1754 House | Inn & Restaurant - Woodbury - Woodbury, Connecticut

We love eating at 1754 House. My husband and I were big fans prior to having our daughter and frequented often. After we had our daughter with food allergies we took a break from eating out. We have been here twice with our toddler with food allergies and they have been amazing accommodating her each time. (and our food is always amazing as well). I have spoken personally to the Chef and our waitress both times were very aware and understanding of her food allergies. It's truly been a life changing experience for our family and we are so thankful to the entire restaurant and staff.

The host and waitress were lovely. Service was truly great all around. The restaurant itself had a fascinating aesthetic. I loved the pulley lights framing the fireplace.

The soups were also great. The French Onion was a bit salty to my taste, but had a good flavor. The clam chowder was actually my favorite that I've had since moving to New England.

However, the burger and fries were truly horrendous. They were the worst I've had in over twenty years. I ordered my burger "pink" per the menu, expecting a juicy, flavorful bite with a touch of pink. What I received was a historical artifact. This patty wasn’t cooked—it may have been excavated from the ruins of Pompeii. If I had known my meal would be carbon-dated rather than plated, I would have brought a chisel and a team of archaeologists instead of a fork and knife. Somewhere, a museum is missing an exhibit.

The bun and bacon jam tried their best, but no amount of sauce could rehydrate what I can only assume was the final meal of a gladiator before Vesuvius erupted. And then came the fries - they were harder than my will to finish this meal. Each bite threatened my dental insurance. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to snack on obsidian shards, I highly recommend giving them a try.

Had a meal with my family and had high expectations after reading other reviews. I had the fish and chips and was very disappointed. The fish was bland and had a very unusual breaded crust on it, not the typical crispy batter. It had no flavor whatsoever and was a bit soggy. I like like unique styles of cooking, but this was not good. The fries which were cooked in duck fat were very brown, but most were not crispy which was odd. Others at my table had the pork roast sandwich and complained that there was hardly any meat, just an egg. The sides of cole slaw with the two orders of fish and chips were basically cabbage soaked in oil, very greasy and inedible to two people. We finished the meal with an order of beignets for the table. Again, disappointed. Usually these are served with powdered sugar. In this case they were heavily covered in cinnamon and sugar. Normally I would say this would be good, but there was SO much of it that we were literally gagging on it. My husband and I came home and we both had stomach aches. The atomosphere was ok, but not charming for the history of the building. The service was good, but sadly we will not be back.

We came for the first time last evening for dinner. Really a 5-star review from beginning to end. Excellent service. Excellent food. A table right next to the fire place. Highly recommend!

I recently stayed at the old Curtis House now 1754 House. Wonderful place if you need to stay around Woodbury and want to get off the beaten path. Very friendly and helpful staff. They have a complimentary light morning breakfast with coffee and pastry. I was happy to see the oatmeal 🙂 Location is in a historic district, very close to many antique stores. Restaurant is also top notch and they even have a very cool bar in the basement with occasional live blues/jazz bands. Rooms are comfy and have a very rustic feel. Lots of squeaky floor boards, which adds to the charm of the place. The restaurant alone is worth the trek if you want something special. They are all set up for the holidays, and this would be perfect place to take the family for a special holiday dinner. Thank you for making my stay so memorable.

The service was wonderful and the dining room was warm/cozy. The pretzel bites app with the guada sauce was scrumptious and the steak frites entrée was delicious. My husband and I definitely plan on returning here for special nights out.

Fantastic gluten-free options. The fish and chips was excellent. The head chef brought my meal down personally so that he could ensure I got the right thing.

The older woman at the hostess station was a little rude and condescending but it didn't sour the overall experience

Not only have I recommended this place to my friends and family because it is my favorite restaurant in the area, but they just outdid themselves this evening when I ordered through DoorDash and my Dasher forgot my dessert and I called and told them it was missing… and the owner and chef himself delivered my dessert to my front door. Talk about amazing wonderful people and customer service on top of the delicious amazing food. Thank you so much. I had a very rough day today and you guys made it soo much better. I feel star struck 🤩 thank you! I give five stars out of five on all areas for some reason it’s not letting me save on my review!
