First time here. We had a party of 8. Whole experience was A+. Cocktails were very well made and unique, dishes were also not the boring usual. A weight staff was knowledgeable and thoughtful. Will return for sure!

Beautiful space, especially outdoors when it is seasonable. Food is always excellent and the menu changes regularly. Outstanding cocktail options that change regularly as well. Service is excellent, from the greeting at the host station and table. Always a great experience.

Went to Trumbull Kitchen (aka TK) before attending a show at The Bushnell. We sat in the bar area and it was quite lively and energetic, and the service by Ricky was outstanding. He was very efficient, attentive and super-friendly! He made sure we were taken care of and we had plenty of time before the show and did not feel rushed. We shared a few of the tasty happy hour appetizers and then dug into our delicious seared tuna and melt-in-your-mouth braised short rib entrees. It was a great dinner with excellent service by Ricky who seemed to effortlessly sense when we might need something. He was “ninja-like” in that way, which is a good thing! Looking forward to our next trip back to TK.

    We had the best time last night at dinner celebrating our anniversary. Trinity took great care of us. She was super attentive and everything was timed perfectly even though she was busy. We ordered the steak and short ribs and cleaned our plates! We have already recommended to a few people and will be back again!

    This was our second visit. It’s such a pretty space and I love the dining table setup. The owner is friendly and welcoming. Love her scones, chicken salad, and chocolate croissant.
