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.

Horrible! We spent good money here but had a nice afternoon (indoors) as the weather was slightly inclement during our visit. The guitarist was good as was the overpriced charcuterie. May pop in there again on a sunny afternoon -- not quite sure if you can see a sunset there based on the topography, but maybe.

One of the things I noticed was the cleanliness. I travel for work frequently and Litchfield in is, by far, one of the cleanest hotels I've ever stayed. The rooms were quaint, comfortable, and most importantly, quiet. We had Chef Brian provide two lunches for us which were both delicious. For dinner we ventured out to downtown Litchfield on one night and to Bantam the other. We didn't get a chance to use the pool which has just opened, but can confirm it is beautiful! Thank you Syed, Chef Brian and the entire Litchfield Inn staff. Well done!

New Preston. The Inn had a classic feel. I liked that they had sitting areas and game tables. Our room was comfortable. There were a couple of waters waiting for us.

The only issue we had was with the water temperature in our sink. It never seemed to get warm. In any event, overall it was a good stay.

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.

Have to strongly disagree with my fellow Yelpers who rated this farmstand 1 Star -- it's 5 Stars in…read moremy book. Tomatoes were the BEST I've ever had in Connecticut. Juicy, plump, and slight sweet. Squash and corn were also outstanding. Service was stellar too, the young women working the produce tables were friendly and helpful. They did inform me that the corn came from a farm in Granby, but everything else was from Tara Farm. I certainly plan to stop there again, my total purchase only came to $23 -- that was for 5 decent size tomatoes, 4 ears of corn, 3 jumbo squash, and a container of cherry tomatoes. This farmstead was doing a brisk business when I stopped, it's obviously very popular.

Ours may be a minority view, but our experiences here have been disappointing. The farmstead has…read morebeen in this location (next to Litchfield Auction on Hwy 202) for quite a few years; we've visited in almost every one of the years they've been in business. And we've had problems at almost every one of the visits. Considering quality and price, we'd put them in the category of most groceries: the quality of foods is mediocre usually, and the prices are above average. They claim all of their products are locally grown, and they may be although we wonder how many have come from Tara Farm in Watertown. We've discovered stickers from out of state on a number of items (including melons from California recently). Another oddity: with some frequency we find food items (like tomatoes or squash) are exactly the same size, If recently picked on the farm, how does that happen? Bags of corn look purchased from wholesalers, though we don't know that for sure. But that's the appearance. And don't expect bargain prices for anything. So maybe we've visited at the wrong times? Maybe others find great stuff here? Whatever, we have no wish to cast negatives on anyone's business -- although we hear second-hand about some issues with owner at the local Job Lot. So we'll just stick to our complaint: we aren't impressed by the offerings here and wish it were better. In our opinion.

We enjoyed the rehearsal dinner on the porch of the building next to the large silo. It was right before sunset, so we got to enjoy the gorgeous view of the land, trees, and lake while the August sun went down. There was a lovely breeze and we enjoyed our meal under twinkling string lights. There were tons of beautiful flowers blooming around the grounds, and we enjoyed lawn games on the rolling green grass. The next day, for the ceremony, we were located down by the lake. The ceremony took place on a lawn in front of a beautiful old tree, facing the water. Afterwards, we made our way into the old barn and enjoyed cocktail hour and the reception. The space was well designed and the whole experience was magical; candles and simple draperies. A beautiful breeze flowed through the venue as the rumble of thunder echoed in the distance. Despite the thunderstorm that passed through, we were safe and dry inside the barn. All in all, one of the most beautiful and magical wedding venues I've seen.
