Great experience. We rounded off our Mill tour with Ancaster and will definitely be back - by far our favourite of the 3. Service was slow. Clearing of plates, resetting of cutlery and drink refills. No real issues - just slow enough to notice based on our expectations from the other locations. Loved that duck was offered! Chicken and waffles, oysters and the passion fruit meringues were also a few of our favourites. Restaurant layout and atmosphere is absolutely stunning. Staff was very friendly and welcoming

The food and service were top notch, my only complaint is about the music/performer it’s very loud and bothers if you want to have a conversation at the table. My husband complains about it to the server but nothing changed. It’s nice to have a music in the background but it has to be subtle.

The brunch was absolutely amazing, you have many options such as meat, seafood, charcuterie, pastries, and among others. Not to mention the price was worth it. Moreover the service was great, and the environment was normal nothing special but it was good enough.
