mill street brew pub

may 14-13. to whom it may concern,

i was in on the evening of may 14 this week to try to catch some of the sens game.
i had been in with a group sometime last summer and swore i would never go back.
my friends managed to convince me to visit mill st. again for some drinks.

this time we sat at the bar. pete was taking care of us. he was awesome! very down to earth, entertaining and efficient. we didn't end up taking a table that we were wait-listed on because we were content with thegreatservice pete was able to provide!

we will be back for pete!

if i wanted to have a 4 hour dinner i would go to beckta!. i did not enjoy my experience at all...
we had a 5pm reservation. the hostess had us going around in circles because she was clueless to what was going on and didn't know where our table was. please note it wasn't even busy yet.
i don't even like beer and the wine choices could have been much better.
i tried the french onion soup....it was ok but not hot enough, and the cheese could've been melted more. i went for the sunday special prime rib dinner, server said he hadn't heard anything bad about it...liar!
meat was medium rare on one side(how i asked for it) and well done on the other side...it looked like they pan seared it on the one-side. 5 people at our table ordered and they were all the same, nobody was happy. the meat was so tough...i couldn't eat it. the yorkshire pudding was barely edible...also tough. service was slow, ordering took forever, drinks took forever, no quality checks and food was awful! when i asked for a spoon i was given a dirty spoon. when i asked for a clean one....it was like i was being a pain. what's wrong with expecting clean cutlery? i would never recommend this place and i will never be back!
if you want a good prime rib....try lieutenant's pub!

great spot to stop for a drink. this is a perfect spot to stop for a drink if you are following the waterfront trail to downtown. lovely patio, really pretty old building, views of the river,greatbeer.

food wasgreatbut service was horrible. server was out of it and food took forever. won't be going back.

so good. my first trip to the brew pub was just for a beer on a monday night with some friends. service was amazing: smiles from the girls at the front andgreatservice from the bartenders while i was waiting for a table. the pagers are awesome!

we didn't mean to stay for the food, but our friendly server informed us that there was a $5 appetizer special on monday nights. the carnitas were delicious but my favourite was the calamari. goesgreatwith a pint of stock ale!

one of the managers made a point to come over to our table and introduce himself. mike was courteous and friendly and made the experience very personal. nice touch!

the atmosphere was loud at times but no worse than any other bar on a busy night.
all in all, amazing location,greatservice and delicious food! i'll be back and i'll be bringing friends!

great food if you don't mind the wait!. we came here for lunch mid-week and sat on the packed patio. the atmosphere was lovely but we waited about 10 minutes before our waiter came to greet us. we ordered the beer mustard mussels as an appetizer and a couple pints of their organic. the beer arrived after our mussels did, but the mussels were some of the best i've ever had. for 12$ we got a large bucket of the largest best tasting mussels i've ever had. highly recommended. for our mains we ordered the vegetarian flatbread and the chicken club sandwich, very tasty but nowhere near as tasty as the mussels. for dessert we ended with the scrumptious red velvet cake. the food wasgreatbut the service was less then desirable. i can only hope that because they're a newer restaraunt they haven't weeded out the weaker servers/bartenders yet....only time will tell.

great place!!!. i love this pub.greatvegetarian options, all delicious. kudos to the chef and kitchen staff. the restaurant is beautiful and pete (bartender) goes out of his way to welcome you and ensure you are happy with everything. on my last visit pete took the time to make me a drink based on my likes and dislikes and it turned out amazing. big thanks to him!

good times!!.greattimes at mill street! as good as the toronto airport location if not better. we were served by guillaume and he recommended the mill street cobblestone stout to me. if you're a fan of this kind of beer, you definitely want get a six-pack from their adjoining store before heading out!

great beer,greatfood!. i went to mill street tonight for the first time. it was my first time but my friend is somewhat of a regular. after my experience tonight i can see why he keeps on going back.
the building is stunning and you can't beat the location - i can't wait until the warm weather returns and the patios are open!
we had the carnitas as an appetizer and they were delicious! for my main i had the tikka masala which i loved and my friend (a creature of habit) had the duck sandwich with fries.
to drink we each ordered flights which was the perfect way to sample one of their many beers on tap! my favorite was the portage - exclusive to ottawa!
all in all it was agreatfirst experience! there was also a private event going on upstairs and we ended up seeing defense minister peter mackay on our way out! pretty cool!
i'm looking forward to my next visit!

