The restaurant is beautiful and the evening started out with great expectations. Unfortunately, the quality or the food did not come close to par. To start, our table of four each ordered an appetizer. Two came out, followed by the third and eventually the fourth. The shrimp cocktail was a disaster (think old bay seasoning sprinkled on a mediocre shrimp) and no cocktail sauce. The tuna was very good. The entree of Prime Rib was a massive disappointment. Firstly it had no flavor. NONE. Secondly, it was cold. I'll let it slide because it was a soft opening and the staff listened to our critiques. It's up to them to make some quick improvements or it'll be a beautiful but empty place. read more

Foods good, Ambiance great but service and wait for food was awful. Wait for food was as bad as I have ever experienced with zero input from waitstaff. read more

This is a place with great ambiance, particularly around the holidays. The food was memorable, with steaks being the most exceptional. Pasta dish was good and the appetizers were all tasty. read more

Drinks and dinner entrees were delicious, we also tried a sushi roll with lobster that was 3/5. Lobster could have been chilled more but still good. The veggies and tuna could maybe have teriyaki over it as it was dry without a sauce, but still delicious. Didn't have any room for dessert but based on drinks & food it was good! Decor inside is beautiful, hope to go back and sit at the bar one evening. read more

So tonight we went to Anya. https://www.google.com/search?q=anya+resturant&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#trex=m_t:lcl_akp,rc_f:nav,rc_ludocids:15049638450789033476,rc_q:ANYA%252C%2520LLC,ru_q:ANYA%252C%2520LLC Ten minutes from the lake in Putnam Ct. Seriously awesome! We sat at the bar and enjoyed delicious cocktails followed by an amazing arugula and burrata salad. The arugula tasted like they just picked it and the burrata was rich and flavorful. Absolutely delicious! Then I had a burger and my wife had a special pasta. The burger was without question one of the best burgers I have ever had. Just amazing. The cheese on the burger was a cheese crisp rather than a piece of cheese. The bun was perfectly seasoned and toasted and the fries were hand cut and perfectly cooked. Oh MY God!! Deliciousness! My wife's pasta was home made and easily amazing. Seriously, if you have a taste for something special, you need to give this place a try. The prices were very reasonable and the service was first rate. Hard to believe that this place is so close. Oh, one more thing.... If you love really good home made bread, hard crust with a meaty doughy center and awesome olive oil to dip it in, it's worth the trip for this alone. So yummy! read more

This is my second visit to Anya's. The first was for dinner in July. The waitress was great, the kitchen was very slow, which was surprising as there were only 2 other couples dining. The food was good, but not outstanding. We decided to try brunch today. NEVER AGAIN Who serves French toast and while serving tells us they are out of maple syrup? To make matters worse, never offers to replace for something else. When the bill arrives both orders are on charged. When asked about making the bill right....the arrogance of the waiter was amazing! He asks, what do you want? I had to ask to remove what we clearly didn't eat. I could have let the burnt to a crisp bacon and cool coffee go, but not the arrogance. read more

We have always enjoyed coming to Anya for special occasions. Normally the service is impeccable and the food is delicious. We were surprised and appalled by our experience last night. Even though our reservation was at 6:00pm, by the time they came to take our order (45 minutes later), they were out of the entrees we wanted. 30 minutes after we gave them our second choice, the waitress came back telling us that was also unavailable. We were finally served some food, but unfortunately it was not good. My stuffed shrimp was almost inedible - a cold tasteless clump of unseasoned "risotto" under shrimp that was so overcooked I had trouble cutting it with a knife, stuffed with a huge clump of tasteless breadcrumbs (no crab) with some kind of brown gravy on top. Obviously there was some kind of crisis going on in the kitchen. Our waitress kept apologizing so we didn't make a stink - just paid and left. But for the amount of money we paid for this disaster, we won't be back. We will look for someplace else from now on! read more

The service just got worse with the managers response! The waiter asked me if I wanted that specific tequila or Patron not once mentioning the cost and the glass was mostly ice so there is no way I got the value I paid for! Also once again not aligned with the type of response for serving BAD mussels, they tasted rotten which could get people extremely sick! Manager doesn't even acknowledge or specifically apologize for severing bad mussels. read more

