    We sat at the oyster bar and received great service. Alex and James were very attentive. We ordered a burger and it was delicious.

    I went to Main and Mill on Wednesday, June 11th, 2025 for a birthday dinner and it was a great experience! The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and the server was polite and attentive. I had the fried oyster Poboy and Mashed Sweet Potatoes! I even had a piece of Key Lime cheesecake for dessert. I will definitely return to this restaurant and I recommend it to anyone who lives in the area or is visiting the area!

    We had a reservation so we were taking right away, which was great. I reserved a hightop table on purpose so that’s what I wanted and that’s what they gave me so very pleased with that. The food was very good little pricey, but given that there are not that many great restaurants around this area. We will gladly pay it because the food was very very, very good. Overall a very good experience.

    Sad to leave a 1 star after my meal…. We had a great meal, great drinks, and an amazing server. Unfortunately while we were eating we witness an extremely disgusting event with the owner. He acted rude, aggressive, and honestly ruined the vibe of the entire restaurant. I feel sorry these wonderful employees have to be associated with such horrible ownership. While the meal, waitress, and drinks were amazing- I simply cannot return based on the exchange I saw between other patrons and the owner.

    Delicious! The cocoa picante was smooth and had a nice little kick of spice. The crab dip was the best I’ve had in years. The ribeye was cooked to perfection, asparagus was fresh and the baked Mac and cheese was so good. My friend had the chicken milanese and said it was very good. She also got the sun-kissed mule and really liked it. We had wonderful service, staff was very nice and had great recommendations. Our waitress was attentive and very helpful. We will definitely be back.

    The service at this restaurant was impeccable. The staff never rushed us, yet they were always attentive and ready when needed. The food was absolutely delicious! We are eagerly looking forward to many more visits to sample more of their menu.
