New American Restaurants near Thomaston, CT

“I hardly never write reviews but this was my 1st time going here. We were celebrating my birthday and we had such a great experience. The food was so delicious. The prices were decent. The waitress was friendly. The inside was clean and nice looking. We would definitely recommend trying and we will be back. We had chicken and waffles and onion rings.“

“3 for breakfast on this day. Very nice patio, closed because of time of year. Inside is a typical small breakfast room. Two TVs on with news. We were greeted and treated very well. One plate was a typical scrambled eggs, potatoes and white toast. Wasn't mine but heard it was good. The toast was a thick bread, buttered and toasted well. The potatoes were fresh cut and grilled with onions and spices. Another plate was Huevos Rancheros. The menu has quite a bit of Mexican flavor to it, and it being one of my wife's favorite breakfast to eat out, we thought it was a safe bet. Not the case unfortunately. Partly our fault and partly because the waitress didn't ask, the eggs were over easy and runny eggs are a no-no for her, so it sort of ruined the whole dish. The rest of it was just so-so and quite sparse-no avocado, no salsa or pico and just a small side of re-fried black beans. I had the Protein Bowl special. The only thing wrong with it was that it didn't come in a bowl! This made it a bit more difficult to mix up, but the combination of black beans, quinoa, avocado, fresh pico and two eggs over easy were quite delicious, especially the freshly made pico. The desserts all looked so good but we decided on the mixed berry scone. It's not a scone (meaning it's not dry) but it was very good. Definitely worth another try, likely when the weather is nice again and we can sit outside!“

“What a great spot for an event. I met up with one of my business groups and wow they put on a wonderful spread. I mean there were shrimp tacos and pretzel bites and nachos and tuna and salad. I was too busy to eat the salad but it looked gorgeous. I had wine and it was light and crisp. Lovely staff by the way which is always “

“This is my favorite restaurant in town. I’ve been here several times for both dine-in and takeout. The food is fresh and delicious. I love that they use local ingredients and I love that the takeout does not include plastic containers, plastic cutlery, or plastic bags. I also like that the menu changes up from time to time. Staff are always friendly and professional. Thank you for providing such a great dining option in Watertown.“

“I love going here with my family several times. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is very nice and staff is very kind and friendly.I also love the artwork and carvings throughout the restaurant.I would love to see them close on Sunday orMonday, so the restaurant and all of the people can get a rest as they are working very hard.Can’t wait to go back.“

“I just picked up our two Caesar Salads and brought back to our home as my wife was tired. Why would you buy them from some haute Cuisine place like the West Street Grill? Well, they are simply the best cuisine in Litchfield - even for a simple take out salad. Very nicely prepared with Parmesan in its own container and a rich Caesar dressing as well.While I was waiting I looked around at the people dining in a very relaxed atmosphere with nice Jazz music playing. I thought that we should have come here for dinner instead (as we have many times before) and had a treat dining out. You won't regret your visit here.“

“I will start by saying that 4 stars is being just a tiny bit generous. My meal was more like a 3.5. First - it's cash only so keep that in mind prior to stopping in. I went in alone - I was shopping in the area but not from town. Rachel's had pretty great reviews and I was really excited about it. Even though it was lunchtime - I decided on the Irish Benny. I looked at the menu for a while. There was nothing truly inspiring on it. I was tossing and turning trying to decide - I was a bit nervous ordering the hash because it didn't say 'homemade' on the menu. I finally asked and was sold on the Irish Benny when I found out the hash wasn't coming out of the can (not that I don't love that from time to time). It was served with a rather small (but fine for me!) serving of home fries. I did ask for them well done but many of them can out burnt. The bread that the Benny was served on was too thick. It was super tough to cut through. I believe it was grilled on the griddle and was overcharrred leaving it with an odd taste. The eggs on top may have been poached but there was barely a runny yolk so it was hard to tell. There was too little hollandaise. Overall - it was all just a bit flat for me. The do squeeze their own lemonade which was refreshing and delicious! The vibe is cute - rustic and cozy. My waiter was nice - attentive and engaging without over doing it.“

“I have been to Philadelphia and back. I like to rate food sometimes. And by gosh this is one of the best steak and cheeses I’ve ever freaking had. So much steak great prices. Friendly, friendly owners, and staff highly highly recommend. Hidden gem. Hope you will read this :-) I also want to mention Ana… she should be running the place. Top freaking amazing service, so polite and so thoughtful.“

“We had an incredible stay at Winvian! We were in the Beaver Cottage which was a rustic but luxurious cabin. We enjoyed the food at Maggie's Tavern, Winvian Farm Restaurant and participated in a stained glass making class and had s'mores after dinner one night. Their spa services are top notch and have couples massages in a room with a fireplace and champagne afterwards. The staff were all incredibly kind and helpful with Anthony, Christina, and Rachel being particular standouts. We look forward to returning!“

