10/10 this is arguably the best restaurant in Connecticut...and the critics agree! They have a wonderful atmosphere, perfect for an intimate dinner. Their prix fix menu is the star of the show! They always have wonderful options, perfectly suited to the season. I tried the wagyu beef short rib and it melted in my mouth!! The apple and squash chaud froid was truly delicious as well! Their servers are attentive and helpful, Julie is particularly delightful! I plan to come here every year for my anniversary! read more

How many times have you taken food out of a frying pan or off of a grill and put it on a plate? Sitting at Present Company's "Chef's Table" tonight, we saw the chefs do this dozens of times, as well as swoosh on a ribbon of sauce or sprinkle on some finishing garnishes. The thing that impressed us was the degree of care and detail and precision they displayed to make sure that everything was placed "just so" and make those plates magazine-cover worthy. Our anniversary dinner was easily a five star experience. Service was incredible, starting with our very personable server Sarah, who knew the menu and beer and wine lists forwards and backwards and inside and out and upside down. She was very attentive, very helpful and as pleasant as could be. The Chef's Table is a long bar-like counter with stools, but instead of a bartender and a wall of liquor bottles on the other side, is the restaurant's open kitchen and talented chefs. We sat two feet away from them, and watched a team of talented pros crank out these gorgeous looking plates of food all night long. They grilled, they heated pots and pans of sauces and vegetables and sides on the kitchen's ten burner stove. They grated and micro-planed and sprinkled stuff around like fairy dust. They worked as a team all night long and found time to chat with each other, confirm what orders were new and what was ready, shoot the breeze with us and check on how we liked our meal. And man oh man, did we like our meal! It started off with two complimentary dishes - small toasts with pistachio butter and an asparagus vichyssoise with a dollop of crème fraiche. We ordered a Kim Crawford Rosé from New Zealand ($10) and a Trappist Ale ($7). The first real decision we had to make was how were we going to order, because you can go in a few different directions here. They have a five-course tasting menu with or without wine pairings ($75/$100), or you can order a la carte, or if you visit on Tuesday or Wednesday they offer a $40 prix fixe special. We went the a la carte route and selected two appetizers, two entrees, and two desserts. The appetizers were "hand cut buckwheat pasta with spring onion, gruyere fondue, and pickled ramps for $12, and grilled octopus with lobster and carrot minestra, israeli cous cous, and sherry caramel for $17. They were both incredible combinations of sights and tastes. They were both presented beautifully! The pasta sat on a green sauce base with all sorts of things sprinkled on top. It tasted so light and delicate! The octopus was amazing- imagine a soup bowl full of lobster chunks, carrots, and cous-cous swimming in a dark gold minestrone like sauce with four hunks of the very best octopus I've ever had sitting above it all, like kings on a throne. I order octopus whenever I see it on a menu, and this was clearly the very best version I ever had- tender as could be and totally delicious. Our entrees were grilled swordfish with crispy potato, english peas, and salted peanuts in a coconut red-curry sauce ($32) and a pesto wrapped lamb loin with chickpea and ricotta dumplings, and golden beets in a rosemary red wine jus ($35). They were equally as gorgeous to look at and as delicious to taste, as were the appetizers. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=o5J2nFrMY3gQTsSCgMZumw&userid=cVrM2BvOvPV0Vi_rC8kepQ https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=D8-5DpWdwH-4FHuxP_iGpA&userid=cVrM2BvOvPV0Vi_rC8kepQ We wrapped things up with a Small French Press Coffee for $6, and a Cherry Clafoutis Luxado Gelato with Milk Jam ($8) and a White Chocolate Mint Cremeux ($9). We shared both and they were so good I can't put it into words. Bottom line, our special occasion a la carte dinner of three courses each, plus two wines and a beer ran $155. It was worth every cent. read more

