    Surprisingly quiet for a restaurant. Everyone enjoyed their meals (I had the seared tuna salad and it was delicious). Trent, our server, made sure we had everything we needed for a great dining experience.

    We came to celebrate my birthday! The absolute best choice we could have made! We were greeted with such kindness and professionalism. Seated in a very timely manner with a table of privacy. Kat was our waitress and she was AMAZING!! This is a beautiful restaurant with something for everyone on the menu. Our drinks were beautiful and heavily poured. The prices were affordable and the food was delicious. My steak was cooked to perfection. They stayed open for our party with no rush at all! This was absolutely the best dining experience I’ve had in Winston Salem. I highly recommend visiting here and we will be back!! A huge Thank you to all of the staff for a perfect Birthday!!!!

    Milner's is a staple in our restaurant rotation. Anything ordered will be delicious. I LOVE the Moravian cookie crusted salmon, mac-n-cheese (served piping hot in a ramekin), and the Milner's honey Manhattan. The parmesean Brussel sprouts were on the seasonal menu as an appetizer and DELECTABLE. I think they should be added as a permanent side. I've had almost every item on the menu. Whatever you decide to eat will be outstanding!! If you're on the fence about going, get off the fence and go.

    We found Milner's a dozen years ago while looking for a place that served fried green tomatoes. We have been back many times, believing Milner's to be one of the best in Winston. Food was always great. Service was outstanding, and ambiance was very good. I have had several great filets at Milner's. The last three trips, however, have left some disappointment. The service remains one of the best. Food prep is also first rate. But the beef I have been served the last three visits has been less than I have expected. The last trip the double sirloin was rather tough, which was a disappointment. This trip, however, was worse. The mashed potatoes were dry. Much of the asparagus was as big around as a finger, white in color, low in flavor and not very tender. The ribeye was prepared medium rare as requested and presented well, but it was poorly trimmed with large pieces of fat and had gristle throughout. I actually had to return some from my mouth to the plate as inedible. It seems to me the preparation and effort at Milner's remains the same, but the quality of beef is no longer what it once was. I have a dinner group I go out with on occasion, and we take turns picking the restaurant. I brought them to Milner's. I need a new place for when it is next my turn.

    We enjoyed our dinner very much. The food was excellent and the live jazz band was absolutely delightful. Very nice ambience. The thing that kept me from giving 5 stars was that it felt as if we were being rushed. And the restaurant was not at all crowded. The waitress asked for drink orders as we were taking our seats. We told her that we needed a little time to look at the menu and make decisions. She returned in about a minute and asked again. This was repeated several times as we went through the process of ordering drinks and food. Though to be fair, after we had our food there did not seem to be any effort to rush us.

    When I made the reservation I asked for a nice table and stated it was a birthday. Got a terrible table in the middle of the room. Food took a long time and with so many different people serving us , I didn’t know who to ask about it. Food wasn’t that great tonight , I usually like it here but I think that you don’t go to a southern cuisine restaurant and order steak …. Should have had chicken. They also made sure we knew they don’t give a birthday dessert , we had to buy it. It’s ok… my next birthday event will not be at Milners.

    They have the best pork chop in town, and the food in general was good. Our waitress was overwhelmed and did a poor job. With the $8 upcharge for Woodford, my old-fashioned was nearly $20. Dinner was good, but not with $135 for the two of us.

    The ambience was really nice, and we enjoyed the music that was playing. The food was delicious and prepared well. To start they bring you some of the most amazing pillowy bread and butter which is worthy of going back again and again. We had the top sirloin and the pork chop, both were very very yummy. The collard greens were awesome. I will definitely make another trip here when in Winston Salem!

    Server was terrific…I have a shellfish allergy and many restaurants use the same grill for shellfish and flatfish- the server informed the kitchen and they cooked the trout in a separate pan and avoided cross-contamination. We had a table that was perfect for us- I had requested one close to door as some in the party have mild mobility issues- food was very good…

    We've been here for dinner, but our first time for brunch. As usual, excellent experience end to end with service and dining. We went after 1:00pm and it was not crowded. In our opinion, this is a top 3 non-chain for brunch in the Triad. My wife had the sautéed Angus Beef Tips & Fried Oysters; tender beef with a delicious mushroom gravy, collard greens were seasoned, cooked to perfection. She's picky about restuarant grits, but not one complaint about these very creamy and flavorful grits. Fried oysters-tasted fresh and were fried but not hard, like W-S/GSO seafood spots usually do. I had the Blackened Salmon & Eggs - eggs were scrambled perfectly and fluffy, grits were creamy, not salty; and asparagus was sauteed crisp, not limp. Not a huge fan of capers, but they blended well with the whole plate. Salmon was seasoned well, moist; none of it was tough or over cooked. Couldn't eat it all so packed up half of the meal to go, and enjoyed it all over for dinner. We plan to visit here soon!

    I took my wife to Miller’s for her birthday I have eaten there a bunch and I usually love it the food was good but my steak was over cooked I asked for rare and got medium and our server was rude and very disrespectful she don’t refill my drink and my spouses after we asked. I honestly for the first time in my life didn’t want to pay for my meal because service was so bad.
