Thank you for not making your patrons feel rushed during the course of their meal. The lobster tails were delicious and my server was very nice. Would return.

Wonderful dinner with family, baked cod dish topped with lobster was delicious, more than needed, another had the filet minion done to perfection, dinner salads were fresh. Certainly a place for repeat visits.

This is a great restaurant that has been in business for many years. The food is always consistently excellent. The service is always consistently excellent. I highly recommend getting reservations before you go. The atmosphere is lacking a bit. While they have done things to modernize over the years, the entryway is rather cluttered and chaotic and the bathroom could use updating too. However, this does not stop us from coming back often!

Friends and I went after a day of climbing at Hanging Mountain. Our waitress was joking that they don't mess around and she was right. Starting with the salads that came with our entrees, we saw she was right, they were great appetizer sized salads which were very varied. Our entrees did not disappoint, they were all very healthily size and absolutely delicious. We got a piece cannoli cake as well, that was spot on. Very excited to stop back in next time I'm at Hanging Mountain.

Food is reliably good with a variety of selections.
That being said, the place is fairly dark inside and in need of an update and facelift.

Too expensive for what you get. My salad came after my meal was served and my soup came with my meal. I asked for soup and salad to come before my meal.

My boyfriend and I come here to eat and order take-out frequently because of the quality. The food is always delicious with homemade sauces and pleasant, but not overdone, seasoning. The food takes a bit of time since it's all made fresh. Some people may complain about this fact, but it's a sign that the food is cooked and not frozen. Also, some people complained in other comments about the "outdated" decor and building. The structure is a historic part of the pre-flood days of winsted. I always love looking at the old pictures up on the walls! The staff are always very generous as well. They go above and beyond to give us great service. They always remember us, giving generous amounts of sides and an extra dessert here and there.
People need to realize that privately owned businesses may not have the quick turn-over and staff volume.
We prefer to support local!

Place is fabulous!!! I don't want to say their menu is small, it's more of an intimate menu. They do have nightly specials in addition to their regular menu. All entrées come with bread and a salad (salad bar is no more, thanks to covid). They cook everything top notch, just as you request. We did 2 family birthday dinners here. Their bacon wrapped filet is to die for, my go to. Only place I've ever had one and the bacon comes out perfectly cooked. Our table also got appetizers which consisted of mozzarella sticks (so yummy and that cheese pull ?), wings, which are absolutely massive, and boneless buffalo wings, which have that spicy kick you're looking for. Other entrées were their prime rib, cooked both rare and medium rare and were both spot on and devoured lol. The french onion soup is a must... packed with amazing flavor and the perfect portion size. We also had their vegetable lasaga, which was huge and packed with filling. You can tell everything they make is a labor of love and the prices are more than fair for the portions they provide. If you're ever in Winsted, check them out... you will NOT be disappointed or leave hungry.

The food and service were exceptional. Seafood chowder was the soup of the day. It was creamy and full of seafood. Our meals came with a very nice salad, relatively large and artistically presented and warm rolls. The marinated pork chops were very tender and tasty and the salmon was delicious. Portions were generous and prices were reasonable. The drinks were well made and I loved the cannoli pie for desert. Our server, George, was very attentive.
