Nicely curated old tavern with good food and service. Outdoor dining patio is a plus. The Asian bowls were nicely seasoned and made fresh to order

Awesome!! The building was the old jail. It still has the items from its past. The servers and staff are amazing. They are very knowledgeable. Drinks are on point and strong. The food will keep you coming back for more.

Came to Litchfield on a beautiful spring day (Monday). Many local restaurants were closed. We tried this place and were seated at the patio overlooking the green and historic downtown. They gladly let our dog sit under the table and the waitress also brought water for our dog. We ordered the Brussels sprouts as appetizer. While sprouts are crunchy, it needs some seasoning. The short ribs cheese melt was delicious. Note: while the view was nice from the patio, there were heavy traffic including trucks passing through.

Save your money! Do NOT eat here unless you would like to take home a food borne illness with you! This has happened twice with this establishment and we gave them the benefit of the doubt the first time but never again. For $21, you too could have a burger that could make you sicker than you’ve ever been, right here in Litchfield. There are plenty of great restaurants in Litchfield, this chain establishment is not one of them. Find a local spot that cares about their customers, this place is a joke.

Stopped in on a random Wednesday at around one o’clock with four in our party. Waited up to 45 minutes for our meals to arrive. Everyone loved their food and the service from our waitress was great. I had to ding MPT 1 Star on service due to the long wait times and the two different size portions of French fries for the exact same meal (didn’t noticed until the end of the meal).
