    Oysters and oyster caviar
    Jaimi L.

    We had a great meal last night during the Firewater festival! It was my partner's birthday and I merely mentioned it in the reservation. They had a birthday card on the table for us when we sat. Our oysters and caviar were delicious. Steaks and asparagus were delicious too. Bread pudding with a candle was delightful. The staff was attentive and the vibe was super. The small details by the staff set this place apart. What a lovely dining experience. Cheers to our server Katie!

    We stopped in for a cocktail an appetizers. We had the French onion soup that was very beefy tasting as well as Wagyu tartare and oysters with caviar. The cocktail was the highlight of my meal and made perfectly! I loved the chili oil and olive oil additions. Our bartender was very nice and engaging. I loved the little neighborhood this restaurant was in, they had ample parking, and very nice decorations inside. We sat at the cozy bar and enjoyed the date night environment.

    We invited our friends out for an impromptu double date to take advantage of the Restaurant Week specials at Mills Tavern--dressed up and all. I had high expectations based on recommendations from friends, and I'm happy to say the evening lived up to the hype. We had an 8:00 p.m. reservation, but our table was ready well ahead of time. The restaurant wasn't too busy or crowded, which made for a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. Our server, Sarah, was kind and attentive, taking the time to describe each dish as it arrived. We were pleasantly surprised with freshly baked bread served alongside a trio of butters--Black Sea salt, rosemary, and red pepper. We were also treated to an amuse-bouche: a tart shell filled with a yuzu shrimp and halibut ceviche-style mixture. A lovely touch! From the Restaurant Week menu: The calamari was lightly fried, perfectly crispy, and incredibly fresh. The Rosemary Lemon Bell & Evans Statler Chicken Breast was flavorful and tender, served with buttery potatoes and a rich Dijon chicken demi-glace. The bread pudding was warm, comforting, and finished with a delicious caramel drizzle. I also added the wine pairing for an extra $20--and as a wine lover , I'm so glad I did. The Italian Gavi was light and crisp with a mineral finish. The Oregon Pinot Noir had deep notes of plum and raspberry. The tawny port was smooth with a fig-like sweetness that paired beautifully with the dessert. Overall, it was a fantastic date night at a refined, upscale restaurant. Restaurant Week made it more accessible, but Mills Tavern is absolutely a spot I'd recommend for special occasions. The experience, service, and food all made for a memorable evening.

    Complimentary dish from chef

    Rating: 4.3 Came to try the place during restaurant week with friends. Parkings are valet or street parking. We got there for dinner and had a reservation but were not too busy. Inside is pretty large and many seatings are available along with bar. We were quickly sat down and looked through the menu. During restaurant week they offered few selections of 3 course meal which consist of starter, main dish, and desert. I chose point Judith's calamari for starter, angus filet mignon with pepper sauce, and sorbet tastings. Everything was good. Calamari was lightly fried and had good flavor and seasonings. Filet mignon was perfectly cooked and pepper sauce was excellent. Sorbet was light and refreshing. Service was very good and the waitress was attentive. Overall the place was very good. Food and service were great. Only downside is that the price is definitely on the higher end. Good place to go on special occasions.

    I went for dinner last night for the full first time. I knew they have a new chef, the new chef is vegan and was on Hell's Kitchen. I was really impressed. Our server was really attentive and knowledgeable. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful too. To start the meal we had two different kinds of freshly baked bread and 4 types of butter. I really wanted to get one of the veg options, they looked so good. But they have a new seasonal menu with a great fish option. I tried the seared salmon with lentils and baba ganoush, it was great. Some of my family members had steak and said it was cooked well. We had calamari to start and it was great. My cocktail was equally as good too. My sister in law had the scallops and they were cold when she was eating them but really tasty. The server offered us complimentary desserts to remedy this, so kind! I had the earl grey panna cotta - it was vegan and you would never know! We also had the bread pudding and ice cream sundae.

    Went to a prix fixe/wine tasting event here recently. Everything was 5 stars. Every course and wine pairing were terrific. The service was outstanding as well. Great price for everything we got. I definitely recommend going to one of their events, and can't wait to come back for their regular menu to try out.

    It had been a long time since we had been to Mill's Tavern. This last visit was wonderful. Aaron, our server was friendly and very attentive. We had a glass of wine each (great wine list here) and some delicious meat dishes. Filet mignon and short ribs. Great good, excellent service and lovely ambiance.

