Rated "VERY GOOD" by the New York Times fine dining section critic Rand Richards Cooper.
Travel Advisor: Sat nite - reservations suggested Pleased from start to finish! The service is lovely at The Barn. The entire staff is well-trained to serve you graciously. My husband ordered the hangar steak cooked to perfection. I had the lamb and it was a huge portion with lovely glazed carrots. I substituted the couscous for sautéed brussel sprouts, great decision for they were delicious. They also bring a lovely napkin pocket of bread with a dip - nice presentation for everything. We have enjoyed every meal here — high quality and lovely ambiance.

8 Minutes ~ Open Table Review - From the moment we entered LaFigata, we were impressed by the décor, warm welcome and overall vibe of the bustling restaurant and welcoming aroma. We were seated almost immediately and our waitress (Natalie) was immediately attentive and knowledgeable. We had the meatball appetizer (will definitely have that again!), a white pizza and the Bolognese - all were excellent! We finished with carrot cake for dessert with a dessert coffee. This will be a regular dinner spot for us for sure! Well done!!

Upscale Asian cuisine Small bar area.
Yelp: As a former Southern California food critic, I have to say my New England choices for Asian cuisine have been plentiful but mostly disappointing--when we happened into Han Asian cuisine in Granby.
This eatery was far and away the best Asian food we have had in six years in Connecticut.
Owner James Chen is intimately involved in everything about his patrons' dining experience.
James stopped by our table twice to make sure all was well and to approve our up-charge for pineapple rice, with our two Chinese dishes which were usually served with plain rice.I am totally confident in giving an unqualified recommendation to Han Asian Cuisine!

8 MINUTES Trip Advisor: After a full day of garden work, we took our grandson to Wayback which is our favorite burger & shake place. Grandson & I had burgers - his was basic but, I decided to go with the sauteed onions and mushrooms - yum. Grandpa had his hot dog with everything on it. Milk Shakes are like Grandpa & I remember "back in the day" - thick & full of flavor. Grandson was interested in the "old" pictures on the wall, & it turned into a trip down memory lane for us, and a history lesson for him. As always, the staff are friendly & efficient, & the business is clean and comfortable.

Grass Roots is an artisan ice cream shop. They experiment constantly with countless flavors always tweaking and improving while using natural extracts, and real food to flavor our ice cream. Closed Sundays. Yelp: The most amazing ice cream place ever. Crazy flavors that actually make sense and some basic flavors as well. This is truly a special ice cream place. My wife and I drive 40 mins just for this place and made sure it was our sons 1st experience with ice cream (it was also the first time we got him to use a spoon on his own). Everyone working here is always super friendly and the owner/ice cream magician is awesome. Love their t-shirt designs I get a new one every year.

Great time after time!!
I have been here numerous times- with husband, other couples, elderly mom and her friend. The food has always been EXCELLENT. There really isn't a place in Granby or Southwick that compares to the quality of the meals. Time after time the meals have been consistently good. The food is full of flavor, portions are large, prices are less than some of the high end places in the area. The service is wonderful/friendly. They always greet us with a smile when we arrive and when we leave. I am not sure why some people are complaining. Everyone we see leaves very happy! We have had many things on the menu- the Shrimp Torino, wings (the biggest and best in the area, seriously), Pizza (love that I can build my own with the things that I like), the pasta dishes, the baked fish dinner, the sandwiches, etc., the list goes on. We have NEVER had a bad meal here. It is BYOB which makes it a nice affordable dinner option with friends. They will provide glasses or an ice bucket if requested. My only negative would be this place should NOT be considered a Pizza restaurant! Although they serve pizza and make deliveries they are so much more!!

Located in a little unassuming strip mall in the middle of nowhere Tiger Belly serves "The Darkness" their name for a bowl of Ramen that has so much depth and so much flavor that you don't mind driving to nowhere to get it.

