Review of the Millside Cafe

After a long, stressful final week of the marking period, nothing could have been better than going out to eat and shop with a friend. Last Friday, Angela and I did just that for this months review: The Millside Cafe, a quaint restaurant nestled closely in between various antique shops and a steady stream. Parking was easy enough, as any senior driver would appreciate, and upon walking inside the ambiance was completely comforting. It was about 4:15 and it's closing time was 5 o'cloak, but the waitress kindly told us to choose a seat, not rushing us in any way to make a decision on what to have. After a few minutes, we both decided on ice tea and a turkey BLT wrap. Seated next to the window overlooking the stream, conversation easily flowed despite the fact that there was no other people except the waitress who was carefully cleaning the counter.

When the food arrived, we started eating right away because we were both extremely hungry, as usual after school. The wraps were wonderful: lettuce, bacon, and turkey covered by a tomato basil wrap. Undeniably delicious! Furthermore, there was two sides on the plate: a small salad and a scoop of pasta. Being the perfect size portions, each was a compliment to the wrap. Anyone in the mood for a filling, home-like meal would love the Millside.

But wait, there's more! Not only was the food delicious and service stellar, the decor was cozy and artsy. On the walls were paintings by local artists, hung from the ceiling were baskets of different sizes, and in a hutch near the entrance were books and catalogues for the single diners to peruse through. The floor complimented the atmosphere in its antique-y finish.

TO BE CONTINUED... REEEALLY LONG DAY AT UCONN:)

Ok- I'm back:)

So, the basic feel of this unique cafe was extremely comfortable- you could wear whatever you are most comfortable in because no one will judge and it is obviously low key once you peek inside. I would recommend sweats, but if you happen to be a jeans person that would be just fine. Bring friend(s) and or family, although this is most likely a restaurant that girls would like in particular. Mothers Day must be very busy here, even though that is months away it's never to early to start thinking.:) Any day that you're in the mood for a relaxing meal in a restaurant that feels so comfortable it could be your own kitchen, the Millside Cafe is the place to go!

ps- if you do go to any of the restaurants Angela and I write about, please leave your comments about them as we would love to hear:)
