OC Kitchen-Bar — Restaurant in Rocky Hill

Sometimes you really want a place to be better than it has been. I’ve been here several times since they opened. Each time unfortunately is worse than the last. Yesterday was my last visit ever. They seem to have one waitress for the entire restaurant and maybe just one cook in the back? It took 30 minutes to even get our order in. Apps come out one at a time. The bread to go with one of the apps came out maybe 15 minutes after the meatball app had been brought to the table. The charcuterie board came out moments before the first entree. It was sparse and extremely disappointing. Two entree came out first. A pizza that takes only 90 to cook along with a seafood dish that was more potato than protein. Timing and service are just so off. You can almost sense that the server knows this and has resigned themselves to the flow and standards of this establishment. The other entrees came out about 15-20 minutes later. Risotto was inedible. The dominate taste was water and olive oil. The others pasta dishes were under seasoned and very bland. I will say the Caesar salad was fine. I won’t be back and I debated if I should even write this. I’m doing this to hopefully save someone the lost time and money until this place either gets their act together or the...

First of all, we did our online search while this place had a 4 plus stars. The place was empty with a lady who was waitress and bartender and a one cook.. 1st appetizers: a salad with olive oil as a dressing, really small muscles, and decent calamari yet no flavour what so ever.. let's not also forget about the cold bread that came to the table after we finished from the tiny starters for 6 adults. 2nd main course: a steak , a fried chicken , two types of pasta and a pizza. Fairly speaking the food looked Frozen and had no flavour again.. the so called "brick oven pizza" was ough! No marinara and the took the "waitender" a while to get me some... Finally desert: Eddy creme brulee, lava cake with hard lava inside, and the tiramisu was old and soggy.. I have no idea how they had a 4 stars but that was sadly a first and last time to me. I would also like to bag whoever writes anything about any restaurant, please be decent because a lot of people are counting on...

I came here with a small group of friends for dinner during the week. The place was easy to spot off the road and had plenty of parking. We walked in and I had to flag someone down to get us seated since no one was at the front. We then took a table outside since the weather was nice. We were told that the pizza oven wasn't up that day, so unfortunately that took off half of the dinner options on the menu, additionally 3-4 main entrees were also not available. I asked if there were happy hour specials and was told they weren't offering happy hour anymore. Once we did order and got our food we were all pleased with it and it was very good. Our waitress was also very friendly. My friend and I were both wearing open toe shoes and our feet/legs kept getting bit by some sort of bugs, but nothing was flying around us. We both had bites the next morning so I would recommend to...
