Editor’s Note: After 25 years of creating a tropical haven for Connecticut diners, Blue Sky Foods has dished up its last scrumptious serving and is officially closed. If you’re looking for another fantastic restaurant with a summertime vibe, check out this quirky eatery that has its very own backyard beach.
Tucked away in rural northwest Connecticut is a tropical-themed restaurant serving up delicious plates. A seasonal gem, Blue Sky Foods opened for its 24th season on April 27. It features eclectic beach decor and a relaxed, laid back atmosphere you’re guaranteed to love. Make sure you visit before the season ends!
Blue Sky Foods brings the shoreline to the mainland. This beach cottage eatery is BYOB, so pack up your favorite drinks and head down to New Hartford to enjoy this eccentric stop. It’s the ultimate beach house.

Inside, you’ll find a fun, diner-like sit-in. Featured on NBC’s Feast TV, there is no “island” quite like this. As the owners would say, they’re a bit of Key West with a sprinkle of Nantucket, a dash of New Orleans and the spice of the islands thrown in for good measure.

You’ll find all your fresh seafood favorites, from fish to fried oysters to crab cakes. But that’s not all.

Plus, when the weather is nice, you can enjoy the colorful patio seating. Turns out you can skip the sand and sunburn and still enjoy a trip to the beach. How awesome is that?
