Miller and Carter Steakhouse in Milton Keynes

I will start with the positives which were the staff, who were lovely eg friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The interior design was nice and the place appeared to be clean and well maintained. The wine glasses were good quality. Unfortunately, what lets this place down is the food. The quality of the ingredients was clearly cheap and the general taste was just meh. I had a burger…which I would say was fairly unpleasant and my fellow diners had steak, and although they requested medium rare, it was more well done. Did we complain? No. Pointless as this is obviously the level of cooking ability they have, but we just won’t be back.

Really really enjoyed our lunch here. I thought it was good value at £20 for 3 courses. We loved the calamari and steaks. I enjoyed the sorbet but my Dad said the caramel profiteroles were too sweet. The service was great and I can’t wait to come back!!

Customer service was good. We were met promptly, shown to our table, Kyle was helpful and prompt and all other staff were pleasant enough. The food was underwhelming and overpriced. Nearly £200 for a family of 4 is expensive and we didn’t even have 3 courses! We all had calamari to start and it was very plain. The sauce helped slightly, but even that was not very flavourful. My son had a burger and the patty was overpowered with onion. My wife and I shared a butchers block. The ribeye was stringy and full of fat. The rump and fillet were nice but for a steak specialist location we expected a lot more. The chip portion was disappointing. Overall, ok but I doubt we’ll return any time soon as it’s too expensive for average food.

amazing service from kyle. so friendly. food was amazing, steak was perfectly cooked and juicy! and we will definitely be coming back again! thank you

Another visit to a different Miller and Carter and the same result, amazing food, super friendly staff and a thoroughly enjoyable evening had. The Butcher's block was soo tasty with a good variety of meat just right for two. Will definitely be back, back again and as always an excellent steak cooked perfect and amazing service.

The ONLY positive was the waitress Deborah. Wine was expensive but was poor quality, the Rioja. The food was bland. We had the scallops side order, cooked well, but no flavour. It was only when I got the bill that I saw that they were meant to be garlic scallops. I think the garlic may have waved at them from across the kitchen.

We visited on a busy friday night, and despite the pace of the evening we found the staff friendly and attentive. A bit of a wait for the food which was understandable, but everything was spot on for us. Beautiful steaks, sauces and sides! One tricky karen with absolutely no hint of public grace or decorum made a scene at the hardworking chefs, but we felt they had a brilliant team front and back of house. We thanked everyone specially, with enthusiastic ringing of the bell, which was humbly appreciated. Great effort from a brilliant team, fantastic evening. Special thanks to Simon for being a good laugh the whole time! And creme brulée was top notch!

Excellent fillet steak and all the trimmings as always

Had to wait for a long time for our food. When it arrived it was tasty but not worth the wait

Shocking service. Overworked staff who where stressed and struggled to keep up with orders. Food sent back from other customers. Never again

I took my girlfriend for dinner and she ordered an burger the burger had a afro hair in the burger! The food was remade and brought out to find another afro hair was in the food it put us off massively

service was fantastic (Kyle) and all the food was incredible (especially the fillet steak - best steak i’ve ever had!)

Our server Abhi was very good attentive but not overpowering and our meal and drinks were perfect we were celebrating our two year anniversary and our night was great would highly recommend to anyone!!! Thank you Miller and Carter!

The lady who severed us the best she could , but the place was cold everyone had there jackets on the steak arrived perfect but every that wen with it all cold , and I would say it wasn't because the heating it was cold because it must been siting there along time before the steak was cooked , the beer tasted flat so it was lucky enough there was bottle beer to replace that

We came here for anniversary Our server Richard at the xscape Milton Keynes branch was brilliant, he was happy, bubbly 5 stars to him for his customer service. We wasn’t rushed he made us welcome. Food was amazing drinks were amazing just love this place.

Came to Miller & Carter for my birthday meal. From the get go Dave was incredible, just the right amount of attentive to ensure everything was okay but also allow us to enjoy our food! He helping out going the extra mile to sort some things out which was greatly appreciated and would recommend it to anyone!

Poor quality food undercooked and fatty

Had a lovely time today at Miller and Carter ! Credit to Abhi who was extremely accommodating, professional and really knowledgeable about the menu when we had queries on our choices as well as making sure we were all good with our food and drinks throughout are time dining in . He really made our experience a great one dining in and we really appreciated his service . The food was very fresh and exactly how we wanted everything from starters, mains and dessert it was all to a high and wonderful standard . Myself and my husband had a wonderful time and look forward to returning back .

