Community Table - New Preston, Connecticut

I recently dined at Community Table in Connecticut, and it was an outstanding experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with an inviting and elegant atmosphere. The service was truly exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel right at home.

The food was incredibly flavorful, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and bursting with taste. Community Table is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable meal in a lovely setting.

I have driven by this place more times than I can count & had no idea it was a restaurant until my colleague that became a very good friend told me to meet her there. It's her favorite spot. Interior is so welcoming, the staff also. They have their regulars that come in that are treated like family. Gets pretty busy for really be out in the middle of nowhere. I don't get service, but you are able to connect to their wifi. Pricing pretty high, so I'm not sure if I will return even if I wanted to!

My partner made reservations here for my birthday. This is the third time that we’ve been here and let me start off by saying that we have enjoyed this restaurant in the past. We arrived at 7:45 and we’re seated immediately. We sat in the front room along the banquette in the far right corner. There was a moldy smell in that corner almost reminded me of a dirty litter box. I couldn’t quite figure out what it was. We both started out with a French Chardonnay which was very good, I believe that was about $22 a glass. We ordered bread which was $12 to start as an appetizer along with the salad($18)with beets. The bread was pricey, but very good. The salad was also good, but there were not many beets in it. They were four small pieces of yellow beats, and the rest were thin slices of red beets. I am a meat eater so I ordered the Allen Ranch ribeye. Please look at my picture to see the size of the portion. Now I’m not a big eater, but I could not believe the size of the entrée for $46. Also, I’m just looking at the menu right now and although the description says it included Yukon gold potatoes, there were no potatoes on the plate. I have to say everything was very good but again for $46 I expected a ribeye steak on the platter, not two small pieces. I know times are tough, but this was a bit ridiculous. If it was a piece of filet mignon for $46 that might’ve been better. My partner had the salmon that he said was very good but again he said the portion size was very small. For dessert we both had the warm fallen bittersweet chocolate cake, that was very good. We would like to go back here again, but we’re going to think long and hard before we make that decision. For the two of us with the tip it was about $250.

The staff went above and beyond for my anniversary dinner last night by having a bottle of bubbly on ice and fresh flowers on the table. We started with the fresh warm rolls and honey butter, and the New England cheese board. Both were delicious. The rolls are so light and airy. And that butter is like crack, so addictive lol. My wife had the skirt steak as her entree and I ordered the Amish chicken. My chicken was so savory and the flavors mixed perfectly. My wife loved her steak and we ended up taking half home. For dessert I ordered a butterscotch pudding with roasted pistachios. It was absolutely delightful. The wife ordered the chocolate cornmeal cake with an ice cream that was to die for. The raspberry syrup was a bit too much for us, but we don't like raspberries. I will definitely return to this establishment, it's a 10/10 and a rare find in this state.

They really know what they are doing here, the food was inventive with some tasty twists and yet what I would call “comfort food” too. We had oysters which came with a strawberry vinaigrette, and I had the hake with sea urchin, which for me was perfect. Our waiter was really sweet too, with a good sense of humour.

After our perfect dinner just four weeks ago with outstanding good food, we were very disappointed this time. The Earth's Palate Lettuces were boring, the Head on Prawns didn’t taste and the composition hardly edible. My sons Skirt Steak was tasty but the vegetables very boring again. Do you have a new Chef?
The service was disappointing as well, not noticing several times that I wanted to order something although she was at the table. Overall not a nice experience for the price…
It’ll take a while to try again!

We really had a lovely time. The service was excellent, the food was absolutely delicious. A lot of fresh local options, very well done, nothing too sweet- we enjoyed the steak and the heirloom tomato salad. The hush puppies were amazing!

I don't know why it took us so long to get seated when we had reservations, but after we were seated, the service from our server was outstanding. The food was really delicious. My friend ordered three starters, and then we each had an entree. Everything was delicious. When it came to dessert, my friend couldn't decide, so we got two. One of them was the lavender honey ice cream. Although it was flavorful, my friend said it tasted like a 3-wick candle from B&BW. After we finished laughing for five minutes, neither of us could stomach anymore because it really did taste like they used too much essential oil in making the ice cream. We drove an hour to get here but I don't know if the drive was worth it. The food here is good, but I've had good food (and better seating service) at other restaurants.
