Milton's
Best described as contemporary American Cuisine with a southern flair, Milton's opened with little fanfare in August, 2006. Since then word of mouth has spread the news of this new North Fulton restaurant to the point that reservations are strongly suggested, especially on weekends. Although technically in Alpharetta, we always consider the restaurant to be part of Crabapple, Georgia, one of the first towns in present-day North Georgia. It predates both Roswell and Atlanta by a number of years.
In a 150-year old farmhouse, Milton's is in the oldest town in North Georgia.
The upscale village of Crabapple is home to a number of excellent restaurants including Milton's, whose name is taken from Milton County, the original name for North Fulton. Originally home to Mr. John B's, the 150-year old farmhouse is large and rambling, but divided into smaller rooms which helps make Milton's more personal. An expansive deck makes an excellent choice for dining, especially in the Spring and Fall.
The menu is the creation of Jay Pollock, formerly from Killer Creek on Mansell Road. Jay has combined a number of traditional favorites with some new touches that make even the mundane dishes seem new. For example, Jay has taken hummus and given it a zesty flavor before serving it with pita chips. One of my personal favorites is Milton's Knife & Fork Shrimp Chowder, which features large, moist shrimp in a bisque-type sauce. Salads run from an iceberg lettuce wedge garnished with onions, bacon, tomatoes and blue cheese if desired (the "Deep South Salad") to a Caesar's, but our favorite is the Spinach Salad which combines walnuts, cranberries and bacon into a tasteful treat.
Three categories of main courses includes pasta, entrees and steaks. The Cajun Shrimp Pasta served hot and tasted hot, but only the most sensitive palettes would have to avoid this temptation. It combines shrimp, andouille sausage and onions on a bed of homemade linguine. The other pasta dish is mock lasagna made with a hearty pappardelle (smaller than the normal lasagna noodle, but still with fluted edges) and served with an American marinara sauce. While the flavor is excellent, I prefer my lasagna with the wider noodles.
Milton's has a large deck for outdoor dining
Entrees feature chicken Romano, a chicken breast with mozzarella cheese served on a bed of angel-hair pasta, Chef Jay's signature dish, shrimp and grits, is surprisingly good, with the shrimp served moist and full of flavor and the dish is served with bacon, scallions and red pepper. We also have had each of the steak offerings, the most tender being the filet mignon served medallion-style, but the ribeye had more flavor.
Desserts are the creation of the chef and run the gamut from cobbler to cake.
