Millwright's Restaurant

I Visited this cute restaurant for a surprise engagement. 10 guess we're invited. We started off with tavern wings and oysters as appetizers. The tavern wings were sweet chili flavored and were delicious. I also ordered a sugar plum 1911 hard cider, which was delicious. Then We ordered off a special menu that they offer on Tuesdays nights. Which is 3 COURSE PRIX FIXE For / $50 per person To start | had the Ricotta Ravioli - (honey nut squash, pumpkin seed granola) it wasn't bad but just not my cup of tea. For my main course I ordered the Half Chicken -(caulilini, broccolini, almonds, lemon jus) and it was delicious. Last but not least for dessert I ordered the Chocolate Turtle Cake - (salted caramel, pecan nougatine) which was amazing! Actually was my favorite dish! Our waitress was helpful and attentive to our table. Food was delicious and ambience was just right.

The atmosphere and charm is so lovely. I did the 3 course for $50. The smoke pork was excellent but the ravioli stole the show. For I had dessert comte cheese. Not sure if they burn the caramel or if it was the pickled pear, but something was slightly bitter, which created a contrast that I wasn't a fan of. The cocktails were also very well balanced and delicious. I did book a reservation, sense I had a little bit of a drive, and didn't wanna get stuck without a table. However, at 8pm on Thursday, it probably wasn't needed.

We went here for our anniversary dinner. We were met with a handwritten card congratulating us on our anniversary. Our waiter, Joe, was very attentive and pleasant. We had the tasting menu which included 5 courses of delicious food. Some of the courses were on the menu, but others were not so those were fun little surprises. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back! Our favorite dishes were the tuna tartar and the scallops, both were 10/10!!

Enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Millwright’s. The dining room’s ambiance is rustic and beautiful and we had view overlooking the waterfall. Service was top notch and the food was delicious. I had the swordfish schnitzel and my husband had the steak, both were great. The dinner and overall experience is worth every penny and we both look forward to coming back soon.

Interesting experience. I’d like to start by making sure that one thing is clear. The service and the atmosphere was perfection, the food on the other hand was lackluster. We opted for the tasting menu, a 5 course introduction to the “best on the menu” or best that represents the restaurant. I inquired at the beginning of the meal if the portions would be small so I could gauge whether or not to order something to take home. The portions were actually way too much to be considered a “tasting menu”. I enjoy fish but I was disappointed that 3/5 of my dishes were fish. The food was salty. So salty. Two of my plates were chipped. One of the drink pairings I didn’t like and they kindly refunded my entire drink pairing which was a nice sentiment but overall I was really disappointed with the tasting menu choices and just the portion size (which I didn’t eat all of it) was still too much. I woke up in the middle of the night with a stomach ache despite not even finishing the food. Disappointed with the experience but the service was good. Atmosphere is lovely. Not sure if I’d go back.

Been here many times… WOW! One of my favorite restaurants in CT. Lincoln is one of the best waiters ever. Ask for him! Just came last night for NYE 5-course meal. Check out this phenomenal Duck Breast from NYE. So so tender & rendered fat perfectly. Crispy, juicy, & perfect amount of different textures. The poached pears & red wine jus added just the right amount of sweetness to the duck as well.

Had high hopes for this justifiably lauded restaurant. We had the chef’s tasting menu with wine pairing. Every dish was sublime, but the clam chowder tapioca dish was the most stunningly creative. The bass and duck dishes also shone. Great service and lovely ambiance made this meal worth every penny.

By far one of our favorite places for a special occasion in Connecticut. Iconic New England fare, particularly the Tapioca appetizer. The views of the River/waterfall are also incredible, although the restaurant would stand alone as a gem without the views.
