I've been a regular at Fernwood Restaurant for as long as I can remember, and it's always been a place that feels like home. It's not just the cozy pub atmosphere or the full bar that draws me in; it's the consistently spectacular food. Let's talk about their clam chowder - it's easily one of the best in the state, rich and flavorful in every spoonful. When St. Patrick's Day rolls around, Fernwood becomes my go-to spot. Their corned beef specials, particularly the classic corned beef and cabbage, are a must-try. And if you're in the mood for something a bit different, their Reuben sandwich is a delight, perfectly balanced and packed with flavor. The menu's variety is another reason I keep coming back. There's always an impressive selection of seafood, and the 'build your own burgers' are a fun and delicious experience every time. But, the real star for me is their bread pudding. It's not just any bread pudding; it's served with a heavenly whiskey sauce that takes it to another level. In all my years of dining here, I've never had a meal that was less than spectacular. Fernwood isn't just a restaurant; it's a culinary landmark in West Hartford, a place where every dish is a celebration of flavor and every visit is a cherished memory.