This place is amazing! Decorated so nice. Very clean. I went here for dinner and drinks. I got the chicken and my husband got the burger. We were impressed. Get an espresso martini for dessert! read more

This was our third time going to this restaurant and I was very unimpressed. The service was very slow. Our waitress didn't come over until about 10 minutes after we got seated. The rest of our party arrived and again we didn't see her for another 15 minutes. I went up to the hostess to see if she could locate our waitress and she had her nose so deep in her iPad she didn't even look up at me but said she would get her. The waitress had the excuse of 'the hostess didn't tell me the rest of your party showed up', shouldn't you be keeping an eye out for the rest of our party? And don't you have more tables in the general area than just us?? I got the surf and turf which was $50, it came out medium well (after ordering medium rare) and the lobster tail was that of a baby lobster I'm pretty sure. Very unimpressed and disappointed! read more

Yesterday evening the family dined at Anya Restaurant in Thompson Connecticut. We were celebrating my Brother in Laws retirement and the acceptance of my nephew to graduate school. Our party of six arrived at 4:30 and were greeted and seated immediately. The atmosphere was really bright and airy with a modern industrial look that was really nice. I also noticed that the bar area was bustling and looked like it was a popular spot for folks to come by for a drink and a small plate in the afternoon or early evening. I will most certainly stop by one day and check that out as it looked like a very nice crowd and the food, as I will shortly describe is really super! Our server was Ashley who greeted us and immediately gave us a run down of the dishes, what were considered signature or exceptional and quickly took our order for drinks. We began by ordering some of Anya's signature cocktails that were all superb. Cleverly put together and mixed with fresh fruit flavors and well balanced. Everyone was very happy with his or her selections. Then we went about selecting our small plate offerings which all looked very interesting. I chose the Octopus Confit, grilled octopus served with butternut squash puree, confit potatoes, frisee and Salsa Verde, which provided a nice bite at the finish. The Octopus was grilled to perfection and was tender with a nice char to it. My nephew ordered the mac and cheese as his appetizer and said that the cheese was very creamy and the pasta cooked just the way he liked it. We also tried the Tenderloin Wellingtons with Duxelles, puff pastry and red wine demi glace and my mother who is 84 and quite expert at making Chowder said that the Seafood Chowder she selected was without a doubt the best she had ever had. A glowing review from an old hand at New England chowder cooking. Moving on to the main course, two of us went with the Ravioli, stuffed with butter poached lobster and a sauce of cognac, tomato and basil. Sublime, they were very happy with their selection. I chose the Cavatelli; fresh pasta covered with braised short rib, sweet sausage Bolognese, tomato and topped with basil infused extra virgin oil and Buratta which once split melted the lovely internal creama' over the pasta and meats. Again, superb, definitely a plate I'd gladly order again. Another chose the Orecchette, again, fresh made pasta sauced with house made sausage and a broccoli rabe and spinach Alfredo. Another superb dish. One of our party, the only to order a meat dish chose the grilled lamb porterhouse chops, gazed with a herb and citrus brine served with a scallop braised potato, glazed baby vegetables and finished with a mint pesto. The lamb was perfectly cooked and another superb dish, one I plan to try on another visit. My sister and host of the dinner chose the Fettuccini topped with wild shrimp, shallots, garlic, white wine, tomato, spinach and artichoke hearts glazed with an oil infused with lemon zest. She was very pleased with her selection. The finale of this already superb dining experience was easily up to the same high standard. Three of us chose the Zeppoles and Coffee, Italian doughnuts served with three sauces; a lemon honey glaze, dark chocolate ganache and Dulce dé Leche dipping sauces with a choice of coffee. I really loved this desert! One chose the Tiramisu Gelato Parfait that was made up of layers of coffee liqueur soaked crumbles, tiramisu mousse, and cocoa nibs finished with Chantilly cream. Excellent! But the one that I saved for last was the Spiced Apple Walnut Panna Cotta that was very likely the largest that I have ever seen. Served in what looked like a tall milkshake glass with another rocks tumbler containing brandied apples, fruit and nuts to accent the dish. Again, this desert was outta the park! All in all, our dining experience was really superb, we all enjoyed the entire meal, our server with spot on and super friendly and we all have some really super memories to take from the experience. Anya is the best restaurant in the quiet corner; easily five stars and I urge anyone who has the opportunity to visit to do so. You will not be disappointed by the entire experience. Buon Appetito! read more

