Somehow your draft prices feel high, and the beer is okay..

This historic site was home to pivotal decisions during the Revolutionary War, made by George Washington himself. The museum/buildings themselves have limited hours (which are listed on the parks website) but we were able to walk the grounds freely which was nice. There are gates/fencing surrounding the site, which were locked as we went around - but toward the opposite side of the site (where I believe their designated parking lot is? We weren't sure but it looked like their lot) there is an opening where you can walk a gravel path that will take you through the site. It was really cool being able to see the buildings here. Even though the park is nestled in a neighborhood/town, I felt pretty immersed in the history just walking along the paths. We got to see the buildings that George Washington was present in, plus the various monuments that were erected on site. The state parks put up informational signs around the area so we could easily read up on the history. It was a really nice way to get even just a taste of history while we were here, which was perfect for our constricted time frame. If I'm ever traveling this way again, I'd definitely try to make it for a tour of the interiors.

Ore Hill has a brief, but somewhat tangled, history. Along with Swyft, a more casual sibling…read morerestaurant that shares the same address and ownership, and Rock Cobble Farm, a nearby estate in South Kent that supplies incredible produce, dairy products, and beef to both restaurants, Ore Hill was the brain child of philanthropist Anne Bass. We have loved the wood-fired pizzas, cocktails, and anything vegetal at Swyft since star chef Joel Viehland (previously of Noma, Gramercy Tavern and Community Table) opened it in 2018. Sadly, Chef Viehland left Swyft in 2020 without realizing plans for Ore Hill and not long after, Ms. Bass passed away. She provided for the farm and two restaurants in her estate, however, allowing Ore Hill to finally open in April 2023 with Chef Tyler Anderson as culinary director and Ryan Connelly as executive chef. The New York Times recognized Ore Hill as one of the best restaurants in the US the same year, the only restaurant so recognized in Connecticut. But the story doesn't end there. For reasons not made public, it seems that Chef Connelly left in late 2024 and Chef Ryan Carbone was brought in as a replacement. At our recent meal, Chef Carbone had not been long at the helm. We do not know first hand what the kitchen was like prior to his leadership -- but we can comfortably say that Ore Hill under Chef Carbone is inventive, interesting, and delicious. It makes brilliant use of lesser-known, lesser-appreciated ingredients that can transform a dish -- like nasturtium flowers and gooseberries. This kitchen takes risks, combining ingredients in unusual ways -- and it often pays off big time. Whoever is designing the food here is brilliant and those who are executing the food are doing a fine job of it. Ore Hill is only open for dinner and only offers a five course prix fixe or a chef's tasting menu. There is bread service, something we have learned to never take for granted given that it is no longer a norm in most NYC establishments: Two extremely thick slices of toasted, smoky sourdough with extremely yellow butter sourced from Rock Cobble Farm. (There could be doctoring of other sorts, but I usually associate butter this color with well grazed cows.) We chose a bottle of wine to go with our meal, a light 2020 Rossese di Dolceacqua, "E Prie" di Anfosso Lorenzo from Liguria. I did not love this wine on first sip, immediately after opening and without food, but the wine grew on me, playing surprisingly well with seafood, cheese / dairy, even lightly acidic dishes and red meat. Our courses: Canape: Black Point Oyster, tomato dashi, cucumber, basil First: - Beef tartare, farm beets, anise hyssop: Finely minced beef and beets were visually indistinguishable, served atop an anise hyssop leaf. We were instructed to eat everything together as though it were a hand roll. - Sea scallop crudo, cucumber, shiso, gooseberry: Sea scallops were pleasantly firm, just yielding enough, and interestingly reminiscent of the cucumber in texture. The gooseberry-based sauce was quite tart and little bit tannic, a fascinating stand-in for more familiar lemon. Second: - Tomme bottoni, green garlic, chive, chervil: Pasta "buttons" were filled with mellow, nutty Tomme cheese and topped with tendrils of flavorful micro greens, both from Rock Cobble Farm. Interestingly, this was the dish that paired best with the Rossese wine. - Grilled summer squash, skate wing, wild rose, red currant, mint: The rose had quite a concentrated fragrance, but was incorporated so gently and thoughtfully into the dish -- as pretty petals garnishing the dish, blended into the sauce, and in the poaching liquid for the skate -- that it was not overwhelming. Third: - Beef flat iron, green beans, bb carrot, lemon balm butter: The beef was perfect: perfectly seasoned, perfectly juicy, cooked to medium rare and wonderful with the lemon balm butter. -Steelhead trout, tomato jam, wood sorrel: The surprise star was the peppery pop of nasturtium flowers sprinkled atop. Fish was oversalted, but otherwise expertly handled. Cheese (a kind gift of the chef): a bloom, a gouda, and a tomme, all sourced from Rock Cobble Farm's dairy cows + spelt crackers Dessert: Summer berries, farm yogurt, sunflower granola, chocolate, lemon balm: Such a fun play of textures and flavors. The essence of summer berries captured perfectly. Black walnut miso pot de creme, blueberry, creme fraiche, sesame: Clever use of blueberry, present as a concentrated powder sprinkled atop the pot de creme, and alongside the creme fraiche and sesame tuille. Ore Hill's kitchen does a wonderful job of highlighting the flavors of intensely fresh ingredients and not impeding their clarity. I'm not sure where Chef Carbone's and Chef Anderson's visions overlap, begin, and end. But whatever they're doing to collaborate -- it is delicious without doubt.

