Food was great, staff were very nice and respectful, and there was a live musician playing for the whole restaurant. It had an old fashioned feel and was extremely lively. Would highly recommend.

If you are looking for good food & outstanding service at a special setting this is your place. We had their Tuna special which was outstanding and there chicken parmigiana which was easily enough for two meals. The pistachio ricotta cake to finish off the meal was the best!! We will be back soon!

Beautiful ambiance, great food and service. It's worth the drive. We had dinner here several times and the real star is the historic feel of this cozy restaurant. The multiple wood burning fireplaces set the stage for a great evening on a recent snowy weekend. The food is very good, and the service is professional and personable. A truly enjoyable place!

I visited the Coach Stop after playing golf with my buddies. We had a beer on tap in a frosty mug and saw a few people eating a Pizza and it looked good, so we ordered one. It was excellent. The service was good. Pizza took a half hour to make but other than that, I would recommend the place.

A hidden gem in the hamlet of East Hartland CT, this restaurant oozes with history, a welcoming aura, and wonderful aromas. I hadn't been to this location in over 15 years, and probably two businesses ago. The current owners have been here about six years, I'm told, and judging from the number of cars in the parking lot, are putting out some really good food. I can attest to that. I sat at the bar, where Julianna took my order of a MW Station Burger with crispy fries. The burger was perfectly cooked, and had a definite charbroiled taste. 8 ozs of perfection between a substantial (not flimsy) bun. And loads of Heinz ketchup, because ketchup is a vegetable (and I put ketchup on my ketchup).Fries were nice and crispy. Good beer selection. The vibe was a low murmur, lively but def not deafening. The crowd at the bar was very friendly. One lady to my right seemed to be a regular, and rated her chicken francaise 5-star. She even allowed me to take a picture of it (posted). Another friendly group of three (definitely regulars) seemed to really enjoy their pizza. All of us shared tips on where to go in the area for bbq, Mexican, etc. Julianna provided great service with a smile. Overall, really good food, good value. Very clean. Lots of outdoor seating. Hours are currently 4-9, Wednesday thru Sunday.
