| - I joined friends for dinner, who were in town staying at a nearby hotel. I was looking forward to trying this place as I've only ever heard positive comments about the original Miller Tavern, close to my home. Unfortunately, I was disappointed and my experience leaves me no desire to try the north Yonge location.
My friends had the daily special: steak frites. The fries were tasty--A thicker shoestring and I think they were battered. They were nice and crispy. The medium steak was a little overdone. Also what was odd is that it appeared as if it was sliced before it was cooked--not after. It resembled the main component of a beef stir fry. Both my friends were not too fond of their meals, "It's alright" is what they said. ($19)
I had the salmon special which came with a succotash and a potato pancake. The server praised my choice and told me how tasty it was. The salmon was, like the steak, slightly overcooked and a little dry (but the flavour was good). The succotash was, meh. Reminded me of a can of mixed vegetables. The potato pancake was heavy, very greasy and rubbery, as if it was made well in advance and microwaved. I would not order this again. (I don't remember the price)
Desserts were a disappointment and it seems, pulled from the freezer before they were brought to our table. Two of us ordered crepes with bananas and Nutella. The crepes were obviously frozen as proven by their temperature, but also by the watery condensation on top...so watery that the powdered sugar that was sprinkled on top melted before it reached out table and resulted in a clear syrup like concoction that glistened the top of the crepes. My friend's crème brûlée was was cold and clear that the sugar crust was not prepared-to-order. (I think these desserts were $9 each)
Upon arriving, we were immediately greeted by the hostess and out server had a positive, helpful attitude. Service was a little sloppy but was warm and friendly which made up for the quality of the meal.
As another reviewer commented, the prices appear to be steep and a little unreasonable based on the quality of the food I tried. We had the specials which were not pricey but the regular menu items certainly were.
The decor is masculine and a little dated. Think "old library." There are those leg laps from "A Christmas Story" everywhere and empty Texas mickey bottles of booze.
I will not be returning to this restaurant.
