Mill Street Brewery has a 4.5 star rating here, and I'm failing to see the connection. The atmosphere is typical pub. On the day that we visited (September 10) the temperature outside is 18 degrees, and with the AC cranked it felt cooler inside than it was outside.
Our waitress was friendly, but not exceptional. I've just returned from a trip to Georgia, so perhaps my standards are higher than usual, given that I couldn't have even found a bad thing to say about any of the servers there (even if I tried). Why don't servers in Canada go above and beyond? Especially knowing that we were paying too high of prices for over-rated pub fare!
We had the spinach and artichoke dip to start. The pretzel bread was over cooked and too crunchy. $11.
My friend had the Lobster Mac and Cheese which sounds divine, however it tasted more like regular macaroni and cheese with what really could have been any fish, and no one would know the difference. $19.
My burger was supposed to be some special burger with Swiss cheese, and a mushroom and onion spread. The "signature" 9 ounce patty was so over cooked that it was very dry and cardboard might've tasted better. $16.
All in all we were disappointed by the experience. In a city full of great eats, they're going to have to pull up their socks.
