At Hopkins Inn we are always welcomed by Beth and her husband. We have been staying Twice a year for more then 15 years. The rooms are impeccable The saevice is always pleasant. The food is Amazing! I highly recommend this Beautiful Inn The dinners are delicious and Breakfast is Amazing Ryan is always welcoming
The food was out of this world! An absolute great find. Located on lake waramaug in Warren Ct, beautiful views from the dining room. We started with the clams casino and escargot. Both items were excellent. Hot, fresh and full of flavor. Fresh hot bread accompanied the appetizers. My husband had the jager schnitzel, I had the pork trio. Both outstanding, fresh housemade spatzel and green beans came with our meal. Authentic Austrian and German restaurant that we cant wait to go back to! Summer is extremely busy here, as they have an outdoor patio that over looks the lake. From what I understand they close the end of December and re open in March/ April. Take the trip, you wont be disappointed!
It pains me not to give this restaurant a five-star review!
This was my family and my favorite restaurant since I was a kid. We used to call it little Austria as it was as authentic of a true Austrian restaurant as It gets!
My mom and I celebrated our birthday there last Sunday. The food is still top notch. But a couple things made us sad:
1.) The staff used to wear Austrian uniforms, the ladies would wear beautiful Austrian dresses. Not anymore! The young hostess wore an extra tight black shirt and jeans. The rest of the staff just wore casual attire, no different than your everyday casual restaurant or chain.
2.) Entrees have gone up at least $10 the past few years, but that would be acceptable because the food is still amazing but what happened to the famous Hopkins salad and homemade dressing??? No more ): that was another special touch the restaurant offered with every meal. The portions have gotten smaller, the prices have gone up and now no salad?
What we had for dinner was the same quality as we expected. I had the clams casino, the rack of lamb & peach Melba for dessert, Amazing. My mom had the sea scallops and my aunt had the goulash, both of which were also exceptional!
From what I understand the original owners retired. The new owners really need to bring back that Hopkins charm that it always had!
Stepping into The Hopkins Inn is like crossing an ocean and arriving in the Old World—without ever leaving Connecticut. Despite our arriving late, we were welcomed with warmth, grace, and true European hospitality. Special thanks to our phenomenal servers, AVA and JORDAN—their professionalism, attentiveness, and knowledge turned what could have been a rushed meal into an unforgettable dining experience.
On their recommendation, I enjoyed a crisp and elegant Austrian rosé that rivaled anything I’ve tasted in Vienna itself. The pork liver pâté was a silky, savory masterpiece—delicately rich and perfectly balanced. Then came the star of the evening: the Wienerschnitzel. I’ve eaten this classic dish in Salzburg, Munich, and Vienna, and I can say without hesitation this was the finest rendition I’ve had outside of the Old World. Golden, light, perfectly seasoned—each bite was pure culinary joy.
Just when I thought the evening couldn’t climb higher, the caramel dessert appeared like a final symphony movement—decadent yet refined, the kind of sweet finish that lingers in memory long after the last spoonful.
Hopkins Inn is not just a restaurant—it’s an experience. From AVA and JORDAN’s impeccable service to the flawless Austrian cuisine, this is a destination that proves the Old World lives on in New England.
If you want an extraordinary evening where every detail sings, look no further. Hopkins Inn is a jewel that Connecticut should be proud of.
We love this restaurant for the food, atmosphere and wonderful views. We usually start with the enjoyable Hopkins Inn garden salad with house made dressing, then get one of their many German/Austrian entrees like the schnitzel. Dessert and coffee are a must as well, because they are so good. Strudel, peach Melba, ice cream - and many more - all amazing.
