The environment is quite nice and there aren't many people. The steak I ordered was medium but already had a burnt taste. The fries that came with it were very delicious.

It was simply delicious. Beautiful setting, toasty atmosphere on a cold evening and great views out to Park St from upstairs. Great value for tasty food, the performance of our waiter making cannoli by hand at the table topped it off!

We went as a group of 8. Once they had turned the speaker directly over our table down a bit, we were able to converse and have a great night. The meals were delicious, and the drink waiters attentive. The feeling of The Mill was comfortable, although a bit of a cold breeze flowed through. Recommended for a casual meal out with friends.
