Everything was a solid 10. The unassuming exterior belies the elegant ambience inside the restaurant. Food was outstanding, starting with the creative and tasty amuse. The appetizer of beet and apple was delicious and the main course of salmon was great and presented beautifully. Our waiter Julian gets 10 out of 5 stars.

The food was absolutely delicious! The scallops with pumpkin risotto was amazing and the portion was huge! My husband loved his pasta dish, as well. But the icing on the cake was our server, Maddie. She was probably the best server we have ever experienced. Friendly, accommodating and just so sweet-and professional. At The Corner is lucky to have her. A great dinner, in every way. Thsnks, Maddie!

A gem in Litchfield! Interesting menu, prepared with care and nicely presented. The pairing of duck breast with almost raw turnips may not be everyone’s cup of tea though. Service was friendly and attentive; the assortment of wines carefully chosen. For dessert I had a daring sorbet of berries and anise. Ummm. We will certainly go back on our next visit to Litchfield to sample some more items at this elegant venue.
