My server was fantastic. It was a very busy night. There were a lot of large parties. My server Eric, handled it with ease. There was a small mix up and we did not recieve our salads before our main course came out. Eric apologized profusely for the error and immediately took charge to get our salads. I personally enjoy my salad with my meal so it was no bother to me, however I do know most people don't like that. He was also on top of our drinks, before I coukd even ask he had offered refills of everything. As busy as it was I saw him scanning his tables frequently and he never disappeared unless to get food or drinks. He has been one of the best servers we have had in recent months. He should be the example for the others in the business.

Recently went to a Michelin star restaurant in Oakville, called Hexagon. We spent a fortune and came home disappointed 😔, having to eat another meal once we got home, due to the portion sizes. The Old Mill was the complete opposite experience. Fantastic in all ways!! Great food, great value, great service, and a winter wonderland atmosphere!! We spent a third of the money, and were SO MUCH happier.
