Hen of the Wood - Waterbury

Had a wonderful meal last night. Everything was great! The house salad with candied walnuts and Bayley Hazen Blue cheese was crisp with a nice light dressing. Loved the diver scallops with crispy capers and onions. Others enjoyed the duck breast and tortellini with oyster mushrooms. The restaurant is beautiful, warm and inviting. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and offered great recommendations for our group, including gluten-free options.

Everything was superb from beginning to end. The mixed green salad was a great starter. The blue cheese was delicious and not too strong. The sterling goat cheese was so creamy. I had the halibut which was light, flaky and so tasty. My friend had the duck which was rich, gamey and tender. So flavorful. We also got the Brussel side. Pickled cranberry on top the Brussel sprouts were charred which gave them this amazing crispiness. Finishing off with the chocolate zucchini cake which was like a moist devil's food cake. And surprisingly gluten free. The staff was awesome. Thank you Taylor.
