    We were pleased with our experience. The menu is varied, with some vegetarian choices, and we all enjoyed our meals. Our server, James, was excellent. He was pleasant and helpful, and very good at arriving when needed, but not making us feel pressured or rushed. Our thanks to James and Mill Creek chefs and staff. We hope to be back before long.

    Unwelcome experience - mother denied entry to dining hall with a stroller (though there was plenty of room), and were inflexible to reasonable solutions. Staff were rude and dismissive when we raised concerns. We won’t be returning and would not recommend Mill Street to anyone dining with a young child.

    My husband and I went here for the first time for lunch and we had a wonderful experience. Our server Jessie was friendly and attentive in spite of the lunch crowd. My husband had the elk burger which he said melted in his mouth along with fried and a spicy aioli sauce and the tankhouse ale. He would highly recommend. I had the pork schnitzel from their Oktoberfest menu along with the Cabernet Sauvignon. My meal tasted great though the spaetzel was little salty. The sauces complemented the meal nicely. Will definitely be back for dinner at a later time.
    Mill St. Brew Pub - OttawaResponded on September 29, 2026
    Thank you for joining us for lunch and for the lovely review. We're glad your server was friendly and attentive despite the midday crowd. It’s great to hear the elk burger and tankhouse ale were such a hit and that the pork schnitzel paired well with the Cabernet. We appreciate the note about the spaetzel being a bit salty. We look forward to welcoming you back for dinner.

    We were inside, the aircon keeps it relatively cool, I would sit outside next time. Food for all 4 of us was good but not spectacular, service good.

    We were on the patio beside a couple with 2 yappy dogs. They should have been asked to leave. Between the dogs and the owners telling them to shut up it was an unpleasant experience.
