   We had early reservations due to heading into Hartford for a UConn game so the restaurant was empty. We were greeted immediately and indicated that we weren’t ready with our drink order so she said she would come back……she didn’t. When she did finally come back we gave our drink and food order. Then we sat, and waited, and sat some more then our food order came, no drinks. The food was ok, nothing great, extremely overpriced! I paid over $20 for a chicken sandwich with fries! My son ordered SLIDERS medium, they came out raw but no server to ask to bring back to cook properly. How do you not cook a slider?!?!? The runners delivered our food and drinks, we never saw the waitress again. We had to flag down a host to get to go boxes and our tab. Service was terrible, food was subpar for price and they need to work on timing of drinks and food coming out . Definitely would not return!

   The food and drinks are always amazing here! The Rosey Monkey drink special was fantastic. The Asian Pear Martini was also a hit! The Wellas Wings were so crispy and the chicken inside so tender, the flavor was that of something your Abuela would make, Sasson and Adobo delicious. The Blue NY Strip was so juicy and flavorful nice compliment to the steak was the thick cut bacon and blue cheese crumbles. Steaks were cooked to perfection, the side of roasted potatoes were crispy on the outside soft on the inside. Desserts you must try are the carrot cake or the Woodford Apple Crumble. Pure comfort on a cold night. The place is always packed on the weekends so be sure to book a reservation.

   Food and service was excellent. We sat in where the entertainment was and it was very loud. But we enjoyed the atmosphere. Would highly recommend

   It was incredibly busy. We had a reservation at 515. Sat promptly. Took 15 min for waitress to come over, ordered everything at 534 -food and drinks. Got apps at 550, still no drinks. Got drinks at 620. Still missing 1 beverage. Got it at 635. Asked manager where our food was as we ordered over an hour ago. He came over with a receipt of some sort and basically accused me of lying and said we placed dinner order at 615. We did not. He then disappeared to check on our food. Never came back. Got another manager as we had to leave by 7 for another reservation and paid for drinks and apps and left. I will never go back after the service and the way I was treated as if I was lying because the waitress never put our dinner order in until 615.

   The service, the server and the food were excellent. The manager asked how everything was we commented how the Bourbon fig Foxtrot was amazing. We liked the chocolate fig inside. The manager brought us a few more. Great evening. Definitely will go back.

   The Flying Monkey is a great place and fun! Food is delicious, a very cozy ambiance—one side of the restaurant host great bands and musicians on certain days and the staff’s very attentive! This is a must visit for any food lover!

    I had salmon, Brussel sprouts and grits. Spouse had strip steak. Both were excellent. We had a very nice server. Drinks from the bar were slow to arrive but it was a busy night. Very good!