What a GREAT place to meet a friend or significant other for a glass of wine or other drink! I don't know of anyplace like this around. Great ambiance and very quaint. You can get food here too. I have tried many of the unique plates and it has all been fantastic. However, these are appetizers not meals so it's not a dinner place. You can eat at HAN, La Figata, or The Barn which are all walking distance and very good.

Yelp Review: Count me as one that was skeptical. Good Mexican food in Granby?
But we came here recently, and my dining companion declared it better than Puerto Vallarta (a pretty good mini-chain). Strong words.
There's a lot to like about this place. Good service, nice atmosphere, family-friendly, yet still enough for adults to indulge. A big and varied menu. I really enjoyed the Rancho burrito. Filled with good ground beef, it was really tasty, particularly with the guacamole in ample supply.
One dining companion had a shrimp dish -- another big hit. While another got a chicken dish that was almost a like a Chicken Marsala with mushrooms. It was delicious.

My family went to grab ice cream at Grassroots but realized we needed to eat first so we walked through to the restaurant side.
Soooo glad we did! Some really interesting takes on food and I was nervous because they had twists on most items but OMG- they hit gold.
We had the roasted Brussels sprout taco. I know it sounds crazy but it was one of the best things that I have eaten in a really long time. It had flavorful soft small brussel sprouts with roasted nipples of sweet potato, Sriracha sauce and it was heaven

The extra drive up to Granville is SO worth it. I mean, if you're gonna take on the calories in ice cream, it may as well be perfect right?!

I was blown away by the quality donuts here. Everything is so fresh and dense and HUGE. These donuts are monstrous. Do not come here if you're watching your diet. But then again, I highly suggest you stop the diet for a morning and treat yourself...because every calorie is worth it. Seriously. Get in your car. NOW!
Every donut here is excellent. The glazed crullers are by far the best.

We love this place! Love the quirky decorations & friendly staff, and have not been disappointed yet with the awesome breakfasts they serve. They're only open Thursday-Sunday until 1.

We brought home French toast for my daughter; the slices were between 1.5 - 2 inches thick! Looked very good.

Yelp: I've visited this place 3 or 4 times in the last year or two and have been impressed each time. There's a nice deck in back for outdoor dining or beer drinking, and the inside has a lively bar with high-top tables and a quieter side dining room.
Service is reliably pleasant and professional, and the pub food (nachos, sandwiches, pizza) is great. They also take pride in preparing some creative dinner meals, which are excellent (last night we had the special: portabella "steaks". with mashed root vegetables (delicious), as well as a grilled romaine salad (nice, but a bit under-grilled for my taste).

Voted 3rd Best Farm Winery in CT! These folks that have worked hard to produce a great product in a lovely setting.
Lost Acres Vineyard is located in North Granby CT. In the 1700's Lost Acres was a political no-man's land known as "the Wedge." In the early 1800's, the Wedge's free spirited, independent minded, cider distilling hill farmers populated the area. Owners Kevin Riggott and Michelle Niedermeyer, have extended this tradition into grape wine.
The essence of Lost Acres Vineyard is farming - wine is made in the field. A former apple orchard, Lost Acres Vineyard reclaimed this land which now contributes to the agricultural spirit and the natural beauty of Granby.

The atmosphere was awesome, it's an old post and beam barn with many nooks and crannies, you could be as intimate or social as you pleased. It made me picture an old New England tavern.
The beers were amazing, we tried their pumpkin seasonal, their Mexican lager and their stout. The stout, in particular, was amazing.

Fresh vegetables, famous for specialty garlic and tomatoes.
Yelp: A very nice farm stand in the Granby countryside. Yes, garlic is all over the place, (the aroma of garlic and fresh basil was intoxicating) but we also saw veggies of every description - tomatoes (regular and heirloom), peppers, onions, zucchini, eggplant, corn, leeks. We also saw some very nice peaches and artisan bread.
The real star of the show was the gent (had to be an owner) who was manning the store today. We told him this was our first time here, and he carefully explained how the store was laid out - freshly picked stuff up front, three day picked stuff over there, etc .

