    Food was good. Service was excellent too but the music feels like a bar instead of a restaurant. Although there is a bar, no one sat there. The table setting like a bar type instead of the fine dining restaurant. Maybe it’s not a fine dining restaurant. If you are looking for a casual dining, this is the place.

    My husband and I dined here on Christmas Eve for the Old Mill's Famous Christmas Buffet. It was excellent as always. The selection is just enormous and there's everything you could imagine. The Roast Beef and Turkey from the Hot carving station was delicious, along with Yorkshire pudding and fabulous stuffing and cranberry sauce! We never miss this buffet if we are staying at home for Christmas. A big thank you to Karen, our waitress-she is phenomenal! So personal, so attentive and just a lovely person to talk to. Thank you Karen! I look forward to celebrating my birthday tomorrow night at Disco Night at the Old Mill once again with Jay Vasquez and Groove Marmalade! The winter ala carte menu looks great as well. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow night and hello to Karen and all the wonderful dining room staff who work so hard. Cheers from Nancy and Dennis, Oakville , Ontario
