Came for a work lunch - everything was good. Food was delicious but a bit pricey. Service was decent but a bit inattentive/disappeared for long stretches of time although it wasn't very busy.

I’ve always liked the Miller Tavern but the last two times I’ve been in it was for Pre-Leafs dinner on cold nights and sitting anywhere in the main room was very cold. Something needs to be done at the front door(s) to remedy the cold air coming into the restaurant.

The Food was great and the place is nice and it's a good atmosphere. When I made the reservation I specifically noted it's my anniversary please acknowledge it. Unfortunately nobody mentioned it and I also clicked the anniversary option when making the reservation. That was the only issue I had. We got it quickly and were served our dinner in about 20 min. I'd go back again I just wouldn't celebrate an event at this place.

We reserved this spot for a birthday, we’re not from the city. The host was ok but didn’t acknowledge the occasion and tried to seat us at a tiny two person table despite the restaurant being virtually empty. We ended up seated somewhere better as we had asked a couple times kindly, but the person didn’t really talk to us and it gave us not a great vibe. Our server was nice and pleasant. The food was so so, one dish was definitely tastier than the other. Unfortunately mine was pretty bland. The ambiance was ok but it was just not what we expected judging from other reviews. Something we found odd was that the menu was different from their website. The menu we found the day before was also totally different from when we checked the day of. I feel that should be accurate and it was disappointing as the dishes we planned to get were not on the menu in the restaurant at all. Overall, it might not be a place we return to because it was not the experience we expected.

Menu was different from online menu. There were no oysters though posted online. Ordered mussels only to be told they had sold the last order. Really? At 6:00 pm? We were originally seated at the very back of one room near a closed but drafty door and under a ventilation fan blowing air at us. As requested, we were relocated to one of several empty booths. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. Not at all like our experiences at the Miller Tavern in north Toronto.
