Editorial Review for Milton Inn – by Karen S. Nitkin
The Scene
Just past the shopping centers on York Road, this 1740 inn exudes understated hunt-club style: fireplaces crackle in the cozy rooms; horse prints and paintings bedeck beige-striped walls. In keeping with the decor, patrons dress up and special occasions are treated with respect. One couple is greeted with a warm "happy anniversary"; another's pie arrives with a blazing birthday candle. But don't expect the servers to break into a raucous rendition of "happy birthday." This place is much too sophisticated.
The Food
Red meat and seafood are the stars of a menu that is rustic without being rough-hewn. Pan-seared tuna arrives with a savory red pepper risotto and spears of just-tender asparagus. The cooked-to-order filet mignon is juicily tender, while oysters with a crab imperial topping prove a luscious treat. Presentation is important--from the perfect circle of green aioli around the tuna to the careful arrangement of shrimp, mussels, lobster and crab in a martini glass.

We've dined at the Milton Inn on three occasions. Each time we have had a fantastic meal, from start to finish. The restaurant is in an old farm house, so the dining rooms are separate and intimate and hold only a few tables. Each room has it's own unique character. The back dining room by the fireplace is an excellent choice for a cold winter evening. The front dining room (the blue room) can tend to be a little drafty, so ask not to be seated in this room. The wine list is fabulous, and the prices seem to be fairly marked however, they do not have every bottle on the list so don't get your heart set on only one particular bottle. Additionally, they offer a nice bottled beer selection but do not have any draught beer. It would be a nice touch for those beer snobs (ie a nice belgium on tap, etc) They make simple cocktails, but nothing extravagant. The specials also sell out quickly, so order them fast and first. The cream of crab soup is one of the best around, the touch of sherry makes it nearly perfect. The mussels are also a great starter dish, as is the foie gras. The duck, steak, pasta and phyllo dinners are all delcious. All around, this is a great winter dining spot or for that special occasion.

My husband took me to The Milton Inn to propose. I had no idea of course, but what a wonderful restaurant. The food is wonderful, the service is great. If looking for a romantic dining experience, The Milton Inn is the place to go. My husband and I will be married 13 years this year, and we will be dining at The Milton Inn to celebrate.
