We went there Saturday night around 8:00 PM and it was great. The upper level dining area was opened up into the bar area and there were a fair number of diners finishing up and the bar was full. We were seated in the main dining area below, which was nice and quiet, but not a lot of diners left in that area at that time. I started off with the Tuna appeteizer and it was as incredible as I remember it. This is one of my favorites to order anywhere, but it is particularly good at 51 Mill Street. I then had the Filet Tourenados (sp?), medium rare and my wife had the shrimp and scollops served over angel hair pasta. The filet was great, perfect level of doneness (not really a word), which is something I am particularly concerned about when ordering any kind of steak out. I cook a very good steak and as a result do not order it in restaurants often because I am often dissapointed. But not Saturday night, this was perfect. The potatoes, green beans and mushroom and garlic sauce served with the steak were very good (although for my wife's sake I could have eaten fewer of the garlic cloves). My wife found her scallops and shrimp to be just as good. We indulged and had carrot cake for dessert, which also was very good - - a lot of texture and flavor topped off with a near perfect frosting. I hope this place is able to hang in there and I am sure we will be back again during the winter.

Oh, by the way, the DJ started up as we were finishing our meal and was going in full swing when we left. It was amusing, but not necessarily my style. Folks did seem to be enjoying themselves though. One last thing to be aware of is that at least that night the kitchen closed at 9:30 PM.
