Fun retro spot with old movies playing. The grab-and-go pastry counter is a smart setup for a quick coffee.

Been coming here for years. The staff always remember my name, makes it feel like home.

Grilled octopus was the standout. It had a nice char, tender inside, and a bright lemon note. Cooked just right. That&#39;s the kind of dish that keeps me coming back.

The patio was a great spot for our big group dinner. They set up long tables family-style, and it felt really relaxed even with 50 of us. The string lights and greenery made it a nice, easygoing evening.

The jambalaya was really good, and the service was quick even though it was packed.

Stopped by for a quick bite. The stone walls and decor make it feel really cozy inside. Just a chill spot to grab some food and unwind for a bit.

The pancakes are huge, like the size of the plate. Definitely got my money&#39;s worth. Had to take half of it home.

Been coming here for years. The homemade bread is always fresh, and they have some interesting ice cream flavors. The staff is friendly, makes it a nice spot. It can get a bit busy on weekends, but that&#39;s to be expected.

Just a heads up, they only take cash. The picnic tables outside are nice though&mdash;they wipe them down right after people leave, so it always feels clean when you sit down.

Been coming here for years. The lakeside view is still the best part, especially at sunset. Food&#39;s solid, though the steak was a touch overdone last time. Still a go-to spot.

Patty&#39;s feels like a hometown diner, super cozy. The staff are just friendly, no fuss. Coffee&#39;s always hot, which I appreciate on a random Tuesday. It&#39;s a warm spot, literally and vibe-wise.

First time here for my wife&#39;s BDay/Father&#39;s Day, I ordered Steak au poivre which was undercooked and lacked any peppercorns- the au poivre part mind you! Service was extremely slow for us and several other tables spoke of that as well. Prices were Litchfield - very expensive. Several friends had recommended the Grille previously but have since stopped going there due to meagre quality and quantity issues. I have 10 years of high end a la carte food service in both front/back of the house and do not recommend dining here.

I was really impressed by their strawberry Bellini mocktail. It had that perfect balance of sweet and tart, and it paired surprisingly well with the rich pasta I ordered. A great option when you&#39;re not drinking but still want something special with your meal.

The new chef&#39;s Food Network background shows. The meatballs and garlic bread were a great start. I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted, especially in the tomato sauce. You could tell it was made that day.

Perfect spot for a quick lunch. The pizza crust is super crispy, just how I like it. Got my slice and a drink in under 5 minutes. The small shop has some chill jazz playing, which is a nice bonus. Exactly what I need on a busy day.

Love the old-school vibe here, feels like stepping back in time. The service is always friendly and efficient, which makes for a really relaxed meal.

Spacious inside and out, and they&rsquo;ve got a big private lot. That alone makes it a solid pick when you just don&rsquo;t want to hunt for parking.

Love coming here with friends! The vibe is perfect for catching up, even if you&#39;re not ordering drinks. The music&#39;s just right for conversation. Food&#39;s always on point. My only note is that the tables are a bit close together, so it can feel a little crowded when it&#39;s busy.

The steak sandwich here is simple but so satisfying. I like how the space feels open and airy, with those big windows letting in all the light. It&#39;s a nice spot to just sit and enjoy a meal without feeling rushed.

Cozy stone walls and a fireplace set the mood. We had a nice bottle of Malbec that went perfectly with the steak. A solid spot to unwind after a long day.

The salmon was really fresh, and they had these pretty fresh flowers on the tables. It was a nice, bright space for our group.

The pizza here is pretty good. The crust is nice and crisp, and I liked the fresh crumbled sausage. It was a bit on the pricey side, but it&#39;s a solid choice for a casual meal.

Huge portions. My plate was still steaming when it arrived. Flavor was solid. Couldn&#39;t finish it all.

Been coming here for years. The portions are always generous, never feel like you&#39;re getting shortchanged.

The private event space upstairs was perfect for our group. Marissa helped with everything, made it so easy.

The Chicken Diabla Chimichanga was fantastic. The chicken was juicy, the sauce had a nice smoky heat. Best margarita I&#39;ve had in Connecticut, hands down. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet.
