We had a family lunch here and our waitress, Debra, was fabulous! We all enjoyed our experience very much! The food was delicious!

I didn't appreciate little flies around the food. Also the food value was too high for the quality.

Enjoyed Father's Day Brunch! The staff was welcoming and attentive. The food was plentiful. The clams on the half shell and other seafood were outstanding. My Husband said the cinnamon bread French toast was the best he has ever had!

I love this place. Always great for a family celebration. We enjoy the history, the shopping village, the peacocks, and the overall ambiance. It's always more than just a meal out. We also enjoy the food and the choices. The dinner portions are large but the appetizers are embarrassingly small. $24 for fried calamari that was in a small bowl. Ok won't order that again. Empty restaurant but they initially jammed a party of 8 with a member of my party in a wheelchair into a tight corner. Why? I spoke up and got us moved a table over where there was much more space. Then we sat and sat and sat and waited for service. Again near empty restaurant. I finally needed to get up and go look for someone. Servers did not come around often enough. Plates stacked up on the table and drinks went unfilled. We still had a great time and enjoyed each other and the food. The servers were very nice, but again just very laxed and disengaged. For that level of dining and prices, they just need to step it up a bit.

At this price point, you expect a lot more. This has become (essentially) a catering facility with a restaurant attached. Very pretty and massive in size, but overall a disappointment. Greeted at front door by three teenagers speaking amongst themselves in Spanish. “You guys can follow her” (2 of us weren't guys). At this price point you expect a far more professional start than teenagers in black tights who look bored when you approach. No greeting other than “Reservation?” Worse than an Applebees. The best part of the meal is at the start: hot popovers and out-of-this-world cinnamon bread. The menu is somewhat limited and EXPENSIVE for a place that gives off a consistent mid-price vibe—loud pop music competing with music from a private event, servers speaking to each other from across the room, kids wandering around from a private event, grim looking managers walking the floor. The ambiance is just bad for a restaurant as pretty as this one. Going out is not simply about the food. Food was mixed. A very good chicken pot pie, a decent steak sandwich with home fries, a below average filet mignon (and end piece) hard as rock potatoes au gratin. An average $36 chicken dish. Service was fine. Water was kept filled. Food came at the right time. The usual “who got the steak sandwich?” When the food arrived, but that seems to happen nearly everywhere. But with the average entree at $35, sides being extra (although all meals come with sides) and salads between $12-26, you expect a lot more. Again, this is primarily a catering facility at this point.

Waited 45 minutes beyond the reservation time, even though we got there 10 minutes early.

Great atmosphere good food, but more staff needs to be hired. The service was extremely slow. This happened during Christmas time and today as well.

the experience was just wonderful! The value for the price was excellent. I was there during a prix fix meal. the salad was great! The main entree was skirt steak which was very delicious, tender and cooked just as I had asked. The seven layer cake was excellent! Of course, the popovers were fantastic! There service was outstanding. We were there more than 2 hours and never rushed out. It was a terrific experience!!

So let me get this straight…. A couple of years back the cinnamon bread decreased in size by about 50% but the price stayed the same at $4 which was bad enough.
Now, they just raised the price to $7 per loaf!! And even smaller…. Per the staff: “after all the renovations, they changed all the prices”…. So a never ending tax to customers to pay for your renovations…. Keep your bread and keep the inflated prices all over your village. After 10 years, I am using my local bakery for all my business. Truly disgusting.
The restaurant closed for a while for a refresher, it pretty much looks the same. The Halloween decorations and village are excellent. A great place to bring your kids and family and eat at the snack bar. The restaurant changed it menu, nothing fancy but left out its German style foods and pot roast. It's more like a diner than a restaurant. We were disappointed thankfully they still have the cinnamon bread and popovers. Again a great place for the major holidays but uninspired are a restaurant.

Menu and quality of food needs improvement. Salmon was dry, risotto was gloopy, asparagus were tasteless, mashed potatoes tasted like they were from a box, sauce too sweet on short ribs. Not worth the high price.

we have visited this restaurant many times through all their changes in food and service. I could not believe how empty the place was for a Sunday Brunch. Food was just okay. Service better. I have to talk about omelet stations. the person who was making the omelets did not know how to flip the eggs. He actually used his hand to turn over the omelet. He wore a glove but who every heard of this. the glove also would retain flavor from one frying pan to the other. I had to walk away. Later on the way out I saw him leaning his gloved hand on the wall. I can't to back there again.
Made 12:30 res online arrived 12:15 to no visible staff ?(bakery only shop open)10 minutes or so later waitress says have a seat, & another 10-15 before we get menús & drink,another 15-20 to order, & maybe 15-20 to food arrives?! Meal was very good & appreciate Birthday Club! But I would call to reserve in future & ask when they would have u arrive & not go by 12 as opening time! By time we left there were only 3 other parties there hope this isn't bad news!

Let's start with the food. We love the Milleridge and have been here several times over the years for both dinners and events and weddings. The place still has that old quaint charm and the location and parking is very convenient. This visit was disappointing however as we had a 55 minute wait between the time we ordered and when we actually received the first food on the table (we did not get appetizers). The server came once or twice to apologize for the delay claiming there were a lot of parties and the kitchen was backed up. I'll say we didn't see any actual parties in the 2 party rooms, and in the possibility that the restaurant was making food for the catering hall, there is only 1 party at a time at the hall, so.... Probably More likely that they were understaffed in the kitchen like many restaurants are these days. None of the food was bad, but nothing was excellent... Everything was kind of mid. The prices were fair IMO and this experience wouldn't make me NEVER come back, but the Milleridge is certainly a lower priority on my list of dining options now.
