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.

Sunday Supper family style was terrific. Lamb shank was tasty and hearty. Vegetables cooked to perfection. Salad was great and rosemary butter with fresh bread made my day. So to top it off we sat in the falls room on a snowy night. I’m coming back soon. Thanks for a leisurely paced meal. Not fast service. Hallelujah.

Although we were pre warned prime rib would only be served as medium ,the roast was served very rare and only warm. This was very disappointing as we were looking forward to this birthday celebrating meal. With past experiences their prime rib was very good. I now question if we will return sadly.
