    Excellent food all around. Chilean sea bass special was light and flavorful. Everyone else ordered off the regular menu and enjoyed their meal. Server was attentive, energetic, and efficient. She brought a sample of the soup special that said spicy so we could determine if the level of spice was ok. One of my favorite restaurants in Hartford area!

    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

    Consistently good. Our only complaint is the desserts are just okay. The four people in our group generally don’t eat dessert unless we go out and we look forward to having something to end our meal. Service and dinner was awesome.
