Well, Hartford is really not that close to Lime Rock, so I am not sure I understand. I can recommend the White Hart Inn in Salsibury, CT, which is very near Lime Rock.
hey josh, sorry for the confusion, they do not want to drive too far from boston (because i was suppose to go up there) i do not want to drive to far from lime rock. so the closet city with a good selection of restaurants in and surrounding it is hartford. jon
Ah, I see. Sorry, I don't know of anything in Hartford. I am sure there is a Denny's or something though. ;-)
Here are a few options that should put Denny's to shame...have fun. MAX DOWNTOWN Hartford 185 Asylum St. (bet. Ann & Trumbull Sts.) Hartford, CT, 06103 (860) 522-2530 Still the toast of the town after eight years, this cult status Hartford New American steak-and-chop house maintains the energy and buzz of a yearling, with the best martinis in town and a menu to satisfy the carnivore and stun even the most jaded bon vivant; hallmark attention to detail and a prime location across from the Civic Center make it the leader of the pack for power lunching, pre- or post-show dining or the place to go when you want to treat yourself or others. MORTON'S, THE STEAKHOUSE 30 State House Sq. (Asylum St.) Hartford, CT, 06103 (860) 724-0044 Its easy to dine, drink and seal a deal at these Hartford and Stamford branches of the King of the Cow chain with the recipe for success that makes critics want to throw money on the table for a manly meal of first-class steaks and Godiva chocolate cake; though the waiters hokey showbiz primer presentation of various cuts is like cramming for a test, corporate types are comforted by the fact that theyre consistent, so you know what youre getting when you come here. Pastis French American Bistro 201 Ann St. (bet. Allyn & Asylum Sts.) Hartford, CT, 06103 (860) 278-8852 Youll think youre on the Boulevard Saint-Germain sigh appreciative amis of this casual yet chic Downtown Hartford slice of a Left Bank bistro, where the zinc bar adds European flair; benchmark steak frites and wonderful bouillabaisse convince many that French food is alive and well in these parts, and it all turns into even more of an authentic experience when you sit outside at one of the cafe tables on a warm spring or summer day. PEPPERCORN'S GRILL 357 Main St. (bet. Buckingham St. & Capital Ave.) Hartford, CT, 06106 (860) 547-1714 The palate-pleasing Italian dishes including terrific osso buco and top tiramisu flame the ardor of Hartford fans who find this spot great for a date or a pre/post Bushnell Theater visit; youll want to spend more than you budget on the imaginative dishes at this very chic place, though a few peppery patrons are put off by the sub-standard location and service that can seem snobbish; N.B. although normally closed on Sundays, it opens for dinner when the Theater has scheduled shows.
