Great vibe and great food! Happy and helpful staff with a specials board that is constantly changing. Many items were sold out, which is always a good sign!

The Norfolk Pub has a old timey tavern feel, with excellent food and a familiar seeming neighborhood bar. There are many specials to choose from and the regular menu is more than adequate, a nice homey place in a picturesque setting.

My wife and I took a little site seeing tour around Norfolk area and needed to eat. The pub was the only place open and we are very happy we stayed! It sends misleading at first if you walk into the dining area because there’s no guest area but don’t worry, walk straight in and talk to a waitress or you can go to the far door into the bar. This place has great atmosphere and great food! I suggest making reservations in advance to get seated. We were lucky to get a table in the bar area. They also have a few outdoor tables if the weather’s nice. I think we might go back another time and make an evening of it with the theater right next door! Great place.

Great experience. Staying just across the line in Mass and wanted to visit a pub to have a short date night while on vacation. With the kids staying with family, we went for a drink and to pick up a handful of appetizers for everyone since we had a really late lunch. Food was great, service was good, cool building, and met Stormin Norman! Great place to go and will go back when in the area. As a southerner, I love these cool places in very small towns!

Excellent Reuben. The marbled rye was the best part. Nice stack of quality corned beef. The service was very good and the entire staff were into their gig. Cool bar ambiance and a nice local crowd. Great beer selection also.

This restaurant gave me one of my most incredible birthday dinners and it makes an impressive list that includes exceptional eateries in different states and countries. Really phenomenal food.

I regret as a GM local guide their grill was one of the first reviews I ever posted, (see below under the hashtag) and so like many new reviewers I wrote very few words and little detail. I couldn’t even tell you what we ate as I did not take any photos – either because I didn’t have my phone/camera with me, or I hadn’t thought to do this yet, again, just beginning this undertaking. My partner and I dine out a lot and it may be we’d just eaten in so many places I was picky. Or, maybe the lunch was just okay. Regardless, my opinion today of their dinner service, is it’s a place worth driving a distance to or if you’re within the area worth frequenting.

Though retro, I still love the idea of disposable table coverings that allow patrons to draw on them with provided crayons. The first time I experienced this was at Café Un Deux Trois in Manhattan in the eighties, so this concept goes back awhile. Love that Wood Creek Bar & Grill still does this, whether it’s for kids or adults. Candles lit should always be a part of your experience at any fine dining establishment. Special menu items should be special or favorites.

Back to the dinner. Having a spontaneous day, we did not have reservations and could have been dressed less casually, but we were in formal casual wear, if you will, meaning this is not a place you need to wear a suit or cocktail dress, but perhaps reconsider tube socks and tank tops. They found us a table on the small upper level to the right of the door where we’d had lunch for my original review.

Let’s get to the food. The scallop appetizer was unforgettable. It may be the best I’ve ever had, and for those that read my reviews you know I’m working on a top ten list for this dish. It’s hard to do because often the scallop starter is a special, as this was, so for that reason it can’t make the list as it’s not always available. However, if and when you’re at Wood Creek Bar & Grill, and this is on the menu, by all means order them as either an appetizer (two) or dinner (four). Or, get two of each. We realized after each having one, we could have easily had a second. The arancini (fried rice ball) stuffed with mozzarella and prosciutto was also perfect.

Our entrées were equally spectacular. One is still a regular menu item, fortunately – the pan seared duck breast. Unbelievable. Moist, depth in flavor with a raspberry demi glace, accompanying mashed potatoes and squash. A special menu fresh haddock with wild rice and the same squash was above par. Light and gratifying. The accompanying salads with dinner were also noteworthy. The bartender did a fine job with our cocktails.

Great tavern feel, friendly neighborhood bar, always a lot of specials to choose from in addition to their regular menu. The bartender, Lindsey is the best! Pictured is the strawberry goat cheese salad with chicken off the specials menu, and it’s definitely one of my favorites!

Amazing little hidden gem in the Litchfield Hills. Best duck dinner I’ve had it twice never disappoints. Great food, chill cozy atmosphere in downtown Norfolk.

Everything was great! Although some menu items had changed, so when the food came out it was different than the menu. It was still delicious! The atmosphere is quaint and cozy.

Dinner at the Norfolk Pub turned out to be an outstanding dining experience. Fine food and warm hospitality make for an outstanding combination on a cold night, especially in a town as beautiful as Norfolk, Connecticut. We made our way through the crowd in the bar area, to be greeted by friendly waitstaff and our hostess/owner Heidi. The food was really wonderful; my girlfriend ordered the salmon, which the chef happily cooked to order, and I ordered the seafood over linguine, which was both delicious and so large we took it home and I enjoyed it for two more nights. We were so full we decided to skip dessert, although we have our eye on the Haystack Mountain Sundae, a local landmark that is visible from the large free parking area downtown. Next time! Consider the Norfolk Pub highly recommended.
