    Food was delicious and while pricey, completely worth it. Ash, our server, was phenomenally attentive without being disruptive. We were allowed to take our time, order in waves, and enjoy the view of the waterfall. Cocktails were divine and well-made, and the entrees were generous without being ridiculous. The restaurant catered to our dietary needs without batting an eye, and not one bite was left to carry away.

    The food was good I wish they had an option for garlic butter for the steak sauce… and the mashpotatoes were not worth $18. Small portion no flavor. Steak was beautifully cooked and able to cut the filet with a fork. French onion was very good!

    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.
