    My sons and their partners and I decided to have Thanksgiving dinner at Millwright and it was overall a very good experience. We had a 5:30 reservation though we were not seated til 6 (which was a bit ironic since they had called me the day before to indicate that we had to be there on time and they would only hold the table for 10 minutes), however, they made up for it by offering a half off bottle of wine, which was quite generous. The prix fixe dinner was excellent, being Thanksgiving, most of us opted for the turkey, which was great, especially the confit. I loved the smoked salmon mousse, it was a nice creative touch. All else got the more conventional first courses, as is their wont, and they enjoyed them. The sides were delicious, the service impeccable and the atmosphere lovely. Rather expensive for a turkey dinner, but it is a vibe. So I would do it again, I am a semi-regular visitor to the Tavern, my favorite part of the restaurant.

    The food and the service at J.Gilbert are always excellent. It is a reliable choice for a very pleasant evening out. My only criticism is that the decor is a bit dated; it could do with some freshening up.

    The food and the service were very good and the prices very reasonable. The only issue is, it can be very loud at times.
