of flavors, balanced well by the brightness of the pickles. And, of course, it was beautifully presented, as are all the dishes at curATE Café. From the outdoor sculptures to the art galleries to the culinary delights, a visit to SVAC is a lovely way to spend an artful afternoon.

One of the things I love about The Dorset Inn Restaurant & Tavern is the opportunity to experience a variety of atmospheres in one place. The Tavern tends to be more on the casual side, with the option to sit near the fire when it’ s chilly outside. The restaurant is a more formal dining experience with a special occasion vibe.( I went there once to celebrate my birthday!) There’ s also a lounge area with couches and stuffed chairs for seating, which creates a casual and fun experience for diners; it’ s a really nice place to grab a small plate and a drink before catching a show at the Dorset Playhouse just around the corner. Now, about that burger … the Dorset Inn Beef Burger. The Wallingford Locker bacon is candied, the shallots are pickled, and it is rightfully served on my favorite, the brioche bun, along with Cabot cheddar and a bacon sherry aioli. YUM! Even the ketchup is kicked up a notch with a little bourbon. I can tell you firsthand that it all goes very well with a nice, effervescent glass of TÖST non-alcoholic sparkling beverage! We had a family dinner in the Tavern the night I tried their
burger, and we all felt right at home. While my husband and son ordered( and thoroughly enjoyed) other items on the menu, I saw them eyeing my burger and I know at least one of them will be trying it on our next excursion.
