BOSTON GLOBE DECEMBER 2012: A quiet corner full of art, fine food, and history

A quiet corner full of art, fine food, and history..... ...
We have to think the weekend prime-rib special at White Horse Country Pub and Restaurant (258 New Milford Turnpike, Marble Dale, 860 868 1496, www.whitehorsecountrypub.com, $6.50 - $19.50) is pretty good, since it was gone when we tried to order it at 7.30 on a Saturday night. White Horse is a big, busy, noisy place with a menu that transcends the usual pub fare, including salmon baked in parchment, Indian specialities such as vegetable korma, and an intriguing selection of custardy, rum-infused, and toffee sauced British desserts.
