With its unique setting perched atop a waterfall in Simsbury, Connecticut, Millwright’s invites guests to dine in the 17th century mill with acclaimed, James Beard nominated Chef Tyler Anderson and his team. Featuring daily-chosen farm ingredients, the freshest and most select product, proprietary cocktails, and exciting wine menu, Millwright’s offers a new experience to the Farmington Valley farm-to-table dining scene. The culinary team understands the impact of the highest-quality fresh ingredients. Millwright’s kitchen thrives on local ingredients – grown, raised, produced, foraged and prepared – whenever possible. They also take the farm-to-table concept one step further. Millwright’s has partnered with a farm that will grow most of its organic produce. The “Inspired New England” cuisine at Millwright’s pays homage to the land, to the flavor-rich quality of local, fresh ingredients and to the time-honored cooking techniques that enhance the natural goodness of those ingredients.

    My sons and their partners and I decided to have Thanksgiving dinner at Millwright and it was overall a very good experience. We had a 5:30 reservation though we were not seated til 6 (which was a bit ironic since they had called me the day before to indicate that we had to be there on time and they would only hold the table for 10 minutes), however, they made up for it by offering a half off bottle of wine, which was quite generous. The prix fixe dinner was excellent, being Thanksgiving, most of us opted for the turkey, which was great, especially the confit. I loved the smoked salmon mousse, it was a nice creative touch. All else got the more conventional first courses, as is their wont, and they enjoyed them. The sides were delicious, the service impeccable and the atmosphere lovely. Rather expensive for a turkey dinner, but it is a vibe. So I would do it again, I am a semi-regular visitor to the Tavern, my favorite part of the restaurant.

    Our family had a special dinner on a Saturday, enjoying something from every part of the menu (signature cocktails and mocktails; appetizers, entrees and desserts). Flavor galore. Our server, Lincoln, was attentive, made great suggestions and helped make it a perfect evening. The night was made extra special when a young couple a few tables away got engaged to the applause of all. In the car ride back to our house, the five of us each sang the praises of Millwrights. Top Shelf evening.

    A great dining experience. We sat in the main dining room overlooking the waterfall. Excellent ambience. A bit noisy at times but quieted down as the night went on. Food and service were excellent as always.

    Millwright is one of the most special we’ve experienced in our lifetime. The food is perfect,as are the drinks and the service. If you can get Ron to serve you a great experience will be even better. Great for special occasions or if you just want to have a spectacular experience

    My husband and I had a reservation and were seated right away on the bridge room, very nice. We were asked what kind of water we wanted for our table and told our server, Evelyn would be right over to take our order, which she did. She took our cocktail order and when they were served she took our dinner order. My husband had the foil gras mousse and I had the tapioca custard appetizer. For entrees he had the scallops and u had BBQ short rib. For dessert we shared the s’mores. Everything was excellent .
