The Hopkins Inn & Restaurant

Elizabeth Johnson

This is my family’s favorite restaurant and we have been going here since there was still a cat roaming around during dinner and the tables were made of tiles (a long time!) You cannot beat the view and atmosphere here when you sit outside on a summer night. The only thing I wish is that they would update the menu, or at least the specials. I feel like it’s been the same specials for years (except the soft shell crab has fallen off the specials the last few times I’ve gone). With so many wonderful local ingredients available from Litchfield county, it would be exciting to feature some of these. I will always love the bread and rosti potatoes, but a little something new would be nice, in addition to the old standbys.

Great food and drinks! Four of us ate entirely different meals and everyone commented on how great the food tasted and looked. Service was excellent, too! We rented the apartment and it was fine. Not modern and new but everything was clean ...and we knew what it looked like before we booked it. Nice getting up in the morning to amazing views. We were looking for peaceful and the Inn is in a very peaceful area. We thought we'd hear the chatter of diners in front, but we didnt. Recommend a reservation on Sunday afternoons.

After years of driving by decided to try this place for an anniversary dinner. The setting couldn’t be better. It was a warm spring evening and we sat on the patio with a gorgeous view of the lake and hills. The food was good and service just attentive enough. Will definitely be back.

Due to it being a winter stay we weren't able to try the restaurant but we really liked the room for our short getaway. It was spotless, warm and cozy with outside temperatures in the teens. At 2 am on a Saturday night, due to myself not paying attention, I accidentally locked the keys in the bathroom. I reluctantly had to contact the provided telephone number, which brought the owner in no time, she was able to open it and retrieve them for me. I really appreciated their excellent service. We will be visiting again soon. Beautiful setting any time of year.
