It can be hard to find a remote restaurant in the fourth most populous state in the country. Even in small towns, the art and dining tends to get grouped in to one central location. But the ever dependable Quiet Corner has delivered once again, offering a small picture perfect town with an even smaller family friendly restaurant. Consider taking advantage of a long weekend with a scenic drive through Northeastern Connecticut and a pit stop at this charming locale.
Grill 37 in Pomfret Center offers a comfortable, home-like atmosphere.
As you pull into the drive, you'll feel more like you're visiting a friend than a steakhouse. It's no wonder Norwich Magazine voted this place Best Atmosphere! The charm doesn't stop at the driveway either. So get ready to have an unforgettable dining experience!
Check out that gazebo! The lush green lawn is complemented by an arch entryway, a classic white picket fence and plenty of flowers. The trees that grow around the property appear to engulf the yard, and in some places, the restaurant itself. You'll feel like you're hidden in the woods.
Dining beside a fireplace offers a more intimate dining experience, making this place a great spot for a romantic date. But no matter who you bring, they're sure to be impressed by this comfortable, at-home setting. And the food!
No matter what time of day you dine here, you're sure to find something on the menu you love. From Eggs Benedict to Coconut Crusted Fish & Chips, Grill 37 puts bold flavors on the plate in a vibrant and colorful way. Enjoying these meals in the peace and quiet of this spot's foliage is the way dining in Connecticut was meant to be done!
This seating offers a more traditional setting, except for the awesome skylights. You can avoid poor weather and allergies without having to sacrifice the feeling of being outdoors in this bright corner of the restaurant. There's plenty of seating options here, so you get a say in the style of dining you're looking for. Whether you're dining alone or bringing the whole family, there's a spot for you!
The outdoor seating puts you under a canopy of leaves.
Feel the light breeze as you enjoy happy hour and soak in the peace and quiet this place has to offer. This traditional deck offers a great experience, especially when there's live music!
Ready to make the drive? Grill 37 is not too far off the 169, so the trip up is scenic! It can be found at 37 Putnam Road, Pomfret Center.
If you think checking out a remote restaurant is cool, imagine being wined and dined as a steam train takes you on a scenic tour. The Essex Steam Train offers exactly that! So book your trip and show us what you find on Instagram @onlyinconnecticut to have your photos featured!
