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!

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.

When you picture your wedding day, you imagine everything you've dreamed about your entire life…read morecoming together perfectly. While nothing could take away the joy of marrying my best friend, Da Capo of Litchfield came incredibly close to overshadowing what should have been one of the happiest days of our lives. December 17, we met with one of Da Capo's managers during a casual lunch. We mentioned that we were planning a June wedding, and she enthusiastically told us that Da Capo had hosted weddings before and would be happy to accommodate ours. She painted a beautiful picture of what our day could be. We loved the restaurant, especially the garden, and after that conversation, we were excited to book our wedding there. It felt like the perfect place. A few weeks before our wedding, we finalized our menu with management. We selected an Apple Harvest Salad, Fried Calamari, Da Capo Chips, Rigatoni Bolognese, Chicken Piccata, Penne alla Vodka, bread, assorted desserts, coffee, tea, and soda. We were quoted $46 per person for our 40 guests, and everything appeared to be in order. The morning of our wedding was when everything began to fall apart. We arrived early to decorate, only to find the venue filthy. We had specifically been told that the deck would be power washed before our wedding because we planned to hang wisteria flowers, decorate the space, set up an arch, and arrange the tables ourselves. Instead, there was only one employee there--a cook who also handled landscaping. He had absolutely no idea there was a wedding taking place that day. Shortly afterward, the manager called my husband--not to welcome us or apologize--but to question what he was doing because the owners had seen us on the security cameras hanging our decorations and were upset. Nothing had been prepared. Nothing had been set up. It immediately became obvious that our wedding had not been communicated or planned properly. My husband kept all of this from me while I was getting ready because he didn't want anything to ruin what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. Looking back, I'm incredibly grateful that he carried that burden so I could simply focus on marrying the man I love. Unfortunately, the problems didn't end there. When we arrived for our reception, we were told that Da Capo "doesn't normally do weddings"--a shocking statement considering they were the ones who encouraged us to book our wedding months earlier and assured us they had hosted weddings before. To make matters worse, there was only **one server assigned to care for 40 guests.** One server was expected to take drink orders, serve appetizers, organize the buffe, refill beverages, clear tables, and serve dessert. This was unfair to our guests and especially unfair to the server, who worked tirelessly and did everything she possibly could. She deserved support that management failed to provide. The food was another enormous disappointment. There was simply **not enough food for the 40 guests we paid for.** Many of our family members barely had anything to eat. Several guests commented that portions were gone before everyone had been served. As the bride, I hardly had an opportunity to eat, and my husband barely ate either. It was heartbreaking to realize that our guests--people who came to celebrate one of the most important days of our lives--left hungry. The professionalism from management was equally disappointing. Rather than acknowledging the problems or attempting to make things right, they were rude and dismissive toward my husband throughout the day. During our wedding ceremony, there were other patrons standing on the deck overlooking our ceremony, creating distractions during one of the most intimate moments of our lives. When my husband respectfully mentioned this concern, instead of apologizing or showing understanding, management responded with attitude and made him feel as though he had no right to even bring it up. On a day when we expected compassion and professionalism, we were instead met with disrespect. What disappointed us the most happened after the wedding. We reached out to management in hopes of discussing what had gone wrong and giving them an opportunity to acknowledge our concerns. Instead, we were met with more attitude and defensiveness. There was no genuine apology, no accountability, and no indication that they understood why we were so disappointed. The overall impression was that they believed everything had gone perfectly and that our concerns simply didn't matter. As customers who entrusted them with one of the most important days of our lives, that response was incredibly disheartening. No couple should have to worry about venue staff, inadequate food, poor communication, or rude treatment on their wedding day. Even more importantly, no couple should have their legitimate concerns dismissed after the fact. DaCapo gets 0 stars what once was a place we loved we will never patronize again.

We're briefly updating our commentary about the Bantam Market, but our thoughts about it haven't…read morechanged all that much. It remains a small, independently owned store with a surprisingly full stock, lots of fresh meats, deli items, produce, a large beer cooler with all the local and foreign brands you night desire, and a very friendly and helpful staff. We're especially fond of the nice folks behind the deli counter. Our complaints are about the same: the prices hover on the high side. The prices are generally quite a bit higher than the nearby Stop and Shop, but honestly, the quality of their locally produced items is far higher. Still, if you're buying some basics like soup or milk, you'll pay more here, and some prices can be really way up there. Sometimes we're frustrated by that, other times we're grateful to find some delicious fresh fish or prepared salads. Bantam is not our first market of choice, but we're here regularly for some things we like and want.

But if you're looking for unique food items, this is your place. For me, I stop in often just to pick up some fried chicken from the deli, it's the best around -- juicy & meaty, but not greasy, and the coating is very tasty. $6.99 a pound. That fried chicken is 5 Stars every time. Friendly crew, but the checkout can be a bit of a process though, the place does a brisk business, and the parking lot is always full.