Fine country bakery just minutes away. Famous Granby orchard with cafe, hot apple cider in season, pick your own apples.
In 2012, due to growing demand, the building was expanded, including the porch, which now wraps around the end towards the orchard. Lunch is served on the porch from May through October, featuring soups, salads, panini, quiche, decadent desserts and more. Whenever possible, it is a true farm to table experience - with fresh herbs and veggies from the garden and fruits from the orchard making their way on to lunch plates within hours - or sometimes minutes - of harvest.

Yelp Review: I had seen ads for this place for a long time and thought it was a little weird. A garden center that specializes in Hosta? It wasn't so strange when I realized I needed some hosta and all the varieties at the local nurseries were the same, boring plants. We were passing through Granby and I remembered O'Brien and we happily left with some distinctive Hosta. The selection was pretty amazing, I think the ad says 900 variety of hosta, I don't doubt it. The shop is unique because it is a house and the plants are just set up all over the property and you can just walk around and pick what you like. Looking for some new shade friendly plants? ,O'Brien's was worth the trip.

Beer Advocate: I can't recommend this place strongly enough. Is it small? Yes. Does it have the biggest beer selection you'll ever see? No. Does it have a great selection of unique beers and the best service I've ever had in a liquor store? 100% yes. I'd been primarily frequenting another much larger store for years for no other reason than it was close and big. A friend referred me to Village Cork & Keg and there's been no turning back. Think boutique vs. Walmart. Sean (owner) knows his stuff and loves talking beer (and other spirits) with his customers. He's put me onto some good stuff, all of which is competitively priced.

Yelp: We were in the area and needed some last minute party favors. Their tequila and whiskey selection was well stocked with variety and affordably priced.
What did surprise me though was their choice in beer. Like Jess L. mentioned, they have a random selection of CT beers as well as regional beers. I do recall seeing offerings I wouldn't normally come across, say in Greater Hartford stores. Be smart and poke around as the beer selection is scattered-- maybe you'll even be rewarded with a rare find. If all else fails, talk to the staff -- they are knowledgeable and friendly.

Yelp: Went here searching for some Dogfish Pennsylvania Tuxedo, and was very pleasantly surprised with the selection of beer. While the space is a touch small, their selection is very diverse, with numerous beers that are harder to find. The employee I spoke to was very friendly and helpful. This is definitely my new beer store.

Great selections including a salad bar.
Google Review: This is an awesome market. We typically stop here when we are traveling from RI to NY. The bathrooms are typically clean which is a core metric for my reviews. The fresh market typically has a nice selection of healthy to not so healthy food that is easy to take on the road. As far as shelf goods it’s a typical market. Good selection and never a long wait to get checked out. Highly recommend stopping here for a quick break and refresher!

Grocery, wine, prepared meals...Classic New England Country Store. Famous for its gourmet brand of aged cheese.
Yelp: The Granville Store has something for everyone. Staff very friendly and accommodating. The most delicious Cheese you will eat by far. (extra sharp is a tangy, smooth treat.) We tried a variety of foods and everything was good including coffee and desserts freshly made. Best Oatmeal cookies and Mac n Cheese! A few tables inside but there was a picnic table across on the Green, couldn't ask for a better New England atmosphere.
Well worth the drive to step back in time, enjoy good eats and relax.

Old fashioned toy store with very few if any battery operated toys. Family owned since the 1940s.
Yelp: This toy store looks far smaller than it is. It's like entering a vortex and you're sucked in by all the amazingly wonderful products they have to offer. Toys your parents played with. Educational science and circuit board kits. Puzzles. Board games. Crafting kits for the fiber and wood arts. Art supplies. More dress up clothes than I've seen in a long time, and all of them high quality. Lego, musical instruments etc.
Necker's focuses on toys that encourage imaginative play and growth, something we don't see enough of these days with all the electronic gadgets and batteries!