Exceptional, in every way! Perfect seasonal menu, love that they take reservations for 2 so you don't have to wait! Service was awesome we had Lisa she was lovely! Awesome food, gorgeous decor, very clean restaurant. Every food detail was the highest quality! read more

A must go to. We celebrated our third wedding anniversary there and the evening was spectacular! The staff was warm, attentive, and inviting. The food is positively incredible. My husband had the chateaubriand and I had the salmon each perfectly made. We even got to meet the chef who checked in on his guests which felt a bit like meeting a celebrity. We finished the evening with an orange blossom creme brûlée (out of this world!) and a soufflé. A fantastic place for a special occasion or if you just want to treat yourself. 100 out of 10. read more

This restaurant is a delightful surprise The grounds are beautiful, and the setting is bucolic. We were regulars at the former Vernon Styles Inn, and miss it. Anya will fill the gap left by its demise, both in ambiance and and comfortable atmosphere. The menu selections are great and the drinks and food quality is top notch. Try it. read more

My family and I have been coming here since day 1. We love the food and love the vibe, we also like the new changes to the menu. But lately the service has been awful. The waitresses we've had have been very rude and sarcastic. Fine dining isn't supposed to have bad service. Lauden ( hope I spelt it correctly)and Kevin have been so wonderful, hard working, and so respectful that's how the WHOLE staff should be. Especially when you are frequent costumers. read more

Beautiful inside and out. Great waitress courtney. Very accommodating with kids even though it was so upscale had a kids menu w/ crayons which was a nice touch as well. Shrimp cocktail was fresh- cocktail sauce was weird especially the texture. My filet was cooked beautiful & everything was perfect. Wife loved the decor. Will definitely be back.... read more

Anya is a hidden gem. Taking the country drive out to CT was a bit long, but during into Anya's driveway resulted in unexpected delight. A beautiful venue with twinkling lights, it was charming, but the best was yet to come. The interior decor is beautiful. I loved it's elegance. The piano music was a nice touch, but the food and service could compete anywhere. The Beef Wellington was not only a gorgeous presentation, but it was the best I've ever had. Everyone loved their meal. The menu has amazing selections. It was a wonderful experience, and thank you to the Chef who came to our table twice to see if we were enjoying our evening. Highly recommend! read more

We had a wonderful Valentine's/Birthday celebration last evening at Anya. Chef Jason's creations are absolutely delicious and the staff is so attentive. Thank you Justine for taking good care of us!! Frank is amazing on the piano and we enjoy sitting and listening to him either before or after dinner. Anya is a definite must if you are looking for a romantic restaurant for your special occasions! read more

Anya's is a fabulous restaurant. Thompson is so lucky to have this fine dining restaurant in our town. Over the past years we have eaten there once or twice a month - maybe even more frequently - and have never been disappointed. The food is always great and the service is impeccable. My wife's favorite drink is a Hendrick's dirty martini and Anya's makes the absolute best of all the places she has tried. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

So this place is kind of out in the middle of nowhere, however... you walk inside and it's absolutely stunning. The main dining room is gorgeous and the bar is way over the top (in a good way) I had the pleasure of having the bartender Stephanie, serve me... and being by myself, she was wonderful company and just wonderful in every way! Food presentation was amazing, menu selection is to die for! If your in the area, or up for a drive, you should definitely come give this place a try! No disappointment here! With my experience, ALL STAFF MEMBERS here were superb. Definitely do yourself a favor and come check this place out!!! Highly doubt you'll be disappointed... read more

