Miller & Carter in St Albans

Mario was super friendly & the best server we’ve had the pleasure of having. Food was lovely and drinks were refreshing too!

Amazing, went for dinner with my brother, even when they been busy, food came in good time and service top as usual. Mario and Beata, thank you so much....we will be back

Mario was so friendly and showed such great service! This was a lovely way to spend an evening with my husband before Christmas and the food was delightful with great portions. The Festive Butcher’s Block was great value for money and we struggled to finish it, could definitely feed 3!

Mario has been the best host, so welcoming and knowledgeable. We had lovely food and wine yet again and was great to chat to Mario - what a great guy. Thankyou so much.

Great food. Perfect to order. Lucie was an incredibly bubbly and attentive server.

With my brother, we coming to St Albans brunch often, food is delicious and best service from Mario and Beata, friendly and professional, all what you looking for. Definitely coming back and highly recommended

Excellent food and ambience, our waiter Mario was extremely friendly and professional, went above and beyond.

Lucie was wonderful. Very customer orientated. Six stars!

Venue, food, and service were all good, as you can expect at any Miller & Carter. Our visit was let down by a very vocal male chef who could be heard across the restaurant, shouting from the semi-open kitchen at the other chef and a server. The argument was apparently about what allergens were in a particular dish. The confusion is difficult to understand given how careful M&C are, giving all guests an iPad to check allergens in all food/drink themselves. Regardless, it should be handled quietly between staff, not broadcast to the entire restaurant. The server apologised to guests for the chef's behaviour, but the manager ignored the whole situation and did not step in. When paying a premium price for a restaurant, you don't expect an aggressive argument to break out between staff.

First time visiting Miller & Carter, the venue was lovely and the steak was delicious. The service from Mario was excellent who really looked after us during our visit. An absolute pleasure, we’ll more than happily visit again.

Warm welcome, lovely ambience and fabulous service from Lucie. She was friendly, helpful and efficient and made our visit very special. The food was delicious too. Thank you!

Fantastic food and service as always. Beata, our waitress was amazing. Also, Mario, the manager, was very welcoming and kind. 10/10

Amazing food and fantastic service by Lucie tonight made for a very pleasant evening can't recommend enough!! -- Review by 2 very happy parents who have just come home and made me write this as they've both reviewed before!!

Waitress was very unhelpful to start off with as we were asking about specifics of menu items. Eventualky went to find help 🤦🏾‍♀️ Other than that. Great ambience and food in a good location with parking nearby.

The ribs were succulent and the meat fell off the bone.

Had a lovely meal at Miller & Carter, St Albans. We had a family group of 12 and had a lovely table upstairs with lots of space for us all (handy as we had 3 little children with us). All food and drink was served quickly and with a smile. Food was delicious and all steaks were cooked exactly as requested. Our waiter, Mario was so lovely and super helpful - Nothing was too much trouble and he even made time to interact with the children. Would definitely recommend for big groups and children.

Amazing food as always! Staff were so friendly and accommodating. It was very busy when we went for dinner on a Friday in December but this is to be expected and staff were efficient with taking orders and grabbing drinks. Great atmosphere and once again brilliant staff.

Walk in on a Sunday evening, our server Mario was brilliant, very attentive, friendly and professional. Received our food quickly and everything was great!

Had an evening meal with a friend. We both went for the 50 day aged fillet steaks and they were delicious with the chunky chips. The waitress Lucie was friendly and attentive for any additional drinks or food we required after we had placed our order. Would recommend the food and the restaurant. There is no car park at the restaurant but there is a large multi storey car park 5 minutes walk away for the shopping centre.

Beata was absolutely incredible, super friendly and entertaining. Will certainly be back.

Great service from Mario. Thank you!

I visited this restaurant to celebrate a friend's birthday, accompanied by a group of friends. The food was excellent, with steaks cooked perfectly to the precise doneness requested, complemented by delicious and well-prepared sides. There is a great variety of sauces for the steaks, each rich and flavourful. We were fortunate to be served by Mario, whose friendliness and cheerful demeanour made the evening even more enjoyable. His attentiveness and warm hospitality made us feel truly welcomed. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience.

Had an amazing night out here. Outstanding Service by from Willow. She was super energetic, brilliant and kind.The food was amazing. Would recommend

The dining experience at Miller & Carter St Albans exceeded expectations! Lucie gave us top service, showcasing both knowledge and genuine hospitality that made us feel very welcome. The food was really good, the overall experience was great and will be back!

Driver v friendly highly recommended,how can I tip him ?

