We wound up tonite at the Blackrock Tavern in Thomaston, which, as I thiught I remebered reading one time, is owned by the same chef/owner as At the Corner. We were quite pleased. The rib eye steak with au poivre sauce was enjoyed as was the scallop entree. The fish and chips looked it came from a whale, it was huge and nicely done in a beer batter. The chocolate mousse 'Mountain' was an outrageous dessert and enjoyed by the choc-o-haulics in the group. One dessert.....3 spoons....and we still didn't finish it! All very reasonably priced at $120 for three and each of us had a cocktail. We'd go back. I agree on your comment re: The Village Restaurant in Litchfield...nothing to write home about....very basic. We passed Crabby Al's on the way into Thomaston....the place was jumpin'!!! I think we'll give it a try one nite.

Been to the West st Grill many times over the years. Always one of the best around. Also have been to the The Corner (on the corner right in the center of town) to be good. Tonite we've decided to meet friends (who come up from Woodbridge) at the Black Rock Tavern in Thomaston. (never been there....have you)?).

Thanx. Actually, we have a place on Cape Cod so we generally stay away from seafood while 'inland'. This sound like it could be comfy, convenient and worth a shot. If the person in the kitchen loves what he/she does then it could be a pleasant surprise. I'll let ya know. Thanx again. Lillygirl.

Looking for some good restaurants for dinner between waterbury CT and torrington CT which about 1/2 way to meet with friends who come north and us, who go south. Nice midway meet up point.
