The Milton Inn

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. We went for Christmas Eve dinner and they had a three course meal option. First course I chose a mushroom bisque to die for. I swear they are the master of soups, I've never not felt like I was eating the best soup I ever had. Second I chose the seared scallops which came out perfectly cooked. We had the sommelier recommend a good wine to pair. Finally a delicious dessert... I couldn't remember the name but I made sure I ate every last bit!The Milton Inn is always a great experience. Its decor and rooms give it a romantic feel and makes it the perfect space to celebrate.To top it off- the staff is extremely friendly. We had wonderful conversations with everyone from the bartenders before we were sat for dinner, to the host who kept checking in on us while we waited, to the servers who are professional and friendly.

I finally made it to The Milton Inn and the experience was exceptional. Chef Cindy Wolf has done it again and this time, in a converted farm house located in a rural area in Monkton, MD. The building itself is just stunning with multiple dining rooms, a bar area, and an outdoor patio. You get the sense that you could have a seat in any one of the rooms here and feel like you had the whole place to yourself. Each room is private, intimate, and beautifully decorated. It feels like an old school hunting lodge or something. The front dining room would make for a lovely place for a private event or small rehearsal dinner. The food was absolutely delicious, as expected. We got so many appetizers including the steak tartare, the snails, salad, oysters, and foie gras. The steak tartare was made gluten free for me by serving the brioche topping and egg on the side. Even without the extra richness of the egg yolk, it was a delicious dish. The oysters were pretty good, the snails were exactly the same as those found at Petit Louis, and the foie gras was soo rich and melt-in-your-mouth good. For my entree, I opted for the steak and asked for mashed potatoes instead of fingerlings. However, I received fries which I didn't complain about because they were still good. In classic Cindy Wolf style, the steak is served drenched in herbed butter - just perfection. For dessert, we had scoops of the pistachio and vanilla ice cream which was pretty good. The dirty martini that the bartender, Jake, made was perfect. I am pretty picky about my martinis but he hit the nail on the head. We also enjoyed a bottle of wine which came highly recommended. It was very good but we were a bit surprised by the price once the bill came out - it was a $120 bottle. Yikes! We obviously should've asked about the price before taking the recommendation. So with all that said, this was a very expensive meal. Definitely not something we'd splurge on often but a nice treat to enjoy alongside our friends. If you plan to come here, I'd recommend it for a special ocassion. And if you're coming for a casual evening, grab a seat at the bar and stick to the basics on the menu. Since the menu is very well rounded, you could easily spend $50 here or $500.

My husband and I had dinner at the Milton Inn last night after a concert in Monkton. The restaurant is a 280+ year old fieldstone house that closed in 2020 after 70 years in business but was purchased and reopened by Foreman Wolf (one of the best restaurant groups in Baltimore). The building is absolutely gorgeous. The outdoor space looked beautiful, but we had a reservation for indoors, and the interior has been so well restored and maintained - tons of character. (FYI - the building is hundreds of years old and does have steps and different levels, but the staff were really great at pointing out the steps on the way to our table. Just pointing it out in case anyone in your party has mobility issues.)The food, wine, and service were everything I've come to expect from a Foreman Wolf restaurant. The wine list was impressive; we had a nice bottle of Sancerre. We shared their gratineed raspberry point oysters (served with duck bacon and garlic and herb breadcrumbs), which were delicious, and a side Mesclun greens salad. I had the grilled swordfish Grenobloise (roasted sprouting cauliflower, brioche croutons, citrus, and caper brown butter), and my husband had the grilled venison leg (with aligot potatoes, badger flame beets, cipollini onions, and rosemary juniper sauce). The swordfish was great (very well cooked), and so was the venison (another great cook on the venison). We couldn't agree on desserts so we each got our own (citrus entremet for me, chocolate mousse for him). The entremet was a little dry for me but delicious, and my husband loved the mousse. The service and ambiance are top-notch. It's a really nice place, classic, traditional, and a little bit fancy (we were a little underdressed from our concert earlier in the day). Definitely a lovely restaurant for a special night out. I'd happily return.

The Milton Inn is classic elegant dining with all the trimmings. All the staff were attentive and genuinely helpful with wine recommendations and menu choices. The menu is French inspired. All our dishes were as beautiful as they were delicious.

Quaint country inn located north of Baltimore. Great gathering place for family for a Thanksgiving feast. Prix fixe menu with traditional menu options - turkey, ham, vegetarian option, filet add on and of course impeccable desserts. Servers are extraordinary.

Beautiful setting, excellent service and delicious meal with a few suggestions noted. The amazing burger would be so much better on a brioche bun than the dry potato bun we had last night. But the frites were great! The rockfish was served on a presentation of beautiful seasonal tomatoes that were squishy as in over ripe - not squishy because the heat of the fish cooked them.The salad portions are huge. All 4 of us ordered salads without knowing that a half portion could have been ordered off-menu. We were told after commenting on their large size. Lastly, although the menu has many highlights from Petit Louis, it is not entirely French bistro and it would have been enhanced by offering a crab cake. I was hoping for a slightly more Maryland flair. These are pretty nitpicky comments from huge Foreman-Wolf fans. Just a little input to make our meal perfect next time . Loved our wine.

We came back to the Milton Inn for Restaurant week. We sat upstairs which we never had before, and it was nice, although not as nice as the main dining room. We did the restaurant week menu which had a nice selection. The corn chowder was amazing! the cucumber salad was very good. Both the halibut and the venison entrées were very good. For dessert we both had the peach cobbler, which was also delicious. The service was very friendly, although we had to wait a very long time for cocktails and there were a couple times where they forgot things like silverware. All in all I think this place is close to five stars just not quite there.

One of my new fav spots for dinner! We stopped by to celebrate our 6 month wedding anniversary (life is short--celebrate often!!) and had a great evening. The ambiance is very cozy--it feels like you're having an intimate dinner in your rich French great aunt's home (but in the absolute best way). With beautiful artwork along the walls, a fireplace, and cozy corners--this is a great spot for a romantic evening. Service was friendly and knowledgeable! We also lucked out that we stopped in on Wednesday. Like Foreman Wolf's other restaurant, Cinghiale, The Milton Inn does "Wine Cellar Raid Wednesdays" where almost all bottles of wine are 50% off. It's a perfect way to splurge on a more expensive bottle than usual! The meal was fantastic. We had the onion soup gratinée, gnocchi, NY strip, and the apple pumpkin tart. They even brought dessert out with a little candle to help us celebrate! We also had a bottle of Pinot noir, and for dessert a glass of champagne and port wine. Everything was great and I am looking forward to our return already!

The Milton Inn is a 280 plus-year-old house located in Sparks Glencoe, Maryland. It is considered one of the Baltimore area and Maryland's most historic landmarks and truly has a menu to match the history. While they classify themselves as upscale American, the menu is inspired by French cuisine, where you will have amazing food and beverage selection, particularly the wine. The Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras and Steak Tartare are standouts of the appetizers and starters. They are prepared and plated elegantly and will more than satisfy discerning tongues. If you're coming with an appetite, consider getting their delicious Beef Wellington, which has delicious beef tenderloin and pastry to soak in all the juices. End with their delicious dessert menu including a rich creme brulee. The service here is amazing and you can't miss with their wine suggestions. Ambiance serves for a calm and elegant atmosphere that is great for dates, celebrations, or just a special night out!#french #upscale #maryland #baltimore
