    Came back to this place for a wonderful night. Had their fall menu with seasonal used items. Wonderful atmosphere and quick service we did the 3 course preset. Presentation and flavor on all the dishes was great. Good list of options. I enjoyed beef carpaccio, fish, and the beet pistachio desert. I thought the fish was flavored and cooked well- as well as the you could taste the beets in the desert which I loved. Always have had great service here. Overall enjoyed and recommend

    As we wind down on 2024, we finally had a chance to check out Present Company in Simsbury. This restaurant is perfect for any special occasion or date night. They offer two menu choices: a seasonal pre-fixe or a chefs tasting that changes daily. The space is small and intimate with an open kitchen so you can watch the magic happen. We were blown away by the quality of food and creativity in many of the dishes. This would be the perfect place to celebrate NYE. We tried: Espresso Martinis Wagyu Beef Capaccio Pork Belly Gyoza Duck Conchiglie Romesco Risotto Bacon Wrapped Venison Halibut Sweet Potato Crème Brûlée Beetroot Cake The service was also top notch and we loved the wine selections.

    What a lovely experience! I sat at the chef's counter and appreciated that Drew and Sadie interacted with the guests. Sometimes, I've been at chefs' counters where the chefs ignored the people dining. The drinks seem to be named in tribute to individual staff members, which is a fun little touch. There's a drink called "Let's Poison Mat," so I asked why we wanted to poison him! Mat seems like a nice guy based on the stories they told about him. I had the four-course prix fixe with a cocktail and a glass of wine. It was the beginning of ramp season, so the bread service came with a ramp hummus, which was delicious. I also liked the little snack of popcorn. I selected the sweetbreads, the conchiglie with sunflower pesto, the roast duck, and the kiwi tart. Chef Drew explained that the sweetbread preparation was styled after chicken nuggets--even if you haven't had sweetbreads before, I think you would like this. Chef Mat designed the pasta with sunflower seed pesto because his girlfriend has a nut allergy. See, what a nice guy! And it was yummy. The duck was exceptional and served with a sweet potato and tonka bean puree. The tonka bean gave the sweet potato a nice savoriness you don't usually get with just the potato. Finally, the kiwi tart was a lightly sweet finish to a delicious meal. I wish I had found Present Company at the beginning of my trip, rather than the end of it, so I'll have to return another time!

    Great ambiance, great staff, great menu. Present Company is a dining experience--not just a meal. Like others here, I also highly recommend chef's counter seating. There are 3-, 4-, and 5-course prix fixe menus to choose from. Every course was good. Another thing I loved about Present Company was the location... Tariffville is quiet, accessible, and most importantly, NOT West Hartford (WeHa is so tired, LOL). Make sure to dine alongside good conversationalists--making several courses to order takes time! And... expect to spend $250-$300 for 2 (especially if you're tipping appropriately).

    Fall menu

    All the stars, well deserved ! The menu changes according to the season . So I'm sure the menu is different now . Nonetheless everything I tried during the fall menu was absolutely amazing . Started with the a good glass of Malbec and a jumbo crab cake . Crab cake was amazing , and fresh . I chose the trout as my entree . Simply amazing! I loved it so much. Dessert we had carrot cake , most light but filling piece of cake I ever had. Great experience! Just and fyi reservations are for the pre fixed menu option, you can sit at the bar in the back and order a la carte. Alicia I believe her name was gave us splendid service and experience!

    We decided to try Present Co to celebrate my wife's birthday and we were pleased from the start. We were welcomed by friendly hostess and our waitress was amazing making this a fantastic experience. The drinks were great! My wife had the Lady in Red and I ordered a Manhattan both drinks were perfect. The menu has 2 pre fixe options and a 5 course chef's tasting option. My wife ordered the 3 course pre fixe and I ordered the 4 course pre fixe. The food was cooked perfectly and the kitchen staff paid attention to details. They spaced out our meals in a manner where we did not feel rushed or ignored. It truly felt like an experience and we can't wait to comeback. My 2 favorite dishes was the ravioli which was stuffed with braised beef short rib which had amazing flavors and the pistachio crusted rack of lamb. The rack of lamb was cooked perfect and looked great. Present company is perfect for date night or an intimate gathering.

