasteful. The presentation is always outstanding. This is not an inexpensive restaurant. Drinks and the meals are on the pricey side but you always get what you pay for.

I've been coming here to get coffee beans for at least 5-6 years and the people are always the nicest. Kevin the owner, you'll catch him at the shop at some point every single day, and the coffee is exquisite. Bursting with flavor and depth.
I don't get my coffee beams form anywhere else. ☺

We hate rest stops and fast food. When we leave Maine in the afternoon for NYC, we stop at the Vernon Diner as it is off 84 and provides the wide menu that is quintessential diner. Great service from the waitresses. Their soups are outstanding. This is a great place to take a break.

10. Monet’s Table
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 26 reviews
Reviewed By Retired662013 - Glastonbury, Connecticut
Monet's Table is my absolute favorite place to have brunch on Saturday. With so many great breakfast places to eat in Glastonbury, driving to Tolland has to be worth the trip. And it is!! Monet's Table is situated in a beautiful house surrounded by amazing gardens. The atmosphere inside is classic New England, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Each room in the house has it's own unique charm. The buffet menu includes eggs, omelets, pancakes, etc., prepared with seasonal herbs, vegetables and fruits. At my last visit, I ordered a pancake special that was oatmeal pancakes with blueberries and chocolate. Totally decadent!! Monet's also brews my favorite Harney and Sons Tea...Paris. My schedule does not permit me to go for lunch; however, I am sure that the food is just as good during the week. A friend of mine hosted her daughter's bridal shower at Monet's and she said that they were great to work with, and everything was perfect!
