Located about 2 miles from Highcroft Apartments, Millwrights answers the call for upscale eateries in Simsbury. Rustic and cozy decor make for an enjoyable and romantic experience, with a stone fireplace, exposed wood, grand chandeliers, and a view of the mill’s waterfall

The chef describes the food as “New England cuisine with a twist." If you’re looking to have it all, try the chef’s tasting menu with an option wine pairing. For a more laid-back feel, opt to dine in the downstairs tavern. But don’t worry, both the tavern and full dining room menu options are available!

You can grab lunch on Fridays only, and brunch on Sunday mornings. The rest of the week, Millwrights is only open for dinner, aside from special occasions. But be sure to make a reservation, especially on weekends, as this is a very popular dinner spot!