    Date night was amazing! Glowing 5-star tribute to an unforgettable culinary experience that was deemed one of the best ever. From the flawless service to the stunning presentation of the dishes. The food was a harmonious blend of flavors that danced on the palate and lingered in the memory. This was truly an exceptional dining experience that surpassed all expectations. Will definitely return!

    Amazing experience. Exquisite ambiance in an old mill setting. We both chose the 4 course prix fixe menu option. Started with sourdough focaccia bread and pan seared scallops that were cooked to perfection. Risotto with ramps snd peas was our second option. Equally delicious. Veal masala was our entree option which was fried and served with salad and balsamic glaze. Dessert was lavender panna cotta with lemon wafers and a birthday candle. Staff did not miss a beat. Great for an intimate dinner but large groups also welcome.

    Great interior

    It's been some time since we ate here and eating inside during this pandemic has been a rare event. This was totally worth it. The food was universally excellent. From a root vegetable tartare (seriously a vegetarian dish for everyone) to the venison (maybe the most tender venison I can remember having, not like I've had it for years) to a chocolate dessert, everything was heavenly. The professional server helped us throughout. My dining companions similarly loved their dishes too. Good to pick off their plates. With a prix fixe menu there's plenty of food for everyone. We even got a great rose wine. That's not to say everything was perfect. The kitchen struggled with getting out our dishes in a timely fashion. BUT, this is a place that knows that these things happen. It's what you do in response that matters. As a result they offered to get an after dinner drink and tweak the bill. It wasn't needed but was appreciated. And besides, we had a delightful time enjoying company even if the meal was close to 3 hours. When it's this good, you love to linger. It was voted restaurant of the year in 2019 for a reason. Now is your time to go.

    Cozy space with an open kitchen, where the only option is a 75$ tasting menu. The tasting menu is comprised of an appetizer, main course, and desert, and the portions are fairly large. I was stuffed by the end. The food itself is very fresh (think farm-to-table) and plated beautifully. I tried the chicken pasta, beef short ribs, and split desert with my parents and my friend. It was all solid The service and drinks were very solid as well 8

    They had about 5-6 beer options (nice ones, sea hag, lord hobo etc.) and about 30-40 wine options. I didn't know what would go well with the food and so I had the chefs tasting with wine pairing and I have actually found a couple of wines I took a…

The Illi Dilly was surprising tasty with the fried pickles, red onions and a creamy white ranch-like dressing. The Margarita pizza was brightly colored with quite flavorful sauce, and fresh mozzarella & Basil and the crust on the pie was thin and crunchy. The Bucatini with mushrooms and peas was delightfully al dente and robustly flavored with fresh herbs. Service is always welcoming and cheery here. We always look forward to our monthly visit. A job very well done, as usual!

Other people in the party had eggplant Parmesan, which reportedly was terrific, chicken Parmesan that was cooked beautifully with lots of grilled chicken a lovely marinara that was topped with lots of cheese and spiced. The ancient grain risotto was again fantastic, and anyone who can cook a risotto well deserves kudos. The dessert I had the strawberry shortcake that wasn't too sweet and had a beautiful flavor of fresh strawberries throughout with lots of whipped cream. The Keylime pie was tart and delicious. The Brooklyn layered chocolate cake was tremendous layers of cake and frosting. It was just a perfect rendition of a chocolate cake. Last but not least was the coconut cake which rivals my favorite coconut cake in the world from Max A Mia. The Abigail's version was a bit lighter, but equally as delicious with coconut frosting that really hit the spot and is worth the trip back. The bill came to $317 and with a $60 tip for outstanding service and a wonderful Mother's Day meal

I would go back for the food if in the area.

Think a new menu, lower prices, a super simplified Happy Hour (Every menu item & drink is $3 OFF), Weekly Specials, a lunch menu, and special events Trivia Tuesdays, Game Night Thursdays, and Wine & Whiskey Wednesdays. Our server Josh was great, super friendly and helpful. With the Happy Hour discount, we bought 2 Mich Lights for $3 a pop, a BLT with chips for $13. And a chicken quesadilla for $13.
