We had dinner at Millwright's last night to celebrate a family birthday. It was one of the most amazing meals I have ever enjoyed. Because we were a party of 6 we were able to sample from each other's plates and try a variety of dishes. The squash blossoms, oysters and clams we had for appetizers were all perfectly prepared and delicious, and the corn chowder tasted as though the corn had been picked that day. The entrees we shared included braised beef, duck breast, skate wing, pork loin and fried chicken. Again, all were perfectly prepared, beautifully presented and utterly delicious. We were apprehensive about trying the skate wing at first, but it had a mild flavor and was moist, tender and delightful. Our favorite dish was the fried chicken -- it's not the usual presentation one would expect for fried chicken, but everyone at the table absolutely loved it. We sampled three of the desserts as well, and found them all to be flavorful and delicious. When we made the reservation, we were somewhat concerned about trying a new restaurant that had only recently opened, since that can often mean bumpy service and an inconsistent kitchen. Not so at Millwright's -- they have been able to recruit some very experienced, professional waitstaff from other fine dining establishments in the area, and the service was near-perfect. I loved the fact that although we had waitstaff assigned to our table, the manager made a point of letting us know that "anyone in a blue shirt is your waiter" -- so that we never lacked for anything. As for the kitchen, we were happy to find ourselves seated at a table with a view into the kitchen. It was clean and bright, and Chef Tyler Anderson had it running like a well-oiled machine, even on a crowded Friday night. I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Millwright's. We had a truly memorable meal, and I recommend it highly. read more

Took my husband here for his birthday (8/30) - and we both thought that the food and service were absolutely outstanding. My husband ordered the tasting menu, which was delicious (I tasted everything - so I guess I tasted the tasting...). I ordered the salmon (also delicious) and fois gras (more than delicious). We'd originally eaten here 2 years ago (for the birthday, of course), when it had just opened, but I felt that the food wasn't great that night. Obviously, the chef has upped his game and fine-tuned his menu. I'm glad I didn't chicken out from returning. I also came back a week later and ate in the tavern (in the basement). The dinner was great - even though the tavern was a bit dark and noisy. I heard it's being renovated...so I'm planning to return and give it another chance. read more

We had my rehearsal dinner here, taking up the entire restaurant (not the tavern) and everyone kept talking about how great the food was. I wish I had eaten more, but was so busy talking to everyone! We did not want a sit down meal, but had different food stations and bars, and therefore people could mingle and got plenty of the food that they wanted. Great cocktail party atmosphere. I recently returned to Millwright's for lunch and it was delicious. While the shepherds pie was not what I was expecting, it was delicious! Love the decor and they have done an excellent job redoing the restaurant. I worked there years ago when it was a different restaurant, with a different layout, and love what they have done with the space. read more

Truly excellent. I'm not going to go into quite the detail of other reviewers but my wife and I went there for her birthday and had an awesome experience. They sat us facing the waterfall and had a birthday card on the table when we were seated. Just thoughtful all the way around. The food was phenomenal, from the oysters and the delicious mignonette all the way through to dessert. Worth every penny. Go there, enjoy. read more

Excellent food. We had the tasting menu and it was lovely, thoughtful and well executed. A wonderful gem in Simsbury.

My husband and I have been to Millwrights Tavern on numerous occasions and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience - until last night. On Sunday's the Tavern now has live music and last night it was a pianist. We joined friends for an early dinner - @530 and the pianist was so loud that it ruined the whole evening. The waitress couldn't hear us order salads for everyone resulting in only a single person getting one, and that was delivered just minutes before the main entrée. I would have thought that the music would have been much quieter for the dining hour, leaving the loud music to those coming later for drinks and entertainment. A singularly unpleasant evening. read more

The view is spectacular. Food....not so good. Came cold and portions were small. We spent over $200 and my husband had to make a peanut butter sandwich when he got home. read more

Last night was our first time dining here and I was very impressed when we walked in. The setting is beautiful and the old barn isn't drafty like I expected it to be. We met another couple for dinner and we were seated promptly. So far so good. A few minutes later the waiter came by to introduce himself and asked about what kind of water we'd like. We said tap water was fine, and all was well. But it took nearly 45 minutes later before he returned to our table to ask about drinks. It took nearly 90 minutes before we were able to order our food (8:30 by my watch). We all ordered the tasting menu and I must say it was fabulous. And we knew tasting menus were slow, so we were having a good time. But the chairs in this dining room have no angle to them; they're upright at 90 degrees, and after 2 hours of sitting I was beginning to get sore. Well long story short, our meal was over by 10:30---3.5 hours after we walked in the door---and cost over $100 per person. The food is definitely worth the price, but the service is lacking. The staff is very polite and professional, but I suggest they hire at least 2 more servers if they can't handle a moderately busy Friday night in Simsbury. read more

