    Our overall experience at Millwright’s was fabulous! Delicious food, spectacular ambiance, and impeccable service. Tucked away in a cozy booth we were able to enjoy a lovely New England wintery scene with the beautiful brook below. The Christmas prix fixe was delight after delight and the cherry on top of our evening was the attention and care brought by our server Ron. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and brought great banter to the table. I know he really made the evening for our whole party.

    I used to go to Max's Oyster Bar often in the late 90's when I lived and worked in the area. I have since moved to Boston and then Maine but was able to go to Max's for lunch while visiting family over Christmas 2024. My husband and I were blown away by the menu, the food, the service, the ambiance, and the prices. We got the seafood tower plus some extra oysters and it was fantastic and a much better value than those we have ordered in Maine! Everything else on the menu looked creative and delicious and the prices were very reasonable. Matt, our server, was excellent; very knowledgable and very friendly. What a fantastic lunch. We will be back ASAP.
