We tried the cheese plate with lovely bit of Chicory dressed perfectly, delicious raspberry compote, the Bread and Butter, oh that butter!! Mmm! Duck fat potatoes were very good, my husband had the Beet Salad and Lamb Ragu, I had the fresh pasta with sun dried tomatoes, scallions in a burre blanc. It was delicious (slightly salty to me) but I enjoyed it. For dessert we both enjoyed coffee and vanilla ice cream with maple syrup. This was the perfect choice for our anniversary dinner. It was an hour drive for us but I feel it was worth the trek.

I work at Day Kimball Hospital & We had our Christmas Party here for our family's we served last…read moreyear and apparently our team can't get enough of this property and the amazing farm to table meals prepared by chef Brian. The property is an idyllic historical farm & farmhouse situated on multiple acres on a picturesque rural piece of land that could definitely be the cover of a postcard! Everyone we encountered who is a part of Little Dipper Farm has been great! We even hosted one of our kids/family events here and it was one of the parent's absolute favorites! We made salsa and everything we utilized for the recipe was grown on this property and was literally picked moments before and as fresh as could be. Everyone really enjoyed the salsa & I brought some home to my son who literally ate the entire jar in one setting citing it as the "Best Salsa I've ever had"! So as I mentioned above, the food here is Farm to Table which means it's all grown here on site - but if it's not it's grown nearby at another farm or typically somewhere local to the area. I believe Sara is in charge of the vegetables and tending the garden and Brian is the mastermind Chef, a graduate of JWU- he is extremely talented and out of the various times I've eaten here (3-6x minimum now)- I have never eaten anything that wasn't delicious! Seriously- Brian could make the most boring and bland item- taste amazing! He truly has a gift & if you haven't been here I highly suggest you check it out! They do dinners I believe Thursday-Saturday 4-10pm! They also host events here from weddings to party's etc! The decor inside is a Vintage farmhouse style which, combines the warm and welcoming friendliness of the farmhouse with historic design and decor from eras in the past. The American farmhouse itself dates back as far as the early American colonies in the 1600s. The historical architectural post and beam elements and the setup of the barn definitely transports you back to another time period when things were much simpler, but with updated restrooms and fixtures- it has both modern amenities with that historical style/feel. Overall- if you have never been here, I would definitely recommend it! Or if you're interested in having an event here- they are really great and will accommodate a variety of budgets! Check it out! I would definitely rate 5+ stars- if I could!

This is a small eatery (I counted max 39 seats between tables and the bar) with difficult parking…read more I was able to get a spot right in front b because I went to lunch, but the parking lot has signs saying it is for employees of the wood shop next door, and no trespassing in the lot across the street, so I think street parking is the only option? Service is great, very attentive and friendly. The food is what earns this three stars. I tried a stuffie, German onion soup, a Farmhouse burger, and a key lime Mason jar. The stuffie was a little small, and most of the flavor was imparted by the ham and the squeeze of lemon. The German onion soup, I'm not sure why it was German except to not be French? Outside the name difference, the onions were way too large, and there was a total lack of flavor going on in the soup. The crock was very large too. The burger and fries looked pretty good, and I enjoyed the flavors here. The fries were rough hewn, so there was good crispness from all the edges. The toppings of the burger, and the bun, were also hearty. Unfortunately, my medium rare burger was more like raw meat with surface browning. I'm a big fan of rare steak, but ground beef needs a little more cooking. Also, the house made ketchup is really more of a marinara sauce. If I'd ended up eating more of my plate before they took it away to re-fire the burger, I would have asked to replace the ketchup. The key lime Mason jar was e everything you want to wrap up a meal. Great flavor, lightness, citrus. I did have to bring most of it home but, unlike the burger they brought back in a box, I'm excited to get back into the key lime. From an accessibility stand point, there is no ramp to get in nor handicap parking, so the evidently don't want your business. Once you're in, there are some seats you could get in, but if this place were full it would be difficult to navigate for anyone. The bathroom is a single room, but very spacious and nice. So, mixed bag for access. Your mileage may vary, but I'm not racing to return.

Impressive selection in the space Friendly, forthcoming,…read morehelpful staff Convenient location Some family recently moved to Danielson and I spotted this place on the commute to and from a few times and didn't stop in. After a little while, that family member brought some Arrogant Bastard Ale for me from Friendly Spirits and I thought I needed to give the place a try. I finally got (and took) my chance. Delighted I did. The store isn't very large, but they're prudent with what they stock. Wines were plentiful in what they deem their "Wine Country," sorted and signed helpfully. Beers are available cold or in their warm shelf segment for specialties. Liquor is in a few runs of aisles like any store. The staff was very forthcoming and eager to assist, which I appreciated, even as I was just getting the lay of the land. Prices were fair - they know what they're doing and charge accordingly. There were a few deals in the wine section, and bonus points for carrying several less-common beers in singles on the top shelf of their coolers at reasonable costs. I walked away with a Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin, Captain Lawrence Imperial IPA, Abita SOS Pilsner, and a Pike Naughty Nellie (all bombers), and a great first impression of Friendly Spirits. I'll be back as frequently as family commitments allow, definitely.

Golf Course Pub - Good Food…read more The restaurant is casual with a great location overlooking the golf course. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful and the food delicious and affordable. I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family. The house specialty is the fish sandwich. I believe it's made with grouper. I will say, absolutely delicious. For this sandwich alone, it's worth 4 stars. My only beef here is the service at the bar. The bartender is one of those bartender's that thinks he really good at his job, but when a customer (me) waits 10 minutes to order. Orders a beer and never gets it until I ask again while I'm waiting for my food. Then want a second and can't get this guy to serve me. The guy is cleaning dishes right in front of me, my glass is empty, and can't even ask if I would like another. So unfortunately I had to deduct a star for this. For a golf course pub style restaurant, it's one of the better ones I've been to because of the food. Thanks

The moment I set foot inside, I could tell this place was different from other brew hobby shops. First of all, this guy makes no mistake letting you know he knows how to craft a good brew. The walls are covered in ribbons from competitions that he won. I didn't even bother counting. There must be over 300 of them from all over the country. However, you would never know it from Paul's personality. He was gracious and rather humble considering the amount of success he has had. I explored his shop and just totally "geeked out" over the stuff he has. His prices are very reasonable and he is full of great advice. I don't live in the area but I would make the hour drive to Willimantic anytime I want to upgrade my equipment or get some great brewing advice. Make sure you call ahead because his hours are not always the best but this reason alone is not enough to justify giving this shop any less than 5 stars.
