The Cafe is my partner and my go to place for a couples night out. We always pair our orders to share. I have never had a bite or sip that wasn't exceptional . I believe most items are cooked in the wood fired oven, to perfection. We usually go an hour before closing and never feel rushed. We enjoy the cozy ambiance and think it is a good value. Please don't come it is our special place. JK.
Went to the Millbrook Cafe on a Saturday evening with my wife and sister-in-law period we started off with the seared scallops and the jumbo shrimp which were both excellent. Cooked to perfection and plentiful. Then we had the salad which was also very good and fresh. My wife had the full rack of ribs, sister in law had the avalon and shrimp, and I had the Brazilian lobster tail, shrimp and scallops. All three meals came with outstanding vegetables and red potatoes. All three meals were cooked perfectly. It is very easy to overcook lobster and shrimp but the cook was spot on, tender and juicy. Service, food and atmosphere were all top notch. Will definitely be back!
We dine at the Millbrook Cafe frequently; Dominika and her family consistently provide wonderful food, attentive service and warm hospitality. This evening, Chef Alex prepared a beautiful, fresh piece of cod that was blackened and cooked perfectly; it was absolutely one of the finest pieces of fish I have ever eaten anywhere in the world.
Wonderfull place with really really best food. The onion soup is must eat!!!! I will miss it!
I went there for dinner with my mom for the first time. The dinner was great. The owner very nice lady was there to talk to you and help you with your order. The waiter Peter, very nice young man. The dinner was was very good. My mom , also enjoyed her dinner as well and also liked her cup of coffee. I give the Millbrook Cafe 5 Stars. Bob from Pleasant Valley, NY
We have been coming since it's opening and have never been disappointed. We've brought our guests and family numerous times. Bravo !! Family business for 2 generations
I’ve been coming here for many years and the food is always impeccable! I’ve never had a bad meal nor ever had bad service. All the food is cooked in an open fireplace and adds the perfect flavor to everything, including steak, seafood and all the sides! This is family run and I’ve sent many people here over the years and have always been warmly thanked for the recommendation! A must try when your in Millbrook
Incredible. Everything is cooked in a brick oven, and chef Alex is an artisan. Dominika is gracious, delightful, and impeccable, and the entire family makes you feel wonderfully at home. I checked some of the one-star reviewers here, and do you know what I found? Chronic 1-star reviewers who have horrific 1-star experiences everywhere they go. Do you know why? Because they themselves ARE the horror element in every interaction. :) The food is sensational, and it's thoughtfully and meticulously prepared. The ambiance is warm, intimate, cozy, and upscale. Favorites include the shrimp cocktail, French onion soup, grilled shrimp caesar salad, puff pastry, steak, and casserole. A++
Update: it's been 2 years since my original review. Tonight had the ribeye special. It's was delicious. The drinks are still very good and the service is excellent. Been here quite a few times for dinner. The staff and owners are very polite and friendly. Food is always excellent. The duck is my favorite. Drinks are good as well. I would recommend making a reservation because it is on the smaller side so it fills up quick.
We drove 45 minutes to dine specifically at the Millbrook Cafe and I have to say, the food (Chef Alex) and service (thank you Julian and John) did not disappoint. It was absolutely brilliant. I had the Sole with Shrimp and Scallops, my wife had the NY Strip and she was in heaven and lastly our friend had the Rack of lamb which was perfection. We loved meeting Dominika and learning about the history. We can’t wait to be back and we will. Julie
