Neighborhood gem

The Spring Mill Café has been serving French country fare since 1978. We're a BYO that serves lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. The historic property features the original Spring Mill general store, and the picturesque converted farmhouse. When the weather is nice, guests are invited to dine outdoors adjacent the gardens, either on the patio or on one of the porches.

It just keeps getting better! The Bastilla appetizer is a huge and gorgeous round of filo dough filled with a chicken/egg/almond mix spiced pefectly with cinnamon & turmeric. It comes on a bed of Israeli (large pearl) couscous with dried fruit and harissa, and it could have been my main course if I hadn't also been craving the cassoulet. My wife had the roasted beets first (outstanding!). Her main course (halibut) was "the best piece of fish I've ever had" - meaty but light and moist, and quite generous. Equal attention to guests and details are routine for the staff, so it was just another perfect Saturday night out.

I would rate this restaurant somewhere between outstanding and world class. The ingredients are fresh. The menu is creative. Everything is of top quality. Our waiter was the best I have ever encountered. It was if he read our minds. Dinners are expensive and worth every penny.

Always a favorite spot with friends or just for a date night. Ezra and his team, from servers to kitchen , provide a very pleasant and tasty dining experience. We have been coming up the SMC for 40 years and believe it has only gotten better with age!

We were told to leave after an hour and a half. They needed the table. We were definitely not in France.

Hello Douglas, my apologies that you felt rushed, and you are correct we do give 1.5 hours for parties of 2 or 3. This is very normal within the industry (even in France), and some restaurants similar to us give just an hour, this is especially true on Friday and Saturday nights at 7pm. But obviously you are annoyed, and in the hopes of making amends please let me know if you would like to return, and I will have a complimentary bottle of bubbly waiting for you. Sincerely, Ezra Haines

Ho Hum - just another 5 star review....but it's worth it despite the many many times we've been here. The daily special salads were huge, fresh, and excellent. My wife had the shrimp and grits for the first time (despite my urging her for a long time) and she loved them. I had the steak frites, which I almost never order - and I'm so glad I did. Most steak frites is a tough cut of meat that's not much good for anything else. But this was the same quality as the filet and absolutely the best steak frites I ever had anywhere. The meat was tender and juicy, and the fries were just right. With the same great staff and attention to detail that's part of the SMC culture, it's simply wonderful!
