Connecticut has its fair share of amazing restaurants, from small family owned businesses to top floor ballrooms. But few are as unique as a trip to The Golden Lamb Buttery, a rustic, down to earth dining experience that takes far away from the city lights. You’ll get to enjoy a real farm-to-table dining experience, just an hour outside of Hartford. But you’ll feel like you’re in another land!

Please note, The Golden Lamb Buttery has permanently closed.

Nestled in the tiny town of Brooklyn, The Golden Lamb Buttery serves vegetables and herbs straight from their thousand-acre farm. A perfect escape in the summer, and a wonderland in the winter, this property is spectacular!
