Clearly I’ve been missing out. I drive by The North House daily to and from work over Avon Mountain. To think this gem has been here all this time and I’m only now discovering it!
It snowed today and it felt like the perfect opportunity for a warm tavern lunch. The North House didn’t disappoint. Vera provided excellent care from water to the check – positive demeanor, good humor, attentive, great eye contact and presented like she truly enjoyed being there, so we totally matched her vibe. Our son believes that any restaurant with Tavern in the name MUST have great wings and he was not disappointed. The weather inspired me to have the French Onion Soup and it was delicious! Crab cakes, Caesar salad, Steak Frites – every dish was fantastic. We splurged and had dessert too – a giant slice of chocolate cake and the deep dish cookie (which our son smelled on the way to another table and he couldn’t get over how awesome it smelled, so he immediately set his sights on that). When we mentioned we’d seen a foodie review on IG, Adam came over to chat with us because does their social media accounts. Really, really great staff who clearly care about what they do and making the experience wonderful for their guests. We’ll be back!

Love the authentic and rustic environment, truly one of a kind! Server named MARIA + DYLAN made me feel very special on my birthday. Hostesses included Sara were also very friendly. The short ribs were my fav but the salmon and steak frites also were delicious! Would definitely be back!

I do not understand why this restaurant only has a 4.4 rating when it deserves much more than 5 stars. The atmosphere, calm and relaxing, the service amazing!! Matthew was very pleasant and professional, most importantly attentive. The food, OMG, DELICIOUS!!!! I highly recommend it.

Really lovely old building…we ask for the old forge room. Limited menu on New Year’s day but lovely. Always great service. The cozyiest place in Connecticut to dine. Historic.

A beautiful setting with great food. The beef Wellington was insanely tender and I wish I could order the gravy that comes with it by the gallon.

The cookie on a skillet with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce at the end was out of control indulgent but I have to answer for that. The food was generally very good and the garlic in the scallop risotto was quite generous, which is great if you like garlic. The duck magret dish was excellent. They were kind enough to turn off one of the televisions in the dining room on request but in this screen saturated world this is really one place where there shouldn’t be any. If you can’t enjoy a nice dinner with family or friends without needing a big TV, it’s kind of sad. The north house is aiming for a high-end experience and a TV clashes with that. The bar area and entrance are very cozy, but the dining room could use a bit of decoration. Service is friendly and punctual.

We went for Santa Brunch and were blown away by the Santa, he was so sweet and kind, but also blown away by the atmosphere and food. During a busy season, this is something we will slot in year after year. The food was incredible and the atmosphere and smell of the fire is something out of a movie. Thanks for a wonderful experience, we will be back!

We recently went to The North House in Avon for happy hour and had a great time. The snacks were tasty, drinks were well-made, and the bartenders were super friendly and attentive.
Nice atmosphere and a solid spot to relax after work. Will definitely be back.
