    Artisan is our new go to restaurant The food is fresh and prepared with creativity and gusto. The wine list is superb. We love the tuna appetizer and the scallops main course. For November Artisan had a BYOB no charge event so I brought one of my own. Definitely be back for New Year’s Eve!

    What a great restaurant! We were last there for our daughter's wedding reception in 2008 and were visiting the area for Thanksgiving. The restaurant was very busy but the service was great. The menu is extensive...I had the prime rib special...excellent, and my wife had a Veal scallopini. There is something on the menu for everyone. Ambiance is lovely...old New England at its best. Makes us wish we lived back in New England. Cheers from South Carolina!

    My sons and their partners and I decided to have Thanksgiving dinner at Millwright and it was overall a very good experience. We had a 5:30 reservation though we were not seated til 6 (which was a bit ironic since they had called me the day before to indicate that we had to be there on time and they would only hold the table for 10 minutes), however, they made up for it by offering a half off bottle of wine, which was quite generous. The prix fixe dinner was excellent, being Thanksgiving, most of us opted for the turkey, which was great, especially the confit. I loved the smoked salmon mousse, it was a nice creative touch. All else got the more conventional first courses, as is their wont, and they enjoyed them. The sides were delicious, the service impeccable and the atmosphere lovely. Rather expensive for a turkey dinner, but it is a vibe. So I would do it again, I am a semi-regular visitor to the Tavern, my favorite part of the restaurant.
