ABOUT

ON20 RESTAURANT

Since 1983, the restaurant on the 20th floor of One State Street has had a singular mission: to host its guests in the finest dining establishment possible. Founded and maintained by The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection & Insurance Company, ON20 continues the tradition today.

Under the guidance of Hartford native Executive Chef Jesse Powers, the culinary team prides itself for its “innovative and progressive” cuisine with unobtrusive and unencumbered service. ON20 was voted one of the Top Ten restaurants for service in the country by OpenTable diners and was named one of the top scenic view restaurants in the country.