I am not normally the type of person to write a review for a restaurant, albeit granted, I've been to several great restaurants in the area and considered. What makes Millwright's stand out among these great restaurants is the fact that I came home from dinner and felt beyond compelled to actually put pen to paper on my experience. Firstly, the aesthetic appeal of Millwright's not only communicates class, it ensconces you into a cathartic mood that balances high-standard and relaxation to a perfect tee. Management really has the environment of the restaurant exactly where it needs to be, impressive, poised, and appealing. That being said, no matter how nice-looking, a restaurant is nothing without its purpose of operation, the food. And not to my surprise, the food lived up to the high standard that the environment and our server, Ron, imposed. Ron recommended the tasting menu, which is a 7 course meal that was absolutely delectable and very filling. It was accompanied by a wine pairing that he suggested, which was suited perfectly for the taste of every course within the tasting menu. I highly suggest trying that, although all of the food coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. I suppose this is due to chef Niles (I had to get his name because the food was really that good), and you could see the manifestation of this man's craft in every meal that came out of the kitchen. Obviously, a 5 star restaurant requires a 5 star chef, but this man cooks with an unmistakable distinction of excellence, which was reflective of my entire experience. Thank you Millwright's. read more

We had an amazing experience, from the food to the atmosphere to the customer service. We tried the seven course option, since we are big Top Chef fans, and Millwright's did not let us down. Each appetizer was unique and played with textures. The entrees were simple and well executed, really flavorful! We wish we lived closer, we would be visiting quite often. read more

Ok. Brunch. Under cooked steak twice, poached egg was undercooked. Good French press coffee. All and all blah. Not $80 for two with 2 drinks. read more

Best meal I've ever had. From the bread served with honey butter to the chocolate cake for dessert. We had the valentines day prefix menu and it was nothing short of perfectly crafted, thoughtfully prepared food. The service was top notch as well. I always appreciate a restaurant that gets both the food AND the service right because so few do. read more

We were thrilled to hear that a new restaurant was opening at one of our favorite dining locations in CT. As we already knew how beautiful the setting is, what surprised us was the truly excellent food and the first rate service. My wife had mentioned while making a reservation that we were celebrating a special occasion. When we arrived there was a congratulation card, and later the chef wrote the word congratulations in chocolate sauce on my dessert plate. For a beautiful location, quality of food, and top notch service this is now my pick for the #1 restaurant in the Hartford region. read more

Perfect! The food was absolutely amazing, the view of the waterfall and service rounded out an excellent evening. The food was exceptionally well prepared and plating was beautiful. I would not go there looking for some crazy inventive meals, but the preparations were creative and everything was seasoned properly and full flavored. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable- really well trained. They were initially attentive, however as the restaurant became crowded it was at least 15 minutes between dessert and presenting the check. The restaurant was way above average. It was an absolute delight to eat there. Expensive, bit not too expensive. I really felt like we got a great value. I cannot wait for a good occasion to return. read more

The exposed beams and original old mill ambiance, waterfall view just feet away...all the more captivating on an icy 2 degree evening...huge, open fireplace with a cozy blaze and wood enough to last till next New Year's hint of really good things to come Not disappointed, from appetizers to desert, cuisine lives up to the reviews. Don't miss the pear bramble with homemade (of course) maple ice cream for desert. Our waitress took the time to take us on a tour of the mill. Her exuberant spirit, lively conversation in addition to her picture taking capabilities contributed to a perfect 55th anniversary evening. read more

Ambiance is great and farm to table /local food is solid. Wait staff is super nice and prices are not unreasonable.

