Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Middletown

The Flying Monkey is a great place and fun! Food is delicious, a very cozy ambiance—one side of the restaurant host great bands and musicians on certain days and the staff’s very attentive! This is a must visit for any food lover!

The food and service were outstanding! You can get lost in all of the wonderful offerings in their store. Such a great idea to eat in such a lovely ambiance. Our food was beautifully plated and delicious. We opted to eat half our servings in order to try some of their desserts! We were not disappointed! And we got our leftovers packed away to eat later. This was a beautiful experience from start to finish... We will be back soon!

This was a great night at the Mill for Vday. My wife and I had reservations for 8:00pm. Although we weren't seated right away the wait wasn't no more than 10 minutes as they were very busy with sold out reservations throughout the evening/night. While we waiting they came around with complimentary champagne for everyone, it was great. Food and menu were top tier and we enjoyed ourselves. I have known this restaurant for years since I was a child, so I have never been disappointed.

From the moment we entered the restaurant until the moment we left, we were treated with the most care and consideration. A fresh long stem rose for me. Seated by the fireplace it seemed like a very special evening was in store.. The menu was well planned and balanced just the right amount of food and the presentation was impeccable. Servers were professional and friendly, and our rep part with all of them was just right. The fillet was amazing and cooked to perfection and the shrimp and clams casino were also very good Dessert was an amazing heart-shaped, layered chocolate vanilla concoction ….out of this world. Definitely will come back and try other evenings, including the live music, which was just a nice addition to the evening.

Great food with wonderful service! Our waiter - Leighton - was very attentive, but not over-present. He timed inquiries perfectly between courses and conversation!
