Bottom Line: A wonderful alternative addition to the usual…read more"meat, potatoes, & gravy" dining found in Litchfield. Menu is imaginative, if rather limited, and very well executed. On our visit, staff was in top form & delightful. Top Line: I hit up the Half Bushel Brewing crew for lunch with a friend one day. Interior is a delightful mix of rustic and traditional decor left from The Glory Days of this building. Seating was comfortable enough and music was low enough not to inhibit conversation. I had a glass of their American Stout. It was roasty toasty on the flavor front so appropriately flavored. The body however was really super light for a stout. It lacked the creamy mouth feel that I look for in stouts. There were also some bitter'ish notes in the flavor profile that rang more toward the IPA side of life, and away from the chocolate & coffee notes commonly found. So the beer was about a three-star affair. If they have their coffee stout on hand next time I stop in, I'll certainly be giving that a try. Our barkeep Stephanie on the other hand was a 10 star, gold standard, bright, energetic, enthusiastic, sparkling personality who lit up the whole place!! An absolutely delightful addition to our dawdling lunch. I had chicken pesto panini sandwich. Taste was diverse & complex. Crunchy outer texture of toasted bread contrasted nicely with sumptuous fillings. Easy candidate for repeat ordering. I sampled the naan & pesto that was beautifully presented. Naan was chewy soft pillowy bites. Pesto had the basil-garlic dance going on, so it was delightful too. If you're in the Litchfield area, stop in and spend some pleasant time with the Half Bushel Brewing crew.

All the beers were refreshing and delicious. Given he whole experience, I will definitely stop in if I'm ever up in the area again. Thanks Third Street!

A friend and I took The Abundant Kitchen's macaron cooking class & had a great experience. AK's…read moreowner provided a prep demo to go over the recipe & provided many do's and do not's she had either learned by experience, or from local macaron business owners in the twin cities. The demo was very helpful before we broke in to groups and tried it out for ourselves. Due to this class' popularity - the group sizes were a bit larger (we had 5). Although we all found tasks to divvy up, we did feel bad that most didn't get to really try out all the steps of making this high-maintenance cookie to really get hands-on experience. Becki, our instructor & AK owner, was very interactive and helpful throughout the whole class. She provided good tips and tricks & created a fun environment, encouraging & fostering great group interaction. During the baking time we took a brief "shopping break" to explore the store. Becki has so many practical, high-quality cooking items it is a great store. You could find absolutely anything you could possibly need in your kitchen! Back to class, Becki had prepped the buttercream for us to fill the cookies. She went over different combinations we could try with jelly fillings & then we got to try our hand at filling. We only wished we had remembered to ask a few questions about making the buttercream, since we didn't get to mix this up during the baking phase & gain hands-on experience. We are always so impressed with the variety of classes Becki offers, her passion for cooking, & we loved the great environment she fostered during the class. The members of the class were from all over the metro, proving it really is worth "the drive" to Buffalo if this is not a close location for you. AK's Facebook page and website are updated frequently to keep you in-the-know on all upcoming events. Time flies by during class! But you leave with a good experience, tactical skills, a recipe card, and for this class we each took home ~10 macarons. Bon appetit!

The lobby area is welcoming and fits the woodsy/cabin theme with some cute deor. Our room was spotless and so cute. It was a fishing theme and felt so cozy. It was quiet overnight. The extra little bar sink outside the bathroom is a thoughtful addition (as is the mirror.) Our room looked out to the back with the river in sight. Lots of early morning fisherman parked in the lot but we didn't hear a thing. The bathroom was a good size and sparkling clean. Cute shower curtain with a dock/lake on it! Breakfast was serve yourself and they had a good assortment of bagels/english muffins/cereal/oatmeal/waffles. Coffee, tea, hot cocoa and milk (& maybe juice? I'm not a juice drinker). There is a pool as well as a conference center here too. They had a fireplace in the lobby plus some seating and games/books. It would be a good spot for sit if you wanted to be out of the room We'll be back to this little gem!

That's what I expected here. But no. This treasure of a roadside inn is clean and comfortable, with an open, welcoming lobby and sitting/dining area, and each room is designed with a unique theme (we stayed in the "Music Notes" room flanked by other rooms such as "Lighthouse," "The Lodge," and "Ooh, La, La Paris.") Our music-themed room was adorned with a drum pendant light, guitars, artwork, etc., which inspired us to really look at and appreciate this space. And you know how hotels that care crisply fold the edge of the toilet paper roll? This place (in a first for me) folds edges into a rose. How cute is that? Pre-dogs, we used to stay at fine hotels, but The Four Seasons can't match this place for thoughtfulness and detail, dollar for dollar. One final note to travelers with dogs: green spaces along the River and a small neighboring park (Lions) offer a welcomed end-of-a-long drive romp for the dogs.
