Customer comments: I have eaten at Pastis several times, the food is good not great and it isnot true french cuisine, I would categorize it as more nouveau. Prices area bit inflated for the small portions. I do love the atmosphere it is very romantic with dim lighting and it is not noisy. There is live jazz on Saturday which is a plus. My main complaint with this establishment is the ridiculousy small drinks and vine that the bar staff tends to pour.

CUSTOMER COMMENTS:After seeking a reasonably priced well-reviewed restaurant in the Hartford area to dine with friends, I settled upon Carbone's of Franklin Avenue. I was thoroughly disappointed. Heralded as the best restaurant in the state, Carbone's simply doesn't match its hype. The prices were outrageous. Shrimp Scampi, an appetizer cited on the menu as "serves 2" for $17.00 provided TWO shrimp. One shrimp per person! A salad that "serves 2" offered romaine and a fancy dressing for $16. This restaurant is exceptionally pricey for what it offers. The food was good, but at those prices it should be masterful and sensational. The menu was pathetically limited --- few fish or pasta choices. The service was poor, with the wait between appetizer and entree like waiting for godot, wondering whether the entree would ever arrive. Seventy minutes for a chicken entree on a WEDNESDAY??? The theatrics are over-the-top. I can't imagine anyone being impressed with someone making salad dressing at the table. And too much fireworks -- with flambees erupting every thirty seconds often with hair-raising consequences--- do the Gruccis have a piece in this action? This was a real disappointment capped by the surliness of the wait staff.
