I have been to many Texas de Brazils over the years. Hartford/West Farms was one of if not the best. Although it’s smaller in size than most it made up for being cramped with the exceptional service and foods. This was the first location that ever swapped out dinner plate with clean plates and encouraged to continue eating. Kudos

Wonderful food and wonderful service. We had a reservation right when they opened and arrived a few minutes early but it was freezing and they welcomed us right in. My son had the salmon and said it was awesome (he’s very picky). Highlight had to be the baked Alaska for dessert!