Waiter (Justin) provided great services but the steaks were cold We been there many times and food was always good but this time was disappointed

M&C ticked all the boxes for a lovely birthday celebration. I would highly recommend the one in St Albans, Hertfordshire.

A lovely meal, with exceptional service. Special thanks to Beata, a brilliant host.

I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant. The ambience was great, the seating was comfortable and the tables not crammed in. It was also extremely clean. Lucie, our waitress, was excellent - very friendly, very professional and very efficient. The gluten free menu was also superb, with a good choice. All the dishes chosen over 3 courses were excellent. Tasty and good portions. Excellent all round and we will be back!

Amazing place, nice environment and delicious food! Mario who served us was amazing and very friendly - incredible service!

Three of us came for dinner on Saturday night, we were served by Lucie who was fantastic! She recommended dishes without being pushy. Overall great evening. Thanks Lucie!

Very friendly and helpful staff. We were a group of seven and we all enjoyed what we had. Great place to dine.

Fantastic food and great service. Beata looked after us really well and we had a very enjoyable evening.

Excellent food and attentive service!

Amazing food and even better service from Mario, will visit again!!

Enjoyed our meal ,excellent service from Mario The world needs more people like Mario top service 🙂🙂

We had a lovely meal here last night. Mario our waiter was attentive without being intrusive. The food was fab and the restaurant had a relaxed feel about it.

The food and service was excellent and we all enjoyed our meals. It was my son's birthday and a plate with a brownie and writing was presented to him with Happy Birthday wishes. We also had someone with Gluten intolerance and special care was taken to ensure the food ordered was suitable. Our server, Beate, was very good indeed.

Incredible visit this evening, food was on point and incredible service by the lovely beata <3 I can’t even say anything bad about this place and they are very understanding and accommodating if you have young children ( I have a feral 3 year old boy)! Food was very fresh and always cooked to beautiful standard! 10* to the chef! We will continue to come back! Also beata always goes above and beyond for all of her customers and always makes me and my family feel special!

The food was amazing! Service, excellent! Our server, Beata was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our meal. I really enjoyed my fillet 8oz steak dish, which was cooked perfect to medium rare, also starter and dessert was wonderful!

As always great food, excellent and helpful staff good location.

Thank you for a marvelous meal the manager mario and our server were wonderful!

My husband and I went to this Miller and Carter on a whim last Wednesday and we were both blown away by the food! Ended up being the best Miller and Carter we have had this year! The service was fabulous which added to our experience!

As a couple we were looking forward to experiencing a nice evening the waiter was obviously new he tried so hard but was not supported by his manager the medium rare steak was tough and the tables were left and not cleared when we came to pay the bill the manager asked do you want your change giving him ninety pound cash for a eighty two pound low satandard meal we were very disappointed

We were offered a competent service, the food was good, the atmosphere was relaxing. Nothing to improve based on our experience.

I felt disappointed with my experience, mainly due to the billing practice, which made me very uncomfortable. I had ordered a 3-course set menu along with some additional à la carte dishes. While the taste of the food was fine, when I received the bill, I noticed that everything was charged as à la carte items instead of the set menu, which should have saved me about 10%. When I asked the staff about it, they insisted the bill was correct, and I was almost ready to pay. But after double-checking and comparing the à la carte and set menu prices, I found that the charges didn’t add up correctly. In the end, I paid the correct amount, but the whole process felt frustrating and left a bad impression. As an expat with English as my second language, this experience made me feel uncomfortable and a bit unwelcome.

Our experience at miller and carter started the second we walked through the doors and were greeted by Mario’s twinkling eyes and charming presence. Our meal was perfect, the onion loaf bringing a gleeful tear to our eyes and the steak bringing me right back to my childhood. The service we received was outstanding, nay, fantastico. Mario is a credit to the staff and establishment of miller and carter, bringing both the thrill and the heart to this family dinner. Many thanks Mario!

Food and service both excellent.

Great food, great service (Mario is a brilliant server), and great overall experience. I come here regularly and never leave disappointed.

Excellent visit last Friday, sharing steak was delicious and we were served by Mario who was super friendly and very attentive

Sourdough bread at £5.25 is both a poor product and very expensive. Wedge salads are fine but honey and mustard dressing is too harsh - if it was more gentle my kids might have tried it. We've had Butchers Block several times over the years. Last year you replaced Ribs with Brisket and this is not a good addition. When first did this you allowed people to choose and this was good. Now the staff have been instructed not to do this. The brisket / marrow is disappointing. At least allow customers to choose the ribs instead, even if you don't promote it. Otherwise the steaks were very good and service great too. Thanks

A Cracking Place to Dine !! Food of V.Good quality. I will return !!🙂

Food was exceptional very well seasoned very well cooked steak not chewy very soft and delicious! Our waiter Mario was superb couldn’t ask for anyone better was really funny respectful Even played with my baby niece rolling on floor playing with her. Pretending to take her flying making her laugh. Forgot my chips and gave a mocktail on the house which was above and beyond. Was my birthday also and he surprised me a plate with happy birthday written on it in chocolate sauce with some icecream and strawberries. Very kind man very funny so thank you Mario for a really lovely night out with my family for my birthday!!! Take care Mario!

