I’m visiting the city for work and lucked out to find a restaurant with a jazz band too. I only had a couple of appetizers and it was pretty good….no real complaints. My Manhattan was A+ and the band was outstanding!! I sat at the bar and the service there was very attentive. I liked the vibe so much that I plan to bring some of my team for dinner here.

New Mill has always been our favorite. The decoration's were absolutely gorgeous for the holiday season. I was a bit disappointed in our server. He was not attentive and did not come back to see how our dinner was. I had to have someone find him. A bit arrogant too. Certainly not the norm but hopefully New Mill will see this without naming anyone's name they know who he is. We've been going here for years and their servers have been just wonderful! Their Pork Chop among other incredible dishes is our favorite and the portions are very generous. Can't wait to go back to my favorite restaurant!! Anonymous
