We were blown away by the exceptional service. The level of professionalism was refreshing. The staff could have been trained at Downton Abby! We have found the gold standard to which all servers should be compared. The food was simply amazing. My Mole Pork Chop was tender and juicy with an unexpected, and greatly appreciated, subtle crisp on the outside. We will be back, w/ friends!!

My husband and I have lived in Litchfield for years and are soon moving out. We finally just went to this restaurant for dinner and are so mad we didn’t start going years ago. We absolutely loved it. Every single thing we ordered was delicious, I wouldn’t change one thing. Cooked perfectly, wonderful flavor and texture. Highly recommend for a cozy, beautiful dinner - select seasonal menu with high quality and house made/locally sourced ingredients. Truly a 10/10 experience.

Food was overall good albeit very very salty. Service was excellent! If you're in lichfield and looking for fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere, go for it.

Community table is simply outstanding. We are admittedly New York City snobs who dine Michelin restaurants, amongst other top tier culinary experiences, and community table is the best restaurant that we have found in Litchfield County. The food is fresh, tasty, inventive. It inspires me as a home chef to experiment with new ingredients and textures. We've been there maybe three or four times now and it was supposed to be a place where we only go on special occasions but it's turned into maybe an every-other-month sort of treat :) The owner is not the most gregarious but obviously she is a very busy, hard-working person and now that we've been there a few times, she is making it a point to come over and welcome us back. I appreciate her for making that effort and we will continue to dine at community table.

10/10 experience! This is a very special place. Definitely worth a trip. Lobster pasta, duck, peach gallette were all fantastic.
We made a reservation for our anniversary and were disappointed with the experience that followed. We have ordered cheese plates here in the past which we’ve enjoyed. This time the cheese plate was boring and we received no direction as to any special pairing or thought that might have gone into it. I ordered the scallops and my husband the halibut. My food was very salty and both meals were extremely greasy just drowning in oil which made us feel extremely full to the point of nausea. We ordered cocktails off of the specials menu, they were overly sweet and we wondered if we’d in fact ordered mocktails. The wait staff seemed annoyed by our presence and the overall vibe was one that was unwelcoming with staff avoiding eye contact and at times ignoring us. In the past we’ve received chocolate bark with the bill and it’s one our favorite aspects of dining there. We witnessed the couple next us received theirs but ours never came. Perhaps an over site but for what we paid and the fact that I went out of my way to specify that this was a special occasion for us we were more than disappointed. Not sure what has happened but the quality of this restaurant has plummeted.

We were highly recommended to visit Community Table, and we are so glad we did. The care and meticulous effort that goes into their menu is clear, and the atmosphere and service are top class. Every course we had was exceptional. The cocktail menu was creative and varied, with something for any palette. The local cheeseboard is a must-have.

We had a wonderful time at community table. Even on a Monday they were pretty busy. We have dined at community table several times over the years. On our last visit their menu had a Nordic focus which wasn't our favorite. This week we felt like it was a return to the style of cooking that made us fall in love with community table the first time we went there. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we had, but the stand out item was the perfectly cooked duck. The fat was nicely rendered, the skin was crispy, and the portions were just right. It's a bit of a drive for us but well worth it for special occasions.

Best restaurant in the area. Joanne, Karen and team are all incredible and the food is spectacular. The best cocktails and great atmosphere as well.
