My husband & I had dinner at the Mill House & we were very disappointed! It took forever to be greeted by the bartender to finally get a seat. Once she took our drink order, it took forever for her to make them bc she was having a conversation w guests at the bar. I understand she can’t ignore them but she should be able to multitask. Then once the drinks were made, she stood there w them in her hands & continued to keep talking to the same guests. She took our order & we had ordered 2 appetizers & 2 burgers w minor modifications. She had to come back to us bc she couldn’t remember what the order was. My husband’s burger came out almost immediately after the appetizers & she forgot my burger! One thing I was also confused about was the burrata & heirloom appetizer. There weren’t any tomatoes. Although the food was good, the service was disappointing. She was very nice but didn’t pay much attention to detail. You also charge for valet which is absurd being that there isn’t any parking & we were spending money to eat at the restaurant. We were really looking forward to a great experience there but was sadly disappointed. Thank you for your time & hopefully you will take these points into consideration. Best, Monique Osburn

I made a reservation for the dining room but when we arrived I was told the dining room was closed and we could take a seat in the bar area. (which is super loud). Later I overheard the bartender telling someone else she wasn’t interested in walking down the stairs to wait on anyone. The food was so salty I left the majority of it on my plate. Conversely, my husbands dish had no seasoning! Don’t think we’ll go back there again. Too bad because it used to be a good restaurant.

Christian James is under transition by Hilton. They do not have the staff to accommodate dinner. Do not make reservations or dine here. It’s fine for a drink or a quick bite. Otherwise make alternate plans.

Long wait to be greeted once we walked in even with a reservation. I still had to wait a while for a table. Another long wait for a server to take our order. Food came cold after a long wait on top of running out of steak after our order was already placed.

Overall service was slow, waiter did not return to fill up water glass. Appetizer came out after the meal came out. Wine was ordered and showed up 30 minutes after we ordered a glass of wine.

Poor service and a lack lust meal made for a not so good first experience. First the bread was not soft, the chicken for my wife's salad was so dry it was hard. My salmon was the must redeeming feature of the meal with the risotto been a bit under done. It was valentines day and i only remember seeing one server and that may explain the poor service with the lack of filling water glass or a check up. However i still blame the restaurant for being under staff on a day that many will want to have a great experience. We don't plan on giving them another chance.

We had dined here previously and found it to be excellent. However the restaurant was bought out by the hotel. Not remotely the same experience. VERY limited menu, not what is listed on the current website. Food is extremely overpriced for the quality. Very unfortunate change.

Unfortunately! Our service was not good. We were seated on the second level where the bar is. It took 20 minutes before someone to came to the table to offer drinks. Food came out slow. The quality of the food was not worth the price. Fortunately! The ladies(3 all together) were great.
