Present Company in Tariffville, CT

10/30/2017

The stars recently aligned for a perfect girls' night.  I had been hearing great things and really wanted to try Present Company.  My husband was traveling for work and my friend and fellow lady of real estate, Lisa, also found herself home alone with her significant other out of town on business.  She suggested that rather than sitting home and wallowing in the tears and sadness of our temporary separations, we do our best to enjoy at least one night out on our own.  So we pulled off our sweatpants, pasted on our smiles and gave it a shot.  Off to Present Company to try the fall tasting menu!

We had a five course tasting paired with 5 delicious wines.  The theme for the fall 2017 menu is "A Homage to French Classics" and we tried a cream of artichoke soup, scallop au gratin, hen au vin, steak hambourgeoise, and for dessert we had the floating island which is a poached meringue dish.  I also don't want to forget to mention the amuse bouche which was a curried shirmp salad that was to die for.  Each and every course was amazing, service was outstanding and our entire experience was everything you could want when fine dining.  

Present Company has a small and cozy dining room divided from the "bar" area where the "bar" is actually a chef's table with front row seating for their open kitchen.  We sat at a high top in this area and were able to enjoy the dinner and a show vibe with a great view of everything happening in the kitchen.  

We visited on a Monday evening for a special event* with a 7pm reservation and the restaurant was full the entire time we were there.  .  Even though it seemed busy, service was stellar and we enjoyed visits to our table from both, Tom Gale and Chef Jeffrey Lizotte.   

If you enjoy fine dining, I highly recommend putting Present Company on the top of your list to visit on your next night out.  Take an Uber and add the wine pairing to all your courses!

Have too much wine at dinner and make Chef Jeff take selfies with you, it's cool.


​PS- We weren't actually wearing sweatpants.