Tried this place for the first time yesterday and while the atmosphere was great (and the bread) that was pretty much it. We went for dinner to see how it was hoping to have an event there in a few weeks and conveyed that to the waitress but she did not acknowledge that or give us any information as we had hoped going in. Not one of us in our group enjoyed our food and spent a good amount of money on a few bites of each dish just to be disappointed. I also ordered the steak fries because I saw a picture on the website and it said they came with a homemade ketchup - mine seemed undercooked and came with a side of a dark, thick, chunky paste (looking very different from the picture) that smelled awful and tasted worse. We live pretty close and were really hoping this would be a new "go to" restaurant for us. read more

I'll start by saying that as soon as you drive into the property you know instantly that Anya is someplace special. The building and grounds are beautiful and when you walk inside that's when it really hits you that the owner has put everything into this venture that they possibly could have. The interior is absolutely gorgeous from the Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams to the elegant furniture in the waiting lounge and dining area . Then you are seated at a beautiful table and the true experience starts. The wait staff is very professional and knowledgeable of all the menus, offering great suggestions from cocktails all the way to desserts. Everything we ordered was phenomenal. We started with cocktails, I had a perfectly made Cucumber gin gimlet called the Greenhouse Gimlet so refreshing. My wife had a delicious Lemon Drop martini also made to perfection. We were a group of 4 so we tried a variety of appetizers to share we enjoyed them all. Our dinners were also amazing. From beginning to end our night at Anya was a memorable one. We will be returning soon. I have to add that when we were there it was only their 10th day open. Anya is in Soft opening mode with a Sept 2nd GRAND OPENING date. While soft openings are meant for a restaurant to work out some kinks and perfect everything before grand opening I must say Anya runs as if they have been open for years. Everyone does a wonderful job at their positions from the bartenders ( True Mixologist ) to the wait staff to the kitchen. The kitchen fires off meals at a pace that lets you sit back and enjoy the whole dining experience and not rush you through dinner like they are just trying to flip tables. Anya is about a dining experience to be enjoyed as long as you want, you never feel rushed. I want to Thank everyone for a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely be back to enjoy many more great nights at Anya. read more

We were visiting our parents up in the area from Washington DC and decided to try out Anya on a Saturday evening. We made reservations at 7:15pm. Arriving a few minutes early, we were greeting at the host stand by two very attentive gentlemen who seating us promptly at a wonderful and centrally located table. The table was beautifully set and our waiter Anthony promptly greeted us and welcomed us to the restaurant. He took our drink orders and gave us ample time to look over the menu and wine list, answering any questions that we had. My father who is very particular with pasta sauce asked if he could taste the red sauce before he decided on his meal. Anthony and the kitchen quickly prepared a tasting sample for Dad. For the meal, table had a variety of items that included the grilled Caesar, the field greens, the linguini Nero, the short ribs tagliatelle, the seasonal ravioli and the Delmonico steak. All wonderfully prepared and tasty. For dessert we had the creme brûlée and the almond cake, topping it off with cappuccinos and espresso all exquisitely prepared and tasty. Over all Anya, was a fantastic place with a great staff and very well prepared, presented and tasty food. We will come back the next time we are in the area. Now for a few areas of improvement. The restaurant was full last night so the background noise was very loud and sometimes you had to speak even louder to be heard. They had some music playing on the speakers but all you could hear and feel was the bass thumping. The Caesar salad was a little sparse with the dressing. read more

Wonderful restaurant. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars because I've only had brunch. Once I've had dinner I'm sure I'll bumped this up to 5 stars. The bride and I were amazed how beautiful the place is. Trust me there's nothing like this with in 30 or 40 miles. Anthony served us today. A nice gentlemen providing good serve without being intrusive. We ordered 3 small plates from the brunch menu. Fried baby artichoke hearts with black garlic aioli, oysters with rhubarb lemon verbena mignonette and the 3 cheese 3 meat charcuterie board. Every thing was perfect. The white peach bellini is heaven. We can't wait to back for dinner. This is a perfect place for a romantic or special occasion meal. read more

