Restaurant Review

The Inn at Millrace Pond is a lovely romantic restaurant located in a bed and breakfast converted from a Moravian village gristmill, circa 1770.

The new menu however, has been experiencing a downfall in the quality of food and preparation to where it now is considered below par when compared to other fine dining restaurants in the area.

The decor has a historic country feeling with a large stone wall, exposed posts and beams, and candlelit tables. Check out the tavern in the basement it is charming with a large walk-in fireplace, grain chute, and trimmings and memorabilia covering the tavern's history as a working mill. There is also a huge wine cellar located adjacent to the tavern.

This is an ideal place for couples looking to get away for a weekend to a romantic bed & Breakfast without having to venture away for fine dining.

At the outset, your waiter will greet you with a basket of very tasty fresh made multi-grain bread rolls, served warm.

For starters, try the Crab Cakes & Smoked Trout Cake with sauces of mango, basil & citrus; or the Gorgonzola & Dried Fruit Stuffed Quail with wilted kale & lemon brown butter.

For entrees, try the Pork Osso Bucco with mascarpone polenta triangles; or the Rib Eye Steak with black pepper butter & baked potato melange. The Lamb Leg Steak with huckleberry mint risotto is not recommended, the lamb is not at all tender.

The Inn also offers an extensive wine list with over 90 bottles and 15 wines by the glass.

They are open for Holidays and are child friendly with a children's menu.

While the service is very friendly and attentive, they can use a bit more polishing up.
