This was a middling and overall disappointing experience given both the price point and hype. The new location in downtown Waterbury while nice, new, and clean, is soulless in comparison to the original location, it 's bright, sterile and very loud. The open floorplan does not make it feel like a special or unique place to eat. The food was honestly mediocre. The parker house rolls were the best thing we tried. Swordfish was overcooked and tough, the sauce while flavorful was quite bland. The duck was well cooked but the kale paired with it was bitter and rough, leaving a lot to be desired. The house made ice cream was quite good... But when the highlights of a $250 dinner for two were dinne...
I have eaten at both locations and work in hospitality. The team could not be more thorough and happy to be working there together. I was supposed to make my friends anniversary birthday dinner but couldn’t due to a bad motor vehicle accident I was in. Over the phone although busy Veda at the Waterbury location took the time to allow me to by my friends the entire dessert menu and read all of the options to me. An amazing assortment as always. She was so nice and informative by taking my information and message I wanted to send to my friends for their dinner reservation. Thank you so much Veda and the Waterbury Hen team, I can’t wait to be back! It’s hard to find people such as Veda who go a...
Overall a good but not overwhelmingexperience at Hen of the Wood. Ordered a large portion of the menu and some of the dishes were confusing the braised ham was swimming in olive oil and didn’t seem to have any other flavor to make it memorable. Mushroom toast (pictured) which seems to be there signature dish, was one half piece of bread on a huge plate barely enough to even share among 2 people. Entrees of pappardelle and hanger steak were highlights. No dessert and the drinks were relatively small for the price point.
I expected a nice dinner but was quite pleasantly surprised. The menu was varied and suited me well. I had an Oaxaca old fashioned that was really delicious. Everything was great!

An excellent experience overall. The service is superb, the food excellent. Yes it’s expensive, but it’s very worth the price.
