Specials are always top notch. With seasonal appeals. With regularity my daughter and I go for dinner. I mostly order from the specials list and have not once been disappointed. Service is wonderful and the price point is so well valued for such a high end meal. Perfectly prepared fresh high quality ingredients. I've been disappointed by other places that attempt to offer high end dining. But the Mill Restaurants are always on the top of their game.

The Pond House is a gem in our community. The location, service and menu is perfect for a casual meet up. The acoustics are so bad. I have found it only works for me if there is one person to talk to so I can focus.

Service was excellent even though we were told they were short a few servers. Food was excellent, especially the original wings. Just a few items were unavailable, but no big deal. When my daughter’s food came out with cheese (when we asked for no cheese) they were very apologetic and offered to remake it. Overall a very good experience.
