Matt the Miller's Tavern

This is an update. Last time I came here was for their Sunday brunch. I decided to give this place a shot so the family and I visited for  dinner. Here are my notes:

- Service was great. We were seated right away. Hostess was friendly and our server was nice.
- Pace of food service was good.
- Our drinks were refilled promptly.
- TVs everywhere.
- Food was pretty good. Ordered hot wings and the buffalo sauce cleared my sinus. Lol. The "millers" burger is insanely big. Nothing that I've seen before size wise. The mushroom flat bread was good too.
- Impressive presentation of the kids menu. We ordered fish and chips for the lil one. The "chips" came out in a mini fryer basket and I thought it was a nice touch.
- Great selection of beer and wine. Although I will suggest more selection of champagne and even champagne by the glass.
- The location is nice. There's plenty of parking.
- It's priced right.... I mean... very reasonably priced. The kids menu as well as the alcohol selection has a good price point as well.

Overall, skip brunch and come here for dinner instead. You can't go wrong for sure.

Pros: plenty of seating, local(ish) beer selections, great lunch specials, good for groups, friendly service
Cons: drink menu is a bit pricey (so check out their specials, like 1/2 off wine on Wednesday!)

I grabbed lunch here with a girlfriend recently.  I had heard of this place, but until a recent drive in Carmel I didn't know where it was.  It seemed like a perfect place to have a lunch and drinks on a Saturday afternoon.  

We parked in the garage below their plaza, but parking right outside their door was available.  We were seated promptly in the bar area.  If you're looking for a draught beer (and why would you look for any other kind??), make sure you ask for their draught menu because it's not on their standard menu.  I liked the local selections available!

While we sipped our beers, my girlfriend and I looked over the menu.  It's not extensive, which in my mind usually means what they do offer is pretty tasty.  I went with the lunch special, which was a bowl of soup and a flatbread.  The garlic zucchini soup and pear & Gorgonzola flatbread were both delicious.  The flatbread was a little hard to eat because it was messy and kept falling apart while I was munching on it, but I won't fault the business for this!

Service was friendly and quick.  It seemed like we had two servers, because one person took our drink orders, another took our food order and then they were both by checking on us and bringing the bill.  I had no problem with this however, because they were both very friendly.  Do I tip both?  I didn't know and just left a nice tip for whichever one picked up the check!

All in all: I'd consider coming back here, but it's a chain and I'm not super into dining at chain restaurants when I can support local business.

Basic menu. There were out of tenderloin when I ordered, so had turkey club( not exciting ) fries were same level as McDonalds. Had the beer cheese soup, guess I was expecting a creamy beer cheese, was a gritty, not overly tasty. I'll try again for dinner and appetizers, but will  go out of my way for lunch...
