Elsewhere in this week’s edition, you’ll find a review of the Vanilla Bean Café in Pomfret. But there are some very fine and popular restaurants up there in the Quiet Corner. Here are a few you might want to explore while waiting on the workers at the antique store to load those original blocks from Stonehenge into the back of your truck.

85 Main Street, Putnam — Seafood, steaks, sushi/raw bar, farm-to-table sourcing … 85 Main Street provides a comfy-but-refined and menu and ambience.

85 Main Street, 85 Main St., Putnam, 11:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Sun.-Wed, 11:30-10 p.m. Thurs.-Sat., www.85main.com.

Sherwood’s Restaurant & Bar, Woodstock — A go-to destination for big events, family celebrations, or just an upscale evening out. The extensive menu is creative and includes a variety of sauté specials as well as prime rib, pasta, beef, chicken, ribs and seafood. And don’t forget Wednesday Night Trivia!

Courthouse Bar & Grille, Putnam — Yes, this was an actual courthouse, but don’t worry. They don’t serve warrants! Ideally located in the heart of the antiques district, this place is relaxed and works for casual or more formal dining. The menu reflects that, as well.

The Mansion at Bald Hill, Woodstock — Much-loved and elegant, this eatery/bar in the Mansion at Bald Hill Hotel is a destination for folks from beyond the immediate area as well as the hometown folks. The menu is neo-continental, and the atmosphere induces relaxation.
