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.

We have been to Millwrights many times over many years. Service level has declined. My wife’s salmon was not as advertised and not as usual and she didn’t finish it. The Chardonnay by the glass was awful and I know my wine. The wine list by the bottle for Chardonnay was either affordable for poor quality or overpriced for quality such as Kistler and Sea Smoke. Nothing in between. Always annoyed when bread is not offered at all (this time) or overpriced (since some restaurants now charge for everything).

Price to portion ratio is way off! We were offered a free third dessert because we could not make up our mind per the server, we were then charged for the third dessert anyways despite him clearly telling us ‘ this one is on me ‘ also receive sparkling instead of Stillwater. also my wife was asked multiple times if she wanted another the wine, she said yes, multiple times, but it was like the server could not remember that it even asked the first time. Beautiful historic location, ambience was great but the value to food, spotty service and tough parking situation…. Not sure if i will be back.

Our overall experience at Millwright’s was fabulous! Delicious food, spectacular ambiance, and impeccable service. Tucked away in a cozy booth we were able to enjoy a lovely New England wintery scene with the beautiful brook below. The Christmas prix fixe was delight after delight and the cherry on top of our evening was the attention and care brought by our server Ron. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and brought great banter to the table. I know he really made the evening for our whole party.