No matter how delicious the food is, I put 1 star every time. The big "lady" at the reception is an absolutely disgusting, cynical, unmannered woman ,my friends were shocked by her service, bypass this restaurant by the 10th side, there are places where exquisite food and the same service! And here it feels like I came to eat at her house for free! Disgust!!!!

At the entrance there was no one attending the reception, he was actually setting up tables and escorting one booking at the time to the next table he made available. When we sat down the waiter approached us quickly, he explained also the menu. Consider it is a steakhouse I was expecting a better selection of wines. The food took a while, we specifically asked for the kids menu to come as soon as ready, they put together with our mains taking ages to be ready. The steak was very average, we had the 50days dry aged selection and I couldn't feel any dry-aging flavour from the meat. It meant to be medium, I believe it was a slightly over towards the medium well. The waiter came to check back before we had the first bite and I asked him to come back later. At that point I realised his effort (I believe the team was struggling to keep up with the pace of the restaurant) and I didn't mention anything to don't drop his mood and motivation. But unfortunately we found it very average, especially one of the sauces, it was far away from chimichurri, we asked to have another one instead.

We came for our one year anniversary. Service was so nice, gentle, caring, the young lady was very kind & checked up on us often. Food came quickly, & so did drinks. Starters were great. The mains were good, had fillet steak, and my fiancé had the chicken burger. The deserts however were too sweet & sickly(Brownie & apple pie) We could barely eat them, and we asked to have them taken off since we barely ate them. The young waitress said she would have to ask her manager. The manager only took off my fiance’s brownie because she is pregnant, but not the apple pie because of “personal preference” Most likely not coming back. Disappointed because the previous times everything was perfect.

Whoever the front of desk or manager was on 13th September wasn’t professional. Making silly remarks or putting people in awkward positions ain’t funny . Definitely won’t be returning ever again

Went there for dinner we were greeted by so called manager.However I ordered fillet mignon medium rare and it came out overcooked. So called manager argumentative try to prove me wrong sarcastically trying to say if I don’t speak English he can explain to me on few others… Won’t come back or recommend

Like any Miller & Carter lovely food, nice atmosphere and layout

Busy place had to wait a while to be seated, the food was okay but can get better for the price. Our waiter Kieran was outstanding.

Great food always. Good menu especially the date night menu saves a bit of money but still more than normal restaurants but worth it for the quality of food served. Delicious

Delicious food, excellent service from all the team but Kyle was a superstar! First class experience as always.

Wonderful service, terrific food, great atmosphere! Would thoroughly recommend for a treat. We can't wait to return.

Nice Millers, good quality steak. Ample parking.

Food was exceptional as always but Tracey really made our experience 10 times better, couldn’t have asked for a more polite, chatty and all in all a lovely person to serve us

Father’s day lunch, the steaks were cooked exactly as ordered and the waitress was very friendly, we will definitely come back.

A massive thank you to Tracey for making this evening special one for the amazing service and for the warm smile and exceptional service

Great experience and service was spot on. Will be back !

My husband and I dined on July 26th to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary. We ordered the 28oz CÔTE DE BOEUF steak, which was cooked to perfection, truly the best we had in a long time. The customer service was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. We can't wait to return.

Miller and Carter was once a place you went to for a nice meal. It’s now just another harvester. The tables are sticky, the menus covered in food and the staff blunt and rude. The big give away is that it is no longer busy, I remember struggling to get a table at short notice. The steak was grey and poorly cooked, ending up with a plate full of liquid and a pitiful onion loaf. I don’t think the chain is for me anymore, they forgot what made the good.

Hi myself and my partner had a fantastic meal on Sunday evening after going to the Reggae festival and the service was great when browsing through my bank statement the next day I was charged £16 over what I paid at the restaurant that night I rang the restaurant that day and spoke to the manager he was very helpful and found that the waiter that served us that night so very kindly added it onto the bill himself has a service charge without saying anything which I already tipped him £5 in cash earlier so please be very careful what your paying for before you leave and check your bank statement after .

