They also have a roadside egg stand in the summer. They are open by appointment and event only; check their website for details. There is a beautiful barn which could be rented for special events. The owners Amy and Steve were super nice and helpful. My family and I went on Black Friday to purchase a pre-cut tree for $80. Currently, their trees are just babies and growing. They had two types of pre-cut trees to choose from; there were a few to choose from but we found the perfect tree! They had a vendor onsite making spiked hot chocolate, espresso martini, and various others. The interior of the barn was cozy with plenty of seating. There were plenty of items you can purchase in there, such as soap, honey, ornaments, etc. We got to pet the animals on the farm right outside, my children loved it. They also hosts events such as candle and ornament making, to name a couple. Overall, a lovely place to visit for events, purchase a Christmas tree, and even pet some farm animals!

We visited the Lost Fox Inn during the annual Litchfield Restaurant Week and it was a terrific…read morechoice! When you walk through the entrance, you walk under a sign Tavern 1745. That caught my attention. I'm a great lover of historic buildings. This one has enjoyed several different lives, but the newest iteration opened in 2024. The owners have paid close attention to many details that show they value the history of the building - from the furniture in the multiple small dining rooms to the reproduction wallpaper on the walls. I loved the use of large candles in the fireplaces to replicate the light of a fire. Our meals were from the Prix Fixe Menu for $50 per person. I was delighted to see later that Lost Fox Inn advertises a Prix Fixe Menu on Thursdays for $60 per person. I enjoyed the Corn Chowder soup appetizer, which was different from any chowder I've ever eaten but very flavorful. My main course was Orecchiette, a delightful maitake and shiitake mushroom pasta dish that is flavored with lemon, pecorino Romano, rosemary, oregano and topped with breadcrumbs. Dessert was a chocolate mousse topped with pickled blackberry and mint. Really delicious. We booked an early dinner and were delighted to find that we were the only ones seated in our small dining room. As the hour progressed, more and more people filled the room, and interestingly each group took advantage of the restaurant week menu (many of the items are on the regular dinner menu). The wait staff was very attentive, checking in and answering questions about the menu items. I look forward to a return visit because the food was really outstanding.

Hogan's Cider Mill is fall haven, in New England. My friend was visiting from the south last week,…read morewhat a perfect place to take her for a bit of a fall preview, if you will. Granted, it is a bit early for the true season of fall, too early for the boots, too early for the flannels, and too early for the leggings. Sometimes you've got to take what you can get. Hogan's Cider Mill is located on freshly cut, beautiful green grass and plenty of it, in the small, rural town of Burlington, Connecticut. If you had no idea Connecticut had a town called Burlington, well Hogan's will be your intro to it. What an absolutely adorable place and so picturesque! The truck with every imaginable sized pumpkin is so cute! Inside you'll find a little cottage store with all sorts of goodies, from local snacks, to candles, wine, hoodies, all of it. You may get your warm apple cider donut here. Upstairs is where you may get your hard apple cider, or just apple cider. There are so many nooks and crannies that are also decorated for fall, where you may enjoy your cider of choice. We brought ours outside. The donut was warm, fresh, soft and so tasty! The cider was cold and apple cidery with a bit of spike. Hogan's Cider Mill is a must visit for anyone. Please enjoy the beautiful vibes, the scenery, the atmosphere and of course the cider and the donuts.

My time at Hogan's was honestly just ok. I had such high expectations from everything you see…read moreonline, but the whole experience just felt lackluster. I will start by saying the donuts ARE amazing! but that is about it. The cider and the slushies were pretty generic, and even with the "Summerween" theme, I just was expecting more. There weren't any other real food options, even popcorn or something would have been cool. The service was slow for such a well known and busy place, and the staff all moved like it was their first day. The mini golf was essentially 18 renditions of the same hole with no theme, excitement or variation. Thankfully we went on Friday when it's free which is a nice thing they do. It felt like a CT must do, but I don't think I need to go back.

This is a review of the Elks BPO as a party venue, NOT a wedding. I was here for a simple but…read morepleasant dinner. There is parking in the back, and noted to be for Elks only. It holds maybe 20 cars. There is street parking, but because this is Torrington, there are meters. Read them to figure out whether you need to pay. The entrance is on the side of the building. There's a door leading down that seems to be for Elks to kick back and relax (it promises keno). The second entrance goes into the event space. It's very red, plush, and definitely an older feel. The attention to detail is impressive though, elks are everywhere from doorknobs to overhead lighting. The bridal restroom was open, and has an area for lounging separate from the facilities themselves. In the main event space, there is a small dance floor next to the bar. The bar has all the main hits in the liquor world, as well as a soda dispenser. Separated by a row of columns is the dining area, which easily holds 10+ tables of 8 people (but see the Elks for their actual capacity offerings. The front of the building is well maintained and must take lovely pictures. I'm still trying to find a way to sneak upstairs, which involves a beautiful red winding staircase. The front is also across from Coe Park, which can get busy traffic wise.

ORIGIN: Clubhouse Provisions opened in Fall 2022 as part of…read morean effort to revamp visitors' experience. (Thanks to Bill S., Litchfield-based CT Yelp Elite, for bringing the restaurant to mind through his informative review.) The revitalization effort was initiated by a couple -- Jill Farrarotti and Jonathan Philips. Farrarotti's family owned the site since 1955 and Philips has professional food service experience. LOCATION: The restaurant is located at the edge of Stonybrook Golf -- a nine hole public golf course set on a picturesque rural road. CONCEPT: Clubhouse Provisions serves modern American and Asian-inspired dishes in a public clubhouse setting. ATMOSPHERE: The clubhouse is modern and bright, with wraparound glass windows overlooking the golf course, cathedral ceiling, and light-colored painted wood paneled walls. SERVICE: Service is informative and friendly. FOOD: The Crispy Thai Calamari ($20) is worth a visit in itself, and is available during brunch (Sunday), lunch, and dinner service. There is a mix of baby spinach, thinly breaded, crispy Calamari, and chunks of mango and grapefruit veiled by an Asian dressing. It shares top place for best iteration of fried calamari I've experienced (the other is Rhode Island style at a RI restaurant). Pork Belly Bites ($21) makes for a good small plate to share when looking to enjoy a drink and a bite on the porch or at the bar. The Avocado Toast ($25), a popular brunch item prior to 2025 season, has been modified and in my mind has an overemphasis on vinegar flavor, delivered through balsamic drizzle and mound of pickled onions. TIPS: The restaurant is only open seasonally due to its relationship with golf course. The absence of sound-absorbing ceiling material makes the dining experience uncomfortably noisy when the dining room is full. The space is available for hosting events.

Chef Jon is back, and his opening menu for Litchfield Restaurant Week is an excellent one, fully supported by the kitchen which is blending in some newcomers with its experienced staff. We like the wait staff we encountered, too: Jonelle and Abby, super friendly as always, and quick to respond. The early menu is limited but tasty: the fried chicken breast sandwich is back and as yummy as could be hoped. We enjoyed the salmon poke bowl (a little more acidity needed) and the splendid calamari. The deserts we sampled, cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake, were simply delicious. We are so happy to welcome Clubhouse Provisions back and look forward to many more visits and an update on the full menu later this year.

Can't miss. Just read the menu carefully. There's some interesting ingredients in typically classic recipes. For instance, there's truffle in the nachos. If that's not your thing (like it's not mine) don't make the mistake I did is lead with my love for nachos and huger and not read the fine print.
