The Details

Located in the charming village of Chester Connecticut, we serve lunch and dinner seven days a week.

EXCITING MENU

Our neighborhood restaurant offers a changing menu of inventive farm fresh cuisine, cooked simply and deliciously in a warm and inviting atmosphere.

COME & LINGER

Guests love to linger at our cozy tavern bar, at the outdoor cafe tables, or in the dining room looking into the open kitchen or out the stunning window-wall, thinly screened by bamboo, and overlooking the Pattaconk Brook.

CONCEPTUAL ART

A substantial selection of Sol LeWitt prints, on loan from his private collection, enhance the walls of the restaurant giving the 19th century building a touch of modernism.

IMPRESSIVE WINES & LIQUORS

We have an extensive collection of wines showcasing smaller producers, esoteric varietals and unusual appellations. Our full-bar has all the basics including cocktails made with premium liquors and fresh-squeezed juices plus an extensive list of after dinner wines, eau de vie, liquors and digestifs.

The Chefs

Our chefs have an intimate knowledge of locally grown food so when they’re not in the kitchen they’re often visiting farms, foraging in the woods or fishing the nearby river, streams and shoreline.