Overall, this is an excellent restaurant. The pace of the meal was spot on and allowed our party adequate time for conversation. The ambiance was also intimate and perfect for a romantic evening out or a celebration. This experience is worth a drive for sure. I wound l say the one aspect of this experience that I wish was more refined, and would have pushed this meal over the top, would be further refinement of the seasoning of dishes. Do not get me wrong, Present Company has no competition in terms of fine dining in the Farmington valley. I would highly recommend trying this restaurant for a special occasion. read more

Took my wife here for our 3 year anniversary and it was everything I expected and more. This restaurant is an experience. The cuisine not only attacks your taste buds with a blend of sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami but also incorporates your visual, smell, and touch senses. What really took our experience over the top was our server Stephanie Cohen. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable about the menu but also extremely friendly and attentive. You can tell she enjoys what she does. Thank you for making our 3 year anniversary special Steph and the rest of the staff. read more

I had the most amazing appetizer as part of the prix fix menu. The beets and goat cheese salad was the best I've ever had. Then came the rest of the food I tasted was just confusing. It had no dominant flavor and it seemed like the food as a hodge podge of ingredients. I ate the stuffed fluke and the it tasted like nothing. Truly nothing! I then got the panna cotta and it tasted bad. The tart sorbet fought with the underwhelming flavor of the basil panna cotta. We had great service and it is certainly a lovely restaurant but I don't understand the reviews! read more

The food is good , the place is cute . That being said based on the prices the place should look like a palace. Its EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. You are paying strictly for the food its located in a warehouse setting and its tiny. Ownership has found a way to MAXIMIZE profits . Menu is short and sweet price fixe means Noone leaves without spending a certain price point, they are aware of who their customer base is and so they are priced accordingly. The GP on this place has to be 60-80 %. The price fixe concept . You HAVE to order 3 course 4 course or 5 course. Even if you don't want to . This justifies the price . But not everyone wants 3.4.5 course meals , not everyone eats dessert . Not everyone wants a appetizer. Doing business this way optimizes profits . Under the guise of "look you had a 3 course meal" but I didn't want 3 courses. You want to serve me 3 course because it makes your GP work. You buy in bulk cheap and you sell it all because you are forcing your customers to have multiple courses. The food was good and the presentation is great. It's gourmet cuisine , so its unique its looks great , and portions are small . The service is good. Staff is friendly . (Wait staff here had to be extremely happy as they make a small fortune in tips). The issue is minus the location and stunning decor you are simply paying for the food and its grossly overpriced. I could name several restaurants on the water , or with a sophisticated chic interior design that are still 40% less expensive. In todays market there are great chefs and great food everywhere esp in CT . You have to find a balance of providing great quality but not price gouging. VALUE !!! VALUE !! VALUE !! We all want to make a great profit at what we do but there has to be practicality. read more

Great food but pricey. Be forewarned, this small, beautiful place has great food but they have an unusual price structure. They serve 3 and 4 course meals for $84 and over $100. That's your choices! I absolutely loved the food and the service was over the top, but be prepared to pay for it. The system seems to work for them as it was packed. You should call ahead for a reservation for sure (we got very luck I was told). read more

This meal was absolute perfection from greeting to last bite. The place is so cute inside and I love the open kitchen. All four of us got the tasting menu so we really sampled most of the menu. Every bite was as good as the last. Even the citrus/pink peppercorn popcorn was just so.damn.good. I didn't take one picture because I picked up every plate and admired its beauty before I dig in. The berry gravy on the venison was prob the highlight for me. So dense with flavor but just sang with notes of light fresh fruit at the same time. The whole meal was magical and perfect and I cannot wait until my next trip. read more

Best tasting restaurant I've been to in CT. Everything on your plate has a purpose...visually, for taste, and texture.

