Visiting this place after 16 years and such a transformation. We visited in February when they had a speak easy theme decor. Just beautiful I wish they do that all the time. The food is delicious we tried the tuna nachos, calamari and buratta all made to perfection. The bartender was very nice and friendly. Overall great experience can't wait to be back

We were married at Tate’s, and would recommend their event space to anyone. The view of Connecticut River is beautiful! They really strive to give you a complete experience. Though we hired an outside decor and floral vendor (Petals & Plates, Southington CT), Tate’s even has decor items to rent so that you can truly take the worry out of your big day. Tate’s event coordinator was wonderful to work with, and they have a variety of packages for any budget. They even matched menus to our own signage for a seamless look. We were able to hold an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour which transitioned into an indoor reception. Dinner and dessert were fantastic, with Tate’s making both our cutting cake and the donut wall all our guests are still talking about. Vegan and vegetarian options are avail

We celebrated my birthday in the heated outdoor igloo! We had a round of drinks and 2 appetizers. The teriyaki fried cauliflower was amazing and the ricotta dip with honey and bread was excellent! The atmosphere of the igloo was cozy with couches, blankets, fluffy pillows and 2 space heaters !! The waitress was very kind, upbeat, and asked if I wanted to be sung happy birthday! One of the male mangers came in and sang a beautiful version of happy birthday! That was a nice touch and very well done! We will be back for mob month in the month of Feb. !!! Thanks so much!

Been here twice so far and both times were a good experience! The outdoor seating is mostly in the shade which is very nice even when it's hot. This place can get very busy and I can see why. The food is very flavorful! The chef does excellent work. We got there around 5-530 and we had a short wait, but on the weekend day, a lot of people came behind us. Indoor seating is always available but there is usually a wait for the outdoor seating. The views and atmosphere is fantastic so I can see why it is so popular. Sometimes the service seemed slow but we didn't mind at all, we loved sitting out there and it was very busy. Despite how busy they were, our servers were always friendly and attentive to our food and drinks. The place is on the pricey side but it's a very nice occasion place or

A really fun lunch out on the water. We sat outside and had some really fun and tasty dishes. The steamers were great and a real treat, they aren’t on many menus in CT! The kimchi fries were really flavorful and a great dish to share. The tuna nachos were delicious too. Fun place for a group! The ice cream window was a great after dinner stop
