    I had the pork chop which is one of my favorite items. It's always good but one was exceptional. The tomato jam is genius. Trent is just the coolest server ever.

    Overall the food was delicious! We had the fried green tomatoes and , garlic shrimp as appetizers and the Parmesan crusted trout and the buttermilk fried chicken. Additionally the bread served was amazing !!! The timing was on point for serving our meals. I met Wendy who was simply sweet. The ladies at the door were patient and kind and one took a picture for us. I will return, thanks so much…

    Overall we had a nice dinner. The pot roast & salmon entrees were great. . A couple of issues that created a less than stellar rating: she crab soup was delicious, but served lukewarm. The the boneless lamb entree was tasty, portion was ok, lacked a good vegetable & also served lukewarm. This is a special restaurant but lacked that special experience this time.

    We enjoy Milners restaurant because their offerings and service are very consistent. Broad wine list including European offerings and certain menu items, like NC trout and Buttermilk chicken are always excellent.

    Food was good, took a little longer than usual for the dinner to arrive. It was a little noisy, but it could be where we were sitting. Food was good.
