What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about The Miller's Toll's exceptional craft cocktails and uniquely delicious small plates, often highlighting the cozy and romantic ambiance. While reservations are recommended due to popularity, the overall experience is frequently described as memorable and worth returning for.
"I absolutely love the atmosphere here. It’s very relaxed, warm and inviting. The drinks are fantastic, my favorite is the Orange Blossom. The food is incredible and the menu is very well thought out. It’s big enough to accommodate different diets but small enough to ensure the ingredients are fresh. 5 stars all around."
Ariel Kalenian
"So excited we found this place. We sat outside but inside seemed very comfortable and cool. The food was outstanding with incredible balance of flavors. My cocktail was clean and delicious as well. The chocolate espresso cookie was the perfect end to the night!"
Kerriann Catlaw
"The concept here is excellent, craft cocktails and light finger food with a highly social aspect. Individual rooms available for a party for an intimate and private setting allowing a focus on the people you're with rather than a loud open space having to contend with others. The cocktails are expertly crafted, had one of the best old fashions I have ever had, and food is excellent as well, all perfect for sharing. If you are looking for a place to socialize with friends, I would highly recommend The Miller's Toll."
