Waxy O'connor's - Plainville

We went for the first time and had an early dinner. We were immediately welcomed and set. The service was at a good pace to chat, and the food was delicious. I think they used to take negative reviews to heart and make improvements. We will definitely go back.

The layout and atmosphere of this place is very nice. Nice central bar with dispersed seating and some outdoor seating. When there is live music, it is a little bit loud for dining. The food is reasonable, but nothing special. The chicken curry tasted more like a gravy rather than a true curry and was disappointing.

Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. She took excellent care of us. Good variety of menu choices. Nachos are terrific! Outside dining is very comfortable. Music on the weekends.

Staff was great and very covid conscientious. Face masks, cleaning surfaces constantly. The patron's on the other hand; high risk and troublesome. If you got the vaccine, great for you, but you still need to wear your mask. Especially at this table. Sat adjacent to this bar table set for two, but was converted to 4 people. I witnessed a barrage of ppl interact with this table that were not part of the original 4 people. Sitting down, taking off their masks, complaining about the mask rule, ordering drinks, then departing from the table to bring their drinks elsewhere. And then you got this dude in the green shirt, who wasn't and evidently didnt have a mask ready to cover his face, but also bouncing between tables and interacing with people. Just because you may not believe in the virus, doesn't mean people should be at risk due to your naive standpoint. It isn't hard to wear your mask, do your job as patron's and prevent your favorite bar from closing down again.

Great place! This was my first visit, but I will definitely return. I took away one star because the craft beer selection was lacking, but the food and service were excellent. The photo I uploaded shows the Rindstroganoff, and the beer is Lunch from Maine Brewing Company.
