Best Cozy Restaurants in Simsbury

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.

Another great dinner. Toscana salad family style is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the Sicilian mule.

Really enjoyed our meal here last evening; Went in after a film and were seated promptly (we did have reservations, a must in West Hartford Center on Saturday night); they are known for their wine list and did not disappoint, had a couple of glasses of Rioja (excellent) and my companion had her usual Chardonnay. We shared the Pea Fritters which were amazing, a very unique app with a lovely sweet sauce reminiscent of Tamarind. She had the risotto, which she really enjoyed, and I had the steak, which was very good, and a reasonable portion (no one needs to eat a pound of meat). It was served with delicious roasted carrots and mashed potatoes, also very good. We finished up with coffee/tea, and shared the yummy chocolate tart. The restaurant has a great urban vibe and is very loud. Great service and very attentive staff and management. You definitely will not regret eating here!

Perfect for a date night! The pear martini was amazing! The ricotta with fig toast appetizer and the gnocchi were delicious. The main course took a little bit of time to come out, but we didn’t mind at all. We topped off the night with cappuccinos and the chocolate torte with homemade salted caramel sauce. Chef’s kiss!! We will definitely be back!

Excellent service. Food was fresh, well cooked and delicious!
