Standard pub food mixed with beer inspired extras such as "beer drenched cedar planked salmon". The prices were reasonable compared to neighboring competitors.
Service:
This place only takes a handful of reservations to allow room for walk-in's. We were quoted a 45 min wait at the restaurant after being denied a reservation over the phone. We wandered around the Distillery District shops for 15 minutes until our table pager rang. The service was friendly, prompt, attractive and attentive. A+ for the wait staff.
Drinks:
Cryptic tasting platters that feature 4 small glasses of beer are the easiest way to sample what is brewed on site. Compared to other micro breweries that I've visited, I was a little disappointed that the beer didn't taste better. I didn't want a 2nd glass of anything so I continued to happily sample everything. Only one of the beers that I tried (of some 10 different flavors) had a fresh out of the cask taste. The other 9 had the same marinated taste shared by common kegs available anywhere.
Food:
The food was adequate but not outstanding. Laminated menus offered standard pre-frozen burgers, small pieces of fish, and familiar fries presented as you'd expect in any bar. It's disappointing only because if the menu and presentation of the food was improved, this place could be one of the best watering holes in the city.
Would I go back:
I'll go back to the Mill Street Brewery if I'm in the area and in the mood for a beer and conversation. I won't go back if I'm looking for a special meal or something out of the ordinary.
