We did the Ring in the New Year experience at Ancaster mill, the food was incredible- every single dish surpassed expectations. It’s difficult to select one highlight from the meal because every dish was perfect. Service was incredible, our server was attentive and responsive. The live band was great, folks were dancing and having a great time. Thanks so much to Ancaster mill for helping us ring in the new year 2025!

There is something off about the Ancaster Mill New Year’s event- we arrived for 8:30 & felt rushed from the minute we got there. Initially seated right by the stage with music & they did accommodate our request for a quieter table- but still in the middle of the area near the falls. Can’t quite help feeling they are just squishing tables in. The worst part was the service & for a lovely Prix Fixe menu all 3 courses were served within an hour! We felt super rushed and this was frustrating as we were going to ring in the New Year. It seemed like they were hoping we would all keep drinking as we asked about champagne & they said “only 1/2 glass” for midnight. This is really unbecoming for a 600 dollar night out for 3! We will not be coming back. The rushing was so extreme that we all just enjoyed our wine & left our desserts to sit for about an hour. The food was pretty good BUT overall not the type of experience we would expect.

Amazing food, amazing server and amazing location. Only criticism I have is the presence of crying small children that ruined the ambience. My suggestion is a separate area for families with you unhappy children or even that an age limit is applied.

Our annual Christmas get together was beautiful today and enjoyed by the whole family including our grandchildren (3&6) food was delicious as usual and Michelle looked after us with a smile and attention. The other servers were also very helpful when she was busy, even getting a New Years hug from the littlest one! Thanks for a wonderful afternoon Ancaster Mill🥰
