I am you, PP. I have been to Millie's many times, because I like their strong cocktails and in the gastronomic desert that is AU Park and Spring Valley, I like their food. I live in the neighborhood and I can walk to Millie's.
I have never noticed these MILFies. I wouldn't recognize a Goyard bag or $500 sneakers. I think I will skip Millie's from now on. I don't think I want to patronize such a place.

But if you, like the other PP, don't notice or care about what supposedly happens there and you like to go, why would you stop going? If you've been there and haven't noticed this "scene", what makes you think what she says is happening is really happening? No one went on the record, if you notice. It's all anonymous quotes. This article reads like a hit job on the place written by someone with an agenda. It isn't a review of the restaurant itself... it's a poorly written fluff piece with no real point except to make fun of people who go there. If you stop going, mission accomplished for the author.

Because now that I know what is going on there, I will feel out of place. I will also start looking around and wonder who these people are who all know each other. Before this article, I did not even know that there was an in crowd. That there were MILF-ies. It is now impossible to ignore.

How odd. If I'm going to dinner with my family, or some friends, why on earth would I care that other people at the restaurant were well-dressed or knew other patrons?

You've got some issues, PP.

So sorry ladies, but the gleefulness about the "MILFies" moniker is kind of gross and also SO not true. This is a normal/mediocre place with normal/mediocre looking women and men. I've never seen anyone there that is truly stunning and I have been there many, many times.

Normal looking families and children frequent the place and yes, everyone does know everyone so that is kind of fun! Also nice to let the kids walk to get ice cream and walk to pick up dinner as the neighborhood sorely lacked anything great for a while.

The author's tone was juvenile as were the quotes from 40 somethings who overused the word "like" a la an 80's Valley Girl wanna be.

Golden Goose sneakers are ugly as are Goyard bags. Also, cross body bags are a definite no no!

Huge fail on all accounts.

This really is the funniest part of the piece. It's not some hot spot in NY or LA where the beautiful people congregate - it's a suburban strip mall restaurant with a patio where people go because of lack of other choices. The notion that people go there to "be seen" is ludicrous.

Almost embarrassed I own all those items mentioned in the catty article. Except the car.

I’ve always assumed that many DCUM posters (and definitely the ones that go to Millie’s) are the same ones that used to post on LateNightShots and go to Smith Point and the Rookery. It’s amusing how little things have changed in the last 15 years or so.

$500 sneakers? You should lose the "almost" and be full-on mortified.

Ahaha you just took me back to my very fun early-to-mid twenties.

I thought this article was pretty funny. I'll admit, I had to look up Golden Goose sneakers but now that I know what they look like, I have definitely seen them around town. I tried to go to Milfie's once and was completely turned off by a family of four (dressed as this article describes) who, lead by the mom, shoved in front of me at the maitre d stand like I was sub-human and the hostess cheerily took them in front of me without even acknowledging that we'd been cut off mid-sentence. I turned around and left, haven't been back (this was just over a year ago). All that said, I live nearby and would definitely give it another shot if a friend or family member suggested it, I just wouldn't seek it out. I've heard the food is pretty good and as many people have pointed out, that area of NWDC doesn't have very many dining options.

Eh I like myself but thanks for your opinion.

I had to look up Goyard. To continue the Mean Girls theme, these are some fugly bags. I did get a chuckle from the website's statement, "We do not engage in e-commerce in any way."

Your posts indicate quite the opposite.

Don't you all know that twenty-something boys troll Millies on Thursday nights looking for MILFs to bang? These cougar hunters coined the Milfies name.

P.S. Thank you to the LateNightShots poster. We never had to worry about moms showing up at the Griffin Room, did we?

That’s exactly what it is.

$500 sneakers that are manufactured to look dirty and scuffed. I can hear my mom cursing out spending a lot of $ on ripped jeans (not $500 though! Not even $100!) and now I get it.
