Delightful dinner during restaurant week. We did the 3-course menu without wine and everything was spot-on (corn bisque with duck bacon pieces, pan-seared halibut and chocolate mousse/meyer lemon cheesecake). This restaurant is one of the few places in the area that gets everything right-food, service and ambiance. We’re never disappointed!

Wonderful meal for our anniversary tonight. My husbands first time dining but I have been there a few times (old and new) and it’s always a great time. We enjoyed the beautiful carrots as an appetizer, the NY strip and the venison burger followed by two delightful desserts. Our cocktails were wonderful and we were even surprised with a complimentary champagne toast. Ed was exceptional as our waiter and the rest of the staff made sure we had everything we needed. Can’t wait to bring family here in a couple of weeks! Really loving the new and evolving feel of Milton Inn! Thank you!

Didn't know exactly what to expect when visiting this restaurant as I went with a couple of other people. Was told it was a beautiful historic building but I didn't know much else. Went on a very rainy Sunday night and they checked our coats and umbrellas which was a surprise. The seating was comfortable and the ambiance was quite nice. Started with drinks from the bar and they were spectacular! Started with salad with scallops; the salad was perfect! Ordered the rockfish for dinner and it was really good. Dessert was the chocolate mousse which was really one of the best desserts I've had in quite some time. They even gave us a little tour of the 2 floors after dinner and gave us the history of the property. Very interesting! Will definitely return again!!

My husband and I had a fantastic meal when we visited Milton Inn for restaurant week. From the prix fix menu, we ordered the heirloom tomatoes, snails, venison, and tarte tatin. We also supplemented with the fois gras because why not? The heirloom tomatoes were lackluster, but everything else was extremely delicious. The escargot, venison, and tarte tatin are all things I would recommend for as long as they are on the menu. Outside of the food, the service was excellent! Staff checked on us more often than we've experienced recently, which was a nice change of pace. They were all pleasant and very willing to offer suggestions and info on the menu. We left very satisfied and will definitely make the drive up to Sparks again soon.

Great food - but that is expected at a restaurant of this caliber. The goat cheese fondue was spectacular and the potato soup was like no other. Steak is always good but I was pleasantly surprised with the mushroom tart. Recommend for a special date night, family in town or you simply want to treat yourself. Located in an old inn there are many rooms and "vibes" with a beautiful outdoor area in the warmer months.

Had an amazing time here it was a very intimate place with live music as you are enjoying your meal. I sat at the bar for the happy hour menu which was great and the bartender was amazing and very knowledgeable of all the drinks. I will be coming back here.

I love this place. There are two menus - one for the tavern, and the other for the more sumptuous dinner menu. I opted for the tavern menu and was treated very well (as were all of the other tables around me). A vegetarian was in the party, and one of the reasons I chose this place was because the vegetarian options were something that I, as a meat eater, would also order. He got the gnocchi and I got the burger as an entree, and we split the mousse for dessert. Not to miss: the onion soup or the escargot.
