Incredible eatery on all accounts!!! This restaurant expertly serves up locally sourced dishes that satiate your taste buds and appetite. Chef Bolivar and company put on an excellent experience that is worth trying regularly! It is difficult to recommend just one highlight because everything was exquisite! You can’t go wrong here and I highly suggest dining here!!!

We had been meaning to come here since the Litchfield Jazz fest – OMG, why did we wait?!? Made it for Mother’s Day and had an unquestionable 6 star experience. It is off the beaten path which we really enjoy; a destination. The staff were welcoming, warm, inviting. The menu was tailored for Mother’s Day – prix-fixe with an array of options. The cocktails were innovative and absolutely amazing! Great wine & spirit selection. Desserts were otherworldly including a flourless chocolate cake the likes of which my palate has never experienced. A nice, relaxed atmosphere – a curated dining experience.

I recently dined at Community Table in Connecticut, and it was an outstanding experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with an inviting and elegant atmosphere. The service was truly exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel right at home.
The food was incredibly flavorful, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and bursting with taste. Community Table is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable meal in a lovely setting.

After our perfect dinner just four weeks ago with outstanding good food, we were very disappointed this time. The Earth’s Palate Lettuces were boring, the Head on Prawns didn’t taste and the composition hardly edible. My sons Skirt Steak was tasty but the vegetables very boring again. Do you have a new Chef?
The service was disappointing as well, not noticing several times that I wanted to order something although she was at the table. Overall not a nice experience for the price…
It’ll take a while to try again!

I have driven by this place more times than I can count & had no idea it was a restaurant until my colleague that became a very good friend told me to meet her there. It’s her favorite spot. Interior is so welcoming, the staff also. They have their regulars that come in that are treated like family. Gets pretty busy for really be out in the middle of nowhere. I don’t get service, but you are able to connect to their wifi. Pricing pretty high, so I’m not sure if I will return even if I wanted to!

My partner made reservations here for my birthday. This is the third time that we’ve been here and let me start off by saying that we have enjoyed this restaurant in the past. We arrived at 7:45 and we’re seated immediately. We sat in the front room along the banquette in the far right corner. There was a moldy smell in that corner almost reminded me of a dirty litter box. I couldn’t quite figure out what it was. We both started out with a French Chardonnay which was very good, I believe that was about $22 a glass. We ordered bread which was $12 to start as an appetizer along with the salad($18)with beets. The bread was pricey, but very good. The salad was also good, but there were not many beets in it. They were four small pieces of yellow beats, and the rest were thin slices of red beets. I am a meat eater so I ordered the Allen Ranch ribeye. Please look at my picture to see the size of the portion. Now I’m not a big eater, but I could not believe the size of the entrée for $46. Also, I’m just looking at the menu right now and although the description says it included Yukon gold potatoes, there were no potatoes on the plate. I have to say everything was very good but again for $46 I expected a ribeye steak on the platter, not two small pieces. I know times are tough, but this was a bit ridiculous. If it was a piece of filet mignon for $46 that might’ve been better. My partner had the salmon that he said was very good but again he said the portion size was very small. For dessert we both had the warm fallen bittersweet chocolate cake, that was very good. We would like to go back here again, but we’re going to think long and hard before we make that decision. For the two of us with the tip it was about $250.

I don’t know why it took us so long to get seated when we had reservations, but after we were seated, the service from our server was outstanding. The food was really delicious. My friend ordered three starters, and then we each had an entree. Everything was delicious. When it came to dessert, my friend couldn’t decide, so we got two. One of them was the lavender honey ice cream. Although it was flavorful, my friend said it tasted like a 3-wick candle from B&BW. After we finished laughing for five minutes, neither of us could stomach anymore because it really did taste like they used too much essential oil in making the ice cream. We drove an hour to get here but I don’t know if the drive was worth it. The food here is good, but I’ve had good food (and better seating service) at other restaurants.

I have so many feelings about this restaurant. First and foremost, the food is fantastic — truly stellar, especially for Litchfield County. You will be hard pressed to find a better meal in the area, with top-notch cocktails and delicious dishes. However, for the prices and tiny portions, one would have to expect Manhattan-level service — and unfortunately, this is where CT falls short. Servers seem a bit inexperienced, removing dishes before they are finished without asking, or lacking polish in order-taking. Personally, I’m okay with paying $15 (!) for a couple of slices of bread (which, for the record, were excellent) — but would expect the service to match.

The staff went above and beyond for my anniversary dinner last night by having a bottle of bubbly on ice and fresh flowers on the table. We started with the fresh warm rolls and honey butter, and the New England cheese board. Both were delicious. The rolls are so light and airy. And that butter is like crack, so addictive lol. My wife had the skirt steak as her entree and I ordered the Amish chicken. My chicken was so savory and the flavors mixed perfectly. My wife loved her steak and we ended up taking half home. For dessert I ordered a butterscotch pudding with roasted pistachios. It was absolutely delightful. The wife ordered the chocolate cornmeal cake with an ice cream that was to die for. The raspberry syrup was a bit too much for us, but we don’t like raspberries. I will definitely return to this establishment, it’s a 10/10 and a rare find in this state.

We booked Community Table for a birthday dinner and had high hopes, given its reputation as an upscale dining spot in the area. The atmosphere is lovely, and it feels like the kind of place you’d go for a special occasion. Unfortunately, the experience left us disappointed.
Our server recommended the ribeye for two, priced at $135. I specifically asked about the portion size since we were already ordering two appetizers, and she reassured us it was a “perfect portion for two.” In reality, the dish was enormous—easily enough for four people. The cut was massive (at least 3.5 inches thick, around 20 ounces per person) and came out undercooked. We had requested medium rare, but the steak was rare, which gave it a metallic, gamey taste. Because the cut was so thick, the fat hadn’t properly rendered, leaving the texture gloopy and unappetizing.
The steak was also completely unseasoned, and the accompanying cherry sauce was an odd pairing—far too sweet for such a fatty cut. The sides were vegetable-based, delicate, and actually quite good, but their scale and style made them feel more suited for a filet rather than such a heavy ribeye. My wife couldn’t eat more than a single piece of her steak, and when her plate was cleared, no one asked why most of her food was untouched. At restaurants of this caliber, that kind of attentiveness is usually expected.
We ended the meal with the profiterole, which was unfortunately hard as a rock. My wife ate it only because she was still hungry after not being able to stomach the steak.
What stung the most wasn’t just the food, but the lack of honesty and care. When a guest asks about portion size, accuracy matters—especially with such an expensive entree. It felt as though we were being upsold without transparency, and the lack of attentiveness when plates went back barely touched added to the disappointment.
In total, the bill came to about $400 for two people. Price is not an issue when the food and service are exceptional, but that simply wasn’t the case here. Sadly, while the setting was charming, the experience did not match the high expectations or the cost.