Went to Xscape to go cinema with son and daughter in law and called into Miller & Carter for a meal before the film and had an amazing time

Tried to dine here last night. Arrived at 21:30 only to be told very abruptly by the waitress/manager? “We’re shut” despite opening time being listed here online as 23:00. Arrived at 20:00 this evening to try again. Lots of empty tables but told no space for two as they don’t have enough waiters according to the same rather nonchalant waitress/manager. Kind of a joke for a restaurant like this. Won’t be wasting a 3rd try on this place. Mostly due to the couldn’t care less attitude from this person on the door.

The service and food was amazing 10 out of 10

We recently came to Miller and Carter on a Friday evening. We were shocked on the service and quality; After waiting an hour 45 minutes, We were served cold food, the sauce for the steak had separated so you could tell it had been sat for a long time. We was offered no discount or any compensation, Spent over £100 on two cold fillets, starters and drinks. Me and my partner were very disappointed to say the least, As a result; We will not be returning! I would rather spend more money at KOBE Steak House, and be presented with something worth paying for.

Went here for date night and it was just perfect. Staff made it feel like it was a super special occasion. David went all out and made us feel so welcome. Food was amazing. Would definitely come back again just for that steak

Food - I had prawn cocktail to start. Can't go wrong with prawn cocktail but for a restaurant of this calibre, I expected better quality prawns than the supermarket special version I got. Tasteless and tiny. I ordered sirloin steak, medium rare. When it came, I did query whether it was a sirloin, it was a weird shape, thick at one end, tapering to thin at the other, with no fat on the edge. And it was cooked medium in my opinion, see photo. My partner's burger was very overseasoned ( too peppery) and the side of sautéed greens we ordered were luke warm and raw, not even "al dente". Service was ok, our waiter was fab, friendly and smiley but it seemed orders were going all over the place rather than the correct tables. I think they had an "off night", never had a problem there previously, and our bill was amended to take account of dissatisfaction.

We arrived earlier than expected and the staff were really helpful in accommodating us. Service was brilliant. Food was amazing. This was the first time my daughter and I had been to a Miller and Carter restaurant and we loved it. We will definitely be back .

Food was amazing, service was slow and the expectancy to get an automatic tip for poor service.......

Faultless food. And brilliant service from Dave throughout the night.

Came here for mine and my boyfriend’s 4 year anniversary today. We had an amazing time the food was incredible but most of all our waiter Richard was absolutely amazing, he made us feel so welcome and comfortable. To add to the incredible experience at the end of the meal he came out with a plate writing happy anniversary for us completely by surprise. I cannot begin to thank him enough for the amazing experience he created for us. I highly recommend coming here to anyone and will definitely be visiting again.

Our meal was wonderful. Plenty to eat. Only criticism is that the food could have been a bit hotter but was amazing. Staff very informative & accommodating.

Food wasn’t cooked as I requested and the service was horrible will not be visiting again! Was sat next to a bunch of men in tracksuits shouting and swearing and the waitress clearly had an issue with my skin colour by the service i was given compared to others.

Great food, cooked perfectly 👌🏼

Was relatively quiet for a Sunday evening however, food was cooked perfectly! All steakhouses usually ask how you’d like your steak cooked but it’s not often they get it right. Definitely not the case here at Miller & Carter MK Xscape. Absolutely brilliant food, service was excellent and all round lovely experience. We rang the bell on the way out which indicates a very happy customer! Lastly, for what it’s worth….our hotel at MK Dons has a well known and famous steakhouse within it so is literally a hundred yards from our room! Been there a number of times and was not impressed at all. So despite having to taxi back and forth to Miller & Carter from the hotel, it’s definitely a much much better option!

What a lovely experience, all of the staff were so friendly,Tracey being our table server. Great food,great wine. Can't praise it enough.

Great service! All staff were kind & friendly. We had a few issues with my p main meal as I am pregnant and needed adaptions to how the steak needed to be cooked. We had to send it back twice but the staff were very understanding of the situation. Offered myself and my husband free desserts and took my main off the bill! Will 100% be visiting again

Amazing food. Had the meat platter for two. Highly recommend .Dave our server was amazing. So friendly, he made our night.

Served by Kyle tonight, he created such a lovely atmosphere for myself and my partner. Funny, interactive and darting about to make sure he looked after all of his guests. He really made the evening special and is a credit to the team at Miller and Carter. He's a keeper!

A fantastic visit again, the food was delicious, the cocktails were amazing, Dave the server was excellent, friendly, came to check up on us and made sure we had our food and bill in good time to go to the theatre.