My boyfriend knows that I prefer experiences over gifts and dinner at Present Co did not disappoint for my birthday! We opted for the 3-course prix fixe menu and each course was absolutely incredible. (if you have the option to get the smothered broccoli, just do it!) We will absolutely be back soon. read more

So I have not eaten in the restaurant during covid, it was the last place we ate out at in March of 2020 though and we have tried their take away a few times. All in all, I am not impressed. The food is ok. The dine in "build a meal" is a bit confusing and the meal descriptions sometimes are a bit too complicated. We had heard about the fried chicken take away dinner and signed up for one. (You can order a few days ahead). Not sure what happened but we did not get a gravy, the chicken thigh was rancid and we got a bunch of boneless chicken fingers. Normally, I think my kids are wrong when they say they taste something off in a meal, but the chicken coating had a strange flavor. When I spend more money than I think I should be paying, dinner needs to be perfect. Not the case here, ever. So sorry to say, I am done here. read more

We decided for our 7 year anniversary we'd love to do a chef's table/tasting menu. And this restaurant did not let us down. 5 course tasting menu. When I made our reservation I mentioned it was for our anniversary and upon arrival they wished us a happy anniversary and then followed up with complimentary glasses of champagne. Our server was excellent and every dish was described in detail as they were served. We also chose the wine pairings to go with dinner and we were not disappointed. Despite being very expensive I could not recommend this experience highly enough, made our anniversary so special read more

I stopped by here with some coworkers for their Wednesday night prefix menu. For a set price you can order 3 items from appetizer, sea, land, or dessert part of the menu. We were seated close to the kitchen which looked like we were watching a cooking competition from food network. The food we ordered was artfully plated and unique. My favorite was the short rib. The flavor of the short rib was rich and it was spread throughout each bite of the potatoes as well. The fish was something different to try, not my favorite but still interesting. Salad was uniquely prepared and tasted great. The pre fix menu ended up being just the right amount of food with a nice selection of dinner plates. This was one of the nicer meals I've had in the greater Hartford area and wouldn't hesitate to make another trip back here! read more

Great food. Awesome drinks. Chef knows what's he's doing and runs a tight kitchen. Unfortunately he has the personality of a table napkin so don't waste your time sitting at the chefs counter expecting any good conversation from him. Will definitely go again, but will sit at a regular table. read more

I have gone to Present Company 4 or 5 times. Every time it's so delicious. I brought my cousin when it first opened and she was a little aghast at the "fancy" aspect and prices, but after having a delightful meal, she's obsessed and happy to splurge. I've turned friends into "foodies" when they're visiting CT based on visits to PC. I love that the menu changes seasonally. We always try to catch a prix fixe evening when possible. I don't think I've ever had a dish I didn't love! We typically prefer sitting at the Chef's counter. As well as loving to eat, I also love to cook so it's cool to hear about the ingredients(when they have time to banter a little) and watch the dishes being prepared. The staff is attentive but not overbearing. A few times when the menu first changed and I was at a table vs the counter, the wait staff seemed a little stumped with questions. I like to get the opinions and recommendations from the staff so that was a little tough. But, beyond that I've never had any issues. Everything is fresh and high quality. The atmosphere is awesome. It's a must-go place! read more

