Absolutely fantastic! I was expecting an interesting homely restaurant, but I must admit I was completely delighted with this gem! We got a seat right next to the huge windows overlooking the river. They start you with a delicious homemade cheddar cheese spread and crackers, followed by the famous relish tray. All of our meals, ranging from prime rib, to Alaskan King crab legs, to scallops were delicious. Really a very sweet and wonderfully historic restaurant. Prices were quite reasonable too.

A perfect spot for an evening Easter dinner. The Easter crowd is huge, so even a reserved table may take awhile to be seated at. About a 15 min. wait, but well worth it. If a place this old is still this popular, you have to believe they’re doing something right. Excellent atmosphere and country ambience, combined with casual service, create a relaxed experience. I had one of the best vodka martinis ever, and the food was right on our expectations. We’ve been there before, and will definitely return. Especially for those«special occasions».

We done here at least 3 times each year and love it! I rave about the prime rib and my wife almost always gets the Old Mill Chicken. Delicious! The cheese spread and relish tray mentioned in others reviews is so good. Be sure to get desert if not for there at least for take out.

On Route 8, about 9 miles from Sidney, The Old Mill is a gem of fine dining. From the warm welcome on arrival to the favoured window seats by the soft flowing Unadilla River and the complimentary cheese/biscuits/homemade bread rolls + extensive relish tray, you are spoiled for choice even before you look at the menu ! There are some traditional favourites on offer such as Chicken Old Mill which delighted my wife, though I plumped for Coconut Shrimp which was absolutely delicious. We really enjoyed our dining experience and will certainly return on our next trip. Our holiday took us from Toronto through Niagara Falls to the Finger Lakes and beyond during late August and September and dining at the Old Mill was a trip highlight.

This restaurant reminds me of my grandparents. The relish tray, while slightly disgusting, is incredible! There is always an interesting variety of things to fill up on before your dinner. The cheddar cheese spread and crackers is also a nice touch. The french onion soup is the best I’ve ever had. I usually get that AND and dinner salad, and by the time the salad rolls out I’m too stuffed to eat it! My husband has tried a variety of the dinner entrees, and they are never disappointing. This place is a great value, we usually spend less than $ 50 for dinner and drinks and end up taking a ton of food home.
