Our family had a special dinner on a Saturday, enjoying something from every part of the menu (signature cocktails and mocktails; appetizers, entrees and desserts). Flavor galore. Our server, Lincoln, was attentive, made great suggestions and helped make it a perfect evening. The night was made extra special when a young couple a few tables away got engaged to the applause of all. In the car ride back to our house, the five of us each sang the praises of Millwrights. Top Shelf evening.

The 5-course bourbon event was outstanding! Delicious food and fantastic service. As expected, we were seated with others sharing the experience. James is an amazing host. This is on our regular restaurant rotation - highly recommended for both the special events like this one and for everyday meals.

We love going there. It seems every time we go they have new staff though not cooks or servers but the table servers. They could be a little more assertive.