I stopped by here this past Wednesday by myself for dinner. When looking for somewhere to eat using OpenTable this happened to come up and so I made the reservations for a party of 1 and immediately headed over. Present Company has a rustic house like feel to it complete with nicely worn wooden floors and exposed brick walls on two sides and a visible wooden roof. They have sliding barn doors around a lot of the restaurant and the dining room is separated from the high top tables by a set of windows with the frames painted fire engine red. On this night there was seating in either the dining room, high tops or at the chefs bar. While I chose the dining room I probably should have chosen the chefs bar where I could have seen the kitchen work. Even so one of the workers (possibly the manager?) was super nice to me and helped me feel welcome throughout the meal. Tuesday and Wednesdays here are pre fixe menu night which I didn't know beforehand and for $40 you get an appetizer, entree and dessert. I decided to start off with the shellfish remoulade which the menu said consisted ofalaskan king crab, chilled mussels, clams and shrimp, curried mayonnaise, tomato confit, radish marmalade. It came out plated beautifully, felt fresh and was very tasty. You could easily tell the king crab, clams and shrimp apart and I loved the addition of texture and color brought in by both the radish and celery. Then for my entree I decided on the filet of beef "wellington" which the menu described as truffled mushroom duxelle, puff pastry, potato purée, classic bordelaise sauce made with beet root. Once again it was played beautifully and tasted great. The filet was cooked to a perfect medium rare as recommended by the chef and was super tender. It paired perfectly with the strong earthy flavor from the mushrooms and crispy and salt covered puff pastry. The potato purée and bordelaise sauce weren't just pretty garnishes either as the potatoes were well seasoned and the bordelaise good enough that I used a piece of bread to eat some more. Last but certainly not least was dessert and I went with the floating island. The menu describes it as soft brûléed meringue, crème anglaise, scottish shortbread and crème de cassis. It was plated a little more chaotically than the first two courses (Probably to add the cookies crunch to each bite) but still ended up being amazing. The meringue had a nice flavor and texture to it while the chilled creme anglais underneath was rich and almost tasted like melted ice cream. Meanwhile the shortbread added some nice crunch to the dish and a little bit of saltiness in a few bites which really made the dish even more enjoyable. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Everything here was top notch from the plating of the food to the taste of the food and even the service which helped make this the best meal I have eaten in CT this far. read more

If you're on a diet and enjoy paying lots of money for miniscule portions, this is the place for you! The portion sizes were laughable, bordering on insulting. The beet salad consisted of ONE beet sitting in the middle of the plate surrounded by sauce; likewise, the cauliflower "steak" was a single, charred floret surrounded by more sauce. The oso bucco was like none I've ever seen: a pre-rolled piece of dried pork resembling a jelly roll slice surronded by a thick piece of fat. Really? Shameful! read more

There is a need for a high-quality restaurant in the area with a tasting menu and experienced chef. With high expectations, we chose the tasting menu and wine pairings. Unfortunately, the food and wine fell far short of the mark. Pros: -Excellent, attentive waitress -Wine pairings with tasting menu are free on Thursdays -Woodsy setting by the river -Cassoulet was right on the mark Cons: -Drafty and cold on a winter's night. Several diners wore overcoats throughout the service -The wine list was weak, with haphazard offerings that would greatly benefit from a sommelier. Particularly egregious is not providing vintage years for offerings, which we find disprectful to those with any knowledge of wines -One would assume fish would be a strength for a chef with experience at Le Bernardin, but the salmon was unevenly cooked (raw in the middle) and flavorless from a lack of seasoning -There was a more than 30-minute wait between courses at one point during the service, which is inexcusable -Most of the dishes were forgettable and/or mediocre In summary, save your money and go elsewhere. read more

"Desert island" meal? Hands down Present Company is without a doubt a Top 3 contender. Straight-to-the point but sincere, simple yet tasteful; much like the food and ambiance, Jeff Lizzotte and his fine team at PCo. do a wonderful job ensuring that your dining experience is exceptional. Be it a (regular) dinner, holiday celebration, or special occasion: PCo. has been a regular go-to for me. Why? Because I know that no matter when I visit, PCo. will deliver. PCo. do their best at buying and shopping local and it shows. It's especially great seeing the menu change and grow with the seasons -- allowing you to not only sample weather-appropriate plates, but seasonally sustainable ones too. When it comes to indulging, I often gravitate to the duck or rabbit when it's available. But you can't go wrong with sharing any of the starters. In fact, I really insist you start off doing so -- as it wouldn't be fair to a complete dining experience without so! If you find yourself completely at a loss however, opt for the "Chef's tasting menu" which is a 5 course party in your mouth (minus the stress of having to figure out how to have said party) Oh! Don't forget to leave without trying something from the dessert menu, you won't be disappointed. I adore all that is PCo. From their amazing team, to the cozy and intimate space, and the unforgettable experiences here -- I can't wait to come back (you really should too) read more

