Great food - we had wagyu meatballs, mushroom soup, shrimp avocado salad as appetizers & black cod, lobster & shrimp pasta special & organic salmon as entrées. Everything was excellent. We ended with pavlova & key lime pie with Spanish coffee. Busy & noisy restaurant.

Never a disappointment - eating at The Old Mill. So many food choices, one is never without anything to eat! Always enjoyed the seafood station, but today's beef rib was so fall off the bone! Too, the staff is always very attentive and pleasant. This is where we go when we have out of towners. Love it!
