Whether for a romantic evening, special celebration or business dinner, Mills Tavern offers that perfect match: fine dining in a unique urban setting at the foot of historic College Hill.  An impressive menu combines local and seasonal ingredients in innovative and exciting new ways; the fruits and vegetables are harvested from area farms, the chops and steaks – including the region’s most expansive offering of Japanese and Australian Wagyu – are cut daily, and the seafood is always fresh.
