We are happy to announce that we will be opening our doors to you this Friday June 5th at 11:30am.  This is a big day for all of us and we are busy preparing for your arrival.  We have repainted our walls, put new flooring in, done some fun redecorating, added new lighting, spruced up our patio and, of course, sanitized and cleaned absolutely every square inch of our restaurants.

New protocols will be in place to keep you safe but the same good times will be had at the Millstone Public House.  We hope to see you in person in the coming weeks and months but understand that everyone will have their own decisions to make as to when and where and how they gather out in public again.  For this reason we will continue to offer our contact free curb side pick up for take out at both locations.

As you know, we are limited to seating only 50% of our space and will keep tables 6 feet apart.  We are taking reservations and asking guests to arrive all together as a group promptly at your designated time.   Groups must be no larger than 10.   Walk in guests are also welcome.  When you arrive you will be asked for your name and table size.  If a table is not ready for you at that time you will be asked to wait outside or in your car and we will call you when your table is ready.  Hand sanitizing stations will be available to you upon arrival.

To make a reservation please email us and we will call you back to confirm.  We are closed until Friday and won’t be able to get back to you until Thursday when our staff will be on site.  Thank you for your understanding and support.

We have also ceased our Grocery service so that we can focus on dine in and take out operations.  To clear out our shelves and make way for menu items we were able to donate over 300kg of food to Feed Nova Scotia!  This would not have been possible without your support.

We are a family business, locally owned and operated.  Being part of this community is important to us and we want to take this time to thank you for each and every phone call, email , kind word, social media share, gift card purchase and order that came in from you during this challenging time.  As we congratulate the staff who pushed through some very tough times and move towards hiring back the staff we laid off it feels like bringing our family together again. We have arrived at this day because of you and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Shine one.  Stay safe. See you soon.

Sincerely,

Adam, Joanne, Wilson, Tristan and all our incredible staff.

Our Mexican Feast went so well this week we sold out of our Cheese Dip and Bags of Tortilla Chips!  Thank you to everyone who joined in on the Fiesta.  To keep the party going we changed the special to have a delicious pair of Pulled Pork and Chorizo Sausage Quesadillas as an appetizer before the main meal.  The Enchiladas have been so popular that we may be adding them to our full menu…stay tuned.

To order up a Mexican Feast for tonight (Sunday is the last day for the special), or any meals from our regular menu, there are a few ways to reach us:

Before 2pm send us an email.
After 2pm give us a call.

Pay over the phone.  Pull up to the curb.  We will bring your food out to you.  So easy.

We are CLOSED Monday and Tuesday and will also be CLOSED this Wednesday and Thursday in order to prepare to OPEN our doors to the public on Friday at 11:30am.

We will be limited to 50% capacity and tables will be spaced out to allow for social distancing.   Dishes will be cleared and placed in bleach water before they are handled by the dishwasher.  Servers will be required to wash their hands after clearing all items from each table. There is a lot to do from sanitizing and making safety plans to training staff and installing Plexiglas barriers.  It’s going to look a little different but we will do our best to make you feel at home as much as you always have at the Millstone.

Contact free Curb side pick up and trunk drop will continue but we will not be offering delivery after today.  Also, our grocery service will be reduced.  If you’d like to make a reservation for dine in service, please call the pub.  Our plan is to take bookings for about half of our tables and allow the other half to be available for walk ins.

We want to sincerely thank you for your incredible support over the past few months!  Here we go again…

Sincerely,
The Millstone Team.

Then you can choose TWO of the following main courses.

• Nacho Crusted Haddock and Mexican Rice served with Sour Cream and Salsa
• Chicken or Black Bean Enchiladas with sautéed onions, jalapeños, red peppers and cheese served with Mexican Rice, Sour Cream and Salsa.
• Grilled Chicken Taco Salad with cheese, crumbled corn chips and a salsa dressing.

And finally, add a beverage of your choice.  What will it be??

• 1 Litre Bottle of Italian Red or White wine
• 4 Coronas!
• 6 Coors Light or Taller Light

All this for $50.00.  It is a great value and you deserve it.  We are incredibly grateful to all our customers for keeping us going through all of this.  Time to raise a glass to better days ahead!

Following the success of this weekend’s Mother’s Day special, we have decided to run another one. This special will be available Wednesday May 13th through Sunday May 17th while supplies last.

For $50 you will receive an order of crispy deep fried pulled pork wontons, plus your choice of any TWO mains listed and your choice of beverage.  Will it be two burgers or two pastas?  Or a burger and a pasta?  Red, White or Beer?

