WE WON'TBE BACK. My wife and I were seated at a table with 4 other total strangers. My veiw the entire meal was staring at a brick wall. The noise level was almost shouting level, The service was mediocre. We spent most of the meal waiting for service.

It was a beautiful night so we chose to sit outside on their little patio. There’s a gas fire pit in the middle of all the tables, so very cozy.. my husband got the seared tuna and I got the shrimp scampi, we split a Caesar salad. Everything was wonderful, our server Monica was great. 👍

Our waitress was so busy with probably too many tables to service that our service, i.e. wait time was longer than we would have liked.

Mill on the River delivers a delicious meal without a doubt! The fish dishes are exceptional. The only issue we had was that we were a couple and were seated next to a pole - it just lacked a little ambiance for a special occasion dinner!!
