Customer Reviews
I personally was not impressed with the food the service was so so. We got the three course mean the flounder was good the salad was dry and the boxed cake was the best part of the meal the drinks were good. The atmosphere was a very mature crowd so don't over dress lol
Wow. What a fantastic place to enjoy a meal with friends. The food is amazing. The chef really knows what he’s doing. The menu is very well planned. The starter was a wonderful butter nut squash bisque. The entrees were NY Strip with a delicious flavor. And a fried potato perfection. Also a flounder filet with carrots and savory sauce with greens. The scallops are super. Nice size and tender. The Pinot Noir is smooth and delicious with a choice of deserts. Cheesecake and fresh berries to finish. The server was sweet and very attentive. She filled our water glasses often. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with a really nice bar. I’m looking forward to enjoying this place again soon.
Fantastic food! Very well made and made fresh. The wait staff were incredibly helpful. I chose the 3 course menu with the salmon. The dessert, a peach Melba cake, was so light and delicious.
Mildred’s is our go to date night place. Great food, good service and variety of choices. Some of the best cakes in town. If you order ahead, you can get a whole cake for a special occasion
Mildred’s is my favorite restaurant in town. The ambiance is always spot on with soft music and softer lighting. The staff, particularly Claudine and Chris, are so warm and accommodating. All members of staff, but especially these two, have made me feel so welcome and actively engage with me every time. The food speaks for itself so I will add photos but if I am to speak on it, I can say that every dish is so well thought out and cooked to perfection. Chris makes a phenomenal Aviation, which is my favorite cocktail and I can be quite particular about them. The martinis are also choice.
