    This is a beautifully appointed restaurant within an elegant boutique hotel. The building itself is…read moreactually a historic landmark being the former Connecticut State Superior Court at Litchfield (circa 1888) which is probably how the restaurant got its name. The dinner menu was atypical, featuring an eclectic fusion of dishes executed with lots of creative flair. Flavor, quality and freshness of ingredients were top notch. Our starter, Garlic Maple Whiskey Chicken Bites, came accompanied with grilled shishito peppers. Perfect for sharing and so lovely paired with a glass of prosecco. Next, we sampled Bouillabaisse and Miso Roasted Black Cod in dashi broth. Seafood for both mains were super fresh. The Bouillabaisse broth was remarkably flavorful, the hint of saffron ever present but not overwhelming. How nice to have the red pepper rouille and slices of bread (customary in France) served alongside for the authentic experience. Miso Roasted Black Cod was tasty, succulent and fork tender. Beautifully arranged with mushrooms and Brussels sprouts surrounding the fish, plus a delectable piece of polenta cake tucked underneath. Dashi broth was poured onto dish tableside, creating a warm umami rich dish that was not only delicious but also extremely satisfying. On to desserts....The Chocolate Tarte with sea salt, nuts and berry coulis, a picture of understated elegance, was incredibly sublime. The Warm Apple Tartlet à la Mode with vanilla ice cream was good too. Would have preferred a tad less cinnamon though. All things considered, this was an exemplary meal. Wait staff was friendly and helpful. Hope to return again soon.

Hmmm. She did bring a complimentary bottle of wine as we continued to wait. I'd ordered a lobster stuffed bass. I'm not too picky, but fish was rubbery, there was only a lobster broth, no lobster (most expensive item on the menu) and the other dinners were - satisfactory, nothing more. I did write the Abner to let them know, only so they could be aware. No response was made. Will we go back? Perhaps for a drink, not for dinner. There are other excellent options in Litchfield. Disappointed? 100%

This is not a super upscale place, but you will still find it comfortable, easy to navigate the food selections, and the service is always on point and quick. They have a large spread of food items, from your usual General Tso's and lo mein, to braised pork, to chicken wings and French fries for the kiddos. There is a large spread of meat and veggie options for everyone, and they serve slightly different items during their dinner hours. Price right now after tax for lunch hours (until 3pm) is $13.90, which for an all you can eat place is absolutely insane. I encourage everyone to try a little piece of each option you want, because you can always go back for more at any time! There's a cold octopus dish that is my personal favorite and if I could ever learn the recipe I'd eat it non stop, but genuinely, this is a nice chill place with average to really good food quality, and there's so many things to pick from that no one will be left without options. I highly recommend this place, and even after moving cross country for years I always come back here and will continue to do so each time.
