Matt the Miller's Tavern — Restaurant in Washington Township

Sunday Brunch Buffet review. We made reservations for Fathers Day Sunday. There was no problem because we called weeks in advance. I wish they had told me during the call that the brunch price on a holiday(see pic) was more(about $9 more?). The buffet is in the elevated bar area. Over near the kids buffet(see pic) you could overhear the hostess telling walk-ins that they were booked for the day.

Our server told us about the offerings, and the non-included drinks. I felt the exclusion of coffee, tea, and soda was a bit thrifty. I'm not interested in your special coffee choices. Let someone else pay for those specialties. I do understand the additional charge for the Bloody Mary bar(see pic). Alcohol makes sense. Juice makes sense. She also let us know that the bread/toast offerings could be ordered through her at no charge.

You're looking at the standard breakfast buffet with some differences. Nice chafing dishes with hinged lids keep the food hot if others close it. No steam tables of small pans to wait to be re-filled. Common things are your omelette, waffle, and carving station. Peel & eat shrimp, and the dessert table(see pic). Scrambled eggs, potatoes, and bacon only(no sausage). Instead of a muffin/bagel/roll basket, you get a hot pan of large 4"X 5" iced cinnamon rolls(see pic).

The food tasted good, not moan out loud great. It is a buffet, so you must put aside the thoughts of other patrons germs. My common buffet cliche of "cold & old" does not apply here. Service was great. Buffet staff was friendly and accommodating. I did skip the carving station on my first trip because the ham and prime rib carving station was unattended.

This will not be a part of our breakfast rotation. Perhaps we will return, if in the area on a non-holiday Sunday. I think to get the trip I imagined, I should look towards a Hyatt or...

Went here for dinner with my wife. The service was good, although the waiter always gets deduction points when they call me "hun". I am not their hun! I'm trying to understand why some rave about this place. The food is not cheap and very average. Here is what me and my wife had:

Thai calamari appetizer: The calamari was OK, but there were more vegetables on the plate than there was calamari

Buffalo wings appetizer: They weren't bad, but weren't great either. A little bit on the dry side and not moist, but wings are wings and it's really hard to screw them up.

Caesar salad with Salmon entree: This is what my wife got. When they brought it out I could immediately tell that the salmon was dry and my wife confirmed it. Why is it so hard for most restaurants to make salmon moist? I was also very surprised by the salad part of this as the lettuce was not the good part with little green to it as if we got the very end of the romaine. Not good.

Rib eye sandwich with fries: The fries were very well cooked and good with a nice amount. The rib eye sandwich was another story. The meat was waaaay overcooked and not much of it on the bun. The sourdough bun though was excellent, but the "pub aoli" that they put on it was tasteless and I mean tasteless. Even plain mayo would have been better. Kind of embarrassing for a chef to title it as this and for it to be so bad.

As a whole a very average experience for MTM Tavern. As I said, not bad but not very good either. I always ask myself when I leave an establishment if I will go back for a specific dish that I had, and I didn't find myself nor did my wife talking about...

The atmospheres was okay but nothing exceptional. The service was good, our server Matt was attentive without being obnoxious. The appetizer chips were okay, except for the mammoth stack of onions on top, and the cheese cake for dessert was a pleasant surprise. However, that's where the good ends. About the food! My wife ordered a Matt Salad and sent it back after the first bite. The follow-up salad was the Miller Salad, it was better than the first but nothing to write home about. Adding to the dissatisfaction was that she ordered it without onion which it came out with. For dinner we ordered the Black and Blue Flatbread, without onions and the Filet mignon and a baked potato, also without onions. Are you catching an onion theme here? Unfortunately, nearly everything we ordered had some form of onion on it when it was delivered. Despite requesting them to be left off. Back to the food, the flatbread was an odd combination of flavors that didn't quite do it for us. The steak was prepared well but overpowered by a cacophony of flavors all fighting for dominance. Additionally, it seemed like it sat for too long. The flatbread was soggy and the food was room temperature. As for the filet and baked potato, the potato was rubbery and lacking butter. I requested some from the server who delivered the entree but she never returned. The filet itself was prepared well however gorgonzola crumbles were more like boulders and served with, yet again, onions.

In summary, this may have been great if you love onions, or if they would had gotten the order correct, but for the price we paid, it...
