A "courteous" and "professional" staff welcomes visitors to this "classy" and "cheerful" Downtowner, located near the civic center, within "walking distance" of restaurants and with "easy access" to the highway; the "modern" and "tasteful" rooms earn kudos for offering a "calming experience", but the just "average" restaurant is "pricey."

Though "certainly not charming", this "convention-friendly place" on the "outskirts" of Hartford offers guests, especially those driving on I-95, both "cleanliness" and "convenience"; the "comfortable and satisfying" rooms and public spaces include an "excellent restaurant", and guests can work off dinner in the "good" health club and "too small" pool – though business travelers yearn for free high-speed Internet and WiFi in the rooms.

"Between the business area and a not-so-nice neighborhood", this white 18-floor high-rise is "convenient to all highways and Downtown" and offers a shuttle that runs in the immediate area; staying in a place that's "quiet, clean and well appointed, despite its urban location and age", most respondents have a "pleasant stay overall"; still, "having to pay" $15 for parking and similar fees for Internet and breakfast doesn't make anyone "feel like such a welcome guest."

"Please! be adventurous and try something other" than the "fabulous paella" (perhaps the "mariscada in salsa verde") beg boosters of this "wonderful" family-run Spanish in South Hartford; it's "off the beaten path" and a "little pricey", but "consistent quality and a friendly staff make this a repeat visit."

"Come hungry" for "real Mexican" "served with flair" advise amigos of this "family-owned" chainlet; even those who declare it "generally mediocre" find places in their hearts for "not-to-be-missed" margaritas and the occasional "mariachi serenade."

"Delicious" "brick-oven" pizzas topped with "amazing ingredients" ("the sweet-pea-and-ricotta is a gem") drive pie-zani to these "family-friendly" Italians that also win props for "freshly baked" bread and "basic" red-sauce items such as the "giant entree of sausage peppers"; though some shrug it's "neither exciting nor disappointing", "prompt" service and "huge" portions make it a "good value" for many.

Hot Tomato's

"Garlic city" is what fans dub this "hopping" Hartford Italian "near the civic center" popular for its "incredible cheesy garlic bread" and "memorable" house pasta specials at prices that are "quite reasonable"; it's a "casual" place with "great people-watching" and a "fun-loving staff" that "treats you like family", though critics caution the room can get "very noisy."

Max Downtown

Considered by connoisseurs to be the "crown jewel of the Max group", this "Downtown Hartford power spot" "consistently delivers" "heaven on a plate" in the form of "awesome steaks" and "terrific" New American fare coupled with "inspired cocktails" and "fine wines"; "top-notch service" "without snobbery" and "elegant" yet "comfortable" environs are two more reasons why it's "totally worth" the "pricey" tabs.

Morton's The Steakhouse

"Consistency abounds" at this "old-school" steakhouse chain pairing "well-prepared" chops that "hang off the plate" with "seriously powerful martinis"; "arm-and-a-leg" pricing comes with the territory, along with a "Saran-wrapped presentation" of raw meats (accompanied by an instructional "recitation" by the waiter) – a "shtick" that many find "tired."

Peppercorn's Grill

"Passionate" chef-owner Dino Cialfi juxtaposes "traditional" Italian preparations with "delicious bursts of whimsy" at this "bright spot in Downtown Hartford"; the "attentive, knowledgeable staff" abets the venue's reputation as a "completely reliable" part of the "pre-theater routine" – although a few bean-counters calculate it's an "overpriced" one.

Tapas on Ann

Name notwithstanding, Spanish tapas aren't on the "inventive" menu at this "big-bang-for-the-buck" chainlet, just "hearty, tasty" Mediterranean fare "served in a welcoming atmosphere"; the "best Greek salad around" is "worth the trip" alone, and the "blackboard specials" usually include "lots of vegetarian options"; P.S. those who find the West Hartford locale "crowded" should note that the Downtown branch was expanded post-Survey.

Trumbull Kitchen

"Younger and more hip" than some of its Max Group brethren, this "place to be seen" (but "not to have a quiet conversation") in Downtown Hartford "delivers good value" in "something-for-everyone" Eclectic small and large plates that "send taste buds into overdrive"; there's also a "killer bar scene" and a "great patio."

U.S.S. Chowder Pot

"Busloads of retirees" fill "railroad-station-sized rooms" festooned with "weird" "schooner decor" at these seafooders where "rushed but pleasant" staffers ferry fish that's "dependable", if "never quite as good as you'd like"; "portions so large they can feed two people" make the "reasonable prices" seem "quite low"; N.B. live bands in Branford and dinner shows in Hartford are regularly scheduled.
