We’ve been to the Mill on the River many times for dinner, but had never tried the Sunday brunch until today. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back again. Food and service were excellent as always.

Food was delicious and while pricey, completely worth it. Ash, our server, was phenomenally attentive without being disruptive. We were allowed to take our time, order in waves, and enjoy the view of the waterfall. Cocktails were divine and well-made, and the entrees were generous without being ridiculous. The restaurant catered to our dietary needs without batting an eye, and not one bite was left to carry away.
