Where to Dine - Tony's at The J House 

We had a fabulous dinner at Tony's at The J House during our stay at the hotel on Friday, August 25, 2023. Since opening 5 years ago, the restaurant has earned a dedicated clientele of locals, celebrities, and leisure and business travelers. 

Tony's at The J House

The attractive dining room features brown leather banquettes, tables dressed in whit linens flanked by dark wood chairs with black leather seats, and large red "drum" lampshade lights that softly illuminate and add a warm glow to the room, with vintage mirrors and four trees adding to the inviting ambience.

Grilled Ocotpus

As the restaurant has an inspired cocktail menu, we began our evening with two of their cocktails, the Passion Mojito, and the Old Fashion. As fans of dark rum, the Passion Mojito made with Diplomatico Exclusivo Dark Rum, Chinola Passion Fruit Liqueur, Lime Juice, and simple syrup, served in a "Collins" glass, was a great introduction to the restaurant's bar style. Also nice was the Old Fashion made with Redemption Bourbon Infused with Oranges and Luxardo Cherries House Aged in Oak Casks.

Colorado Rack of Lamb

Two of the many highlights from our dinner included the Grilled Octopus, accompanied by a generous mound of potato salad with sliced red onion, olive oil, and lemon, and the Colorado Rack of Lamb which had a very tasty Dijon mustard crust, and was accompanied by garlic mashed potatoes, and lamb au jus.

Greenwich Farmer's Market - Seasonal - Saturdays 

A visit to the Greenwich Farmer's Market on Saturdays is a great place to mingle with locals as well as bring home a "taste of Connecticut." This is where we like to buy our zucchini flowers to stuff and deep-fry in a tempura batter, along with organic vegetables, syrup, honey, plants, and bouquets of flowers. It is also a great place to pick up a loaf of bread and artisanal cheeses to enjoy for a picnic at one of Greenwich's beaches, parks, or summer concerts in the park. 

The Greenwich Farmer's Market opens in mid-May and runs throughout the December holiday season. Saturday Only Hours: 9:30 am until 1:00 pm. The market is in Arch Street and Horseneck Lane Commuter Parking lot. There is free parking during "market hours."
