Our server was great and knowledgeable. Food was excellent. Tried Mac & Cheese for the first time and will definitely order again. My wife's steak was perfectly cooked to order, and my crab cake was outstanding . Finished with white cake and bourbon chocolate sauce, great choice.

This was by far one of the loveliest dining experiences I’ve ever had. What a delight to have Millstone here in the Bluegrass. We had the salmon and the braised short ribs. Both were exceptional! The cocktails were divine too. Ricky was both attentive and hospitable. We can’t wait to return!