    I came here with a large group and they accommodated us very well! The service was amazing and extremely attentive, the restaurant looked classy, and the area around the restaurant is cute. The food was great for the most part. I got the 6 oz steak and it was delicious with bacon bits on top. My friends got the chicken and loved it, they said it was very juicy and well-seasoned. I also had a Caesar salad to start and it was delicious. The desserts were top notch: my favorite was the crème brûlée. One of my friends got the gnocchi though and did not like it because the gnocchi was fried, interesting.. Overall: great upscale restaurant that serves big groups well

    Tuna tartare app
    Kristen S.

    Beautiful restaurant, delicious food and strong cocktails. Our new fave steakhouse in PVD. Service was a bit slow but fine. We started with a Caesar salad and tuna tartare. The salad wasn't as well dressed as we like and the tuna tartare did not taste super fresh. Next time, we'll skip the apps. For entrees, we had the braised short rib special and a NY strip. Both delicious. Better than any steak we've had at a couple of other known steakhouses in the city. The Brussels Sprouts side were the star of the night. They were beautifully charred and so delicious. The Gorgonzola cheese was an unexpected but delicious addition. It was a good portion but we still wanted more. We agreed that we would come back just for the Brussels Sprouts lol. We ended with an espresso martini and the strawberry shortcake sundae. The dessert was OK but would skip next time. Would also request a different table. We were stuck in a corner (71) almost on top of another table. It was uncomfortable and we didn't have a nice view of the restaurant. Other than that, great experience and we're already talking about our next visit.

    Spontaneity double date! My friend suggested this place for a double date due to the restaurant week specials and of course I needed to try it out. The restaurant week was only $55 for a three course meal with some additions like lobster, $21, or 3 wine tastings pairs for $21. I added the wine tasting because it was needed! Friend says this spot is known for its wine too~ As a start, had the calamari, which was amazingly crunchy, savory, and not like your usual overly greasy dishes. This was light, fresh, lightly seasoned and the calamari taste was very present. I had the chicken, which was soft and savory, with very soft potatoes~ my partners filet mignon was the better dish after stealing a slice~ for desert, we all tried the different desserts, pudding bread, sorbet, and Vanilla creme Brûlée ! Brûlée was simple, nothing too special. The bread was amazingly, warm and cozy. The sorbet was very fresh after our heavy meal. The chef did give us an extra bite! A small bite size dish, with shrimp, with yuzu sauce. I wish I could describe it better but it was very delicious and subtly sweet savory bite. Wish I had more. Our server was Sarah, and she was kind, prompt and attentive to our empty dishes, and taste of the food. She did amazing memorizing all the descriptions of the food and wine. I'm no expert in wine, and I did nod at the beautiful descriptive wording of the food and its ingredients or flavor themes. This place wasn't crowded and we enjoyed our late Tuesday dinner time with no crowds or wait time. Our reservation was definitely ready for us. This place is a "special occasion" spot for sure. Very lovely. It is a pricy spot, but the food won't disappoint and you will have a lovely experience.

    Mill's Tavern is located on a busy street with limited parking. They do have valet parking, which is good to know given they don't post it on their website. Went here for a work-related dinner recently, and I'm sorry to say it was disappointing. From the "bread" and butter (tiny crostini-type rounds with a crunchy edge) to the calamari appetizer, nothing wowed me. (I take that back -- our waiter was AMAZING!) I ordered swordfish which came with root veggies. Fish was very dry, and root veggies were tasteless. I tried a bite of someone's Mac and cheese, and even that was underwhelming. Positives: Side Caesar with anchovies was decent, and the steaks that others had looked tasty. I expected more given the ambiance, price of the food and the reputation of the restaurant. I would try one of the many Providence restaurants before returning here.

    Ube cheesecake
    Karla M.

    My friend brought me here for my birthday. I suggested it since I had been here years ago and remember it being good. I was craving steak so I went in knowing what I wanted. We had a nice little nook, and I appreciated the single violet carnation they had as a table decorator. I did not anticipate ordering starters but my waiter convinced me on trying some of their oysters simply from reciting the special ones they had and regular menu ones. We each tried one Canadian oyster and one oyster with caviar. The one with caviar was obviously my favorite. The textures and flavors were more complex. For my main, I ordered the ribeye steak since I like some marbling and wanted something juicy. I haven't been brave enough to order my steak medium so my waiter was nice enough to let the chef know to cook mine medium "plus"--just a tad longer than medium which was perfect for me. One small observation was that the first few bites were really lovely and over time, it sort of lost its "wow". I'm not sure if it was just because I wasn't starved anymore. We also ordered a mac and cheese for the both of us. The serving size is good for 2, maybe more if you're having more than one side. The flavor was good, I especially liked the little bacon lardon pieces inside. I didn't think I'd be able to finish my steak, but I did, and as a reward, I ordered a dessert. I had their ube cheesecake. The presentation was phenomenal, really pretty. I loved the flavor of the cheesecake and it was soft but not mushy. I enjoyed the little sorbet to the side and the tartness of the raspberries to balance the sweet. I enjoyed my dinner here and would recommend it for a good dinner out in the city. The only downside is they're only open a few hours each night but on the bright side it's open everyday including Monday which is when we went.

