Hopkins Inn Of Lake Waramaug

I was holding off on posting this review but since I find reviews incredibly helpful when making decisions I feel I should share. My husband made a reservation for Mothers Day lunch and had specified that we would like to sit in front of the big window facing the lake. He was told that it is first come first serve that they would make note. On the day of the reservation we were the first people at the restaurant and the man that walked us in brought us to a side window. My husband asked if we could sit in front of the large window since it’s what we had requested and no one else was in the restaurant. He became visibly angry at us and stated “I can not rearrange my entire seating chart!” he would not sit us there and was so visibly angry that we didn’t know how to proceed. The rest of our time there the wait staff was cold and inattentive. He kept giving us dirty looks which made us incredibly uncomfortable. Our food was good but the entire experience was overshadowed by the fact that we were stuck in a corner and ignored. He ruined my Mothers Day. My husband felt poorly about the situation and my children were saddened to watch me be mistreated on my special day. I reached out to the restaurant via private email and they were apologetic but nothing was ever resolved as the communication seemed to go on and on with them asking for my phone number. Life being busy I have just moved on. I hope that they have since communicated with this individual and that no one else has an experience like ours. It’s unfortunate as we have enjoyed dining there for two decades. Service: 2 Location: 5

Wednesday afternoon lunch for two. No reservations no problem. Fantastic Austrian European menu in a mid 1800s well preserved, three story, classic Litchfield Hills, New England Colonial. Fireplaces. Wonderfull proportions and unrivaled views make for a tranquil setting. Food and service were excellent. We both Chose non Hopkins Wines from CA that were outstanding at $7 per glass. I ordered Sauerbraten, which was good. If Saubraten is suppose to have more of a vineger hit than a beef flavor, then it was true to form. Guessing there are various ways preparing this dish, I feel a bit more beef flavor would have made it perfect for me. Wife's dish was wonderful. Frozen Eclair rich and lucious for desert. Service folks were wonderful. We love this relaxing unhurried place for my wife's b day!. Will be back soon!

Was not happy with my experience. Service was pretty poor, rarely checked on us, and the food took forever. The appetizer which is just cured meat took about 45 minutes and the entrees over an hour. The food was extremely bland and unseasoned. Service: 1
