Simsbury Inn, Simsbury

I had my wedding reception at the Simsbury Inn, and it was the best wedding day I could've ever had! All my guests raved about the food, how nice the ammenities are and how beautiful the Inn is (and we had many out of state guests). Our bridal suite was amazing, they had chocolate covered strawberries, champagne, and food waiting for us in our room. They gave us unbelievable service, catering to anything we wanted as the bride and groom. Patti was such a sweetheart and took care of everything for us, making sure that the ballroom was set up perfectly, that our signature cocktail was made perfectly, the timing of everything went smoothly, and that the bar at the Twigs lounge stayed open late after the reception so our guests could have more food and drinks if they wanted. She also was very accomodating during the planning and made sure that I could do whatever I wanted to make my special day unique. Plus, it was so nice being the only bride there that day. We didn't have to rush anything or worry about another wedding there that day. Some of my guests used the Spoil Me Spa and had in-room spa treatments that they loved and the beds were so comfortable! I loved our canopy bed! They are in the process of updating all the rooms, and we had exceptional accomodations. There was a wedding taking place across the street at the Riverview on the same day, and all the guests stayed over at the Simsbury Inn afterwards, but my guests were catered to first. All the guests from the Riverview had to stand around the bar at the Twigs lounge because all my guests were there first and served first. Plus my guests were provided with transporation to and from the airport first. The breakfast we had the next morning after the wedding reception was amazing! Everything was perfect and I couldn't have asked for anything more!! We are looking foward to spending our anniversary there! I highly recommend the Simsbury Inn for your wedding or just to stay over.

I am a local neighbor of the Simsbury Inn, however, due to past experiences at the restaurant, my friends and I stopped going. The food was a disgrace and it was waaaayyyy over priced for what you were served. The new buzz in town is that there is some new hot shot head chef in town. A lot of my friends and even family have eaten at the restaurant in the past month and all have had rav reviews. I reluctantly returned about 2 weeks ago.......I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised!!! The food served was done so with such care and precise techniques. I had had the lobster and a fresh homemade new england clam chowder. We were served fresh mozzerella, tomatoes and a pomergrant sauce with it. All I have to say is OMG. When I questioned the floor manager, he informed me that new young chef makes his own mozzerella there at the INN and he buys all of his produce from the local farm markets. Bravo and hats off to that young man. I am a strong supporter of local business and local grown produce!!!! The flavors were fresh, bright and vibrant!!! I have to admit I was blown away by the entire experience....it is food that you would be served in NYC. I strongly suggest that anyone in the area checks out this new young chef's food!!! We will be back and this time I will bring more friends!!!! As for the Inn itself I have heard mixed reviews about the rude staff....from the front desk to the general manager. I have been told the rooms fall very short of luxurious! Sounds like the star of this place is the food....go check it out!
