    Our waiter was excellent and went over the menu in detail. The food was upscale Italian, creatively done and delicious. The ambiance of the patio and brick walls (from a former mill?) were charming.

    Our chicken was undercooked and it took a while to get that fixed. Other than that we had a great time and the food was good. They did give us the chicken at half price to make up for it, which we appreciated.

    Thanks so much for your understanding and kind words, Chuck! We're glad you still had a great time, and we truly appreciate the chance to make it right. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon for an even smoother experience. Cheers!

    This was our first time at Mulino’s. It came recommended to us. It did not disappoint. A beautiful Spring day to eat outside. The ceiling heater gave just enough to keep the chill away. Chase was our waiter and he did an excellent job informing us of the entree ingredients. Every morsel was a delight and enough left to take home for a small meal.

    Really enjoyed our first visit to Mulino. The patio was quite lovely. The service was very good. We shared a salad and we really enjoyed the special bread. Our entrees were very tasty. It was a good value. I will definitely return.

    Food was great, the ambience was very nice. Service was terribly slow, took 20 mins to get a drink and 20 after we finished eating to get the check.
