"We eat out often, enjoying both top-of-th-line and casual restaurants of all genres. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. I have chosen to do this so that no one else has to endure this really awful place. I don't know why anyone would give it a positive review or return for a second time.

We did not have appetisers but the entrees took nearly an hour to arrive. I had roast chicken which was swimming in grease with no flavor. My wife had mushroom ravioli which was also tasteless and very greasy."

"Great place for romantic date nights and to celebrate special occasions. Lump crab cakes for appetizer, delicious! We ordered the braised lamb and seared scallop dish for main course. They were just perfect! Special thanks to our server for an excellent rose wine suggestion (La Bergamone).
The light was a little too bright for us. However all in all a great experience!"

"Food is wonderful, local if possible, organic when available. Can be expensive if order drinks, appetizer, entree and desert, but is clearly worth it. We have been here many times, and they do better (faster, better food preperation) when they are not overwhelmed and crowded--probably true of most restaurants. We especially like that you can switch side dishes among entrees if you wish."

"I've never had anything other than a great meal at Mildreds. They continue to do wonderful things with duck and find creative ways to serve seafood. I also like their emphasis on locally-grown food. The servers are always energetic, attentive and well-informed. All in all, a great experience."

"Disappointing no special vegetarian entree despite advance notice.
Did not take note of gluten free diet for one guest.
Desserts were all heavy cake."
