Restaurants near Alvord Park

Our server was so sweet and everything went well! Thank you!

We hadn’t been back to DaCapos in quite awhile and we’re glad we returned! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great! The only suggestion I would make is to spread the tables out a bit. People were squeezed into the dining room which made it feel like you were too close to other patrons. We will return again in the future.

Arethusa has always been a great experience. They sweat the details and operate as if they expect to be a perpetual 5 star restaurant. There are hints of well-considered minutiae everywhere you look. For example, a glass saucer arrived on a desert plate that had a small cutout of tacky shelf liner material. My guest and I were impressed that the shelf liner was there so the saucer wouldn't slide off the plate. Water is offered either carbonated or flat. You will be given complimentary fresh made bread, and probably a shot of cold cucumber soup (or seasonal flavor of their choosing). Flavors are expertly honed and curated. Plates arrive at the table photo-ready and impressively organized. Best to choose not to look at the menu prices, and cost is sort of besides the point here. It is as fancy a dining experience as you will get in the county of Litchfield, CT. Appetizers and entrees have relatively small portion sizes, but each bite is to be savored. The gourmet cheeseboard is a necessity, as is the savory lamb belly, as are the pork dumplings, as is the tuna tartare with homemade potato chips.... I have never had a bad morsel of food here. Staff is beyond attentive; telekinetic is a more apt word. They see and sense exactly when to engage and usually do the right thing at the right time. Bonus: they are also associated with a working dairy farm and make their own ice cream. And it is THAT good.

Excellent server, she went out of her way to make us feel comfortable on my wife’s birthday. Food was very good.

Food is as great. The Christmas decorations and ambience were delightful 🎄🎄🎄