Popped in for quick lunch. Asked for medium steak, arrived medium well/well done. When manager came over to my table his first comment was “that’s medium” and he began arguing with me. He took my plate away and I heard him go to kitchen and dress down the chef who cooked it as it was way over done…. So he was just attempting to argue for the sake of it? It was very clear that my steak was over cooked. Even my waitress agreed. Rude rude manager, never going back again *edit based on OWNERS RESPONSE* You can see by that response the general attitude of manager there. I never stated WHEN I went in for lunch. I went in for lunch on FRIDAY, please see receipt attached of the glass of wine I paid for. But your attitude is what’s most shocking. Completely dismissive at a genuine complaint just like the concerns were immediately dismissed when I raised them in the restaurant. You never asked to email or call for further information. Just “no waitresses this day, ur review must be fake” what a disgusting attitude to have towards your customers. I thought this was a high end establishment. I guess not.

Miller & Carter are praised for their expertly cooked steaks, with many customers highlighting the tenderness and flavor of the meat. Their aging process and butchery skills are often commended.The overall dining experience, including the ambiance and service, is frequently highlighted as a positive aspect, adding to the enjoyment of the meal. I will recommend the restaurant and the gentleman who served us today was Dave, I will give a 9/10 for the professional serving.

We visited this M & C at lunchtime on a Wednesday and found it pleasantly full of customers, I hate eating somewhere that we are the only diners. Our waiter was Dave and he was very friendly and cooperative in explaining the menu and made a couple of good suggestions re our choices. We were going to order off the full menu but there was enough choice on the lunchtime special menu to suit us, we both had Calamari to start and that was lovely and plenty of it. For mains, my wife had the 5oz fillet and I had the steak burger, both with chips. Both meals were brilliant. My wife's a fussy steak person and hers was beautiful and tasty, my burger was tasty and huge, we both had chips that were possibly the best I've eaten anywhere, soft inside but a crunch on the outside. Amazing for me but I had no room for a sweet! All in all, a great meal and will definitely be there again soon.

Walked into ask a question about a reservation. Lady who seemed group was a but rude. Shame didn't even get to food. Amazing was a smile can do.

A spontaneous meal out. On our request for a table, we were immediately found a table. Our order was taken by Matteo, who was friendly and helpful. The steak was delicious, perfectly cooked. Portion size was magnificent! Even my husband couldn't eat everything! Unfortunately we were in a rush, so didn't have a dessert but definitely will be back. Thank you.

What a great meal and excellent service we had . Our waiter was Dave milton keynes branch he was top class 10/10 service was on point very friendly happy going down to earth person . Great experience

Dave was great, amazing service, friendly and funny. give him a raise please as we will be back because of him for sure!!!

Nice place, kind employees, and good food. Recommended

Dave was excellent and very professional with great knowledge of the cuisine. Had a great time and will definitely be returning

Kyle was very good. Very quick service and lovely food.

Miller & Carter never fail to disappoint. Great food. Great atmosphere. Brilliant service. Thank you.

great food, great service. don't remember the lads name but we tipped him for his great customer service

Dave was brilliant. Friendly, welcoming, good chat. Always made sure our drinks were topped up. Checked our food was all good. Sorted something out for my girlfriends birthday aswell. 5*

Matter, our server, was excellent the whole night. Friendly but not overbearing, highly recommend

Love the staff here all wonderful Kyle / Richard / Dave friendly and knowledgeable place has a great vibe amazing I really wish there was one in Norfolk so I don’t have to travel 2 hours to visit my fav restaurant

Service was brilliant - thank you Kyle!

Delicious food delivered with a friendly smile

This restaurant is the best one there is for steak enthusiast. I sincerely believe they server the best steaks in Milton Keynes. And all the side side dishes they server the meat with: the fried onions, the range of sauces, the different options for potatotes (chips, thick cut, mash potatoe and more)... Are absolutely out of this world. Speciall mention to Dave, one of the best waiters I've ever seen. Not only does he provide an outstanding service, but you really feel he wants to take care of your meal and your whole experience. I can't recommned this restaurant enough!!!

Went there to treat our grandson for his 11th birthday. Had a great time and provided with with really excellent service and thoroughly enjoyed our meal

5 stars all the way. We had exceptional food & impeccable service.

Fantastic staff, great food, excellent value for money!!!

Completely dead on a Sunday and service was not great.. staff talking at the bar not bothering to check customers.

Had a birthday meal here last week. The seats were filthy and some of the light fittings in the ceiling looked like they have been bodged up, however food was great and service excellent. Expensive for the standard of the restaurant.

