CoraCora, West Hartford CT.

ARROZ NORTENO: Northern Peruvian-style cilantro rice. Mixed seafood, rice, green peas, red bell peppers, choclo; seasoned with a cilantro and Aji Amarillo base, topped with red onion salad.

CHAUFA Peruvian-style fried rice mixed with scallions, red bell peppers, chopped egg; all sauteed in wok with soy sauce and black tiger shrimp.

CoraCora is an authentic Peruvian restaurant. I have been wanted to try this restaurant for a few years now because my brother and sister in law rave about it. So for my Birthday dinner they took me there!!

They have happy hour, so we had to have some drinks and appetizers! For apps we got the Empanadas, Yuca Rellena, Rumba Chalaca and Tequenos which were delicious!

I ordered the ARROZ NORTENO Paella and it was delicious. This was one of the best Paellas I have ever had. The seafood was fresh, I loved the cilantro rice and the veggies added a freshness to the dish. I loved every bite!

We did get dessert, and I love churros so I was very pleased with this sweet treat. And they surprised me with a chocolate cake for my birthday!! They made me feel very special! 🥳

I would recommend @coracoract to anyone in the West Hartford area. The food was delicious, the services was great and you can tell the chefs put a lot of love into their food!!

The Courthouse Bar and Grille, Putnam CT.

I have reviewed @courthouse_b_g before and I gave it a good review.

I tried their lobster roll yesterday and it surprised me because it was delicious. I was expecting there to be a lot of mayo, but there wasn’t the #lobstertomayoratio was just right.

The lobster roll was made of Lobster meat lightly mixed with mayo, celery, and dill in a toasted roll atop a bed of lettuce. The dill on the lobster roll added a wonderful flavor to the roll. The dill made the roll extra fresh and the lobster was fresh lobster. The toasted roll was very crispy too which gave it a great crunch. There was a lot of meat on the roll too. Once again it was another delicious meal at The Courthouse! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is going into Putnam.

Thames Landing Oyster House, New London CT.

New London has a really cute downtown. There is a lot of different places to eat and cute shops. There are some art shops, music shops and coffee shops. The water front looks really cute, I want to go back this summer to go walk on the path they have by the water. It was way too cold for that this past weekend!

Hot or Cold Lobster rolls? That is the question 😉

I prefer hot lobster rolls, which means butter is added to the lobster not mayo.

This restaurant let’s you choose btwn the two. The hot lobster roll comes with just lobster and a side of butter to add to the roll. The lobster was delicious. The meat itself was fresh and delicious. The herbs on the lobster paired really well with the meat. The roll itself was a great size and it was a filling dish. The hot butter really helps the lobster melt into your mouth! I really enjoyed this restaurant. The food was great, and the atmosphere was really cute inside. I can’t wait to go back and try more lobster dishes 🦞

Windsor Steak and Seafood Restaurant and Bar, Windsor CT.

Pan Seared Sea Scallops- Topped with chopped prosciutto, bacon, fresh tomatoes, Shiitake mushrooms in a Brandy cream sauce.

We were in CT visiting my brother and he suggested getting dinner from Windsor Steak and Seafood Restaurant and Bar. We did order take out from the restaurant and supported the local businesses. I was torn between all the seafood and pasta on the menu but the idea of scallops and prosciutto together in a dish sparked my interest! I love any dish with mushrooms and a cream sauce too, so this dish has some of my favorite things in it!

I was not disappoint by this dish at all. The Scallops were a great size and they gave me a good portion, especially accounting for the fact this was an appetizer. The scallops were fresh and tasted delicious. Sometimes scallops can have a rubbery texture to them but these did not, they melted in your mouth. The salty taste of the prosciutto and bacon complimented the sweeter brandy cream sauce. The fresh tomatoes and mushrooms blended with the brandy cream sauce very nicely. This was a very filling dish and I am happy I had such an amazing dinner. Next time I go visit my brother I would order take out or eat at the Windsor Steak and Seafood again!

85 Main, Putnam CT.

I have done reviews of the 85 Main crab cake before so this is not another review. But, I love how they presented the crab cake and market their brand!
