I would tell you how the food was but I’m still currently waiting on the waters we asked for 30 mins ago… other tables have been served. Maybe I’ll update on the food once I get some service.Edit: Waitress apologized for the inconvenience and the food came out great. I would come in again. I recommend the Dates with chorizo and bacon

We drove from 50 minutes away to eat here today. We arrived at 1:35 and the closed sign was already up and all the chairs on top of tables. Even though their hours advertise open until 2:00, they’re in a hurry to get out and will not seat you after 1:30 apparently. Wasted time will not be back. A lot of reviews say the service there is horrible and takes too long anyway.

Great place to visit for breakfast at Elizabeth City. The staff is super friendly and their food is super good! Each plate was around 15 bucks and well worth it. They have mimosas and drinks if you’d like and the coffee was very good.

After 6 months of visiting the city and checking out different restaurants I finally found an amazing restaurant. The salad was delicious. The tomatoes had a nice sweet flavor that paired perfectly with the balsamic vinaigrette. The bourbon salmon melted in my mouth. The location is small but the cooks and waitresses were efficient in providing quick service and accommodating our party. This is definitely a perfect spot for a family meal.

So the family came to see our youngest daughter In Elizabeth City. If you have never been to Elizabeth City I can tell you that there is not a lot there but there is this spot called the Mills Downtown Bistro. We visited this eclectic, intimate little spot on a Friday night. We got there just in time to get a table. This place is small, it seats maybe 60 people. It has that homey, country feeling with old style tin ceiling tiles. I felt like we were in a small tavern restaurant in the French countryside.By the look of this little store front restaurant you would think the menu would be the usual bar food. How surprised I was to see a fine dining menu.I order the sweet potato risotto with white wine and rabbit sausage. Let me tell you. This was farm to table fresh. The risotto was a little stiff for me but the sausage made up for it. Savory with a hint of spice on the finish made this sausage melt in your mouth good. My daughter ordered the apple crepe (If you like crepes they have savory and sweet) it was excellent other than the apples weren't peeled so the texture was a little off putting. But I still give them five stars for serving fine french style dining in downtown Elizabeth City!

We always stop at The Mills when in town—the food never disappoints. Our most recent visit was a large party (10+)—the food was delicious and came out quickly for a bigger group. I wish they still had the Seafood Crepe on the menu but I tried the Chicken & Asparagus Crepe and liked it just as much! We came back the next morning for their infamous brunch. With so many good options on the menu, it is hard to choose! I tend to always go with the Southern Eggs Benedict, but every brunch plate I saw come out of the kitchen looked delicious. Thanks for always providing a great experience!

The service was terrible. The waitress was more interested behind the bar than serving us. The dinner took 1.75 hours and I had to get her 3 times.
