Coley and I were treated to a very fine dining experience at the tavern within the Old Riverton Inn… in Riverton, Litchfield County, Connecticut, USA.
Not pictured, we had an appetizer dish of the “Spinach Artichoke Dip with tortilla chips.” They were amazing and I want them again.
For the main course, I enjoyed the “Steak Frites,” a grilled flat-iron steak, topped with garlic herb butter, with hand cut fries and a side salad; as well as a few Dr. Strangehazes on tap from Brewery Legitimus down the road.
Coley: “I had the ‘Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf,’ [bacon-wrapped meatloaf served with mashed potatoes, beef gravy and seasonal vegetable]. It was delicious!“
“Service was great and everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves, We'll definitely go back again.”

We look forward to serving you as we revive this famous property in Riverton, CT.
The Royal Coachman is an artificial fly that has been tied as a wet fly, dry fly and streamer pattern. Today, the Royal Coachman and its variations are tied mostly as dry flies and fished floating on the water surface. It is a popular and widely used pattern for freshwater game fish, particularly trout and grayling. Large streamer versions are also used for winter steelhead and Atlantic salmon.”
