Fife 'n Drum Restaurant & Inn

About Fife 'n Drum Restaurant & Inn:

In the Early 1970’s the Town of Kent, CT Was the Very Model of A Sleepy New England Village. There Was One Traffic Light And, As They Say, the Sidewalks Used To Get Rolled Up After 6 Pm. by Connecticut Law, Women Were Not Allowed To Sit At A Bar. the Towns Large General Store and Lumber Yard, Watson & CO., Was Still A Fixture On the West Side of Route 7, Right Across From an Old Hotel Called the Golden Falcon Inn. Families Still Lived in Most of the Older Victorian and Colonial Houses On Main Street, and It Was Still Politely Observed That It Took At Least 25 Years of Residency in Kent Before A Newcomer Could Stop Being Referred To As No Longer"an Out-Of-Towner." Imagine, If You Will, A 50 Year Old Italian Pianist From New York Entering Into This Scene... With an Eye Toward Turning the Tiny Kent Restaurant Into A Fine Dining Establishment - Complete With A Croatian Maitre D’ and A Custom Built Piano Bar. As Dolph Traymon’s Former Employer, Peggy Lee, Said “dolph, You've Lost Your Mind!” With All of This, the Fife ‘n Drum Restaurant First Opened Its Doors for Business On January 20, 1973. the First Paying Customer Was Mr. Eugene Bull, Kent’s Postmaster, and A Member of the Family Who First Built the Local Covered Bridge, Bulls Bridge, South of Town. Pretty Soon the Fife Started Receiving Regular Mentions On the Radio in New York. Pegeen and Ed Fitzgerald, Who Had A Show On Wor-Am and Were Old Friends of Dolph's and His Wife Audrey, Kept Talking About Their “little Cabin in Kent, Connecticut” and How Their Listeners Should Drive Up and “go See My Friend Dolph” for Lunch. Additionally, A Number of Celebrity-Studded Dinners Hosted by Another Longtime Friend, Famed Artist and Writer Eric Sloane, Helped Cement the Fife ‘n Drum’s Reputation As the Place To Eat in Kent. Since Its Founding in 1973, the Fife 'n Drum Restaurant & Inn Has Been Known To Generations of Patrons for Fine Dining, Amazing Wines, Great Music, Comfortable Lodgings and Friendly Hospitality. Owner Elissa Potts Works Tirelessly To Make Sure Everyone Feels At Home At "the Fife". the Restaurant Is the Winner of Wine Spectator Magazine's Prestigious Best of Award of Excellence for Their Wine List, Which Contains Hundreds of Selections From All Around the World - the Only Winner in All of Northwestern Connecticut. Among the House Specialities Is Duck Flambeé and Caesar Salad, Both Prepared At Tableside. Gluten Free and Vegetarian Options Are Available Daily; But Friday Is Also Prime Rib Night - for the Carnivores in the Family. for Overnight Accommodations, the Fife's 14 Room Inn Is Just A Few Steps Away.
