Mill House Kitchen + Bar — Restaurant in Columbus

The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous! The decor, the old mill vibe, the views, it's all top level. We were surprised on a Saturday night at peak dinner time that it was empty, only 1 table was occupied. Come to find out, a more sterile section in the back is where two other tables were seated! Seemed like it was for over flow but sadly it's where we were seated, tucked away from the mill vibe and tucked away from the old wood. Perfect section for folks with kids but we were three adults! We thought maybe the front section tables were reserved but the entire time we were there only 3 tables were seated in the front area. Then sadly, service was slow, basic and methodical but somehow it made sense, we were the furthest you could get from everything! Now, it was all resting on the food! The pork belly was amazing, rendered perfectly, soft and melt in your mouth! The fresh fried pork rinds crackled the entire time, were nice and warm and loved by all! The teeny tiny spoonful of dip was very good, just miniscule considering the portion of rinds. Our server never returned to ask for a bit more until our meals were delivered so we enjoyed them plain.

Super attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. But I was pretty disappointed in my steak, and I’m not one to say anything when Melana asked how everything was - which is why I’m not obliterating this review. But the ribeye was very thin and lacking seasoning. My husband had the prime rib - which like Melana mentioned had a very smoky flavor which he likes! But I don’t, so I’m glad she mentioned that lol. The lava cake dessert was amazing. I will be back, but to try something else other...

We were seated as soon as we arrived for our reservation. Daje seated us and she was our server as well. She is the nicest, most personable server you could ever hope for. We had great conversations about where we were from and our families etc. She was extremely knowledgeable with the food and beverages. The food was outstanding. From the 4 appetizers, the smoked prime rib, ribeye steak, Cajun pasta and catfish dinner. Fresh, perfectly seasoned super portions and served by the best.. Daje. Thank you for making it an amazing experience. Because of you, we'll be back in November. Hope to...