I want to give the flavor of the food 5 stars, but not the prices, amount of food, waitress, and overall experience. So here is my breakdown of each part of our dining: My husband and I went out with another couple, we all love dining out, and our friends own a restaurant. When we walked in, I liked the look of the restaurant. Rustic but elegant with a red wall, very London like dividing the dining room. The kitchen is exposed to the dining room, where you can see the chefs working like little bees all in sync, with their white crisp chef coats. The wait staff: they don't have a uniform, you don't know who works there and who is a guest. Our waitress didn't introduce herself with a name, she just walked up and said, hi I will be taking your order today. Not over the top friendly, very court, looked like she was in a bad mood with a smirk instead of a smile. She told us we need to make a decision and all of us order from the menu, or the chefs tasting menu or not?? Whatever the NOT meant. We asked if there were any specials, she said no, because the menu is only two weeks old. She asked if we want wine or beer, which told us there is no bar. My husband is not a wine drinker, so I suggest you bring your own nip. Orders: A nice touch on the house was a feta cheese and fig parfait with toasted almonds. Delicious! My husband was the only one who ordered a starter Shellfish "Remoulade" $14 it was delicious, as I took a taste. Than we all ordered the main course. I had the Hen au Vin, while the flavor was amazing, and I love mushroom, but at $31, I only had 6 bites of chicken, seriously! Large plate with not much food on it, not enough to feed me. My husband ordered Grilled Swordfish also delicious but he paced him self eating slowly, as he only had about 6 bites of the fish at $33. My girlfriend ordered the Chou Farci $29 and was disappointed, she ate it unsatisfied with her choice. Her hubby had Steak Hambourgeoise and again great flavors just not enough food at $35. Also, once our main course arrived, the table was too small to hold the plates and our water and wine glasses. Dessert: We ordered all four on the menu, and shared. In my opinion they were all good. My espresso was terrible, no mocha. It tasted weak, and cold. After we were done: I was trying to get a picture of the four of us, and my wave of hand was dismissed by 4 staff members running around as if they had 1,000 guest to feed. SO, with a $308 bill we looked at each other, laughed and said I'm hungry! We went to our friends house in Simsbury for drinks and ordered a pizza. Yes we did! We will not return, we left very disappointed. For me it was not worth the drive from Avon, better off going in the other direction to West Hartford. read more

If you want a unique high caliber dining experience with many options, then this restaurant is your place. The restaurant offers a rare find; Prix fixe, chef's tasting or ala carte as menu options that features unique and awe inspiring cuisine. The menu also offers a broad selection of artisanal chef prepared meals with a true focus on flavor (both complimentary and contrasting) and visual excitement. All four people in our party selected the Prix Fix option that allowed for 3 dishes from the complete menu and all four of us where extremely satisfied with the quality of the dishes, the presentation and the portion size. We sampled many unparalleled dishes, which is the true benefit of a Prix Fix option. I would highly recommend the Salad Maison, Berkshire Pork Paté, Maine Lobster and Peekytoe Crab Mitonnée, Hudson Valley Foie Gras and Braised Fig Ravioli, Confit of Lamb Shoulder Navarin, Hen au Vin (see photos) and really anything on the menu, which changes often. Our server was very attentive, knowledgeable and answered questions quickly and confidently when asked. The atmosphere is rustic with a touch of shabby chic and has limited tables, so reservations are strongly encouraged. Due to the smaller restaurant size it can get quite loud but it is a fun energetic atmosphere. The alcoholic selection is limited to beer and wine with wine being the star, making up the majority of the offerings. If you are looking for a spectacular restaurant, away from it all with a fun energetic vibe..then this should be your next stop. read more

Took advantage of the Tuesday prix fixe dinner. Everything from the bread to the butter poached Stonington Shrimp, the Flounder entrée and then the Pineapple roti were wonderful and each a work of art. There was even my favorite Sancerre by the glass. We sat at a high top overlooking the open kitchen and what a view that was! Service was superb. read more

