We had lunch at the mill today and we found it to be very slow. The food was good but very spaced between courses. It seemed like they were very busy and didn’t have enough servers. The slowness would have been fine but we didn’t any communication about it. Our server topped up my wine before lunch because I had drank it all while waiting, which was very nice but overall it wasn’t the experience we had been expecting for the reputation and the price.

Server had a table of 20 that was seated right after us and was attending to them mostly so we were sort of forgotten about. Not her fault but it made our experience not as good as we would have liked another round of drinks

We had a lovely Boxing Day brunch at the Old Mill. The ambience and food were fantastic but the best part was the staff. From the coat check people, hostess and our waiter they excelled.

Fantastic experience once again at the Ancaster Mill for brunch. Incredible variety of food. Ambience is beautiful year round, service was very good. A tad pricey, but a great place to go on special occasions, especially at christmas time.
