Bites Nearby: The Mill at 2T

This hidden gem is worth the wait in nearby Tariffville.

The Mill at 2T has been kept a secret by those who don’t want to share the cozy, seven-table restaurant in the heart of Tariffville.

But word is getting out about the freshly prepared gourmet dishes, ever-changing menu and fabulous staff.

The Mill at 2T has an eclectic yet not pretentious menu. Meals from wild boar to top-notch steak are available. Desserts like the beloved brioche donuts with caramel sauce have many fans. The menu changes daily.

Seasoned restauranteurs Kelleanne and Ryan Jones recently moved back to New England to open The Mill at 2T. They aim to make guests feel like they are eating a meal in their home.

The beautifully restored textile mill in Tariffville, right by the Farmington River, is a showcase of warm red brick and heavy woodwork. It’s much like dining in a small bed and breakfast, where the kitchen is open but quiet and unobtrusive.

At the bar you can watch executive chef Chef Ryan Jones and his staff prepare the dishes he creates based on the availability of fresh, local foods.

About six entrees are presented each night, with prices ranging from $20 to $50. Reservations are required. Make them early and don’t be surprised by a short wait for a table.

The Mill at 2T is located at 2 Tunxis Road, Tariffville, CT. Reserve a table by calling 860-658-7890. Dinner is served Wednesday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.

The problem is resurfacing all the roads in Suffield would cost a great deal of money. Suffield is aRead More big town. I do understand that some roads in Suffield do not have enough adjacent suitable land to create a separate bike lane, but I believe bike lanes could be constructed along sections of some scenic roads. Half a loaf is better than none at all. Salvatore, if you have not already been there, you may want to consider cycling on the island of Nantucket. I have not been there in years, but outside of its main town, Nantucket did offer good riding conditions and peaceful surroundings--at least when I visited.

Thank you for your comment. Actually, I was simply suggesting that roads are resurfaced. There isn'tRead More probably enough room for bike lanes on most of these backroads, but if at least the pavement was brought to an acceptable condition, that would make biking much more pleasant (I should say "possible") and, let's not forget, much safer. Some particularly damaged areas represent a serious danger to bikers' safety.

There may be a solution--a compromise of sorts. Put a narrow, but well-maintained bike lane on largeRead More sections of each scenic road in town, the roads with fewer cars and trucks. Just having the bike lanes may be draw for out-of-town cyclists to visit Suffield and spend money at local businesses. Instead of attempting to change Suffield into a metropolitan area, with all the problems that brings, celebrate (and financially support) its original identity--a scenic, peaceful agricultural town with some nice amenities.
