I loved the atmosphere; it felt warm, cozy, and like just the place you'd want to spend an evening in October. Service was very friendly! Lots of smiles and suggestions about the menu. My friend and I ordered the skillet honey butter cornbread, the mini tacos, and the devils on horseback- bacon wrapped dates stuffed with blue cheese!! Yum! There was honestly no favorite amongst them- each one was perfect. We cleaned all three plates! Overall, the Rocky Hill Inn was worth the 45 minute drive. I'll be dreaming of my next trip here until then!

This visit to the Rocky Hill Tavern wasn't as good as previous visits. Service was still good but…read morereservations are an absolute must. The French onion soup is just as good and one of the best in the area. It's so good we had it when it was over 95° degrees outside and still worth it. They've changed the chicken meatballs in the last 2 years since I've been there - much less slaw (which was a unique highlight). These were dry and tasted overcooked and tough. My chicken Milanese was also overcooked and tough. The chicken was right at that cusp of brown to burnt with some pieces being burnt and difficult to chew. My husband's fried chicken from his sandwich (much much thicker piece of chicken) was fine so it makes me wonder if it was cooked at the same time. The prices are still reasonable for a nicer pub / gastropub which is appreciated.

When he recited the specials, he included the prices, which was a nice touch. Connor suggested dishes we might enjoy, including his personal favorites, and he was on the mark every single time. Since we shared most of our food, he brought everything out already divided and separately plated, which we really appreciated. The food was all delicious - both interesting and elegant. We started with the wedge salad, in which a few large pieces of bacon enhanced the flavor beautifully. The salmon tartare was another highlight, with tiny bursts of caviar that elevated the whole dish. My cocktail, the Sweet Earth, was unique and intriguing - definitely recommend.  The standout was the seafood pasta with lobster and shrimp in a lemon-garlic white wine sauce so incredible we had to ask for extra bread just to soak up every last bit of it. And dessert seemed simple -  a warm gooey chocolate chip cookie with ice cream - but was utterly rich and decadent. You will not regret eating here!

First time back here since covid, and been looking forward to it. Upon entering the first thing…read morewe noticed was how hot it was inside. They sat us in a corner, no breeze and learned their AC and fan has been broken for years. Couple next to us sat down said its too hot and left in less than a minute. We stuck it out and was glad we did. Their take on an amaretto sour was very tart and vibrant, a new favorite. Reisling was nice and sweet. Main course was papardelli, fresh pasta. Fully enjoyed that. Friday special ia chicken parm, was cooked nicely. However when we discussed dessert we just were too hot to have another drink and have dessert which is a shame. Not sure why they haven't fixed this know air issue, they are loosing sales.... What kept it 4 star for us was the wait staff. Jordan was extremely friendly and efficient, as well as the other staff that took care of us. Would love to go back, but maybe in late fall/winter unless they fix their fan/ac issue.

All of the dishes were excellent.  Also had a side of Fioretto Cauliflower $12 that was creative though not too plentiful.  Really appreciated that they list the farms where they source their ingredients.  The beers were superb, Hazy IPA, Bohemian Pilsner and Keller Pils.  The sports bar has a different menu with more of the types of dishes you'd expect at a brew pub. It is however dark and less inviting. In part that's the rub here. As much as we appreciated the quality of the food and gorgeous setting the fact that it is part of a brewery becomes somewhat irrelevant. We had beer because we were there but the dishes begged for wine. I'd have preferred a beautiful beer hall rather than the full fine dining experience. Just a bit too upscale for a brewery. Service was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. .

I realized when I…read morewalked in that I'd been there previously for a bachelor party, I think, and at that time I think we were on the top floor for a dinner which I recall being pretty great. This time, we were there to just hang out at the bar, so we went down to the basement, which is really nicely decorated! I opted for one of their brews, I think a dark lager, which tasted pretty good, though I didn't end up finishing it. I got to chat a bit with one of the bartenders, who was really cool and helped me out a bunch with some much needed water! I think his name was Herman. Pretty chill spot in my opinion, would come back for another outing with friends or colleagues.

These are weekends I try to avoid but my guests, not so much. Despite being mobbed, Agricola is quickly becoming a go-to favorite as the service is crisp and the "Brunch" menu is worthy of being overpriced. The Bang Bang Cauliflower and the Butternut Squash soup were both first rate along with a rare cheeseburger that was still breathing (yum.) Agricola richly deserves five stars.

I did a quick Mary Tyler Moore trot across the street and entered into a mudroom style area where there was a collection of umbrellas. I found the floors inside the dining area to be very slippery so leaving the umbrellas by the door makes the most sense on this type of day. The dining room has a rustic-chic aesthetic with wood paneling and a comfortable farmhouse environment. I made reservations in advance and was happy to be seated immediately upon arrival. We declined the table we were initially offered since it looked a bit cramped, like the end of a table that was already seated. Considering the restaurant wasn't busy, we asked to be seated elsewhere. The new table was much better, a high top with a convenient hidden compartment under the table where you can store your personal items. Service was quick. I ordered the slow cooked short rib hash with sous vide egg. I asked for the egg to be cooked as firm as it can get. Ultimately, I had to change it to a fried egg. I tried the sous vide..I did!..but a runny egg just isn't for me. Now the short rib was delicious, made with house made mozzarella, fingerling potatoes with a red wine demi. I am reliving my first bite as I write out my thoughts for this review. I will be back for that meal alone. I paired it with a sparkling rosé followed by a French 75. For dessert, I ordered both the caramel creme brulee and the cinnamon swirl bread pudding. Unfortunately, I had to return the creme brulee since I didn't realize it was a chocolate base. Traditionally, creme brulee is made with a vanilla bean custard so I was surprised to see their spin and noticed only once it hit the table. The bread pudding, however, was warm with just the right amount of cinnamon and sweetness, served with vanilla ice cream. I look forward to returning the next time I'm in Princeton specifically for the short rib hash and the bread pudding. Would recommend.