The food, as always, was excellent. However, the new nickle and diming policy at the tavern bar put a damper on the mood. Apparently there is a new bar manager who has decided to serve beer in 10oz tulip glasses. Now I know that beer containing 7% alcohol and up has started to be served in these glasses statewide - which makes sense so as to curb people becoming drunk on strong beers. However, serving "session" beers in anything other than a 16oz pint glass, yet charging the same price for a pint is not acceptable! I know we won't be coming back anytime soon. The prices are high enough, but to screw people out of 6oz's of beer on every pour is downright cheap and tacky. Tavern's serve pints, not child-size fairy snifters! read more

We sat at the bar. Sunny, the bartender was attentive, professional and friendly. The food was lacking, especially for the price. Not impressed. read more

I would rate Millwright's between a 3 and 4. The service and ambiance were certainly top notch! My husband and I came here to celebrate his birthday and our anniversary. The restaurant came very highly recommended by our friends who told us the tasting menu was the only way to go. We decided tasting menu it was, we wanted to get the full experience. I am 35 weeks pregnant so unfortunately I could not partake in some of the raw cheese/seafood options. My husband would have loved to do the chefs tasting menu but our male server (we had two servers, a tall guy and Bridget) insisted we share the same modified menu experience. Four of our courses were vegetarian, while they were all delicious and creative I am not sure they were worth the price point. I definitely left inspired by the food but still hungry. Bridget our server was absolutely lovely; very warm and explained every dish in detail. read more

4th visit and always very Quirky service every time! Food is good. ***Bottom line: KNOW your wines folks when coming here and ordering them---and do NOT trust the The maitre d (aka: "arrogant wine guy"). He totally blew us away with his attitude and foolish behavior. We ordered a Spanish Muga Prado Enea Red (http://www.wine-searcher.com/find/muga+prado+enea) on menu for over $100 bottle-- and they were out of it. We were still looking for something comparable and reviewing the wine list. "Arrogant Wine Guy" decides on his own to get us "something bigger yet comparable" and proceeds to go ahead and bring over an already opened & de-cantered new red spinning it around in his hand to open it up for presentation (NO bottle to be seen, btw) and also stated it was more but he will give it to us for same price. He poured 4 glasses on the table while we tried (all four of us tried)...we liked it just so-so, but my husband finally says---"Can we please see the actual bottle of what you just poured for us?" So, "Arrogant Wine Manager" brings over the bottle---in the meantime, we "google" the new wine bottle & vintage with our I-phones....and we immediately feel taken advantage of. This new (cost $9.99 bottle) of wine (de-cantered for presentation?...seriously?) for the same price as the original one we wanted? Here is the link to the wine he brought over to us: http://www.wine-searcher.com/wine-43216-2011-cusumano-nero-d-avola-sicilia-igt-sicily-italy Then when my husband politely asked him to take this wine away, the rude "Arrogant Wine Guy" became foolish. He said something like "I will do it this time, but we are a restaurant and we need to make money, blah! Blah! blah!. Shocking behavior honestly. My husband proceeds to ask really how much the new wine would cost him...and the guy FINALLY says $34.99 (his face beet red by now). We ordered a new simple CABERNET that is easily recognizable and we already know the true cost of. Our friends own a restaurant and we realize that restaurants need to make at least 3x markup on wines. No problem. That was not the point. We felt like he was trying to take total advantage of us. That is it. But, it was his attitude on top of it that was terribly upsetting to us. They took the new CABERNET off the bill, but my husband insisted on adding it back in. That is how WE roll! So, NO . We will not be going back here again, unfortunately....sigh:( My husband travels and dines all over the country and this has never happened to us. The Mill at 2T will continue to be our favorite. TRUST is a very important thing:) read more

A disappointing experience. We had really high hopes for this restaurant since the reviews were stellar and some friends have named it one of the best in the state. First with the positive. The venue is very nice. The setting is pretty and overall ambiance is rustic mixed with class. I enjoyed my appetizer as well as entree. The corn chowder was a nice presentation and delightful. The quail was stuffed with foie gras, served on a bed of leeks and hazelnuts. My husband ordered a NY Strip. What a disappointment! For $40, you'd expect a great piece of steak. Not this time. The very fatty entree was served room temperature at best. He would have mentioned this to our waiter, but the guy never came by to check on us or the food! We would have waited a good 30 minutes to speak to someone. The at first gracious waiter disappeared after dropping off our food. Only resurfacing when we had finished our meals to ask us about dessert. Not a good experience at all. Based on our anniversary dinner experience this evening, we will not be returning nor recommend this restaurant. read more

I can't speak highly enough of our experience with Millright's, and Jeff Mussman, their events coordinator. We were looking for the perfect location to hold a private Celebration of Life for my dad, and Millright's was most definitely it! From the beauty of the natural location, to the open and light-filled interior, to the delicious food, it could not have been a more perfect place to honor my dad's memory. Jeff was extraordinarily sensitive and attentive to our family's needs, and took the time to really listen to my mom. He worked with our thoughts on music, atmosphere, and timing, and was at our sides the entire afternoon- assisting our guests, serving the hors d'oeuvres and drinks, and making sure everything went smoothly and matched our vision seamlessly. For us, it was a day when emotions were high, and Jeff's competent, professional, and very kind approach was exceptional. Everyone who attended was extraordinarily pleased with their experience from start to finish, and has mentioned that they'd most definitely be returning to Millright's for dinner. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jeff and Millwright's for events of any kind- the staff and cuisine are absolutely stellar! read more