The wontons may be on our new menu so we are trying them out.  They are made in house and deep fried.  Very tasty.  The Double Bacon burger has Canadian Peameal Bacon as well as regular bacon to meet all your bacon needs.  The Meat Lovers baked penne will have pepperoni, chorizo sausage and ground beef

To order, you can reach us by email or phone.  Email orders received before 2:00pm daily will be accommodated first.  After 2:00 phone orders will be taken as quickly as we are able.  Phone lines get a little jammed Friday and Saturday from 5:00 – 7:00 so try to call before then. All roads lead to Rome as they say…we will do our best to get you what you’re looking for.

Also, if you are looking to stock your wine rack and beer fridge for the weekend, why stand in the lines at the NSLC?  We are able to include beer and wine with your take out order!

The rules state that your liquor order must be no more than three times the value of your take out order.  Our prices are pretty comparable to the store but we will drop it in your trunk or bring it to your home.  Add a bottle of hand sanitizer too if you like.

No lines, no waiting, no stress.

If you are looking to stock your wine rack and beer fridge for the weekend, why stand in the lines at the NSLC?  We are able to include beer and wine with your take out order!

The rules state that your liquor order must be no more than three times the value of your take out order.  So, grab an order of chicken wings, a few burgers and a dessert then load up with $150 worth of wine and beer.  Our prices are pretty comparable to the store but we will drop it in your trunk or bring it to your home.

No lines, no waiting, no stress.

This weekend we are offering a delicious Apple Crisp for $9.00.  Big enough to serve up to 4 people.  Take it home and reheat in the oven for maximum satisfaction. The cheesecake this week is Salted Caramel Brownie with an Oreo crumb base.  Wowza.

Also, noting the lack of hand sanitizer available in the stores, we have received a shipment from Compass Distillers and can now sell 120ml bottles of locally made hand sanitizer with your take out and delivery orders.  $5 each.  Grab a few for your car, home and purse.

We can also add things like milk, bread, bacon, ground beef, frozen chicken fingers, flour, pasta, potato chips, orange juice, eggs, frozen burger patties, burger buns and even toilet paper to your order.  Just ask your server when you’re on the phone.

To order give us a call or send us an email. Thank you!

We sure do miss the hum of a busy restaurant and the clinking of glasses on a Friday night.  To prepare for our re-opening we are giving ourselves a fresh coat of paint, replacing some well worn flooring, polishing our kitchens and working on a few new menu items to welcome you back.

Take care.  Stay safe.  Love your mom.  Enjoy some good food.

All the best,

Once again we have worked hard to put together a few bags of groceries that will help our valuable customers.  This week, we have proudly worked with a few local businesses.  The hand sanitizer comes from Compass Distillers and the fresh loaf of bread from 24 Carrots Bakery.  Supporting local is as important to us as it is to you

DartmouthMillstone@gmail.com    or

In a market populated with large and increasingly ornamental tap handles, the Unfiltered ones are easy to miss.  Unless of course you are a fan and then you know what to look for.  In a way the small, sleek, stainless steel pulls are a nod to the way the beer is made.  Totally without pomp or additives.

When I had the chance to tour the Unfiltered Brewery and speak with brewmaster Greg Nash, I asked him why he chose such a diminutive nub.  His reply, like his beer, was straight forward and with no BS. “For me, it’s not about anything but the beer.  It’s got to taste great.  No fluff.  No smoke and mirrors.”

Made of just four basic ingredients, Water, Barley, Hops and Yeast, the beer is live and, as the name would suggest, unfiltered.  This gives it a noticeably cloudy appearance but there are a few reasons to leave it “LIVE”, which is what beer is called before it gets filtered.  It turns out brewers yeast is one of the richest natural sources of Vitamin B complex.  Beer that has not been filtered is loaded with B vitamins.  Why does this matter you ask?  Well, it turns out B Vitamins are leached from your body when you drink alcohol and their departure contributes significantly to the depth of the next day’s hangover.  Drinking beer full of B Vitamins could both cause and cure that hangover in one delicious gulp.  Secondly, Live beer is more flavourful, has a stronger body and is higher in mineral content.  This richness allows the beer to taste great all on its own.  As Nash puts it, “The beer is au natural!”

“Everybody wants craft beer.  They want to eat and drink locally.  They want to know what they are putting in their body,” Nash explains. “It’s the way the world is going..slowly but surely.  For us it’s about the beer.  Making great beer from natural ingredients and doing what we do well.  From the Grain to the Glass it’s three weeks.”

We have cans of Exile on North Street available for take out and delivery with meals.  Grab a few and enjoy a glass of some great local craft brew.

We are taking orders for the Grocery Bag Service this week.  If you are interested in grabbing one of these pre-packed grocery bags for $100 please send your Name and Phone number in an email with GROCERY ORDER in the subject line to the restaurant closest to you.
