The owners are great ppl and sure as hell knows how to cook many different foods from allOver the world and have never had a bad dish and I’ve basically have eaten eveything on the menu Only place in town to get a surf n turf for a good price! Great cut of meat and cooked perfectly every time. As far as the rude none existing bar tenders that disappear for minutes on end doing god only can imagine, assembly drinking cause it seems like they are always drunk or possibly high. I was greeted with unpleasant faces and rude attitudes. It’s unfortunate cause the owners are wonderful people and Ricky can cook his a$$ off but unfortunately the bar side is filled with typical small town raggy banter and “most of” the bar tenders are rude and unprofessional when it comes toThe bar side. I shouldn’t have to wait 20 minutes for a drink even if the bar is busy for one and there bar tenders aren’t afraid of making it known to like what they say or leave. Horrible customer service on the bar side but If you want a nice place to eat go to the restaurant side cause the bar side may leave a bad taste in your mouth.

We have never been here before so we were excited. It was a buffet dinner. We got a medallion of steak, a piece of chicken, rice, ziti, carrots a salad and a roll. The only thing that had any flavor was the carrots and the roll. The chicken had zero flavor. The steak was overcooked, even the ziti and sauce was bland. We were so hungry we wanted to door dash food in. It wasn’t just us, a lot of people at the event were complaining about the food too.We pre paid $35.00 a piece for 2 tickets to this event. We had a couple drinks and they charged us tax and tip on the whole amount, the ticket price and all. They said that was how they do it.This was the first and last time we will eat there!!We ended the night at twin colony diner for real food that tastes Delicious!They also oversold tickets to the event. There was over 60 people in there small room. Not enough tables some people ended up leaving before the event even started.

I wasn't impressed from the jump, I guess if I was looking to cut loose with a bunch of people looking to break all the rules of society, I would have been excited, however, I was looking to impress my girlfriend with a high-class dinner at a high-class restaurant,, the bar area gives a bad smell test.. Walking into the restaurant, i thought,, ok,, this is classy.. There were no customers when we walked into the restaurant at dinner time and i thought,, lucky us, we will get undivided attention, unfortunately, we got no attention until we paid our $100 check. Not once was i asked how my dinner was from bite one until I finished my meal, not once!! Totally unacceptable! We were an afterthought and a distraction to all employees who must have been partying at the bar as we ate. I ordered the veal parmesan with bow tie pasta (lol!! Bow tie pasta?? No angel hair pasta??, why not just serve potato chips?? Again, totally unacceptable.) The veal was thick and moist, I want thin, big and dry, moistened by the sauce. It was like they ordered out from the 5 and dime and served us that. Guess what? I don't recommend. Save yourself the frustration and lots of money, the restaurant is an after thought, their only concern is their bar. I will spare them and not read this review on my radio program, definitely not worth my time.

Wait, and wait and wait some more. Here for over an hour and still no main course.....,
We went to Winchester Rest. on April 1st for my Birthday. We were outstandingly disappointed. We ordered appetizer of chicken wings which were over cooked, crunchy, and dry. We had each ordered a steak dinner. When they arrived at our table we were astonished on how burnt the outside of steaks were. We were hopeful that steak would at least be as we ordered...one medium rare, other medium well...No overcooked and dry. I had ordered a baked potato - again overcooked/dry. Spouse ordered french fries which we had to get the server attention to ask where the fries were. Upon arrival they were cold and over cooked. The only thing not burnt & that I can say anything good about was the tossed salad. Will not return...EVER.

Great food and service. There's a restaurant and a bar in a separate room with pool and darts.

went in for a simple drink and was rudely denied, because after working 16 hours i seemed a little "too wobbly"........ paying customer could not even buy their first drink of the night because of an instant judgement due to the fact that they walked there and seemed tired after their shifts and physical journey to the establishment. prices are high, terrible selection of alcohol, staff is rude aside from one nice bartender that deserves a better place to work at. on the way in and out i could smell elicit substances being smoked on the premises, not just marijuana...... terrible bar, terrible staff, spend your money better anywhere other than here. drug addicts will try to rob you on your way back to your car and please find me a night that somebody isn't bumming cigarettes outside for a living. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE!

Such a wonderful dining experience. Very attentive staff, food was absolutely amazing! We were not disappointed at all. Definitely a hidden gem in Torrington. We will definitely be going back!
