With that said let me jump into this review the Grinder bread was toasted and fresh what disappointed me was the bacon it was diced up I hate that I love my bacon with full slabs on them I don't know if it's the cheapest way to do this but I absolutely hate diced bacon. The wings were on the small side but they were cooked with perfection not over cooked and dry so that I was absolutely happy with that their Blu cheese didn't have that kick to it was just OK not great and the pizza was good, over all I would it a 3 1/2star rating.

Our server was very attentive and the food was delivered promptly. As a history lover, I loved seeing all the historic photographs on the walls. The building has a very historic feel.

We went beyond the wings/apps page and got entrees and sandwiches too. I know. I know. We brought it upon ourselves. Rather than go into detail on our disappointment in a place we love.

Guzzle gallons of their French onion soup - have whatever beverage you choose - and leave the other items right where they are and enjoy the wing and onion soup perfection. Always great!!! Service too.

So this is the place to go if you enjoy prime rib! The waitstaff has been terrific each time we've had a meal here. There is seating outside on the porch as well as inside.

They bring it to the table heated and it is fantastic!

I went on a Saturday around 4:00 and the front part of the restaurant was pretty busy, so I sat in the back where there wasn't as many people. There's a fireplace that is so cozy. I love all the wood too. It did take some time to get waters and menus, but the staff was very nice about the wait. I got a cheese pizza and it was so good! I love a good bubble and there were a few on the crust of the pizza. So good! One of the coolest things was the to go pizza box comes inside out. I had never seen that before, so I asked the waitress if they put the box together wrong and she told me it was one of their signatures!! I love it. I also got a salted caramel espresso martini, which was good. I did enjoy the regular one more though. I always look forward to coming back!

Enjoyed a few things off their very generous Happy Hour menu. Reduced prices and portions - but all of the feel and flavor. Gave me a change to try a range of things in one visit. Can't wait to go back. Of the things I tried, the smoked wings and cole slaw were by far the best. Kielbasa and brisket were good - not fatty - but had a much more mild smoke profile than I anticipated. Not sure how much time they were on the smoker - but delicious. Jerk chicken sandwich was also good. Not spicy. But flavorful. My next trip I'll delve into the Mexican side - with wings all over again. I don't drink alcohol - but the bar scene was perfect. Again, a terrific, laid back, fun place.

I've ordered various menu items from this Pizza Express several times over the last year…read more Everything has always been good, from the pizzas, to the grinders & wraps, to the salads, to the calzones. Can't say I've ever disliked anything, Pizza Express is one of my "Go To Places" for lunch in Torrington when I'm working. Owner & staff are very friendly too. If you do pick up one of their takeout menu pamphlets, I just wanted to state, they do NOT serve Greek style pizza (which is a good thing, I dislike Greek style pizza, for the most part). See my pics below for the style of pies Pizza Express serves.

If you're going to try this pizza, get the plan cheese, or pepperoni pie instead. Another plus side; the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

ORIGIN: Riverton, Connecticut is a popular destination for…read morefly fishing, so it comes as no surprise that the name of the ground floor tavern at the Old Riverton Inn is named after a fly fishing lure -- The Royal Coachman. EXPERIENCE; What did come as a surprise to me was the popularity of this rural tavern on a fall Friday evening and the quality of food and service experienced. Jason P. had reported excellent fish and chips, noteworthy wings, and selection of local beers at the tavern in his review. I ordered the fish and chips alongside the server's suggested Norbrook Farm-brewed Mount Pisgah IPA. The fish and chips dish ($20) was as Jason had described -- "TOP TIER". I look forward to exploring the menu further (although it will be hard to pull me away from the fish and chips). Kudos to the tavern's Head Chef Austin Ouelette and his crew! AMBIANCE: There are three dining areas -- an outdoor patio, a newly renovated, modern dining room, and the original dining room filled with colonial-inspired furniture. TIP: Parking lot size was insufficient the Friday evening I visited, necessitating parking on the shoulder of State Route 20 . This possibility may be circumvented via a visit on an earlier weekday. The tavern is open to visitors and inn guests Wednesday through Sunday.

Their menu has a lot of different options to please everyone in your party. They've got the typical go-to's (burgers, sandwiches, pizza) but then you get into some house made comforts like chicken pot pie and bacon wrapped meatloaf. The service is great, but since it's a pretty small place the waitresses might be pretty busy so just be patient. With that said, seating is fairly limited on a busy Friday/Saturday night or if they are having a special for dinner, so definitely make reservations! We came for late lunch on Saturday and it was fairly quiet. Needless to say, since it's off the beaten path we sometimes forget this gem is here but when we remember we never regret it!

We live around the area kept saying to ourselves throughout the night "why haven't we been here before? We've been missing out on such good food" There seems to be a lot of seating both inside and outside so that's a plus since we were able to get seated right away without a reservation on a Friday night. (they were already pretty busy) Our waitress was so friendly and super attentive even with all the tables she had. Now on to the food! Everything was cooked to perfection and beautifully plated. You could tell that whoever is cooking genuinely cares about the food that is coming out of that kitchen. To start we ordered the Spinach Artichoke Dip w/ Garlic Parm Crostini and the Antipasto Salad. (Not pictured) Everything came out in great portions to share and even the crostinis were packed full of flavor which brought the dip up another notch. The salad was fresh, colorful and absolutely delicious. For our entree we both ordered the Steak Frites-cooked medium. Both of our steaks were cooked to perfection and the chimichurri was herby, savory and even had a little bite to it-it was phenomenal. To add to the mix the frites had parm & garlic to make them even tastier To finish, after a very long day- we knew that an affogato would just finish this meal off perfectly and we were right. It was delicious and the candied walnuts were such a nice touch to add for texture. (My husband now has a new favorite dessert) Needless to say we will absolutely be back, and more than likely bringing many others in tow to share an absolutely wonderful meal!