Booked a table for 22, Mario was our waiter. Amazing service and amazing stories. Thanks for making it a great evening.

We came to visit Miller and Carter for our anniversary dinner and from the get go it was a really great experience. We were greeted by our server, Lucie Who went above and beyond to make sure that our special evening was even more special. She was attentive and accommodating throughout the evening and took the time to congratulate us on our anniversary. We had the date night special set menu and me and my partner both thought it was great value for money. The food was delicious and the variety on offer for the promotion was exceptional. The staff in the St Albans Miller and Carter seemed happy to be doing their job which led to a great customer experience. We would like to say a special thank you to Lucie for making our evening special and preparing our desert plate with a “happy anniversary” message. It’s gestures like this that can leave a lasting impact on customers. I hope that Lucie will be recognised for her attentiveness and hard work because there is no doubt that she puts this effort and care into every customer that she serves.

Steak cooked to perfection. Staff welcoming and very attentive. I hope to visit again soon.

This dining experience at Miller & Carter St Albans exceeded all expectations. Beote and Mario provided top-notch service, showcasing both knowledge and genuine hospitality that made us feel valued and welcome. The food was outstanding, and the overall experience was one I’ll be recommending to friends and family. If you're looking for a memorable evening with excellent food and impeccable service, ask for Beote and Mario—you won’t be disappointed!

Went for a 40th dinner for hubby. Our waiter, Mario was excellent. He's the main reason, apart from the food that I'm giving 5 stars! He was polite and chatty but not too much. We had an excellent evening and he was very much a part of that. The restaurant was lovely, well lit and the food was brilliant! Will defo be back!

Lucien was amazing. Really attentive and have great recommendations on the menu when asked. The food was really good. Some of our group thought under done but it was a sharer platter I had T-Bone which was ver sinuey but very tasty. Think I may have had a funny bit of meat Everything else was perfect. An amazing night out.

Lovely dinner and mario served us he was an exceptional server! He brightened up our day!

Lucie was magnificent and very attentive to our needs and was confident in her knowledge of the steaks in particular!!! Great meal!

Second visit and was as good as the first, good food and good service (our thanks to Lucie). Highly recommended.

We had a great experience. Food was beautifully cooked and presented and Lucie was an attentive server.

ordered at 18.35, est delivery 19.05-19.30. Delivery time kept changing, at 20.21 called restaurant and asked why it was taking so long, they said the delivery driver hadn't arrived. At 20.50 the online system said driver had arrived at restaurant

Went for lunch with my dad today, I explained he was in a wheelchair that needed lots of space and honestly the staff couldn’t have been nicer and really showed kindness. Mario served us and he was super helpful, really nice and couldn’t do enough!! Honestly lovely place and thanks Mario for your top service!! My dads already talking about coming back!!

M&C St Albans is a favourite of the family! But last night's visit was to celebrate our 25th. We were not disappointed. It was lovely and quiet where the wife and I could chat comfortably without having to raise our voices. We chose the Butcher's Block - 2x 5oz Fillet steaks, 1x Ribeye, 1x Rump and Marrow of brisket. Gorgeous meat, cooked to perfection. Beata was our server and looked after us very well!

Great service, great set lunch menu and price and perfectly cooked steaks ! What's not to love. We'll be back. Thank you 😊

Lucie was a great host food was great too

Had an amazing meal here for my son’s Birthday. Our server Beata was so lovely to us too thank you!

I took my wife and her 2 friends here for a meal, they loved it! Food was perfect, atmosphere was great especially with Mario, he was very personable! He made sure everything was perfect.. We will dine again in the near future..

Very welcoming staff and exceptional service. Will definitely come again.

Went for lunch, great value for the food we got. Amazing service from our waiter Mario! He really elevated our dining experience - best we've had in a while 🤣

Perfect steaks again, and thanks to our server Lucie. Just a shame that you don't still do baked potatoes!

Great service offered by Mario.

