It's def one of our mother daughter special spots. I'm on a mission to try everything on the menu at least once and I was told the Crispy Chicken cutlet was a crowd favorite and it's safe to say I agree and I could not stop talking about it last night. It's made with two chicken cutlets crisp to perfection giving you that nice crunch with each bite. Inside you've got flavors of peperonata, fresh mozz, smeared pesto aioli , arugula on a thick ciabatta roll. It's a mix of comfort and quality all in one. I really enjoyed the mix of all the vibrant flavors here. Pair it with their sweet potato fries and you got yourself a real deal of a meal! My mom got the Handformed burger cooked medium on a brioche bun . It consists half-pound patty, bacon, white cheddar, lettuce, pepper mayo, She said it was one of the best burgers she's had in a long time and she's a harsh critic so that says a lot. She also enjoys the sweet potatoe fries here as well . Ps every Wednesday is Wine night which is 1/2 price bottle of any wine of your choosing . We showed up not knowing that and we may just make it a Wednesday tradition "Wine down Wednesday" :) Our server Lauren was excellent , it was a packed house and you can def see they have quite a few regulars myself included. It makes you feel like it's the friendly neighborhood restaurant!

My husband and I met our adult children there last night for dinner…read more The dining room was toasty warm with a crackling fire in the fireplace. The tavern was built in 1760 and lots of original features remain. But the food is what I'm really here to write about. The menu is Pub Style but brought up a notch. Son #1 had a meatloaf melt that he enjoyed. Both my husband and our second born son had the Mac and cheese. Each added some extra toppings and ate every bite. I had that nights special, shrimp risotto. I was quite tasty, with the addition of a few shakes of salt. Our server was attentive and pleasant. It was a nice night out. I'll be back.

We used to like Marlborough Tavern, but our recent take out experience was dismal. The food was…read moreready on time, but was really bad quality. The Mac and cheese was the absolute worst, like prison food in a black take out container, not seasoned or flavored, clearly not baked, no breadcrumbs or bubbly cheese top like they show in photos. Why not make it in a metal container, so that you can bake it, and then put a lid on? The pierogies were overcooked and hard and had a slightly rancid flavor like the oil was bad. The meatloaf sandwich had one mushy slice of meatloaf that didn't fill the bread, with cheese, but the caramelized onions were missing. No condiments, but I guess the menu did not specify there would be any so that part was my miss. It would be nice with a garlic aioli! I had to eat it with ketchup at home. Oh, and their ketchup? Gross too! Luckily, I had my own Heinz ketchup at home. The bread it was on was very good and well grilled. Maybe next time I'd see if I could just order some grilled bread and cut my losses. I would be hesitant to go back. Also, very oddly, the majority of the photos posted to yelp in the last year are of items that are NOT on the menu!! I would have loved a pasta dish with crispy chicken, or some ravioli, or penne à la vodka, or a flatbread, or some tacos...but alas, none of those are actually on their menu. Very weird.

I ordered a hotdog special (w/ fries and cole slaw) & my friend ordered a salad plate with NO olives (allergy). I saw the waitress write down "NO OLIVES" on the order. Our order was placed at 11:45am. At 12:15, I got up to find a staff member to ask if someone could check on our order. (Four customers had come in after us and were served/eating.) I was assured by a tall male that he saw the food "being made" and it would be right out. I seated myself and waited an additional 13 minutes for our food. Our plates were delivered by the same tall male. The salad plate had OLIVES on it and the hotdog was lukewarm with room-temperature/cold fries. We pointed out the OLIVES and the male asked, "Do you want me to take it back?" (UMMMM - YES - CROSS CONTAMINATION!) The waitresses came over and were EXTREMELY APOLOGETIC and didn't know what else to say. Eventually, a replacement salad was delivered. It should not take 45+ minutes to get a simple hotdog "special". The other meal didn't even require cooking - it was mounds of tuna, macaroni and chicken salad on pita bread. Neither one of us finished our meals because at that point, we had lost our appetites. WHAT a WASTE of our time, money and drive to Marlborough from Hartford. We will not be returning! (yes, we tipped the waitress well because it was not her fault!)

