My bus tour booked this restaurant for lunch on our way back home. A buffet lunch was planned for us. We were served immediately upon our arrival. The food was delicious. The buffet included salad, chicken thighs, pasta, potatoes, green beans and bread. It was very pleasant and we were finished eating in an hour.

The service is always great at Chilis and everyone is very friendly. Food was good and drinks were good. Service was fast and we had no issues. We usually make it a monthly trip with coworkers.

I think it's just a very run-of-the-mill type of chain restaurant there wasn't really anything that struck us as being particularly standout just seemed very very run-of-the-mill and we have lots of choices like this in town it was cleaned they were friendly but I can't really say anything stood out

Finally had a chance to stop in for dinner. Contemporary vintage type atmosphere with exposed brisk, tin ceiling, etc. Similar vibe to former pub/restaurant that was previously in this location. Very pleasant and attentive staff. Good beer selection with local breweries featured. Wine choices a bit limited. Menu is mostly typical pub fare with a few more upscale items. I had hanger steak over Israeli couscous and grilled asparagus and a local ale and was happy with my choice. Definitely recommend stopping in for a bite and a drink. I just hope they stay creative and vary the menu.

We had passed this restaurant many times because it is very conveniently located to a shopping area and cinema where we frequently go. We wanted to try someplace different for our anniversary lunch so we chose J. Timothy's Taverne. We were very pleased with the colonial pub atmosphere and friendly staff. The menu is eclectic -- so many choices! We both ordered the open-face crab melt sandwich with onion straws as the side. Delicious, and just the right portion size. We will definitely visit J Timothy's again soon to try some more of the many tempting offerings.

The service was outstanding. The waitress knew about the menu items. They were very attentive to us. I really enjoyed the food. The salad had fresh greens that looked like they came from a farm. The presentation of the food was very appetizing. The burgers were really good. This places is small and has less then 50 tables. There is a small bar area. This place can get noisy on a busy night The food is a little more upscale the bar food. They have local gelato from a local place in ct.
