Thank You Hartford!

This year’s SOS Taste of the Nation Hartford raised over $60,000.00!!
Thank you to everyone that helped out this year. All the incredible restaurants, volunteers, guests, and wine vendors made this year’s event the best one in 21 years. Of all the cities that participated throughout America, we were the only one that showed an increase in revenue over the last 3 years. And in this economy – that’s saying a lot. All monies raised went to three worthwhile charities; Food Share, Hartford Food System, and End Hunger CT.

We have a great community here. Thanks again for your warm and much needed generosity.
Billy Grant

We Are Under Construction!

No. Not that type of construction. We are still open for business. It’s our menu that is under construction. Coming soon to Grants and Bricco will be exciting new menus. We’re pretty fired up.

And we’ve turned our BG catering menu up a notch too!

“thank you for doing this”

It seemed like every other person in line said “thank you for doing this” to all of us at Grants. It was very moving – a simple thing like hot chili on a very cold day, but not just any day – one of America’s greatest days. It was creating a bond with our community, something more restaurants should occasionally do.
