Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Wallingford

Brunch was very good. Large portions, great presentation. Only thing off was where we were seated by hostess. The place wasn’t busy, and they had all tables immediately next to one another so conversations were a bit awkward.

When we arrived, it wasn't busy at all so we were able to select a table by a picture window and glorious view. As we sat enjoying our goodies, the place became full and despite the many tables, our server was always cheerful, accommodating, and respectful. No long wait as our food arrived shortly after ordering and was thoroughly enjoyed as we shared tasty appetizers (hummus plate and brussel sprouts plate), a delightful special for the day (beef stew), and a delicious salad (pecan and goat cheese). We ended on a sweet note by enjoying a yummy dish of freshly made cookies (chocolate chocolate chip) that were still warm and gooey! A lovely experience all around and would definitely return when in the area. Thank you 1741 for a delightfully delicious evening. Truly a treat!

Delicious food, quick service. Loved the igloo, but do wish it was a little easier to eat in. Would be ideal for apps and drinks, but 8 of us were happy and cozy for lunch! Very warm!

Sat in the loft area, which is our favorite section because it is much quieter & a cozy corner. Food was excellent as always. I had the seafood pasta, which had a generous amount of seafood & a light sauce. My husband had steak which was large & cooked just how he liked it. Service was excellent! Been here several times & will be back again because everything is consistently good!

Never been before thought we’d give it a try. Don’t think the reservation was really necessary but the dining area was very clean and welcoming. The server, Lisa, was a super sweet and attentive. Helped make recommendations and substitutions as requested. The food was great. Spinach salad was a nice taste of summer with berries and goat cheese. I had the steak which was cooked as requested. The veggies were were also tender crisp and not covered in oil or butter. Definitely recommend this spot. Lisa was a true delight as a server and we had a great time with her.
