    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.

    Perfect for a date night! The pear martini was amazing! The ricotta with fig toast appetizer and the gnocchi were delicious. The main course took a little bit of time to come out, but we didn’t mind at all. We topped off the night with cappuccinos and the chocolate torte with homemade salted caramel sauce. Chef’s kiss!! We will definitely be back!
