"This chef-owned restored 1820s farmhouse in Waterbury Center offers locally-sourced fare from acclaimed Swiss-born chef Michael Kloeti, with front-of-house operations by his wife Laura. Kloeti, who formerly worked at legendary restaurant Lespinasse in New York’s St. Regis Hotel, brings his European roots and a refined approach to this rustic-romantic dining room, with dishes like spice-roasted venison loin with red wine braised cabbage and chestnut spätzli. The Kloetis routinely collaborate with their farmer friends to discuss upcoming menus and plan the growing and cooking seasons — and they’re serious about it. Case in point: The list of nearby cheese makers (including Sage Farm Goat, Barn First and Jasper Hill) is so long that the restaurant rotates it constantly to feature them all." - Heather Platt
