The most wonderful dining experience in the Litchfield area! From the beautiful room set above Stonybrook Golf Course to the fantastic staff and truly outstanding cuisine, Clubhouse Provisions is an amazing place! Jonathan & Jill who are the owners are the loveliest of hosts, extremely attentive offering a great menu for all palates. From the scallops, the rice bowls (my favorite) to the selection of meats and array of sides, you cannot go wrong. In addition, the desserts made by Chef Jonathan are simply delicious. For any occasion or simply to escape reality, Clubhouse Provisions is a must on my list.

We went for a sister, mom, daughter Sunday Brunch and we completely enjoyed ourselves! The ambiance is cozy, modern rustic, with beautiful views of the golf course and the autumn foliage. Merica was our server, and she was fabulous! Awesome personality, funny, attentive, and just lovely! We had the pleasure of meeting Chef, and we were thrilled to let him know how delicious the food was including the artful presentation. We cannot wait to go back for lunch and dinner!

This review is of the restaurant that is located at Stony Brook golf. I have played the golf course and find it challenging and fun always in good condition and worthy of a good nine hole match. The restaurant was absolutely delicious recently remodeled the flavors had a bit of an Asian flair to them. We started with the calamari and also had the mussels which were absolutely fantastic. The muscles were in a savory broth that had ginger garlic sambal and a perfect balance of flavors. For our main meal we both opted for the Korean bowl with crispy yet tender and flavorful pork belly as well as the Japanese style rice bowl. The Japanese rice bowl we opted for shrimp which were large tender and flavorful you could tell that they were fresh. I definitely recommend this restaurant! We went on a Saturday around 7:45 and the place was busy! (Always a good sign) the staff was attentive prompt and courteous I can't say enough about this gem located in Litchfield.

Calamari was outstanding! So good we ordered a 2nd plate. The main meals were ok. My grilled peach and Baratta special salad was missing the peaches. When we mentioned the missing peaches, they brought out cold, ungrilled peaches. My salad was still tasty. The dressing was a bit too much olive oil, not enough balsamic for me. Our waitress was very friendly. The view was beautiful on the deck over looking the course. I would go back for the calamari and drinks!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Stonybrook Golf Course. From the moment you step onto the course, you’re surrounded by stunning, picturesque scenery that makes playing here an absolute joy. The natural beauty of the course is breathtaking—every hole seems to frame a new, gorgeous view, making it not just a game but an experience to savor. The instruction here is phenomenal. Jill and her colleagues are not only highly skilled but incredibly passionate about teaching. It’s evident they take great pride in helping golfers at every level improve their game. They have a way of making you feel both supported and challenged in the best way possible, and their love for the sport is truly contagious. What makes Stonybrook stand out even more is the dedication of the entire staff. Everyone who works here is clearly passionate about golf and genuinely cares about making sure every player has a great experience. That level of commitment is rare, and it truly shows in the atmosphere and overall experience. And let’s not forget the restaurant! The interior design is as beautiful as the course itself, with large windows offering stunning views of the fairways. It’s the perfect place to relax after a round. The food, prepared by Jill’s talented husband, is consistently delicious, made with high-quality ingredients, and very reasonably priced. They frequently offer special multicourse prix-fixe dinners, which are a wonderful treat and showcase the culinary talent that makes this one of the best restaurants in Litchfield County. Whether you’re grabbing a bite before or after a game, or attending one of their special dinners, the meals never disappoint—they’re tasty and consistently well-prepared. Stonybrook is truly a gem, and I can’t recommend it highly enough for both golfers and food lovers alike!

Great course. Pictures really don’t do it justice. Very fun and challenging and the conditions are immaculate. They have 4 different coloured T’s making it a great place for both beginners and experienced golfers. The restaurant is also five star from the food to the service I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
