                          my family and I enjoyed the brunch. It is on the pricier side especially fort my 6 year old, but was still delicious. As I rated, everything was pretty much outstanding. The staff was friendly and attentive, the crepery and egg stations were very interactive with my son. It was really nice. Some of the tables were close and it did get loud however manageable. It was all our group's first time attending brunch and we will be going back again. If you are looking for an amazing brunch with many different items to choose from , try it here. The waterfalls and creeks are a beautiful drop for an amazing brunch.

                          Deserts were fantastic - especially the bread pudding. Main courses were ok. Not enough vegetable or salad offerings. Coffee was respectable - but not Starbucks level.

                          We had been looking forward to our visit to old mill for months as it’s difficult to get brunch reservations in summer. There were 4 adults and a 4 year old child. The food was good with nice variety. We were definitely disappointed by the lack of service, and the demeanour of staff. I waited 30 minutes for coffee, the servers never once checked on us, and it took much too long to bring the bill. We got the sense service was disorganized and servers were complacent, right from the hostess working the reception desk. For $450 and a beautiful venue the service certainly did not match and all the attendees at my table noticed.

                          It was our first time experience in this place. We tried because my friend recommend it to me. The person helping in front was not approachable at all. Not very welcoming, never say good morning to anybody. Then until we are sitted, they should at least orient customers where the Mains, dessert, appetizers and the orders of drinks should be. Instead servers expect that everyone that come are a returning customers. Food is just okay over all. Noise is loud.

                          The Mill is an excellent location with a beautiful waterfall backdrop. Food was good, as was the service. But the noise level was too loud for intimate dining. The tables are set too close together to accommodate the maximum number of customers.
