The North House

Clearly I’ve been missing out. I drive by The North House daily to and from work over Avon Mountain. To think this gem has been here all this time and I’m only now discovering it! It snowed today and it felt like the perfect opportunity for a warm tavern lunch. The North House didn’t disappoint. Vera provided excellent care from water to the check - positive demeanor, good humor, attentive, great eye contact and presented like she truly enjoyed being there, so we totally matched her vibe. Our son believes that any restaurant with Tavern in the name MUST have great wings 😝 and he was not disappointed. The weather inspired me to have the French Onion Soup and it was delicious! Crab cakes, Caesar salad, Steak Frites - every dish was fantastic. We splurged and had dessert too - a giant slice

Love the authentic and rustic environment, truly one of a kind! Server named MARIA + DYLAN made me feel very special on my birthday. Hostesses included Sara were also very friendly. The short ribs were my fav but the salmon and steak frites also were delicious! Would definitely be back!

I do not understand why this restaurant only has a 4.4 rating when it deserves much more than 5 stars. The atmosphere, calm and relaxing, the service amazing!! Matthew was very pleasant and professional, most importantly attentive. The food, OMG, DELICIOUS!!!! I highly recommend it.

Went here for a birthday celebration and the venue is beautiful and staff are warm and welcoming. Will definitely be coming here again soon. Food was delicious! I recommend going for happy hour (3-7pm)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Stellar Dining Experience at The North House — Worth Every Mile My foodie friends and I travel all over Connecticut in search of memorable dining experiences, usually guided by trusted recommendations or word of mouth. When one of us spotted The North House on Facebook, we decided it was time for a group outing. Only later did we realize this gem is located in the beautifully restored former Avon Old Farms Inn—an immediate sign we were in for something special. Tonight, our group of ten—five couples—gathered for dinner, with guests traveling from Mystic, Rhode Island, Colchester, and Tolland/Storrs. The moment we walked in, we knew the trip was worth it. The North House blends modern American cuisine with historic charm, creating an atmosphere that feels both elevated and warmly
