Brings you back in time, The menu has various unique Choices and a great sunday Brunch. THE staff was friendly and made you feel at home.. I chose the Brunch special, French Onion Frittata, with a micro side salad. IT was just ok.. I was hoping for more of a flavorful frittata,,it was lacking that wow factor.. My husband ordered the Truffle Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and A side of Sea Salt Fries, which were the best as well as his chicken sandwich although there was a few dried out and tough bites.. We will always stop in here for the coziness and explore new flavors

Community Table was a fantastic find and easily one of the best meals we've had in the area…read more We started with a couple of excellent cocktails before sharing every course. The smoked trout dip was outstanding, especially paired with the incredible house-made seeded crackers. The spring pea soup was fresh, vibrant, and absolutely delicious. For our mains, we shared the duck breast, which was cooked perfectly and served with an exceptional beet purée. We also ordered the trumpet mushrooms, which turned out to be the ideal complement to the duck. To finish, we shared the orange upside-down cake, a light, flavorful dessert that was the perfect ending to a memorable meal. The experience was made even better by Hannah, who provided warm, attentive service with a wonderful disposition that made us feel genuinely welcome. Beautifully prepared food, thoughtful flavor combinations, and impeccable execution throughout. We'll definitely be back.

We have celebrated special occasions at Community Table for many years and have always enjoyed our…read moreexperiences there, which makes this review disappointing to write. Our party of four spent over $800 celebrating my mother's birthday. A few hours after the meal, my brother became seriously ill, and because I had also sampled his chicken dish and later experienced nausea myself, we were concerned the illness may have been related to the meal. When we contacted the restaurant to share our concerns, the conversations with management were disappointing. Joanne spoke separately with several members of our family and asked whether my brother had gone to the hospital, undergone testing, or had proof of illness. When I asked whether the restaurant maintained food safety documentation, I felt the question was viewed as accusatory rather than as part of a reasonable concern following our visit. Overall, the interaction lacked the empathy and reassurance we had hoped for. No refund, credit, or acknowledgment was offered. As longtime customers who have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, and milestones here over the years, the response was surprising. Beyond the health concern, the overall dining experience felt noticeably less positive than in past visits. The bread exterior was very hard, and we noticed other nearby tables eating only the soft interior. The vegetables served with the scallops were tough, the pasta was dry, and most of the dishes (except for the pea soup) lacked flavor. The deserts were lackluster, though the goat cheese cheesecake was delicious. The cheese board appetizer was presented without explanation of the cheeses or accompaniments. Crumbs were not cleared between courses. While our server was friendly, we were repeatedly asked whether we had finished dessert, which made the evening feel somewhat rushed during a birthday celebration. The server also spent time discussing personal matters during service, which distracted from the dining experience. We had to find someone to get our coats otherwise we would've walked out without them. The ambiance at Community Table remains beautiful, which makes the experience especially unfortunate after so many positive visits over the years. Unfortunately, after this experience, our family will likely celebrate future special occasions at other restaurants in Litchfield County that we feel provide a stronger overall dining experience.

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.

This Wednesday there was karaoke. The vibe was pretty energetic. There seems to be some regulars that come here, it's not just a hotel restaurant/bar. It is located inside the Litchfield Inn. I ordered the petite prime NY strip steak special with whipped potatoes and veggies. I felt like this was a good priced and delicious meal, although slightly over cooked. I also tried the caramel apple cocktail. This was pretty sweet and heavy on the caramel flavor, I would have enjoyed a more apple cider forward drink I think, but not bad at all. I think the formatting of the menu could use some work, but minor detail. I will say there wasn't exactly a ton of social distancing happening here, but I think it just depends on where you choose to sit.

Unfortunately, the evening became a three-hour waiting game. We were seated promptly, ordered drinks and were off to a nice start. Then everything stalled. Our starters took nearly an hour, and our main courses arrived almost two hours after we sat down. We were patient at first, but eventually the relaxed pace simply became frustrating... more bread, another glass of wine and still no food. When it finally arrived, the food was delicious. The duck dumplings, onion tart, crusted lamb loin and corn agnolotti were all beautifully prepared. Michelle also did a great job on the service side, but the kitchen was painfully slow. What disappointed us most was the lack of hospitality. There was no meaningful apology, acknowledgment or real effort to make things right... and we were charged for everything. More bread and a pint of ice cream didn't address the situation. We left impressed by the food but deeply dissatisfied with the overall experience. The prices reflect a fine-dining restaurant, but the service and hospitality did not come close. At this level, excellent food isn't enough. Fine-dining prices demand a fine-dining experience... and this simply wasn't one.

We ordered off the Prix Fixe menu of $50 for three courses. Starting with the very green potato leak soup, it was so tasty. For the entree, I had the Roasted steelhead trout, Trevino, baby leeks, chanterelles and trout roe butter blanc and the flavors were fantastic. For dessert, I ended with the "chocolate dessert," which was a brownie loaded with layers of chocolate and nuts - one of the best desserts I've ever tasted! Our server was terrific. He was so attentive and took great care of our party of four. I was impressed that he went into the kitchen to ask how the mushroom special was seasoned (just salt and pepper) in response to a question from our table. A very cozy place for dinner and I'm really glad we checked it out in West Cornwall.