We had a lovely evening thanks to Mario, he made sure we had everything we needed :)

Had a wonderful birthday celebration. Team member Lucie was delightful and a credit to Miller and Carter. We will certainly be coming back very soon.

Lovely meal out to celebrate our son's graduation. Wonderful service and attention from Beate, especially the surprise congratulations dessert!

the food was very yummy indeed i personally believe that the waitress should receive a pay rise the reason behind this is because she was very kind 🐷

I visited here for my 22nd Birthday and had Lucie as my server, the food was amazing but above all else Lucie was an amazing host for the evening doing great as a server but also adding a personal touch making it that much more special. Thanks Lucie and all the staff for an amazing night!

Service was excellent (Beate served us and was very friendly and helpful) Food was lovely (fish cakes a little over cooked) Lovely 2 course menu choices Great value for money 👍🏻👍🏻

This is our second visit to St Albans Miller and Carter and had yet another amazing meal. Our wonderful server was Lucie (who we had last time) and was very friendly and attentive - thank you 😁

Excellent meat dinner, thanks to Mario for giving us good advice, for his availability and friendliness.

Beata truly made my evening! I was eating solo on a work trip so Beata’s bubbly and genuinely friendly service really made a difference to my experience.

Great food, great atmosphere and our server Lucie was great!

Lucie was the most amazing server, it was quite busy but only seemed to be her, one bar tender and one manager. We had to wait quite a long time for each service / ordering / wine delivery but this was so not Lucie’s fault. She was very efficient, friendly, professional and knowledgable of menu. There was an ‘incident’ between two tables and she came over to apologise (hardly her fault). It was my son’s 19th Birthday but Lucie recovered the evening perfectly and deserves a pay rise!

Great dinner and wonderful service from Beata. She was wonderful! Great service.

Really good food. Excellent service from our waiter Lucie. A great way to celebrate a family birthday.

Mario was one of the best hosts we have had for a while. I came here with my extended family, some of whom are visiting and can't speak English. Mario made them feel at home, and is also a very handsome man. Will be back soon!

Mario was excellent! very kinda, helpful and funny.

Beata was very attentive and delivered great service with a smile, very happy with the visit. Everything came hot and was tasty

The venue was very well presented and the seating felt far enough apart from the next table. The decor lovely throughout. Lucie who served us was amazing. Very friendly and helpful throughout. She was very sociable and smiled lots. We ate the steak and cocktail deal that evening, which was LOVELY. £20.00 for steak side and a choice of cocktail. The whole meal was fantastic and the time from order to arrival was just right.

Underrated chain in a beautiful venue in St Albans. For a steak dinner the quality to value is hard to beat. We have made Miller & Carter a regular stop as we always have a delicious steak at a reasonable price and leave stuffed.

Let me start off my review by saying this; if Google had 6 star reviews, but you could only use it once, I would use it on this steakhouse. I ordered a 16 OZ ribeye, cooked to medium. It came perfectly cooked just to my liking, and and it melts in your mouth like butter, it was perfectly seasoned too. The crust was exceptional, and it just added a whole new flavour of deliciousness to the steak. The onion thing on the bottom right of the plate in the picture attached was so crispy and flavourful that I would eat 20 of them in one sitting. The server, who I didn't catch the name of, was very polite to me and the person with me, even giving recommendations about the food. Whoever the chef is, I want to ask them to marry me, and if I could describe the food in one word, I would say: delectable. 10/10 restaurant, 100% am coming back.

We went for a family celebration for a 60th wedding anniversary. There were 16 of us. From booking the meal, paying the deposit to leaving the restaurant I could not fault the service. Our servers were attentive, thoughtful, fun and even took photos for us. Everyone’s food was cooked perfectly. We had such a lovely time and my in-laws had a celebration that they won’t forget. Thank you M&C. You’ve done it again. We will always return to St Albans where they have (in my opinion) the best atmosphere, the best staff, the best food and the best setting for a lovely evening out.

Thank you Beata for your service, smile, friendliness and professionalism. Was nice meeting you. Thanks to the kitchen team for the great food. Bathrooms were cleaned and organised too. We’ll be back :)

Our server Beata was amazing as were all the staff, food was delicious as always. It was my mums birthday and the dessert was bought out with a lovely message and singing x thank you to all xxx

Lovely food and great service by Lucie, we’ll definitely come back :)

Lucie & Beata provided amazing service! Thanks for making my birthday that little bit more special and the food was great everyone was very complementary. This is by far the best miller and carter I’ve been to. Would recommend 👍🏽.

Place is presentable, service is great, food was just fine-the steaks were quite dry. But overall good experience.

Very good food and amazing server, beata.