I brought my family to Millwrights for Easter brunch. I made a reservation 10 days in advance. Despite the main dining room being nearly empty when we arrived we were seated in the basement - alone - wedged in a corner. We asked to speak to the manager. After a ten minute wait he came down and told us we were seated in the basement because the people upstairs made reservations 20 days in advance. He was rude and unapologetic in his manner. At $50 a person for brunch it would seem he could have at least put a smile on. Shame we heard good things about the food but the bottom line is if you don't appreciate customers you wont have any. Walked out and will not bother to go back. read more

One of the best places I've been to...EVER. My hubby and I went here this past Saturday to celebrate his birthday. He had heard great things...and it certainly did not disappoint. They sat us near the window with a view of the lovely waterfall outside...and the inside was so beautiful...you can tell it is a really old building and it has many floors for seating and areas outside to walk around. The service was very knowledgeable, helpful and on point. Our server suggested we try the chefs choice..which is a 7 course dinner with optional wine pairing. We were a little hesitant to do this since we only eat fish and poultry and there were things like quail, rabbit and deer on the menu. Our sever assured us the chef would make all 7 courses fit our dietary needs....so we said HELL YEAH! $75 got us a 7 course dinner of delight that could not be beat. Not to mention the $45 wine pairing to accompany the glory. We first started off with a cheese puff (I could have eaten 10 of these) and some bubbly. Next we had the yellow tail tuna...raw like I prefer and it was succulent. The next 5 dishes were equal in awesomeness...roasted cauliflower, chicken over risotto, lobster over (grits?) and two desserts! One was a mousse that was so good and I believe the last one was a leche cake of sorts (the wine kept coming...even up to this point.. so I was feeling it)....all I know it is was all superb! They ended the evening with these caramel apple candies that their pastry chef created...I was eating these days later...so melt in your mouth fantastic! I will be back for sure....I was so pleased with this place it has become a new favorite! read more

Expectations were high but was very disappointed! Service was poor, food and beverage was VERY overpriced for the quality. ...a local 12oz draught beer should not cost $8.00. On a positive note, the atmosphere was very nice read more

I enjoy the view from this restaurant, and the patio in the summertime. The ambiance is one of its greatest assets as the florist who does the arrangements in the dining room is very talented and the fireplace in the tavern located on the lower level in cozy. I typically order the special soup that they have and a salad in the tavern. The menu is very pricy I generally cannot justify eating here unless it is a special occasion. That being said, I believe there are restaurants in the area that have more delicious and affordable food. I do like that you can choose to have a tasting menu and as long as you are open-minded, the chef is allowed to be more creative and i think this is where this restaurant excels. The drawbacks for me are that sometimes the food is not that hot (I was served both a lukewarm soup and cappuccino one night) and it tends to be salty. read more

I will say that i enjoyed my meal a bit - the duck was prepared well, while the other sides lacked a bit of taste. I appreciate the ambiance but I've been to hundreds of restaurants and it is so clear when the menu outclasses the quality of the chef and staff. The service was horrible and the offerings were acceptable. I would return if the prices were lower and the menu was comensurate with the acumen of the cook staff. They should be preparing grilled cheese not delicate French cuisine. Also, the "mill" name is so hackneyed and clearly a sad attempt to ride on 2Ts success. If you want actual fine dining go to On20 or Mill at 2t. WH center has a dozen superior restaurants. read more

Very disappointed! The food was just ok. My dish tasted charred. The portions were tiny. It was like they took a single serving of steak and sliced it to feed three people. They charged us $8.00 for filtered water. Oysters were served with no lemon or cocktail sauce but instead with some sort of vinaigrette. We were lectured when we requested what we wanted. Overall extremily pricey for what you got. I don't understand the populatrity! Oh .. forget that for bread they gave you was a thumbsize piece of corn bread and the menu was not appealing . read more