“Nice atmosphere with friendly staff and patrons. Food is a notch up from usual bar/tavern fare as orders are prepared individually on a grill behind the bar. Have had numerous burgers and they are quite juicy while prepared as ordered. Fries are crispy on the outside and creamy in the middle. My wife says the crispy chicken sandwich is the best she's ever had! Oh, the beer selection is adequate and cold. What more do you want? Torrington's version of CHEERS!“

“There aren't enough words to explain how special a place Winvian Farm is. The staff takes customer service and attention to detail to an entirely different level. It's most definitely a high-end resort, but you're not made to feel anything but welcomed and at home. They made this very special birthday celebration a lifetime memory, and we are so very grateful for their efforts.Rooms: We stayed in the helicopter cottage and can't explain how unique an experience it was! The steam shower!! Oh my goodness the steam shower! And the views!! I can only image how stunning it must be in the spring and fall!Food & drinks: Gourmet dining at its finest with a great wine list to match!!Noteworthy details: Spotless property with high attention to customer service and satisfaction. Quiet... cozy... perfect.“

“It has been quite awhile since our last visit to the Village restaurant, nothing has changed to our delight! Great Service, Good food and my favorite Fried Oysters is as good as I remembered. Such a wonderful meal in a charming pub setting in a beautiful town of Litchfield.“

“We stopped in for late lunch/early dinner after scoring a walk in at the Smash Room across the street. We did not have reservations, but it wasn’t very busy when we arrived. The hostess was extremely pleasant and helpful. We thought the atmosphere was very inviting, casual and a bit of a throwback.Our server, Scout, was excellent. He provided specialty drink, beer, and food suggestions for those in our party needing some help deciding.The menu is basically tavern fare. The lunch menu is an eclectic mix of pizza, handhelds, salads, and a few entrees. The dinner menu adds more entree choices. Our group had the cauliflower app, drinks, handhelds and salads, which we found all to be very good.Parking: At busier times I can see that the size of the parking can become problematic. Street parking is extremely limited due to the odd intersection location and number of nearby commercial businesses.“

“Food & service have been nothing short of TOP TIER at Sol Café. In my humble opinion, one of the most underrated and deliciously curated Latino restaurants in all of Connecticut! I mean that whole heartedly and this place has continued to exceed my expectations. I’ve been a customer for almost 2 years, and I can’t be any more satisfied with my experiences throughout my time here! Cheers to many years to come!?“

“Uncommon Grill is a restaurant that is energetic and fun! The menu offers a variety of different foods to try. There is a selection of tacos, wings, soups and salads, handhelds and a variety of pastas. The handhelds consist of different sandwiches such as a classic "Uncommon Burger" or a "Chicken Parmesan Sandwich" . Both meals are packed with savory flavors! Not only is the food UNbelievable but the service is top tier. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by a worker at the front desk. Then there may be a small wait for a table but it's expected with such a great restaurant! Once you sit down you are served by your waiter/waitress. The service is outstanding. Along with the service the atmosphere is perfect. The music is just loud enough to where you can hear your conversation but sing along with the music if that's what you prefer! Overall Uncommon Grill is an extraordinary local place!“

“Amazing service is an understatement. The new painted pony restaurant is an amazing place for people of all Ages with events all through the week such as trivia on Tuesdays and bands every Saturday this place has it all. The amazing menu is only beat by the amazing food options. The fries are amazing and while there are many pasta dishes the chicken parm in particular is amazing don’t listen to what the haters say the painted pony is an amazing place for you and the whole family. I will be coming back.Parking: Parking in the front and back no trouble getting in and out.“

“Sunset Grille hosted our baby shower of around 60 guests and they did an amazing job. The food was fantastic, the venue was beautiful, and Kathy did a wonderful job planning the event. I would definitely have another event there in the future. Thank you Sunset Grille for doing such a wonderful job!!“

“Been in the bar previously, but this time ate in the restaurant (cellblock). Service was attentive, menu is casual and food is very good. Sales were fresh and crisp with generous portions of chicken added. Marketplace I'd very comfortable and seemed to draw many locals and families.“

“Went out to dinner here on Friday night. The parking lot was packed. And I know why. This is an old style Italian restaurant. Not fancy but absolutely delicious. I had chicken cacciatore. My wife had a bowl of pasta. My friends had the seafood dishes.the seafood dishes were outstanding. The owner came to our table. They were very friendly. Prices were reasonable, not inexpensive, but not extravagant either. I will definitely come back.“

“Maggie Mcfly's is a giant 2 floor restaurant. The food was good, the French Fries were crispy and the fish on the fish sandwich was nice and flaky. The only reason why I removed a star was because the food was pricy and the portions were too big.“
