Real reviews from guests
"We recently celebrated my father-in-law’s birthday at The Roger Sherman in New Canaan (just dinner, did not stay there), and while the food was excellent, it was the service that truly set the evening apart. From start to finish, the entire staff went above and beyond to make the night feel special.

"Exceptional stay and a perfect romantic getaway in New Canaan. Incredible restaurant, staff, and decor welcoming, elegant, and beautifully removed from everyday life."

Under its new management and new chef, The Roger Sherman has truly elevated its already high standards. I've had the pleasure of attending several events there..."

Vinny is a true musician that added such a great touch to..."
"I recently held a private event at the Roger Sherman Inn. I had a wonderful experience working with George. He made the planning process seamless and was very accommodating the day of the event. I’m excited to see the upcoming renovations of this local gem."
