    The food was not fresh. The short ribs we had were dry and served lukewarm. Not worth the price. Although we’ve come here times in the past, i think it’s past its prime.

    The spa experience was good. Unfortunately the restaurant experience was very disappointing. There was nowhere to have a drink before dinner, not sure if that was because there was a wedding going on, or because the dinging room did not open before 5:00. The view of the waterfall from our table was mesmerizing and the staff were very welcoming. Unfortunately, the meal was disappointing and overpriced. We ordered the beef tenderloin, which came with one small carrot and one mini sliced potato. Regretfully, I would have to say that I would not come back there because of the dining experience.

    Dear Cathy, Thank you for taking the time to share the details of your most recent dining experience. Our guests' feedback is truly appreciated, and we are committed to improving our service standards. Our Headwaters Lounge is open from noon till 11 pm everyday. I am not sure if the wedding took up most of the tables at the time you arrived. It is great to hear that the staff were amazing and I will share that with my team. Please be sure that we are already taking the proper measurements to improve the dishes in the future. We hope to see you again in the near future.

    Headwaters was really lovely. We stayed at Millcroft for our anniversary as a quick overnight. The food (taste) and service was incredible. The amount of food you get for price could be improved but was really good. We were unfortunately not seated at the best table, there were bright lights shining in our faces but they did dim/turn them off when we asked. All in all, would recommend to go and experience it at least once.

    We've made reservations looking for a fine dining experience. When we arrived the manager made awkward joke about the restaurant being closed and then asked us for ID to enter. We didn't really understand him at first so we were unsure what was going on. He then let us to a table in the back corner the Ambiance was ancient it was dark it felt dingy we were then told that we could not have the restaurant menu and that we were eating from a Bistro menu off a printed piece of paper. Since we'd spend the entire day at the spa we had already had the first two snacks on the list a few hours prior. At this point we just decided to leave. I understand this is a Vintage Hotel where you are expecting things to be old but this was not old and Classic this was old and uninviting in my opinion.
