Reviews for Market Place Kitchen & Bar - Newtown in Litchfield, CT

What a great afternoon! We were sat at the bar and our bartender was energetic, attentive, and fun! I asked for a recommendation... and she suggested the cheesesteak sandwich with the truffle fries and it did not disappoint. ???? Read more

The Tavern occupies one of the oldest buildings in town. It was built in 1812 to serve as a jail for British prisoners during... the War of 1812. The 3-story cell block that now belongs to the bar was added in 1846. You can peer into the cells through theoriginal barred gates while dining. Local beer plus fish and chips completed the picture Read more

One of the coolest restaurants I’ve ever been to! I’ve already loved Marketplace at their other locations, but the... Litchfield one is exceptional. I’ve never dined in an old jail before, and I couldn’t believe the cells were still in tact!We were actually seated right next to one, which was super cool. Always love the variety on their menu, and I tried the mac &cheese here, which isn’t available at every location. The short rib was perfectly cooked - so tender! Loved the onions inthere too. My friends and I shared the corn dip for an appetizer, which was super addicting. They loved their entrees of theburger and ahi tuna. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the Litchfield area!

Had no plans on Mon night in May. The outside seating was full so we sat at the Bar. Very nice atmosphere in a tight space.... Bartender very friendly and accommodating. The food was very good. Read more

This was a great lunch spot. The servers were all so friendly. The food was good too. I enjoyed my salad with salmon.

What a funky atmosphere. The ambiance is pretty obvious seeing as how it's in an old jail. Lots of yummy beers. I had a flight... and was pleased with all of my choices. My husband and I decided to share a few appetizers as our meal. We tried the everythingpretzel sticks with beer cheese, calamari and short rib poutine. All were tasty but I wouldn't necessarily say I was blown awayby any of them. I would certainly go back for the ambiance and beer but would venture to try something different off the menu. Read more

Waitress was able to give all the historical data with regards to the building. I had the salmon with butternut squash risotto.... The salmon was a large portion. Risotto was delish. Husband asked for plain chicken breast and fries, cheese on the chicken,no veg, no salad, no sauce. It came out with scallions on the melted cheese. It was sent back. It next came out with thechicken/cheese looking good but scallions on the fries. It was sent back again. Third time lucky it was good for eating. After all of that we would give it another try to see if it works out. We went on a Wednesday lunchtime. Bar area was quiet.Pre-tip it cost $58.79 which also included 2 bud light and 1 Chardonnay.

I came here for lunch while in the area on a Friday afternoon. They had a nice patio but unfortunately it was drizzling a bit so... we sat inside. The history of the building is cool, it used to be a prison and the bars and doorways are all still in tact. Ourwaitress was friendly and checked on us frequently as well. The food menu was a good size and a large variety. However theprices were pretty high and I felt not worth what you got. I ordered chicken nachos and I felt it was mostly chips. The Koreanchicken sandwich was a good size, but for the price I expected more. Overall it was an alright visit. Cool building and friendlypeople. Read more
