The Scene – Flower beds dot the lush green lawns of this old gristmill on the bank of the Podunk River. Innumerable wedding pictures have been taken in front of the 30-foot fountain, waterfall and covered bridge. Inside, cozy dining areas (including two glass sun rooms) offer a warm escape from the cold. – – The Food – Seafood preparation here is flawless, from the golden-crusted fried calamari to the just-smoky blackened redfish. Rich specialties include chicken breast chatelaine, medallions of chicken cooked with wine, chestnuts and pearl onions. Sunday brunch is…

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.
- Pros: food

Brides BEWARE!!!
by annasmom at Citysearch
I recently attended a wedding at the Mill and I couldn't believe how RUDE the managers were! The wedding cake started falling over and I complained to a waitstaff because I couldn't find a manager. Then a manager finds me and asks where the bride and groom are and complains that they are out taking pictures! I asked her about the cake and she rolled her eyes at me and walked away!
The event managers are so unprofessional! There was a wedding right before the one I attended and they left the table clothes on from the previous wedding! They just put napkins on top. I looked under the napkins- EWWW!!! We also told them that we would be providing our own chair covers and decorations and when we got there we found that not only had they let guests in before we got there, but they left the previous weddings decorations up! This was after they tried to charge the bride and extra $3.50 per chair cover, so we bought our own for cheaper!
The food was alright. Definitely not 4 star quality though. Their salads were wilted. The wedding cake they made was made from store bought boxed cake mixes and frosting. Disgusting. I was thoroughly disappointed. Not only was the cake unappetizing but it was UGLY.
The bartender was fabulous though. So I guess that was a saving grace. Though they don't serve frozen drinks like strawberry daiquiris.
- Pros: Beautiful Setting, Food is OKAY,
- Cons: Staff are rude, bad parking, Poor Quality of Pastry
