This year's party of five dined on the patio. We sampled their clam chowder and onion soup ... both brought smiles and yummy noises. One party goer had the mussels and loved that hugh bowl of fresh tasting and well spiced sea food. I went full carnivore and had the steak ... pricy at $44 but perfectly cooked, tender and served with a fresh cut mound of fries. Dessert for me was the noise and it rocked. Others had cream brûlée and it too earned high marks. Why not 5 stars? There were a couple of minor service faux pas so I like to keep it real. But 4 stars are all well earned. And, I will be back at our next car club event. Recommended.

We arrived and sat outside on the terrace. The road nearby was not too loud and the terrace was great shade on a warm day. We ordered gazpacho, ratatouille, onion soup, and clams linguini. Importantly, I almost NEVER order clams at restaurants. My family and I dig and eat at least a thousand clams a year in Rhode Island and I always assume and expect that no place can prepare them as well or as freshly. When the dish arrived I saw three cherrystones on top and figured this would be a small plate for a big price. I was completely wrong. The dish was better than anything I've made or had out. Full of tender chopped clams, the flavor and sauce were superb and the bread was excellent. We finished the meal with the pastry desert (cream puff with ice cream and chocolate sauce) and a merengue floating on a vanilla sauce. Both were wonderful. The service was great- Emelina (?) was very attentive and gave us spot on advice (and some basic French lessons) with a smile. The owner, Rober, also stopped by to make sure our experience was good. I would recommend strongly to anyone in the area who appreciates fine dining without too much fuss or to anyone wondering what French food is really like.

Unimpressed. For a…read moreplace within 2 hours of NYC there's no excuse for their baked goods not being on point. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese. The bagel was tiny, doughy and tough. I also ordered a jalapeño cheese scone. I was told it was locally baked and had my hopes up, but while its flavor was good it was doughy. The ambience here is nice. It's quaint and quiet. They have counter service. Service speed was good. I've attached my copy of the receipt. I felt very "nickel and dimed." I mean, $1.50 for a smear of cream cheese?? On the plus side, the espresso is great! Their bean has a tiny bit of bitterness blended with the right amount of sweetness. I'd stop by here for the coffee every time. But if I was hungry, I'd get that coffee to go and eat elsewhere. Bon appétit.

Time and time again, a disappointment.

Now, if you ask for a substitute type of bread on a sandwich, they'll say no. And the attitude? This is the worst example of poor customer service ever. I didn't hear my mocha being called because it was very noisy, but I got up and picked up the wrong drink, and when I returned it (because it wasn't mine) the young lady barista said "I called out mint mocha," very snobbishly and looking like "shame on you, you drank it and now I have to throw it out." It's a very loud place and I never heard the "mint" part. Yet she looked at me like I was a pond scum, and I ruined her life because she'd have ti make another drink. I watched her remove take the drink that I had taken a sip of, and call out the proper name for that drink and then she looked at me, and made sure I saw her throw it out, while disgusted with me. No grace, no respect for the very people she's paid to serve. The most egregious of all failures is a 3" inch by 1" 3/4 Insult pumpkin cake. $6.75. No larger than a key! Nearly seven dollars for 50 cents of ingredients. Obnoxious, insulting and the last straw! Three people in line complained and two-seated also remarked how ridiculous it was! We approached each other and commiserated. They live in Millerton too. I'm done with this place. Done, done done. As a local, I'm disgusted and ticked off. And, the fact that feel they can do this without repercussions is a testament to their hubris, and the detachment they have with this community. This is not NYC. We are not just passing through. We live here. Be considerate of this. They won't get my $50 a week ever again.

We made a special trip from Rochester to visit our favorite tea company, and once again Harney &…read moreSons delivered an exceptional experience from start to finish. We reserved a private room for our lunch party, which made the whole visit feel relaxed and personal. We started with pots of Peach White Tea and Salted Caramel Black Tea -- both brewed perfectly and a great way to ease into the afternoon. For appetizers, the Tea Cheese Toasts were very yummy, but the Okonomi Tater Tots absolutely stole the show. Tater tots with okonomi sauce, Kewpie mayo, furikake, and scallions shouldn't be allowed to be this good. Our sandwiches -- the Croque Monsieur and the Teagan -- were delightful and well executed. And then came the scones. Warm, tender, and served with clotted cream and strawberry jam, they were the perfect finish. Service throughout lunch was impeccable, attentive without ever feeling rushed. After eating, we headed into the shop for a tasting and some browsing. The tasting room team guided us through Winter White Earl Grey, Rose Scented, Scottish Morn, and Pu‑Erh, helping us zero in on teas we'd love. The shop itself is beautifully organized, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. We've been fans of Harney & Sons for years, and this visit reminded us exactly why we keep coming back. Great food, world‑class tea, warm service, and a destination worth traveling for. We love this place and will absolutely be back again.

LOCATION: The cafe is located near the town park at the beginning of charming Main Street. It is close to the Appalachian Trail, so the cafe is an especially welcoming destination for hikers. CONCEPT: Off the Trail Cafe is a place where community members, as well as visitors from afar, are welcomed to refresh, connect, and relax. EXPERIENCE: The cafe is open every day except Wednesday until 3 PM. The menu is evolving, but what is apparent is a commitment to support and showcase other businesses in the region. For example, Litchfield-based Peaches N' Cream ice cream and Millerton's Harney & Sons teas are served, and on Saturday mornings you'll find fresh donuts from North Canaan-based Pastries by Hanna in the pastry case. (Hopefully-- they don't last long!) AMBIANCE: The setting is relaxed, welcoming of all, with no pressure to leave. SERVICE: Items are ordered at the counter. TIP: The inclusion of a children's play area also highlights a value for making everybody feel welcomed to spend time in the cafe.
