The food was good. I had the steak burger. The server was the BEST EVER HANDS DOWN, and I've eaten a lot of places. He was personable, respectful, and I think we got a little "extra" being a group of women. He also introduced me to the most awesome gin. He took pics of us, and allowed me to take his. I cannot describe how much finer he made my experience. I have been here before, but his service shined. Impressed!

My wife surprised me one afternoon, and came by to take me to lunch. As I work Downtown, the first place that came to mind was Millieâs. I have heard so much about this family owned restaurant that we couldnât pass up the opportunity to experience it.Millieâs is a small, yet charming and cozy in its own way. The afternoon we went, it was not crowded, and we were seated in a booth of our choice. The waitress was friendly and offered recommendations from the menu. Cheeseburgers for the both of us, with a more than ample side of the best home fries Iâve ever tasted.Everyone in and around Richmond needs to enjoy a meal at Millieâs at least once. Weâll be back for brunch very soon.

Our family (6 adults & 2 children) celebrated our youngest grandchildâs birthday at the Jefferson recently. Superb quality and variety of food â ranging from oysters on the half shell & jumbo shrimp to prime rib, ham, outstanding vegetables and salads... and then, thereâs the dessert table. Itâs amazing and beautiful! Although a bit expensive, this brunch is worth every penny. The atmosphere is exquisite and the service is great. Book months in advance â this brunch sells out far in advance. Reservations are necessary.