Had a great first experience here. We were served by Kyle and he was super patient and helpful while us noobies navigated the menus. Food was cooked how we wanted it and full bellies all round.

Firstly the staff were friendly, helpful and excellent. The steaks were cooked perfectly (rare) and the drinks were good and reasonably priced.

Everything was spot on, table booked and reserved,seated at said time,food was fantastic as always, brilliant service

Great service, fab food, and an overall amazing meal out.

Slow service. Filet not rested. Sides cold. Have had good meals here avoid weekends and busy times and it can be good.

Was greeted for a table and asked for a booth for my family of 5. After ten minutes of waiting while looking at two empty booths we were ushered to a table instead. When we went to order the waiter Dave pulled out a tablet device with the menu for allergies for my daughter. When I stated that was cool he replied, what having an allergy is cool sarcastically. My whole family mentioned it inappropriate and disrespectful but I let it go. Then we finish the salads and Dave the waiter asks if we are done with are forks. Out of all five of us I didn’t feel like salads and only took one bite and was fine keeping my fork but Dave remarks, good to see some people actually use there forks to insinuate my etiquette was up to par in front of my family. My steak was medium but even my son commented that it look rare on certain parts. Overall everyone really enjoyed the food and it came out quickly. Female waiter we had was pleasant enough wish we had her instead. Last but not least a drunk guy was getting pummelled out the window right out the restaurant by some fake thugs and a brave customer dining ran out in the middle of his meal to break up the fight. Can’t say that’s the restaurants fault but you don’t want to be thinking about your car getting broke into while dining. I spent 200pounds on the meal and tipped 50 pounds because everyone is feeling the cost of living. But overall I would not recommend anyone dine at this particular miller and carter if they can’t get the fundamentals down to dining…. Respect and save the sarcasm for your buddies down at the pub.

Our server, Dave, was really personable and attentive. We ordered the Butcher's Block to share, and it was exceptional. Would definitely recommend!

Our server Abhi was great and the food was delicious. Would definitely visit again

Amazing lunch for a great price Dave made the whole experience, he was fab with us adults and the kids too! Exactly what you want when dining out!!

Came in after a long trip. Came in and was greeted by Dave who was absolutely fabulous. Very attentive, fast and hilarious to go with! The food was top notch and was great value for money. If we’re ever around here again we will definitely visit again

What a lovely lunch my partner and daughter just had at Miller and Carter. All cooked to perfection. Richard served us and was absolutely brilliant, so attentive and friendly

The food, music, service and drinks were all spot on. Our waiter Richard was very helpful and kind about options, dietary requirement etc. reccomend!

I’m not sure what happened last night, but when came in without a booking, we were turned away saying that the restaurant was fully booked. There were plenty of empty tables which we’d assumed were for incoming guests so left without a fuss. However, when we went online a couple of minutes later, we found that we could easily book a table for the current time (I went through the whole booking process and got a confirmation so definitely had space, but then I promptly cancelled as did not feel we’d be welcome there). I’m not sure why this excuse was given to us by the hostess but being untruthful is really poor form. I hope that their turning us away was nothing to do with any prejudice and was an excuse for some other reason. We ended up going to a lovely Turkish restaurant instead as did not feel welcome even if we were able to make a booking online.

Dave was fantastic he made the experience so pleasurable for my brother in laws 40th!

I Highly recommend this restaurant in MiltonKeynes very good food and Service, our waiter Dave is so friendly and helpful.

Good steaks, can get a bit loud weekend evenings, a bit on expensive side

We are a family of 8 . Celebrating a special birthday. Dave was our waiter and he was brilliant from start to finish. We had an assortment of the lunch time menu plus a couple of meals from the main menu. All the 8 meals came out at the same time . We had no complaints about any of the food. At the end of the meal a complimentary birthday cake was brought out, making the day complete. We will definitely be going back .

Came with my girlfriend for dinner as we are long distance and hadn’t seen her in a while. Richard was our server and he was so lovely, so patient as we took our time with ordering. Also made us laugh too and just created a super relaxed homely environment. Thanks Richard top Dawg !

Went for dinner with one of my friends for a catch-up. I was served by Richard and we was by far the best server I’ve had being here many times! didn’t rush us and also had a laugh and made us feel very welcome! Thank you Richard!! Please give Richard a pay rise :)