FALL 2023 Menu Highlights…read more The tasting menu begins with a single canapé as an amuse-bouche. A bite elicits delightful surprise... so spoiler alert, skip to first course description if you want to be likewise surprised! The New York State cheddar is melted and encased in a pillow of pastry dough. Black honey (yes, it's a thing) is drizzled on top of caviar that is perched on top. A bite elicits simultaneous bursts of flavor and texture -- crunchy pops of salty caviar, creamy cheese. Just dreamy! First course added to the excitement and demonstrates why New York Times selected Ore Hill as sole restaurant in Connecticut their writers consider to be a national favorite in 2023. Sunchoke custard is truly sunchoke three ways -- moist chunks of sunchoke and veil thin fried crispy slices of sunchoke on a bed of creamy sunchoke custard. Sibling restaurant Swyft is known for their innovative and sophisticated pizzas, and another first course took pizza to unimaginable levels with toppings of tiny beef tartare cubes, thin, tart slices of pickled tomatillo, and slightly spicy horseradish cheese curds. With the second course came agnolotti filled with smoked ricotta, surrounded by cubes of pickled beets and juices, and topped by toasted rye crumbs. This vibrantly colored dish is befitting for fall, with the earthy rye, smoky cheese, and vibrant beets. Another second course available on the fall menu invited surprise-- seared scallops and potatoes are visually indistinguishable as the potatoes were cut and roasted in a way that mirrors the appearance of scallops. Two scallops and two potato rounds sit in a bright green pool of yuzu and lovage infused sauce and topped with broccoli florets. Two meat dishes are offered in the early November 2023 menu -- lamb and strip streak. While well-prepared meats can be experienced in many places (including home), what makes these courses noteworthy are the innovative sauces and preparation of side vegetables that accompany them. An Asian-inspired concoction comprised of bok choy, celery root, and five spice juice elevates several medallions of lamb. A wide sliver of strip steak is paired with a sophisticated iteration of the classic onion and mushroom pairings. Choice of two desserts end the Fall 2023 tasting menu -- "campfire cake" and apple tart. The campfire cake has a creamy layer of chocolate ganache wedged between a graham cracker crust and toasted meringue topping. A delightfully reimagined s'more! The apple tart is a lighter dessert choice, with delicate mini cubes of apples encased in pastry and topped with a dollop of crème fraiche and a leaf-shaped cookie. SERVICE: With two or three items on a tasting menu of an acclaimed restaurant it is unlikely to make a bad course choice, but the server is eager to explain the origin of the restaurant and answer any questions. Service is attentive and mindfully unobtrusive. In the upper floor Rose Room dining area there are two entryways from the hallway through which the server periodically visits five widely spaced tables of two to four customers.

Country-chic style, cozy+dim feel and the black and white in-your-face white checkerboard floor make up the inside design. The only thing missing on an unseasonably cool August summer was a crackling log fire. Their menu, is the main catch here. The menu changes often(?) depending on what's in season. Go for the prepped veggies+proteins or order from the menu like I did. Their 'Specials' menu lists items you can tweak and their regular menu offers fixed items. I ordered from both. Hubs enjoyed the grilled chicken panini with Swiss+raw onions and mayo I picked for him. My mixed green salad with feta+walnuts+apples+cranberries was great on its own- but I added a grilled salmon piece for added protein. Purely wholesome. I hesitated using their provided balsamic 'dressing' for fear it might include any kind of mustard- but that sucker was a silky balsamic emulsion that made my entire salad come together- even drizzled it on my salmon. And the soup in all this? Hubs liked the meat chili and I thoroughly enjoyed my Vegan Chili. If you're having your meal here, be ready for the laid-back mood and pleasant service from Deb.
