My wife and I have been here several times in the past two years. Whilst we really enjoyed our visits in the past when the food was very well prepared, presented and tastefully done, the quality of the food we had last night was very pedestrian. The escargots starter my wife was served on a small soup plate with 4-5 pieces of escargot on a half brioche bun on a garlic butter sauce that looked like clear liquid. The rack of lamb we ordered was badly cut and presented, with very little meat on it. Food was most disappointing.

Spring Mill Cafe is my favorite place to eat. I love everything about it. Due to the pandemic I’ve not been there for awhile so it was like seeing an old friend again. Food was delicious as always. We had a 4 year old a 2 year old and a 1 year old and everyone was so lovely to us. A wonderful Labor Day Sunday brunch. Thank you.

Lovely little restaurant. Beautiful day to eat outside. Food was very good. I would prefer having the outside tables not so close to the parking area. I thought it was a little pricey, $33 per person which included 1 appetizer and 1 entree (Sunday brunch). Overall, a very lovely experience, very good food.

A lovely, very relaxing Friday night dinner after a crazy week! Our entrees were excellent - filet mignon which was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and coquille saint-Jacques (scallops) with fresh vegetables, al dente. Followed up with their flourless chocolate torte and coffee. Perfection.

I have been eating here for more years than I can count. This was the first time I was completely disappointed. The hostess was rude tried to then help serve and was totally unqualified to do so. The mandatory fixed priced brunch menu is just wrong. Not everyone wants and appetizer and egg entree for $33. The tiny chocolate croissants delicious but ridiculous for the cost. The omelet uninspired. In addition the menu was changed to include mostly only ordinary brunch items you can get most anywhere much cheaper. Most of the charm of Spring Mill seems gone. I won't be rushing back anytime soon.

We brought friends at their request, because we've always praised SMC so much. Now they're converts. The seasonal menu is still the same as it was in our last review. I was delighted with the artichoke appetizer but didn't notice what the others had. The special fish of the day was swordfish. Without exaggeration, this was the finest piece of swordfish I've ever had. It was thick and meaty, but it was also light and delicate like no other I've ever had. One of our guests also had it and agreed. His wife and mine both had the scallop special and loved that as well. A little sorbet finishd off another wondeful dinner at SMC and we left as happy as can be!

Food was delicious. Tables too close , chairs extremely uncomfortable. Why bother to ask if you are celebrating an occasion if they stick a tiny candle in a dessert and charge you for the dessert! So many other places treat you ! Not looking for a freebee but why ask???

Title: A Charming Evening at Spring Mill Cafe Last night, my date and I had the pleasure of dining at Spring Mill Cafe, and it was an enchanting experience from start to finish. Nestled in a picturesque setting, the restaurant exuded rustic charm and provided the perfect ambiance for a romantic evening. To begin our culinary journey, I savored the delightful Vichyssoise Soup. The creamy texture and subtle flavors were a delightful way to awaken the palate. My date opted for the beet salad, a colorful and refreshing choice that combined the earthiness of beets with a tantalizing dressing. For the main course, I indulged in the scallops, and they were simply divine. Cooked to perfection, each bite offered a delicate balance of tenderness and flavor. My date chose the lamb chops, and they were succulent and beautifully seasoned, leaving a lasting impression. Throughout the meal, the attentive staff made us feel like cherished guests, and the warm bread they served was a delightful addition to our dining experience. To conclude the evening on a sweet note, we ordered the daffodil cake. This dessert was a work of art, and its light, airy texture combined with the subtle sweetness of daffodil left us truly impressed. The overall atmosphere of Spring Mill Cafe, with its charming decor and friendly service, added to the delight of the evening. From the moment we stepped inside until we bid farewell, the restaurant exuded a cozy and welcoming ambiance that made us feel at ease. In summary, Spring Mill Cafe offers an unforgettable dining experience that combines delectable dishes with an enchanting atmosphere. Whether you're seeking a romantic evening or simply a delightful culinary adventure, this restaurant is a must-visit destination. We left with full hearts and satisfied taste buds, and we look forward to returning for more culinary delights in the future. Highly recommended!

Wife and I enjoyed another meal at the Spring Mill Cafe. I had the chicken and she had the scallops. The chicken was well-flavored with Moroccan spices and the meat fell from the bone. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the scallops. The service was attentive and excellent. One of our favorite go-to restaurants.

It was a delightful Sunday brunch in the French countryside. My wife had the daily special salad and I started with the cheese plate, which featured two of my favorites - Delice de Bourgogne and Ossau Iraty. I should have had this for dessert, since the cheeses are rich and complex and they were served with a pile of fresh berries plus jam and honey. But they were too tempting to wait that long. Then my wife had the fish special of the day (a delicious trout) while I enjoyed shrimp and grits. Everything about Spring Mill Cafe remains wonderful - staff, service, setting, quality, prep, presentation, etc. Being there made our day, as it always does.

Glad you are attracting a younger crowd, but it can be too loud. Any problem in having a small sign at each table saying: "For the comfort of others and your own privacy, please moderate the loudness of your conversation." -- or words to that effect? When your own waiters must scream at your customers to be heard, some restraint should be exercised. It's not necessary to even consider soundproofing if everyone moderated their volume. Just a gentle reminder might help.
