    I celebrated my birthday at the Old Mill on December 28th. Their new winter menu is delicious! My husband and I shared the Charcuterie board first, followed my Prime Rib for myself and Dennis had the salmon. Both entrees were cooked perfectly. We were lucky enough to have Karen again as our server who is so lovely, friendly and what a great sense of humour! Thank you Karen for making my birthday so special- I was so surprised with the lovely birthday dessert-that made the evening! It was Disco Night with Jay Vasquez and Groove Marmalade-our favourite band at the Old Mill. Danced the night away! So thank you to Karen and all of the wonderful restaurant staff who work so hard. It was nice to see Irene the CFO when we checked in. I love the Old Mill -we were there just 4 days ago for the Christmas Eve Buffet which is outstanding and we try to come for as many Dining and Dancing Nights as possible. Looking forward to the new Entertainment schedule in the New Year! Regards, Nancy and Dennis from Oakville.

    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.
