   Milleridge Inn has a storied reputation. It has been in existence for many, many years and has been a popular spot also for many, many years. High marks to the Milleridge Holiday Village. It is a fun, vibrant area to spend some time with fun shops with myriad products. The restaurant itself is classy, stylish and the ambience is warm and inviting. That said, the food is not good. Small menu but selection is decent despite that. The quality of the food is not at all acceptable. And plated poorly as items seemed to be just placed on the plate in any possible space available. For starters, I ordered the "Crispy Fried Calamari". It was not crispy. Rather, it was very chewy and rubbery and somewhat flavorless. The marinara sauce was light red and watery. Not recommended. The entree of Lamb Shank was a bit better, but (as lamb can be), quite fatty. The roasted potatoes were undercooked and hard. My guest had the short ribs which seemed to be "good but not great". The roasted potatoes on that dish were also undercooked and hard. Service was adequate but quite long between courses (which on this night was okay). We were there for almost 2.5 hours total. Our server was nice but started to lose his voice mid-way through our meal. Not sure why that was? Little concerning. Three stars because of the Village Shops, but 2 for food quality.

   Short version: In summary, I DO NOT recommend going here! * wait times outrageous * food is NOT edible * staff is rude * Carolers? What carolers? Long version: Arrived for reservation on time. Waited 30 minutes for our table. Waited 20 minutes at the bar for a drink. While ordering a drink, manager Joe came behind bar and interrupted my order asking the bartender to tend to something else. Extremely rude. Our table was not set. Appetizers arrived, but then waited 5-10 minutes for utensils. We could not order pot pie because we were told there were several returned so they stopped serving. We were seated by the door. As time went by and crowds thinned it became very cold. The staff refused to close the doors, so we wore our jackets at the table. The hostess stand had a portable heater so the staff was warm! Waited over an hour for food. It arrived cold so we sent back. The food was microwaved so spotty hot upon return. The food was still not edible due to the salt content. The manager Joseph was not helpful. The hostess Jocelyn was rude with an attitude. Gave waiter cash and walked out.

   They did not give me what I ordered. Yes they replaced it, however they still charged me for it. That is after you watered down cocktail. Four people and a $300 bill for lunch.

   I absolutely look forward to going to the Milleridge Inn during the Christmas season. This year I was dissapointed because it took a while for them to seat us and we missed the carols. I would suggest that you should have more people doing the caroling so everyone can experience it. Other than that it was amazing experience

   Had a 7:30 reservation, waited about 30 minutes for a table. Server was very nice. Bussing staff not so much. Overall, food was just ok. Carolers were a nice touch and were very nice, decorations were nice as well.

   It’s our first time there since they remodeled and revamped the menu. Went with friends. The seasonal bar drinks were good. The menu is largely Americano with a twist, and the prices seem very fair. I had the crabcakes, which were terrific. I also had the French onion soup, which, despite being called classic, had some kind of smoky spice like chipotle in it. I don’t understand why, it did not add anything to my enjoyment of the soup. Complementary cinnamon bread and popovers goes a long way with this crowd. And the only other complaint is that they will not switch out any sides for a different side. You don’t like creamed spinach? Then just tell them to leave it off. It’s possible that this rule exists because the place is so large and they serve so many people at the same time, that it would be difficult to make changes. I would definitely go back for lunch and I would try their brunch.

   First seating 12 noon Only 2 items on prize fix dinner and response was oh we are out of turkey. What!!! We are the first seating. Reluctantly in ordered the pot roast. Lukewarm potatoes and not so great meat. Do disappointed. Popovers were undercooked and soggy. Only thing good was the apple streusel dessert. So disappointed for a holiday celebration with friends. We all agreed food was so so. Going to look for a different place next year

    Milleridge Inn is just so lovely at Christmas. The decorations are beautiful and they have carolers in the dining rooms. This was not our first time here, this year the food was better than last, I had the skirt steak, it was perfectly cooked and delicious. My friends had the meatloaf, short ribs and salmon and they also said theirs were delicious. If I had to complain about anything, the popovers arrived when we finished out meal, but we took them home. Of course, the cinnamon bread they put on the table at the start is just amazing!!
