So far... so good!. We are just over the moon with happiness so far with selecting the Mill for our september wedding. From the first phone call Amanda was prompt to respond, flexible with menu/times/guest counts, and has given us a calm and focused feeling that we did not previously have with the other venue that made us wait almost 3 months to even send a proposal. We hope that our experience post wedding is just as good, but we have faith that this is going to be easy, fun, and amazing to plan :) Thanks Amanda!!!…
Careless, Wedding Mill.
Calling it a "mill" is apt; it is a wedding mill. As the wedding coordinator told me, they do weddings here every weekend. The result: you are not special to them and they will not work hard or be
flexible at all. There are 10 other people behind you in line who will put up with their baloney and rudeness.
They do not allow tastings. I was concerned because I would not have any idea what my wedding cake would taste like. Her response: Well, that's how it is here.
I wanted to use the cocktail party package that is posted on their website. Her response: anything remotely wedding-related MUST use the wedding packages on their website. Note that the cocktail party webpage does NOT specify that it may not be used for weddings.
Conclusion: They are not flexible and do not really care about making your day special.…
The best food you'll ever eat!.
I've been eating here about once a year for the last 5 years or so. Then when I was getting married, there was only one place to look. The Mill was amazing. The best venue, well priced receptions.
The best part was that the cake was included. They have their own pastry chef that makes them. It was sooo good. Compliments from all of our guests. The fish, the chicken, then prime rib, sooo good. I love good food, and this place continues to surprise me with how good it is. Don't go anywhere else for dinner. This will be our permanent anniversary dinner establishment. Thanks to you, Mill on the River and their wedding coordinator Laura Coviello, for making our dreams come true!
Food: 5 Stars, amazing
Ambiance: 5 Stars, amazing
Service: 5 Stars, AMAZING!!!…
Delicious Food and Wonderful Atmosphere.
I happened apon The Mill on the River this Sunday after seeing a show in Hartford. This was my first time here and what a beautiful restaurant this is. From the covered bridge over looking the
waterfall to the grand lobby and NY City style dining room, this place is top notch.
My boyfriend and I went to the bar to have a drink before dinner. The bar has a great view overlooking the water. We had frozen grape martini's which were a real treat!
After cocktials the hostess brought us to a seat by the window where we could see the waterfall. Our waitress Joan was exceptional! She was very warm and knowledgeable, she was attentive with out rushing us. Joan steared us toward their signature dish Redfish Nouvelle. It was delicious and she even recommened a great wine to pair with dinner.
We don't normally have dessert but Joan talked us into sharing a creme brulee and we decided to have cappucinos.
I'm so glad we drove past The Mill on the River, we will be back again very soon!…
Food fine, wait staff surreal.
Sat in the bar area for dinner Sunday evening and started with a bottle of wine. After our waitress (not friendly, very condensendingly phony) gives us the bottle, she told us to hurry up because
the kitchen was closing in 20 minutes.. We placed our order and got our food, and asked for some sour cream for the quesadeas...and was told the kitchen was locked shut. Im glad the company I was with was awesome to make up for the service shortcommings.
Waitress never came buy to see how our meal was.
After reading some of the other review I have a feeling the managers / owners have the same attitude as this waitress.…