Last evening we spent New Years Eve at Anya and had a fabulous time. Kata seated us at our favorite table near the fireplace which was adorned with fun NYE decorations, hats, and noisemakers. Because of Covid they had to close before midnight so in lieu of a midnight countdown they did a 6:00 (midnight in France) countdown. Such a great idea! Chef prepared an amazing meal, as always. Out table started with oysters Rockefeller, calamari, and the lamb meatballs. For dinner, we had chateaubriand, lamb chops, and prime rib. We all agreed that our meals were out of this world delicious! Kara went above and beyond to make sure our experience was special. Dining at Anya is always such a treat and last night was no different. Our experience exceeded our expectations. I feel so grateful to have such a special place so close to our home. read more

Absolutely beautiful out on the patio! They suggested a lovely wine and we both thoroughly enjoyed our entrees. Perfect place to celebrate a special occasion we will be back! read more

My husband and I visited Anya months ago with family, our nephew Chris who lives in the area highly recommended the restaurant. Saturday my husband and I returned for an early dinner. We were seated in the sunroom where there is a nice fireplace. Our server was Lisa, very pleasant and so accommodating. The very talented chef visited our table twice! So impressive. The Shrimp Cocktail was great, cold, crisp and very fresh! Chateau Briand with Asparagus, Carrots and Whipped Potatoes was excellent! The Demi glacé sauce and Bernaise also perfect! The asparagus were cooked well, and they weren't those tough pencil ones! My husband had the Veal Chop with mushrooms, also excellent! We tried the Orange Blossom Creme Brûlée, it was a dream dessert. Infused with orange, creamy and crusted with sugar. Anya is a stunning restaurant, the interior design is incredible, exquisite wallpapers, furnishings and carpets, all so unique. Beautiful lighting, high ceilings and a lovely bar area. Love the white linens, candles and the FRESH ROSE PETALS on the tables!! Anya's style is impeccable. Good music even when there is no piano playing. I'm pretty sure the addition of a new chef made our dining experience even better than our first time there. The chef was nice enough to bring the manager over to meet us. Wish we had an Anya in the Johnston/Scituate, RI area! We could visit this elegant restaurant more often. read more

Atmosphere is beautiful and would be a perfect place for a baby or bridal shower or small wedding as long as the pricing wouldn't be outrageous. Went to lunch on a Saturday afternoon and only 2 tables including myself were occupied. Prime Rib Dip and Braised organic chicken were very good. Pricey so not some place we would go often but nice for a special occasion. read more

My husband and I visited Anya last night for the second time (brunch the first time). We both agreed it was one of the best meals we've ever had. Everything was perfect including the exceptional service from Lisa. The Beef Wellington and Lobster Thermadore were excellent. Lisa took great care of us! She asked if we were celebrating a special occasion - we were not - the food, wine, and service made it one! read more

5 stars are not enough. 4 of us went and ordered all different items each course (with the exception of 2 salads), and everything was amazing. More than 1 person in our party tried things they thought they hated only to love it here. read more

We came here for a Monday night dinner & it exceeded any expectations. The food and service were great, and the price was much lower than what I anticipated. My husband ordered a steak, which was a good cut & cooked well. I accidentally ate most of his brussels sprouts because they were just too good. I ordered a pasta dish & the portion was much larger than what I expected, but still had great flavors. We will definitely visit again next time we're in the area! read more

I absolutely cannot say enough about Anya's! Today's Mother's Day brunch was delicious, the ambiance is second to none, and the Jazz band made it even more special!! Thank you to the staff for always making us feel like your favorite customers! read more

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!!! I come here weekly and I am never dissatisfied with the food or service. Everyone is friendly, welcoming and the atmosphere is extremely homey. The food is the best in the area and it is nice to finally have a restaurant that cares about quality rather than just making money. The owners are very active with interacting with customers, assuring that ANYA is more than just a business. The food is outstanding and I have never had a bad meal. ANYA is what the northeast corner has been missing!!! read more

Stopped in again for dinner. Another perfect evening! Great drinks, food, and dessert! read more
