Don't bother; overpriced and servers, although friendly, are not trained and very, very slow. Waited 10 minutes at the front desk for a hostess that never arrived. Ultimately found the rest of my party on my own. The food is not up to the prices they charge.

We always love visiting Anya in Thompson, CT. Last night was extra special. Our table was greeted with a sweet note wishing us a happy anniversary. Heather, our waitress, provided top-notch service throughout dinner. The new summer prix fixe menu is a steal - 3 courses for $38. The meal started with a small plate of homemade pub cheese and bread, accompanied by a blueberry patch mojito and Nantucket spritz. For appetizers, we enjoyed clam chowder, vichyssoise, and lobster rangoons loaded with huge chunks of lobster. The entrees were beef tenderloin tips and fish and chips with a light, crunchy batter. To finish, we indulged in key lime cheesecake and strawberry shortcake trifle. Thanks to the Anya crew and Heather for another unforgettable experience!

Everything was delightful. From the moment I walked in. Magnificent room and ambience. Come on a Saturday eve while the excellent pianist serenades the guests. Quality food. Quality service. I will certainly be back. Thank you!!

Highly Recommend Anya for a Memorable Dining Experience
Tonight, my husband and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Anya, following a recommendation from someone in Pomfret—and we were pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, perfect for a relaxing evening.
My husband ordered the Chateaubriand, which was beautifully prepared, and I had the spring salad along with oysters on the half shell—everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. We both enjoyed a glass of Santa Margherita Chianti, which paired perfectly with our meals. To finish, we split the tiramisu, and it was the perfect sweet ending—light, rich, and delicious.
The service was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and professional. From start to finish, it was a fantastic experience. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Anya to anyone looking for top-tier cuisine!

It really is one of a kind, in the area. As a family with a bit of a tight budget, we have been a little intimidated to come here. We finally did, because we wanted something unique and better than the ordinary pub food we could get. I don't review places unless I have something special to say about it. ANYA was so worth it! The price range was surprisingly affordable, and all of the food was creative and absolutely top notch. Our server and all staff we interacted with were incredibly friendly and attentive as well, and added to the experience. I don't really see us going out to eat anywhere else for a while, unless we want to make the drive over to Federal Hill! Anything less than this would feel like a waste of money, when we know what we can get here!

Anya is a very special place. You are taken to a beautiful place upon entry. You are met with the kindest people. This is a very “classy “ place. I appreciated every second we were there for my birthday dinner. The shrimp cocktail is delicious. The lobster bisque is spot on! Hubby had Bouillabaisse…just the beautiful aroma made me grab a taste yummy; I had the pumpkin gnocchi and was not disappointed! I had to bring most of it home as the dessert menu was calling my name. Chocolate cake (forgetting its beautiful name) was heavenly as I took it to go. This is a beautiful establishment that serves FRESH food in a fine dining atmosphere. It is so relaxing and calming. We recommend Anya to everyone. We will be returning. Thank you Anya! ?

On September 15, 2024, we had our amazing first visit at Anya. There were four to our party & we all chose to have the Autumn Prix Fixe, which is a three course dinner at the set price of $38 each. We felt this was perfect for us to be able to try a huge selection of their offerings.
The food was nothing short of spectacular! We thoroughly enjoyed every dish.
This was for my daughter's birthday celebration & we are delighted of the perfect afternoon!

The food was absolutely incredible, I wish I could have tried more items on the menu. The butternut soup was delicious, the calamari was super tender and the tuna tartar was very good. The chateaubriand was also incredibly tender. The atmosphere is light and airy and the decor is well appointed. The music was a bit loud when the pianist was not playing and the greatest drawback was the length of service taking nearly 3 hours for a party of 6. I would definitely recommend and I will be back to try more menu items.
