Tinhorn Restaurant

  • August 20, 2001
  • Rated 4 of 5 by zabelle from Portland, Connecticut
We were starving by the time we arrived in Millbrook after our wine tasting. We were seated right away and our drink orders were taken. We only had one menu because they have daily specials but as soon as another group finished with them they brought us 3 more.

The bread basket had lots of crispy sourdough bread and a crock of butter. One thing they need to add however is bread plates, we had crumbs everywhere.

They offer a $15, 3 course lunch special and 2 of us opted to have it. It had a soup, entree and dessert. For soup we had a choice of vichyssois or chilled melon with reisling. I had the melon and it was unusual. It had no dairy and was the slightest bit lumpy, in a good way. It was very enjoyable on a warm day. The vichyssois had spinich in it which made it green and less appealing visually but just as tasty. Our main course was grilled salmon which was sushi grade and quite rare. I was afraid that I wouldn't like it but I was wrong, it was delicious and had a wonderful texture. It was served with grilled veggies, which were very good. Jim had a seafood stew which he said was good, it was spicy and looked to me like the fish stew they serve in San Francisco. Al had a very large burger and homemade potato chips. The only problem was that it was way over cooked.

The building was very atmospheric and they had the cleanest, prettiest bathroom I have ever seen. Our server Kari was friendly and checked back with us on a regular basis.

Our dessert was nectarine crisp which was exactly what it sounds like, fresh nectarines with a crispy sweet crust and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Jim tried the pecan pie with chocolate bourbon ice cream and raved about it and the homemade crust.

This is a sweet little restaurant with great potential and very few rough edges.
