Miller and Carter Steakhouse in Milton Keynes

We had a lunch reservation on a Sunday and, unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The service was slow and not particularly friendly, which set the tone for the meal. Several items from the starter menu were unavailable, and the same applied to a number of desserts, which was frustrating. While the steak was excellent, the overall presentation of the food was quite average. We’ve visited M&C several times before, but each experience seems more underwhelming than the last. The quality and experience feel hit-and-miss with no consistency, which is quite disappointing for a restaurant of this caliber. We’re not sure if we’ll be returning anytime soon.

The best place for steak , always have a great meal here. Kyle was our server and he was great , very friendly.

Great food, very polite service. Get served by Kyle who was indeed very hospitable.

Great meal, Richard and the team looked after us so well. Thank you so much.

Lovely Christmas day dinner at the Xscape restaurant. Service was excellent by Abhi. Nothing was too much trouble and he was very polite and professional throughout. Christmas dinner was really good and plenty of it, cauliflower cheese was amazing. Souffle was good and the Christmas pudding was very good. Only slight let down was my partner had the surf an turf. The scallop was very over cooked and rubbery. Last year we went to the Shenley Branch and the meal really wasn't very good. This year it's was amazing at the Xscape.

I've been to this Miller & Carter a couple of times now- once for a 30th birthday dinner, and then again last week for a girly Christmas dinner. On both occasions, we have experienced great food, a lovely atmosphere and the service has been fantastic! The food is hearty and indulgent, especially around Christmas time- the festive menu has loads to offer and lots of delicious choices. I love their Black Angus Sirloin! It's a shame I can't remember the name of the gentleman who tended to my table on both of my visits- he is chatty, friendly, personable and makes sure you are looked after. He's also great at upselling and recommending menu items. My friends and I are planning on coming back next Christmas for another dinner- we all agreed that our most recent experience was excellent! I think this is also an excellent location- MK Xscape already has loads to do, but this is a great option if you are looking at doing a really action-packed day with a nice meal at the end!

Visited Miller and Carter on Christmas Day (which was also my birthday). Had an amazing experience of fabulous food, great customer service, relaxing setting and great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend! Danielle and the food runners made us feel very welcome and ensured we were happy during our visit :)

Lucy was super lovely and attentive, food was perfect as always. The only thing was the drinks wait but we ordered cocktails so semi-expected.

Kyle looked after us as usual! Always great food and service 🎅

Double rump fillet not a Chateaubriand

This was my second time visiting a Miller and Carter. Loved the 50 aged steak. Everything cooked to perfection. Thank you all.

Absolutely terrible, service was shocking food was dry and bland, avoid and save your money

We visited Miller and Carter for some Xmas shopping lunch and all I can say is I wish we hadn't bothered, will honestly say it's the worst experience I've ever had at a food establishment. The customer service was terrible we had a drink and some starters then had to wait over 45 mins for our mains, the mains was not great at all we both had the bacon cheeseburger it was dry had no flavor other than the sauce which is shocking as it says the burger is succulent and flavoursome we decided not to finish the food the chips were over done and most stuck together, we then had to get up and get our own cutlery as we had asked the lady for some new ones and she completely ignored what we asked for, we then had to wait another 25 mins at least for another drink. All 3 waitresses kept dropping food or plates and the little girl on the table next to us had her whole lobster tail lunch dropped on her covering her in food and oil. The woman who served them made the most pitiful of apologies and didn't even offer to have the food taken off the bill shocking service will never ever visit a Miller and Carter again in my life. When I paid the waitress laughed at me when I clicked on the no tip option as she must of thought I was joking. Clearly I weren't management need to address the staff on great customer service. If there was a option for no stars I'd would give it. What a waste of a hard earned £79

Came here to celebrate my sister's 15th birthday and the food and service was great. Dave was our server and he was very friendly and informative about the different type of cuts and what would pair nicely. Thank you for making it a lovely evening!

Food was good, service was ok, we did go to get our own drinks mid meal from the bar after waiting ages for someone to come round. Few of the bar/waiting staff had bad body odour unfortunately, not very pleasant when eating.

What a meal 11/10 Service from Dave at MK Miller and Carter was fantastic really nice guys and very professional 11/10 Atmosphere was nice and chill and very clean 11:10

Been here a few times now food is always great as well as the staff. Especially Dave who makes you feel very welcome.

Lovely dining experience and great food as always. Great service from Matteo, will be returning to this branch :)

Amazing. Food was incredible and staff very knowledgeable and nice .

Overall the food was good, however service was very slow due to a large group booking. Our waiter was great and very apologetic, there wasn’t much he could do. Fantastic fillet steak. Tiramisu would have been great too had it not been served sitting in a pool of cold coffee. Unnecessary and adds nothing

I visited with two friends on a Friday night, a couple of weeks before Christmas - my rating is four stars rather than five because we waited quite a while for our mains and dessert was a little disappointing, but otherwise everything was lovely and our waiter was great. I had the spinach and camembert pastry, which was very good and came with a generous serving of seasonal vegetables. I then had the tiramisu for dessert, which was mostly very nice but was unfortunately served in a little pool of coffee - that bottom layer of sponge was absolutely sodden and the taste of coffee was far too strong because of it, but the upper layers were much nicer.

As usual good steak. Had a medium rare steak and a glass of white wine. Kyle(the waiter) was exceptional. Finished off with crème brûlée.

Brilliant service. And Brilliant food. Milton Keynes escape. Thankyou Abhi

Kyle was great. Brilliant service. Good was fantastic.

I went to a Miller and Carter restaurant in York and the service was terrible. They could not fulfil our order and gave me a £75 voucher to spend at another Miller and Carter restaurant. I took my Mum to Miller and Carter Xscape and it was a very different experience. The food was great, the service was great, we had a laugh and it was a great celebration for my Mum's 95th birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and the good food and service made all the difference. Kyle was our waiter and he was attentive, knowledgeable, polite and charming.

Brilliant food, great service, great beer, will definitely be back!

Fantastic steak great service lovely atmosphere

Some items out of stock but it what I ordered tasted Great

Late lunch after Christmas shopping. Food was great with separate gluten free menu.

Was so disappointed tonight Normally everything is good so not sure what happened this evening Food mediocre Way over priced for portion size Service slow arsetfrom asking for the bill ! Would have mentioned we wasn’t happy with the food but had already waited over an hour and no one asked anyway Such a shame as this place is our go to on a night out

Dave, our waiter was great, food was absolutely amazing, the Ribeyes were cooked perfectly (medium).

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.

If you’re in Milton Keynes and your stomach is growling louder than a rock concert, head straight to Miller & Carter. I decided to treat myself to a meal here, and boy, was it a treat! The star of the show? A T-bone steak so large it could double as a doorstop. The ambiance is top-notch – think classy steakhouse vibes with just the right amount of cozy. The staff are fantastic, making you feel like royalty from the moment you walk in. They even gave me a mini masterclass on the different cuts of steak, which was both educational and mouth-watering. Now, let’s talk about that T-bone. It arrived on a plate that could have been mistaken for a small table. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and seasoned to perfection, it was a carnivore’s dream come true. Each bite was a little piece of heaven, and I savored every single one. The sides were no slouch either – crispy fries, fresh salad, and a sauce that made everything even better. By the end of the meal, I was so full I considered rolling out the door. But it was worth every delicious bite. If you’re a steak lover, Miller & Carter in Milton Keynes is your mecca. Five stars, and then some!

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.

Excellent fillet steak and all the trimmings as always

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!

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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!!!!

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 .

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 !

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
