We arrived on a Saturday around 1:45, waited at the hostess station for about 3 minutes, no one in sight we moved to the main dining room /bar where a server acknowledged us. We asked if we could sit on the patio, he cheerfully greeted us and said yes it’s open seating.

Once seated, the server was seated (yes seated) across from us heavily engaged in a conversation with her friends, we waited over 15 minutes when finally the friendly server from inside brought us menus and water.

The patio had about 4 tables so it took another 10 minutes for him to come back and take our drink order, and another 10 to take our food order. I asked about the wing and mussel, the server suggested the mussels; stating they were larger than most restaurants and quite popular, so I ordered the curry coconut mussels and my friend the burger.

When the food finally arrived, the mussels were shrivelled, dry, cooked to death and covered in the curry sauce as if to mask this obvious amateur attempt. I’m sorry but for $17 I’d expect them to be plump and juicy, it is the Maritimes!

So I sent them back, a few minutes later the server joyfully returned with a fresh plate, and said these were cooked better. I don’t know by who’s standard? Anyway we d been there almost an hour I was hungry so I ate them. I then asked for a piece of bread to dip in the sauce ( the only good part of the dish) and was informed I’d have to purchase it. I almost died laughing.

In short my experience at the Mill Stone Public House was Mediocre at best. The seasonal special lemonade was good. Our server was good, although we weren’t offered any specials and I don’t know if they have any. But sadly I won’t return.
