New American Restaurants near Kent, CT

“We did the chef’s tasting menu and I also got the wine pairings. Every single wine pairing was an absolutely phenomenal complement to each dish (except for the last one, which was “merely” a good match for the dish). The Smoked Gold cocktail was definitely a highlight too. We are looking forward to returning when more produce is in season since they source it locally.“

“I have gone to the Fife since I was a child. My grandfather used to take my sister and I to fine dining establishments to show us manners, and likely food we were never aware of. Some of my fondest memories are being taken to the Fife, as my grandfather and Dolph were friends. if a restaurant had a piano bar? High on his list. I remember many a night listening to his Irish tenor against Dolph, and Ephraim Zimbalist Jr. While I am local, it's just far enough to not be my local place. but last year, I decided that we would have Easter lunch there. While it is a time capsule memory for me, the food is stellar. It is the very essence of New England cooking slightly reimagined. it is seriously old school and I love that. The Fife has likely changed through the times, but they offer a wide array. The service is perfect. You are not waited on by just one, but the whole staff. As someone who worked in every facet of restaurants while getting my career off, I know how valuable a team they have. Trust me when I say, this is an unpretentious local gem that really shines. I am so happy that even while Dolph is gone, his legacy continues. Our late lunch today was lovely. I am always transported to a different time. the music is always wonderful. We will always return for special occasions, if not more regularly than Easter dinner.“

“It's a great place to sit down and have a nice dinner. Their pizza is pan pizza so if you're looking for New York style this is not the place but they're pan pizza is pretty good. I've also had a few of their dinners and their appetizers and the food is top-notch great place if you're in the Kent area. They also have a bar and an outside patio which I cannot review as I have not been there when it's warm yet and I have not tended to the bar but the atmosphere looked pretty great on the bar side.“

“Ten Mile Distillery scored big when they secured this collaboration. Featuring an ever-changing, locally sourced menu delivered out of a cute Airstream. Chef Molly and team consistently manage to put something new, surprising, and delicious in every meal. That's a magic trick in and of itself. Worth stopping in when they're not slammed with weekenders.“

“So I just wanted to update a previous review. We had been to the Whitehorse approximately four years ago and had a negative experience. We have been back since and the quality of food is much more flavorful less salty less fatty. The staff was helpful kind. And the ambience was fantastic. They sat us right in front of the fireplace. It was for my birthday dinner and I really enjoyed the entire setting. We were comfortable the entire time and everyone was kind. We have also since been back at a larger family with my in-laws, sister-in-law, nieces, nephews, etc. and had a brunch that was fantastic.“
