Simsbury is a small town in Hartford County known for being one of the best places in Connecticut to live, according to Connecticut Magazine. That may be true, considering it’s home to Millwright’s, a charming eatery that sits inside an old sawmill. It also happens to be next to a stunning waterfall, so the views are as amazing as the food.

The Mill at Hop Brook dates all the way back to the 17th century, when The Village of Simsbury had it constructed.

But as amazing as the interior is, you won't be able to stop staring at the views outside.