The store is pretty large with an oversized bakery display case showing off their classic bakery goods - think gorgeous cakes, pastries, and cookies. And to make your visit even more worthwhile is a restaurant with a sweet breakfast and lunch menu. We visited yesterday and had a very nice breakfast in their large dining room. There is plenty of seating and plenty of parking too. I had a Veggie Breakfast Burrito ($10.50) with sauteed onions, peppers, spinach, grilled portobello mushrooms, American cheese, and diced tomatoes on a spinach tortilla, It was excellent and the size of that burrito made it a decent value for the price. My wife had a $7.49 Ham, Egg & Cheese breakfast sandwich with an additional $1 bagel surcharge. It was a big bagel, and as you can see from our photo, there were three big ham slices included. Very good coffees were $3.59 each. On the way out, those gorgeous pastries in the showcase whispered sweet nothings in my ear, and helpless to resist, we ordered an Apple Pocket ($2.99) and a Chocolate Croissant ($3.25). How reasonable are those prices? We also saw that Marlborough has a refrigerated case with Grab and Go meals and stuffed breads. They are open from 6AM - 6PM on weekdays and 6AM - 3PM on weekends. We are now fans.

Even though the café was very busy, the ordering line moved quickly, and they brought our drinks and food right to our table--a really nice touch. We also stopped by the bakery. Even later in the morning, there was still a great selection of baked goods. We brought home strawberry lemonade muffins to enjoy tomorrow, and I can't wait to try them. The general store was filled with adorable locally made products, along with a nice selection of take-and-bake meals that we'll definitely be coming back for. The entire property is thoughtfully designed with charming little seating areas scattered throughout. It's the kind of place where you want to slow down, relax, and spend a while exploring. One tip: the front parking lots are small, but there's a much larger parking area in the back. This is definitely a new favorite for us, and we'll be back again soon!

On my most recent visit, I got a gluten free roll which was about a small hamburger size, and when your order online from a picnic table and are texted when it's ready, the food is all bagged up to go (in fairness, they don't know your online order is being made from the property) and the lobster is in it's own little cup, so that your bread isn't soggy by the time you open it to eat it. It's not a big portion, but I mean I don't remember the last time I got a lobster roll that was as big as I wished it was, unless it was a spot that offered regular or jumbo. The sweet potato fries are great and would help fill you up if you got it with the roll, but since i knew I'd be ordering again for ice cream later, I kept it light and opted for a free side of cucumbers (fries and onion rings are an up-charge, think there are more too I just can't recall what they are now). They are also BYOB, and everything we've tried has been good! I'll be back and love spending and afternoon here! The ice cream is Gifford's, not home made, in case you were wondering. Check them out! I also really enjoyed the rope swing in the past, though forgot to even look and see if it was still there last weekend.

Only about a half-hour away from me is Jessica's Garden. Here's why my wife and I love coming here... Atmosphere/Appearance: Kind of out in the sticks is this gem, but many benefits of that are that there's private parking and plenty of it. Up the hill from where you park is where you go to order your food. You walk up to the counter to check out the menu or you can order from your phone. Hint, if you check-in on Yelp you may get a coupon to use online! Once you order you won't really be notified so just go to the other window around the corner from where you ordered to pick up your food. There's plenty of picnic table style seating and so much property to explore. There's woods back to check out and this place is just so peaceful. It's also... BYOB. That's what's most important. Lol, especially with a liquor store right up the street. Service: There really isn't any since you go order your own food then go pick it right back up. Food: It's a pretty simple menu here. The lobster roll is what you want. Yes, it can be pricy, but lobster just is. However, it's amazing. The lobster is soft, tender, succulent and of course, buttery. You do have to assemble the roll yourself since everything here is sold as a to-go order. It kinda makes sense. I've also had some wings and onion rings here. They're okay, nothing to write home about, but good enough for me to get each time I visit. Value: Moderate. Easily affordable, nothing crazy and the fact that it's B.Y.O.B. makes it WAY better! Lol. In conclusion, Jessica's Garden is my duck-off spot where I go if I wanna eat outdoors, am craving a lobster roll and I just wanna chill. Check this place out guys and continue to support these local businesses!
