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 have a tradition of free peanuts in the shells and people dump the shells on the floor. I can't quite get used to doing that but others do. The chocolate chip skillet sundae is the best. They bring it to the table heated and it is fantastic!

I have been here a few times, but not in a long time! The food is always good. The outside and the…read moreinside are so beautiful. Lots of seating is available in both places. 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!

One of Torrington's best new restaurants. Don't underestimate its quality and freshness. Friendly…read morestaff, home made chips and astoundingly delicious guacamole. Not too salty or acidic, but rather, savory, rich and creamy, and a veritable meal unto itself. I got three tacos with shrimp, carne, and fried cod. Super high quality ingredients. The carne was a little dry but easily remedied with the green tomato salsa. The food at the other tables was equally impressive. Especially the grilled octopus. I saw many remnants from Hanks, the previous restaurant, but it was lighter and more colorful and festive, with hanging banners, and friendly upbeat bar tenders and hosts, who were genuinely hospitable and attentive. We will be back to experience the rooftop dining as the weather allows.

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 found the Village Restaurant to be a great place for dinner.

The Spiedini was a great combination of flavors. The bang bang fish wrap was a hearty meal, if a bit one note texturally. The salmon crab cake sandwich came in a little dry due to the ratio of bun to cake, might not get again, and instead go for one of the other awesome looking options on the sandwich and entree menus. Overall it was a nice lunch stop with polite service.

Was visiting the area of Litchfield and selected SWG for dinner. We were not disappointed and…read moreactually was pleasantly surprised with the quality and preparation of the food. Dana, our waitress, was wonderful, pleasant and attentive to our needs. The jumbo shrimp cocktails were fresh, large and delicious. The house salad was fresh and the salad dressing made it even better. Yummy! Selected the rare peppered tuna which came out perfectly prepared along with veggies and rice or potatoes. Finished with the churro/ice cream dessert which was overwhelming and delicious. The only downside was the room we sat in was a bit tight and nothing special but will be back for the food and service and sit outside next time!

The gentleman that greeted us was very friendly and welcoming. Due to COVID we weren't permitted inside which I find to be very challenging as I typically like to see what I'm purchasing. They had a whiteboard that listed all the fish and additional items for sale but no pricing which I found to be a bit awkward and would unfortunately make us not return until we would be able to go inside. I felt very caught off guard when I was told the total price and there was no itemized receipt provided. Overall quality of the fish was very fresh & delicious but shopping experience would make me think twice before returning.

They have lots of entertainment- which looked fun if we lived closer. A queen boil with crawfish added (we would skip these in the future), loaded tots, and a bacon cheeseburger basket cost $125- with sodas. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was nostalgic. The band setting up as we left looked fun. It was like a little hidden gem in a strip mall. Not a place for top dining experience- but a fun place to eat and hang out.

First visit to the O Joe's North location - understanding I/we love the original. It exceeded every possible expectation. Food is terrific - has the same standard as Watertown, but our wings were cooked even better. Fresh, hot, crispy, juicy. Definitely the best Ordinary Joe's wings we've had (and we have a lot of them, often). The food options are clearly rooted in the original concept. However, there are some more/different options here. Everything looked and smelled fantastic. I look forward to investigating further. Our server, Vanessa, earned 25 stars on her own. She was attentive, personable, yet worked quickly and accurately - manning a full bar and dining room simultaneously - while making us feel like we were the only ones in the joint. Manager/(Owner?) Paul was terrific as well. Stepped in to ensure all tables had what they needed, were clean, and everyone happy. It was truly noticeable that customer service is a priority for the team. Building is new/redone/beautiful. Similar, iconic O Joe's feel and decorating - yes, the gridiron is painted on the ceiling. Just a great space. Great vibe. Eat-off-the-floor clean. Simply can't wait to go back. And, again, I am so lucky to have proximity to both locations. **Just one note for families who may go with children or teenage boys (like me)... The service is so great, no one at the table will have an empty glass for long... that's a really positive thing. But, fair warning, soft drink refills are NOT free (nor should they be, frankly). However, with an 18 and 16 yr old in my party...those Cokes accumulate quickly.
