A hidden Gem We went…read moreto The Store in Torrington, CT and LOVED it! When we pulled up, Roger (the owner) greeted us outside and directed us where to park. For a second, I honestly thought he was just a friendly guy drinking a beer in the lot, being helpful. Nope he's the owner, and yes, he sets the tone immediately. Inside, the bar was big, comfy, and had that "you're one of us now" vibe. The atmosphere? Awesome. The food? Even better. And the people? REAL. Refreshingly real. Amy was our waitress and we absolutely adored her. My husband is a wise-ass (he thinks it's charming), and she gave it right back to him without missing a beat. My kind of woman. We started with the shrimp cocktail--delish. Caesar salad--yummy. But the star of the night? The prime rib, sitting proudly over garlic mashed potatoes. I still think about it. Honestly, I may have dreams about it. We live in Westport where restaurants are gorgeous... and often crazy expensive and just a tad snotty. The Store felt like we were dining with friends we actually liked. We even got to meet Roger's wife, Dena, who is an absolute gem. She told us how the restaurant got its name a regular at her old place would always tell his wife he was "heading to the store" when he was really heading to the bar. Iconic. I love her already. Of course, I bought a sweatshirt. (I'm a dirty martini girl; I needed merch.) We were headed to the Warner to see a comedian, but honestly, dinner was the warm-up act and it hit just as hard. It's about an hour from Westport--but worth every mile. We're already planning our next ride up to Torrington. This place is a blast!

There were some surprise grapes that gave the sandwich some appreciated sweetness. Only note is that it did take some time to get our food and drinks but there was a lot of traction during our visit and what looked to be one person manning the register/making drinks and someone else in the back on the food. Some of us tried their Chai Latte-all agreed that it was quite milky and needed some sugar so there's that. I had the melon cucumber drink, it was good-I think would be lovely in summer weather but not as cucumbery as I would have hoped! Overall would recommend!

The bar seats about 10, and they have about 10 high tops. There are several tv's, and it appears that this place would be great for watching sports. They have 8 beers on tap. It appears to be a local crowd. I had a grilled cheese, bacon and tomato on rye, served with chips and a pickle for $7.99. It was excellent. The wife had the baked potato skins which were true potato skins unlike what most places are passing off as "skins". They were also very good. We'd definitely come again!

Not in anyway impressed. I used to come here often for a quick bite and drink for lunch. I'm…read moreanosmic but the food is basic enough, mostly bar food and bites. I have been told when you eat here you end up smelling a little like the kitchen due to lack of ventilation. What made me stop going? One of their bartenders berated me walking because of my Facebook political opinion, the second time it's happened, and the owners refused to remediate. I did not in anyway initiate and they confirmed they saw it on the camera. In essence, it feels unsafe to be here. Below is a bit of an example of their later night crowd and I'd encourage all to be careful.

Drink seemed mostly soda, but one of the people I sat with was extremely happy with their dirty martini. I tend to be a nacho snob and was not impressed with those. The cheese wasn't even completely melted and it looks like I was served the bottom of the bag because 80% of the chips were broken pieces. The heirloom tower was very good. Everything was fresh and the tomatoes crisp. The place itself is ok. There are two rooms and the room with the bar and entertainment was extremely stuffy and warm, the other room felt like Antarctica. Bathrooms were clean with 3 stalls, although one was out of order. Overall I'd give this place 3-1/2 stars, but with that not being an option I opted for 3.

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.
