Hopkins Inn
(Shore of Lake Waramaug, New Preston, Litchfield County)
Essex Clipper Dinner Train (Essex and Lower CT River Valley dining car)
Cobb’s Mill Inn
(woods, old mill pond and Waterfall, Weston)
Paragon ("Restaurant in the sky" at the Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Mashantucket)
Apricots
(Farmington)
Located right on the banks of the Farmington River, Apricots is an autumn
delight, serving lunch and dinner every day in a casual pub and more formal
dining room, and also an outdoor patio for warm days.
Sharpe Hill Vineyard Restaurant
(Pomfret)
Many of the glories of eastern Connecticut in autumn can be viewed from the
dining room and terrace here. Open for Friday dinner and Saturday and Sunday
lunch, Sharpe Hill makes a perfect base for further exploration of the area.
Fresh Salt
(Saybrook Point Inn and Spa, aOld Saybrook)
. Water views change in autumn, too, although perhaps a little more subtly
than in the countryside. Take in the freshening breezes and long, clear
views over dishes of impeccably fresh seafood.
Harbour House
Inn at Mystic (Mystic)
Another good saltwater view can be found up the coast at the freshly
renovated Inn at Mystic. Fresh local oysters from the raw bar at the inn's
Harbour House restaurant seem especially tangy in fall.
Stonehenge
(Ridgefield)
Here’s a Connecticut destination of long standing (Elizabeth Taylor once spent her
wedding night here) where the dining room overlooks a pond and the trees beyond.
Gelston House Restaurant and Inn
(East Haddam)
Immerse yourself in the many fine views of the Connecticut River Valley, then repair
to the Gelston House or adjoining, less formal GH Gastro Pub for lunch or dinner.
Golden Lamb Buttery
(Brooklyn)
. A unique offering in eastern Connecticut, the Golden Lamb sits on 1,000 acres of rural
pastureland, and your dinner begins with a cocktail and a hayride. Lunch is served, too.