Excellent on EVERY level. Fabulous, attentive service. (they even re-folded my crumpled napkin & placed it next to my dessert dish so that it wasn't in my way). It was my birthday dinner from friend & we both loved everything. I started w/'2 Fall Soups in One'. Delicious. And 2 servers served them, w/the 2nd soup in little jars that they poured into our bowls. Nice touch. Then Pork Loin w/ tiny apples (carved out w/melon ballers?), Johnny Cakes, squash & smoked cream. Scrumptious. Dessert: Choc. Semifreddo, poached cranberries, cashews, tiny meringue drops & orange creme fraiche. Light, yummy. And when the ck came- mints with it? No... instead, 2 tiny lemon meringue tarts. Every course was a WORK OF ART. All delicious, & all refreshingly light. Fabulous staff, beautiful view of the waterfall outside the windows & inside, a rustic converted millhouse/barn look. New fav rest't! read more

Had dinner tonight in the Tavern. Table looked out over the waterfall. Food was great, waitstaff was great, even the bill was ok. Have eaten here 3 or 4 times over 5 years, this was the best. Thanks read more

Food was pretty good, not as amazing as I had hoped however. Service was very inconsistent and after the night was over I had given them 8 or 9 different strikes! went with my wife for out 28th wedding anniversary! They were nice to make a card for out special occasion the problem is that the spelling of my last name was incorrect and the card had happy 15th year ann. not 28. Nice jesture with the card then they screwed it up. Wanted to order the sampler but because my wife was not ordering it also they did not want to do it as the timing of the meals would not sync up so I couldn't order what I wanted :( (never had that happen in my life)! Appetizers and soup were good but portions small. Main courses were good but also a bit small but not that bad. Millwright Old Fashioned was excellent but it took about 15 minutes to get my second drink. Desserts were small and pricey but tasted very good. Free glass of Champagne to start the night was a nice touch. So overall happy with the food but service still needs some help. To end the night we wanted to check out the downstairs Tavern via the elevator oops! it didn't work!! read more

My husband and I have been at Millwrights 3 times and the food has been mostly flawless but the service needs much improvement. We recently went with four out of town guests and it was a little embarrassing at how long it took our waiters to come over and get a drink order. The number one rule of service should be to quickly get a beverage on the table. We had to wait 10 minutes before an order was taken, drinks came out at different times despite the fact that our table was adjacent to the little bar, and then we were served short martinis that had no danger of spillage during our toast. The apps, wine, entrees and desserts were all wonderful but, despite this fact, Millwrights will remain my 4th favorite restaurant in Simsbury which will only merit occasional visits. read more

Had our first "bad" meal at Millwrights. Have been there several time and always sat upstairs. This time we were downstairs. I know it's the same menu but it just wasn't as spectacular as we've had in the past. Perhaps just a bad kitchen day. We will be back. read more

Great food. Great atmosphere. And a great waitstaff make this one of my favorite restaurants in the state. The tavern downstairs is a good alternative if you have friends with you who prefer the tavern menu. read more

Great food and service. You get the sense that the owner/chef really care about the quality and presentation of your meal. Only two knocks. First, the portions in this pricy restaurant are generally small. And second, instead of bread on the table, each guest is provided with a small piece of cornbread. It's gone in one bite and, if not embarrassed, you have to flag down the waiter and ask for seconds. read more

Went to Millwrights for my wife's birthday and it was one of the best meals of my life. Normally I am not a fan of tasting menus because I always feel there are one or two dishes that miss the mark. All the dishes we had were incredible. The thing that stood out above all else was the tapioca appetizer. This dish is an incredible combination of flavor and texture. I've never eaten anything like it. It is an absolute must try! read more

