The story
Kensington's, located at 607 W. Thames Street in Norwich, Connecticut, has earned the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence — a distinction that speaks directly to the seriousness of its wine program alongside its American cuisine.
The Best of Award of Excellence is not handed out lightly. Wine Spectator reserves it for restaurants that go beyond a functional list, offering depth, breadth, and thoughtful pairing potential. For a dining room in Norwich, that kind of recognition places Kensington's in select company and signals a commitment to the full table experience, not just what arrives on the plate.
The restaurant serves both lunch and dinner, making it a destination across the day for those seeking well-crafted American food paired with a wine list that has caught the attention of one of the industry's most respected authorities.
