Mill’s Tavern, a fine dining destination located in the historic Pilgrim Mills building on North Main Street in Providence, has earned a 2015 Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator magazine. The award is considered a top honor among restaurateurs and guests alike.

Wine Spectator honored Mill’s Tavern for having “one of the most outstanding restaurant wine lists in the world,” recognizing the restaurant for offering interesting selections that are appropriate to their cuisine and appeal to a wide range of wine lovers. Mill’s Tavern boasts a 175-selection wine list with a strong concentration in California wines. The list has well-chosen varietals from quality producers, along with a thematic match to the menu in both price and style.

“We are honored to be recognized–for the second year in a row–for our commitment to offering our guests a diverse selection of high-quality wines,” comments Mill’s Tavern General Manager Heather Mitchell. “Two years ago, we carefully reviewed our wine list to ensure it paired perfectly with our cuisine. At that time, we decided to increase the depth and breadth of our offerings to please both the casual diner and the wine connoisseur. Receiving this award is very satisfying, but what matters most is that our guests have been able to enjoy some really great wines since we made the changes.”

“Mill’s Tavern continues to deliver the highest caliber food, service and fine wines to our guests while remaining at a price point that appeals to many people,” notes Steve Aronow, one of the principal owners of the restaurant. “This recognition acknowledges the successful concept upon which our business is built, and we commend our management and staff on their achievement.”
