   The place is amazing and oh so beautiful. The Dinner choices were excellent and very good. The problem is if you have enjoyed the Sunday Brunch it is so superb that the dinner only enters its shadow. Our overall impression is excellent, but we're definitely back for brunch, and maybe dinner too.

   First time at this venue - outstanding value for the money. For a brunch buffet the food was far better than one would expect...everything was fresh, especially the seafood, and hot entrees were well-prepared. Our server was attentive and took excellent care of our party. We will definitely be back!

   Wonderful experience. The ambience is amazing and the food not too shabby either. Great Service. Would have loved to have gotten more than a card with note for a Silver anniversary. They could have done a little extra to make the experience a memorable one.

   Food was delicious; but service dissapointingly inattentive. To make a straightforward request took 5-10 minutes just to have any staff member of any type acknowledge. Put a sour note on an otherwise great family event.

   Date of visit: May 21 @ 12 Occasion: no occasion. Casual lunch Review: Ancaster Mill never disappoints. The setting is absolutely stunning—nestled by the waterfalls and surrounded by lush greenery, it’s a uniquely peaceful atmosphere, especially since I was lucky enough to get a window seat. The service: I was greeted at the door which was held for me by Malik. I didn’t get the names of the hostess or the girl who showed me to my seat, but they were both lovely young girls . I was seated promptly. Greg took my order. Ali brought my soup and scallops. He was friendly & polite with a beautiful smile. The one criticism is service lagged between courses. I waited 25 minutes between the soup and scallops. Greg was attentive but never intrusive. Candace was friendly and pleasant. She was attentive refilling my water glass. I opted for 3 appetizers: The white minestrone soup the asparagus tart and the scallops. every course was beautifully plated and full of flavour. The scallops were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented in a half clamshell in beurre blanc sauce and topped with lemon breadcrumbs. The standout for me was the asparagus tart. Puff pastry mornay sauce shaved asparagus Gruyère caramalized onion purée chervil. Really delicious. The locally sourced ingredients and seasonal focus really elevate the experience. Pricing reflects the quality, but it feels entirely justified. Highly recommend for celebrations, or simply treating yourself to an elegant meal in a stunning location. Only criticisms are every dish was heavy handed with Chervil. I would have preferred if the chervil was used as a garnish on top of the soup and not as an ingredient. With every spoonful of soup I got a mouthful of chervil. And the soup could have been hotter. It was lukewarm. But very very yummy and unique. I have nothing to compare the soup with because I’ve never had a soup like it before.

    The food here was absolutely phenomenal, 10/10. Service was also fantastic, attentive but not overbearing. The food was delicious with great variety. We enjoyed a lovely walk on the grounds afterwards. The price is aligned with the quality of the food, staff, and experience.
