The White Horse Inn at Vernon Stiles,

Thompson Common, Thompson, Connecticut, (860) 923-9571.

A sophisticated menu suggests wines, available by the glass, for each item and each course. Entrees include mustard and coriander crusted salmon fillet served over wilted greens; veal marsala-piccata, sauteed with capers, lemon, and marsala, finished with cream, butter, and artichoke hearts; gratinee of sole de Florence, stuffed with a delicate fish mousse and topped with sauce veloute. The bouillabaisse is close to perfection. Save room for sensational desserts.