Present Company just nails it on every front - service, quality, presentation, taste, creativity, ambiance, and the list goes on. I finally visited last week just shy of their first anniversary (happy birthday PC!) and have been kicking myself for taking so long to stop in. A friend and I visited on a whim after spending the afternoon at a nearby winery. If the starters are any indication, I'll be returning ASAP for the chef's tasting menu (and I don't mean ASAP like another year from now). Everything was unbelievable, starting with the bread and herbed compound butter and clam custard amuse bouche. We kicked things off with a delightfully elevated version of chicken and dumplings with chicken confit and rich foie gras agnolotti, and followed with some really bright, vibrant flavors in the rare yellowfin tuna with cucumber/seaweed salad and ginger-coriander vinaigrette. We also lovedddd the fluke crudo with corn fritter and squid ink. Seriously, what sorcery is this? How are these recipes dreamed up? Hats off to you, Chef Jeff. As if those three starters (seriously, these are just the starters) weren't magnificent enough, we finished off with a spectacular peach melba sorbet dessert that tasted like summer. Thanks to the PC team for making my first visit a memorable one. It's truly such a special place and I can't wait to come back. read more

Had a superb "special night" dinner here. The ambiance was lovely, with a clean cozy vibe. Amanda our server was excellent and the food was fabulous. We had the rainbow cauliflower topped with a 3 minute egg as a shared app(very rich good to share ) which was heaven. I had the Witch flounder and lobster /avocado salad which was also out of this world . The lamb loin and sausage was also a hit at our table. Great job PC ...we will be back Shout out to Chef Jeff's mom on her delightful Easter floral arrangement read more

This place was hands down amazing!! First off I love the small, intimate area and decor. From the second we walked in we were greeted by a lovely lady who asked us for our reservation. She was very kind and sweet and as they were clearing our table for us brought us over the drink menu and got us two drinks while we waited a few moments. We were lucky and sat in the back area where we could see the chef and sous chefs work. It was the neatest thing ever. They all smiled when we sat down and kept on working. We chose the chefs menu and I was absolutely blown away! I did it with the wine pairing too and found the pairing to be amazing. Everything was delicious! I loved getting the amuse Bouche and the chef personally came to our table and delivered the food telling us what it was. He was such an pleasant man with such a creative flair. He knew a bunch of the other diners and gladly spoke to all them while running the kitchen. I couldn't tell you everything we had as I was more focused on the delicious food in front of me but I can tell you that if possible you should do the chefs tasting menu. Every single bite was amazing and our plates were wiped clean every single course. It was worth the money and I can't wait to go again!! Thank you for such a fabulous time and delicious meal!! read more

Present Company is amazing for their in restaurant dining and is absolutely 5 star and worth it for their price. This review is more for their current take out options. Their take out is currently a rotating menu with 1 large family meal daily. We got their buttermilk fried chicken which came with waldorf salad and biscuits and gravy. All the food was delicious, but the fried chicken was just missing some je ne sais quoi. This might purely be because it has been sitting and waiting because of take out and that if we were able to enjoy the food in the restaurant, then it would still be equally amazing as our previous meal there. We will definitely be back when they are back open for dining, but don't think it would be high on our list for take out. read more

Overrated. Despite a nice atmosphere and attentive service, the food is underwhelming. Wanted to like it. Nice outdoor dining deck which looked to be a new addition, plates that came out nicely garnished and colorful but there was too much going on in each plate and the food lacked seasoning and taste. I ordered the duck but it came with what seemed to be peppers and onions that you'd typically find on a sausage bomb. The dish looked nice and colorful but it just doesn't go together. My wife had the scallops which looked to be battered with what seemed to be beautiful fried sear marks on top- again, presentation looked amazing-but there was no flavor. I feel like there is too much emphasis on presentation and a menu that reads well but the pairings don't match and the main items are just so-so. And for the price, It's hard to recommend. read more

$105 for fried chicken???? That's ridiculous. Were the chickens raised in simsbury, received daily massages, and only listened to classical music? That's a bit steep for a bucket of chicken. read more
