West Hartford Eateries Make CT Magazine's 'Best Of' List

Connecticut Magazine's 'Best Restaurants 2013: Experts' Picks' have just been announced, and West Hartford is well-represented in many categories.

The February issue of Connecticut Magazine includes a list of the state's "best" restaurants in a variety of categories – rated not by just average diners but by 89 "dining-out experts."

Those experts, who included reviewers, food writers, editors, cookbook authors, bloggers, and others, chose their favorite restaurants in 25 different categories.

While West Hartford missed out on "Best Overall" honors, many of the town's favorites topped other categories.
