spicy green bean restaurant & catering

a 'go to' that is top notch- the challenge is to select something- anything- from thisgreatplace. sat at a 'chef's table' once and am a better person for it!!

everything was amazing!!! we had the sweet potato and panko encrusted chicken sandwich, the tomato basil bisque, and the spinach salad with grilled shrimp. this was an a+ lunch for agreatprice. can't say enough about it.

great food. have been going to spicy green bean for quite a while and have always had agreatexperience. the food is awesome and i love the quirky combinations that always seem to work. the ingredients are always fresh. i have had catering from them as well and the food has always been well received.

good grub!. this place has delicious food that is very fresh. the menu changes constantly and nothing sits in that kitchen. i thought from the name that it was a "vegetarian" place, but learned on my first visit that it has excellent meat and fish entrees. the chef has agreatimagination and her concoctions just seem to work perfectly. i just noticed that the menu is featuring an appetizer known as, "quido's provaletta". this is a specialty from argentina that involves a round of italian provalone cheese about half an inch thick that is roasted with italian seasonings. think of the very best part of a pizza and you have "provaletta"! it's a real treat - just like everything else on the menu. by the way, the wait staff here is well-trained, knowledgeable and the best that you will find in the greater hartford area - finally a place that gets it all right!. this place is the ecelectic winner that glastonbury has always been missing.

decadent. trying to write a review for the spicy green bean is like trying to find the words for my wedding vows! i absolutely am in love with this place and no words of mine can do it justice. i started off loving this place as a little lunch dive withgreatatmosphere and amazing menu choices! i frequented this place for the "tommy salami" , a genoa sandwich that was piled high with salami, provolone, pickle mayo, chimmichurri oil, roasted red peppers, and spicy green beans(my mouth waters while typing) . the sandwiches come with two sides that change daily and if you dont get yourself a side of their 3 potato salad or spanish rice salad once in your life you will have not fully lived! now, the bean is offering dinner service and unbelievably has impressed me even more! the waitstaff is friendly, efficient and top notch. one night we dined for dinner with my 7 year old and the server actually helped him pass a level on his handheld video game system. the dinner menu changes weekly, but some items not to miss are the fall off the bone glazed short ribs, summer rolls, crab cakes and the cowboy cut ribeye. i have yet to have a meal here that did not leave my longing for my next trip back. dont miss out on the dessert options, drop into the back and drool over key lime cupcakes or coconut ricotta cake, or even treat yourself with a toffee cookie. this place is a must and if you haven't been yet, it should be on your planner for next week!!!
