The Milleridge Inn provides beautiful ambience, particularly festive for the holiday season. We adored going through the holiday village before having dinner - so many cute shops and spots for great photos. The restaurant itself was beautiful with charming decor - we especially loved the singers dressed in colonial garb who sang Christmas carols by our table. Our server was cheerful and brought a replacement cup of coffee b/c the first cup came to the table cold. He also checked on our food when we'd been sitting a while and waiting longer than normal for our dishes. Alas I wish we could rave about the food but it was pretty sub-par. I had a flounder dish that was pretty awful - by the time it came to the table it was dark and crusty and not even very warm like it had been sitting for a while. Even the 'clean' part of the plate's edges (that had no food on it) were kind of greasy which was suspicious. One member of our party compared it to 'cafeteria food'. For $28 - 45 per entree, we expected better.
This is a mixed review. Milleridge is a beautiful place to go during the holidays - great decorations, fun village to get photos, and it's family friendly. But if you go after 5, be prepared for crowds. We went midafternoon and that was a good choice. Our server was new and not very good - dinner plates weren't cleared when he brought dessert, we could never find him, and we had to ask for bread. You don't come here for the food, although it's fine. The lemon chicken was good and the mashed potatoes were excellent. Our dessert portion of ice cream was minuscule. Good for Christmas spirit but definitely not quiet gourmet dining.
I've been going to the Milleridge since I was a little girl. I will always want to go during Christmas time to walk around the little village, hear the Christmas Carolers and be among all the many decorations. Last night was a little disappointing. At reception we were told to wait on line, but some people were just standing around and we were standing behind them till we realized they were not on line!?!?! Two people at check-in, but no one really aware or managing. Maybe it was a challenging night? Some workers out sick? It was pretty packed yet we were told there was only one bartender! It took a little too long to get our drinks. In the past we've been serenaded by a quartet of Carolers singing at least 3 carols, but last night we got only one song from only 3 carolers? Maybe the Tenor was out sick? One bartender, one Christmas carol! Hopefully just an off night. The wait staff was very pleasant, the cinnamon bread as yummy as always - no complaints there! The food was okay - I don't go there for the food. I had the meatloaf which came with a very yummy corn strip! Very unique. I will try the Turkey next time. Our friends had burgers which were very good. Fries and mashed potatoes good. Butternut squash soup was nice. Light - not too creamy. They were too busy to accommodate any substitutions, which was a little annoying, but they were busy and obviously a little short staffed. It was helpful that the wait staff were all very relaxed and kind, with genuine smiles. The Little Village is adorable and you feel like you are in a Hallmark Movie! Some shops were gone or closed so even that seemed a bit lean and sparse. There's always next year!
To begin our night, no one came over for 10 minutes. There were 2 dirty napkins under my chair and went I brought it to the staff attention I was ignored and had to flag down another employee. Finally someone came over and took our drink order, which took 15 to arrive. Which was 1 beer and a seltzer. We ordered Calamari and it was missing one of the sauces that was listed on the menu. It took someone another 10 minutes to come back to the table to ask for the sauce. Which they replied some times we run out of stuff and “they” don't tell us. When our entrees arrived, my steak was overdone and dry (asked for medium rare). We waited 15 minutes after finishing dinner for acknowledgement/clearing the table.We then waited 10 minutes for the waitress to pick up the check after we put our card down. Mind you there was about 30 minutes we were the only table in our section.
Happy we experienced the restaurant at Christmas. Food and service were okay. Everyone liked the cinnamon bread and enjoyed the ambiance and Christmas carolers.
The Milleridge Inn is decorated absolutely gorgeous! Very festive. The Carolers inside the restaurant is a wonderful touch! Unfortunately the food is not that appealing or tasty. I would come back to stroll the Village but not to eat in the restaurant again.
Stake bread. Cold mashed potatoes. Warm meatloaf cleaning people hovering removing utensils and plates from your table without asking!!! Noisy!!! They can't handle the holidays. Go another time.
Food was very enjoyable and the atmosphere with the carolers was fantastic. Unfortunately we felt rushed early in the meal and had to ask the waitress to bring us bread and popovers multiple times after our main meal came. I would definitely go again, especially during the holidays but hopefully the service will improve.
We love going here. Our waitress was incredible and we werea able to move our table- we needed a table with more room around us, and a bit quieter. I will ask for this when we reserve next year.
We go every year, because of the beautifully decorated atmosphere, the delicious popovers, and the Christmas carolers. Very, very disappointed in the food the prices doubled. They overbook, they make you wait, and it's very loud. It doesn't seem worth it to go anymore. There are so many other places with beautiful holiday decor.

No waitress was assigned to our table. They were out of half the appetizers. Incorrect orders were sent to the table. This was my first and last time going.
It was a very busy place and waiting to get in even though we had a reservation. It was a very busy place and waiting to get in even though we had a reservation. It took a while for the waitress to come and take our order and she was doing the best she could with a lot of tables to take care of. The photo was very good. We didn't get a chance to walk through the village, which was all lit up with beautiful lights.
2 meals of 4 ordered were cold, very poorly cooked, took forever for management to respond. Though a substitute was offered, dinner was over for other people in the party. A credit was offered and accepted. Other meals, portions were small, not worth the money. The restaurant was very nicely decorated, strolling singers, I am not going back.
Very festive atmosphere ! Food was good servicer was very attentive! Chorale group was a nice touch! It was a good choice for a Christmas dinner with friends!
We had an enjoyable evening at Milleridge inn this year! Our meals were enjoyed by all and the drinks were wonderful. Our only complaint was that the popovers we were served were cold and deflated. It was a letdown since that is what sets the Milleridge Inn apart from other establishments. Our waitress was on point and checked on us without being intrusive. The ambience at this time of the year is warm and inviting. Of course I would return next year but I must say I'll being looking forward to a warm popover.
