Mills Tavern

I hate to leave a review like this as Mills Tavern has been our favorite restaurant and clearly is among the very best in the city. My wife and I have been loyal customers for several years. This evening my wife brought me to Mills for my birthday dinner but unfortunately our experience was extremely disappointing. I ordered my all time favorite item on the menu - the 12 ounce Australian Wagyu strip. I ordered my steak medium rare; as shown in the picture below it was served to me basically raw. I know nothing is perfect and restaurants can have an off night, but what was really discouraging was the fact that the server and the manager seemed to place the blame on me, as the customer, for my displeasure over the quality and condition of what I was served and for not having spoken up sooner. I would hope and reasonably expect for a restaurant of this caliber and reputation that the management would have show concern over what was produced in their kitchen and regret over how it came out. Initially the server asked if everything was ok at the beginning of the meal but was not seen again for quite a while, despite the fact that I was sitting at the table not eating for at least 20 minutes. In fairness the manager did reduce the cost of my steak by 50% which was fair and reasonable, but I would have hoped that the manager and server would have shown more concern over the quality and condition of what I was served and the fact that my birthday dinner was basically ruined. No apology was offered and no regret shown…not a good experience to have for a birthday celebration. Again I am sincerely very sorry to leave a review like this but in fairness it should be something that the ownership and leadership of one of Providence’s best restaurants are aware of.

Halibut special was absolutely fabulous paired with a Pino Noir! Creme Brule for dessert was perfect!

My wife and my mother Laura. And I went there for Christmas Eve dinner. The experience was wonderful. I never thought that I can go to a restaurant on Christmas. Eve with family and be so pleased, very wonderful experience. Thank you for all the service and team that you have at location. Excellent service, excellent shop. Excellent everything again, thank you. Marcus expresso

We had to wait a bit, but our booth was spacious and comfortable. The food was awesome! I had creamy leek soup, the salmon with risotto, and bread pudding for dessert. Everything was excellent. Also, the cocktail "Traum " was really tasty. I was visiting a long-time friend and I had a wonderful time!

Had a great evening there the filet was great, nice vibes/atmosphere. The oysters were great too

Great spot to go for a date :). Food & service are great. I highly recommend
