Frommer's Review
Hartford's prime-time power epicenter has a crowd that looks essentially interchangeable with the one that frequents its sister restaurant, Trumbull Kitchen , albeit with a few more suits at midday and a lot of air-kissing at night. The main room has banquettes arrayed behind expanses of glass, with a flashy mural on the back wall. Diners are indulged with hefty chophouse favorites -- "Cowboy Cut" beef rib chop with foie gras butter, perhaps -- and flightier efforts, such as Moroccan spiced chicken with cinnamon and cranberry couscous. Over two dozen wines are available by the glass.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