    The 8 ounce filet - note the presentation
    George W.

    We were looking for dinner, and I spotted this place as the number 1 Steakhouse on Yelp. So we had to try it. It was a short walk from the Graduate Biltmore hotel across the river, very easy to do. This is a very nice place - the bar is extensive, the bartenders are amazing (I snuck a look at their mixing), and the service was excellent. We were never wanting for water or wine to be poured. Lots of deep brown wood - look at the shelves on the columns near the bar for some interesting wine-related eye candy. The place was pretty quiet on a Thursday night, and it was romantic. We were greeted promptly and seated on arrival. Water was brought out - you get your choice - we took still water. Then bread with butter, which was tasty. For started, we split a Caesar salad, which did have anchovies (white anchovies) which were quite tasty. I ordered their 8 ounce filet, while my wife had their Beef Ragu. The filet was very tender, on a bed of onions and mushrooms I believe with the Mills Tavern steak sauce over it. The beef ragu was very tasty with wagon wheel pasta. To go with this, we ordered and split an order (the orders are family sized) of their Red Roasted Potatoes, which were pretty good. To go with this, we selected a bottle of Penfolds Cabernet, which was quite a good balance for the meal. We wrapped up the meal with a Crème Brule that we shared. It was quite good, and then even included a Happy Anniversary plaque since I was traveling for my job and missed my anniversary this year. Quality costs so you can expect around $110 to $150 per person with a good bottle of wine. This was a very good meal, and I can see why this place holds the top rank in Yelp.

The NY strip ordered medium was hard to eat. The middle was moderately better but was able to eat about a third of it. Seasoning forward and very tough/chewy. The baked potato wasn't fully cooked so basically ignored that. Also at my table was the lamb and the pork chop, and both were said to be very good. Other adult table was a mix of steaks, sides, and salads with steak toppers. Mixed reviews over there but more over seasoning comments. A few people got dessert and they looked good.

He ended up going back and making them himself and they were much better but STILL. It shouldn't be this difficult for a bartender to make a very standard drink. The food unfortunately was also very mid. The table behind us actually sent their food back twice as well and the manager had to come over. It's also worth noting I put in the reservation it was my husband's birthday and there was no acknowledgement of it at all. This restaurant is meant to be a splurge for a nice dinner out and honestly was not up to par at all. $300 dinner for two and I was extremely disappointed. Honestly don't think we will be back.

    My mom always comes beforehand to decorate the table, but look at the view. It's always very beautiful and amazing here.

    I don't enjoy writing bad reviews, but this wasn't cool…read more They just opened and I walked in with my son. We sat, and then the music came on - a bit too loud and not something I was excited to hear during dinner. Since we were the only two people besides staff, I figured it might be okay to ask them to lower the volume or maybe change the tunes. Got a firm no on the volume as well as the selection. Honestly, I was surprised when the bartender said no. I got up and left. No thoughts on returning.

    5 of my friends and I went to the Congress Tavern before a PPAC show on a Saturday night. Great…read morelocation for that. The burger I got was excellent, they were able to accommodate my food allergies, and the service was lovely. Unfortunately, it was louder than any bar I've been to in a decade. I don't know if it's normally like this on a Saturday night, or whether it was the individual parties that were happening there, but we literally had people jumping up and down behind us with more than one large group that was whooping and cheering intermittently, such that we had to absolutely scream to be heard by the folks at our table. I left hoarse. It was more like a club than a tavern the night we visited. Heads up--the ladies room is a single room, with no separate mirror/make up space. There were a lot of women who wanted to touch up or actually use the facilities the night we visited. Prepare for a line. We ultimately left and had a better social experience at the bar right across the street. I would definitely return to The Congress Tavern for lunch... but I wouldn't go back on a Saturday night.
