Seconding this, I live down the road. Pulcinella is a much better pizza, the bar gets super busy so you need to get there early if you want to grab a drink during happy hour.

Many, many, many years ago... It was good, not great.

I've always had good luck there and some top meals. It's a nice space. I thought the wine was pricey.

We finally got there in the spring. It was as good as advertised. I actually thought the entree was better than what you typically get at Union League.

Been there many times, most recently two weekends ago. Very good dinner, better apps. The bone marrow is a must try if it's your first visit. Again, I think it's very good, but not in the top tier with Millwright's, Le Petit Cafe, Oyster Club (no, not S&P, which sucks), On20, and Union League. I'd put it on a par with Viron Rondo, Good News Cafe, and Marketplace in Woodbury.

In the Northwest corner of CT, the place to go is The Woodland Restaurant in Lakeville. Casual yet an upscale menu.

A Review of the Woodland Restaurant, in Lakeville
If you can’t find something to please your palate on the Woodland Restaurant’s three-page menu, you must not be trying.

I grew up in Bantam. It used to be considered the “Raggie” section of Litchfield. My how times have changed.

Exactly, it's funny to me.
Pretty much every restaurant has a mens room.

Best restaurant in the state. If the tasting menu is available, do it.

Here's my take on Millwright's. Dinner tasted amazing. Went out for drinks afterwards and got wings and fries because we were all still hungry. And I'm not someone who needs the American supersized meal portions. It just wasn't enough food and the 4 of us all agreed.

That has never been my experience there. Always had plenty to eat. However we often do the tasting menu, and if we don't we are ordering apps. It gets expensive, but IMO it is well worth it.

I'll admit that's fair. I haven't done the tasting menu which would be more of a blank canvas. Off the menu, a standard app/entree/dessert left me hungry.
To also be fair, I've eaten at Present Company a few times and if you sit at "the bar" in front of the kitchen, you get a lot more food/tastes interacting with the cook staff so the tasting menu is apparently the way to go....
