THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Hop Brook Tavern Restaurant Review:


From the moment you stroll past the waterfall on your way from the parking lot to the entrance, you'll be enchanted with the Hop Brook Tavern. Housed in a 300-year-old grist mill, this picturesque dining spot affords wonderfully romantic views from outdoor and window seats overlooking the falls. Exposed stone walls and wood beams contribute to an ambience of old New England warmth and good cheer. You'll be charmed by the cuisine, as well. From seafood to steaks to vegetarian entrées, lunch and dinner selections feature classic dishes with fresh twists. Start with the wonderfully zesty shrimp Bloody Mary, or warm your insides to the core with a piping hot crock of baked five-onion soup. We always gravitate toward the wild mushroom ravioli---delicate pasta puffs stuffed with porcini mushrooms and mascarpone cheese topped with a port wine and fresh sage cream sauce. The seafood paella features shellfish, chicken and sausage piled atop a bed of saffron rice with an unexpected, spicy embellishment---Thai chili sauce. Surf 'n' turf lovers can choose Cajun shrimp, grilled swordfish or pan-seared scallops to share a plate with a petite filet. The midday menu features burgers, sandwiches and hearty chicken pot pie in addition to lunch-sized portions of entrée favorites. On Friday and Saturday nights, head downstairs for live music and a nightcap in an historic, pub-like atmosphere.
