    Loved the Irish Music. Very nice touch. Not too loud. Perfect to for listening and talking. Simon is excellent. Remembers customers, is considerate of special needs and is warm and welcoming. We are pleased as Litchfield residents to have a restaurant that is different and special. Owners thought out of the box to give us something new. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the rooftop opening soon. A welcome addition to town.

    It was quite pricey Had the beets for an appetizer, it was quite good,nowever, the portion of beets was very sparse. beets are not an expensive vegetable,so the portion certainly should have been mpre substancile.
