Every city should have a restaurant like Mill’s Tavern. Following in the footsteps of chefs who pioneered this style of restaurant (think Boston’s Olives and Portland’s Fore Street), Edward Bolus cooks your dinner in a wood-burning oven, over a wood-burning grill or in an everyday sauté pan. Relying on local ingredients whenever possible, Bolus’ menu might include Point Judith calamari dredged in chickpea flour, coastal sturgeon marinated in black beans and roasted in the wood-burning oven or a veal porterhouse grilled over a blend of woods and served with fava beans and lardons. Large and lively, Mill’s Tavern is known for “a bustling bar scene” in addition to the tasty food.
