Mill City Chophouse and Bar — Restaurant in Black Hawk

My boyfriend surprised me with a beautiful weekend getaway. I had no idea, but it was all because he was planning a beautiful proposal. Everything was perfect! Minus this beyond horrible experience at the mill city chophouse. We started with the Valentine special "rockefeller oysters". That was almost amusing. It was as if the cook had no clue what rockefeller oysters even were. After returning that, we got our French onion soup. Sadly it was the best thing we had that entire meal. Then they brought out our "steaks". These were supposed to be fillets.....oh and they were 40$ each. My fiance ordered his rare but it came out well done. The color on them was that of a soft brown, you know when they sit in the fridge to long. The smell and taste was unbearable. If we wanted food poisoning we probably could of pushed through it!! If I could give this zero stars I would. Oh....and we still payed for the...

I'm only giving 4 stars because we had to drive here from IL to be able to talk to a live person about our plans to have my daughter's wedding reception here in June. We had been calling since early Feb, leaving numerous messages on the automated system, with no return calls.

Once here, we were very impressed with everything. We decided to sample the food while here & it was wonderful. We were presented with warm fresh baked oat & sunflower seed bread with two types of real butter; a plain & an herb. My daughter had the Sesame Encrusted Tuna appetizer; she said it was prepared perfectly. I had a bowl of Cream of Asparagus soup & the Chophouse salad; it was the perfect portion size for the price & very filling.

The staff was very pleasant & helpful with our planning, offering seating suggestions & menu options.

We are so excited to be having my daughter's reception...

Not to sure about reviews from a year ago and beyond come from, this Chophouse has only been open 3mos. Back to the review this Chophouse in Blackhawk, CO was excellent. The food was spot on and the service impeccable. Had the table side service which was as fresh as you can get. Charles and the rest of the staff were so nice and gracious for a birthday we had at the table. Complimentary champagne and appetizer before dinner. After dinner a complimentary cake w/fresh berries that was enough for the table, and pastries in a bag for later. The restaurant manager (Dan?) was so nice as well checked on the tables thru out, and arranged a tour of the suites in the hotel. I have recommended to friends and family this is the place to go when in Blackhawk. Definitly...
