First and Last Tavern-- Hartford area and now Guilford?

Anyone been to any of their locations? It just opened off exit 59 in Guilford and I hear it is in Hartford area too. Looks like maybe a nice casual family option?

TIA!

    In addition to the original in Hartford, I have been to the Middletown location. Very good food and service. Reasonably priced. Located right downtown near the movie theaters, it is a great place to eat before the movies.

      In Guilford it's a nice looking place - bread basket was very good (pannetone, seeded peasant loaf, good foccacia) however pizza was mediocre and salad was nothing special.

      Maybe I should have ordered something else. For pizza i'd rather go to Slice on Rt. 80.

        This is the web site with views of the place and a little history and the menu. Hope this helps. Earle (http://www.firstandlasttavern.com/ind...)

          I'm a big fan of their Hartford restaurant as are local Hartford friends of mine, but thought I've never been to the Avon outpost but my pals tell me to stay away -- that it's lousy and nothing like the original. In fact, I've been told the Avon owners simply licensed the restaurant name -- there's no connection other than that.

          Not sure what this means about the Guilford place, but there you have it.

            There is also one in Avon, CT and a bakery for First and Last in Hartford (near the restaraunt location). Yeah I think it's decent food...large menu. Paninis are good but I haven't tried too many things off of the menu.
            You should give it a shot and post a review!