sat on the patio with agreatcombination of sun and shade.  surprisingly quiet considering how close it is to the roads.  the belgian ale was wonderful and perfect for a patio.  great beer for sure.  the food was well enjoyed by all.  the fish and chips were nice and crispy (nicely portioned too).  the chorizo chicken pot pie was delicious and flavorful.  the bison burger is probably the best burger i have eaten.  juicy doesn't describe it adequately.  the mix of jalapenos and cheese was phenomenal.  my mouth s watering again writing this review.  highly recommend going here for thegreatbeers,greatfood, or a combination of both,.

my family along with two of our friends attended the mill street brew pub on saturday, july 16.  from start to finish it was probably the worse dining experience i ever had.  we called and were advised that they didn't take reservations. nevertheless we decided to take a chance and when we arrived at the pub, we asked if we could sit near the water.  we were told that wasn't possible because they didn't have a waiter/waitress for that section.  however, we noticed that there was only one table of six people in there that night with plenty of empty tables.

we all ordered drinks and then ordered our meals and that's where it started to really go downhill fast.  we waited over an  hour for simple meals like fish and chips and wings.  no one came to our table to explain the delay.  the place wasn't even that busy.  in the meantime, we had different servers come and replenish our drinks.  when we asked them what was happening with our meal, they advised that they didn't know.  finally, our original waitress came back and advised that there had been a problem with the deep fryer and she hadn't been informed.  an hour later we received our meal - probably the worse fish and chips i have ever had - the chips were cold and the fish, when you cut into the hard coating, oozed oil.  i ate it, because by this time i was starving.  my son ordered mild wings and when he received his order, they were extra spicy and he couldn't eat them.  he reordered his wings - took about 15 minutes and when he received them half looked like they weren't cooked and the other half were burnt.  

the waitress said that the manager would be coming over to speak to us but later she advised that he had told her to handle it.  a 30% discount was applied to our bill.  

when my friend tried to talk to the manager about the service we received, he made the comment that he wasn't even aware of the situation - but who authorized the 30% discount then? 

we had just finished a two week tour of the east coast and everywhere we went, the service wasgreatand the food was fantastic.  only at mill street pub did we experience rudeness, ineptness and a total disrespect for the customer.

we won't be going back there and will be telling our friends to definitely find another restaurant!!!

good atmosphere andgreatbeer, but the experience is hindered by painstakingly slow service, and overpriced, mediocre food. came during lunchtime and ordered the wednesday special of fried chicken. we were given some beer tasters while we waited and they were absolutely delicious, so we ordered...

always agreattime at mill street. good
food,greatbeer, awesome service and ambiance. my fiancé attended their annual robbie burns dinner and it was amazing! a 5 course meal / beer pairing for $70. with scot in my ancestry, i was excited to try food from the homeland. smoked salmon, chicken soup, scotched egg, beef tenderloin and haggis, and sweet and spice vanilla ice cream for dessert, each pair perfectly with different beers. not only that, the brewmaster gives a speech and explains each beer you are drinking as they come out. it was really cool. i love mill street on any given day, but i would highly suggest attending one of their sit down dinners, it's pretty sweet.

i really want to like this place. good atmosphere. greatlocation. service is good. but food is terrible. ok for beer and appetizers but don't bother for dinner.

this is the place for good beers and good snacks.greatviews in a nice old building. tourtière was good and fresh with peas and ok mashed potatoes. typical british style pub food but with some more sophisticated options. many crave the elk burger here.

went to the mill street brew pub for lunch on a monday...monday's special is their angus burger for $5!!!greatvalue and very, very delicious yukon gold fries! got a flight of beer and felt relaxed and ready to tackle my afternoon! couldn't get a seat by the river-view because of many reservations but overall i was very pleased!