This restaurant embodies everything I look for in a dining experience - inventive menu, bold flavors, thoughtful service and value in price. When you add in the fact that they have a commitment to using local products and are housed in such a beautiful and historic building and you have not only my favorite restaurant but a place that I think deserves to be talked about as one of the very best in New England. What I've found in past experiences is that farm-to-table concepts can walk a fine line of 'letting the product speak for itself' and unoriginal and while I can appreciate a peach at the height of its season, seeing the creative side of a chef is something I look forward to the most when dining out and Chef Tyler does a great job keeping the menu unique. We have eaten here on at least 5 occasions, including partaking in two different tasting menus. What strikes me the most about the flavors here aren't just how bold they are but how much balance they have and I think that's the hallmark of a very gifted chef and is a trait I think many restaurants lack. My favorite example of this was a dish we had in our first tasting menu which consisted of pickled, preserved, and roasted beets with cumin yogurt, rye crumble and fresh herbs. There was such a sweetness from the roasted beets and a tang from the preserved and pickled beets that was cut perfectly by the yogurt, with cumin being such a unique but spot on spice component. The rye crumble added texture while the herbs added freshness and color. The flavors were pronounced, the addition of cumin was so original, and by preserving the beets it showcased a culinary technique that you don't see everyday. Being that I wasn't even a fan of beets at the time, I remember feeling that if I gave Chef Tyler a list of foods that I didn't necessarily care for I'd have total confidence that he could come up with something that would make me a believer. Some other standout dishes we've had include fluke sashimi with pickled blueberry & yuzu, dashi-poached mussels, sausage stuffed quail, and a cardamom ice cream among many others. We've had such amazing service every time we've gone. During our first tasting menu, our server Lauren was just so genuinely nice and personable in a way that was warm, friendly and professional. When we mentioned we were considering doing a tasting menu because we were pretty adventurous eaters I felt like she was just as excited as we were to let the Chef take control of our meal. She went out of her way at the end of our dinner to show us a loft area that we inquired about when it would have been easy to slough of us off onto someone else since she still had other tables to worry about. The maitre d' Brent has been equally as good to us in our visits. Because we've celebrated birthdays here he's really gone above and beyond to make everyone feel special. Before we left one night I had asked about the name of a port wine that I had a few months prior that was part of our tasting menu and after letting me know the name and a little information about it, he said he'd be more than happy to help me track it down if I had a problem finding it locally. We were in the tavern area on one of our last visits when my girlfriend ordered a steak medium that came out closer to well done. Another server noticed that something wasn't right and when my girlfriend said 'I'm really sorry to be a pain but I think they cooked my steak a little past medium' the gentleman responded with, 'You absolutely aren't the one to be apologizing. I'm very sorry and I will have this corrected immediately.' About 30 seconds goes by and our server Chris comes by with wine that my girlfriend was drinking and topped off her glass with what he called 'apology juice' and looked at my empty beer glass and said, 'I really don't think she should be drinking alone right now' and refilled my glass on the house and asked if there was anything else he could get us in the meantime while they refired another steak. It's never easy bringing up an issue with your food at a restaurant but both servers that helped remedy the situation were so awesome about it, a perfect mix of no-nonsense fine dining and a few well timed, light hearted remarks from Chris that made us feel better about everything. As crazy as this sounds, although there was a minor issue with the food, the way it was handled and the way we felt afterwards was probably a top memory for me here. I heard Danny Meyer, the world famous restauranteur, say that people come to a restaurant for the food but return for the service. When you have a restaurant like Millwrights where both the food AND the service go above and beyond consistently, you have the makings of something very special and something that seems greater than the sum of its parts. This is fine dining disguised in such a relaxed and beautiful setting. It's our go-to spot! read more

Snapshot: Looking for a romantic, or elegant antiquity vibe with good food and service. This is a spot for you. When a reservation at another place fell through for our anniversary, my wife and I stopped into Millwrights for a drink. Given it was a Saturday evening at 8PM, all the tables seemed full, but the gent at the front said they had room downstairs by the fireplace. The space is a very open, antique mill with exposed century old chestnut beams and and large windows. Downstairs was more brownstone cobble walls and cozy with a roaring fire. We ordered drinks at the bar but a server came over and said he would take care of it for us. Staff seemed attentive without 'hovering'. Got a table quicker than we expected.Solid wine list. Not an overwhelming selection but what was there was very good. Menu was 'New England Farm to Table" fare. I had venison, that was excellent. My wife had duck breast, but my dish was better. Butternut squash was amazing and shows what enough butter and brown sugar can do. Overall, we very much enjoyed it and although it is a bit of a drive, we'd return but probably make a reservation ahead of time to get a table with a view of the beautiful waterfall. read more

Typical US restaurant. The food was amazing, but the staff was ready to admit that the courses were paced to get customers in and out in 2 hours so they could "accommodate additional reservations". I felt very rushed, even after very clearly requesting that they slow the pace down. They were serving our next course with wine tasting before we were half way done with our previous glass of wine. The only person that was apologetic was the guy forced to pour our wine. Somewhat disappointing. Especially at a $600 bill for 4 people. read more

Food was ok. Pretentious service and atmosphere. Cost of food not worth what you saw on your plate. Rushed through dinner to turn over table. Owner/Manager was in dining room the entire time, checking in and conversing with guests, some guests more than others. We got a 2 second "everything ok?" walk-by. Yes, we were dressed appropriately and yes, we have frequent and wonderful experience with upscale dining. Won't be back. read more
