    Outstanding food. I had planned this dinner months in advance and it did not disappoint! The only hang up was on the service & speed, but it did NOT ruin the experience as we had all night to enjoy it. It did take over 15 minutes before we were even given water, but the waitstaff acknowledged the shortcomings and apologized as it continued through the night. We had a newer waitress and having worked in the industry we both had no problem letting it slide and enjoying the night. The food was excellent. It’s a great spot. They have more experienced servers that do an excellent job upholding the level this restaurant deserves (we overheard). We also went at PEAK dinner time 6:45 reservation so I absolutely will give a lot of leeway there! All in all we had a great time, from start to finish the experience was about 2-1/2 hours so plan accordingly! Make it a night! It’s worth going!

    First time dining there and probably my favorite place to eat in Litchfield! I had scallops and my husband got the Halibut. Scallop dish was the best I have ever had!

    Excellent from start to finish. I really can't say enough in praise of this restaurant. The food was exquisite and the service was terrific. When the final bill came, I was actually pleasantly surprised and felt that we'd received great value for our dining dollars. My only critique is that I think they could do more to highlight their non-alcoholic cocktails. I had to ask the server whether they offer any because they did not appear on the menu. I ended up with one that was interesting and satisfying. So I would suggest that the restaurant consider developing and highlighting these options more prominently

    We were sat late for our 7pm reservation (7:20), which I thought was not great, especially since they have a pretty strict dining policy. Once sat, our server did also take a while to even come to the table. Once we finally ordered, our first course came fairly quickly but the entree took a really long time! They seemed really busy, but for a place that's that hard to even get a reservation at, I would appreciate more prompt seating and service. What's the point of a reservation if you're still having to wait 20 minutes standing at the bar?!?

    Food was outstanding. Menu had great variety and many new options since our last visit. Service was mediocre.
