Amazing little place that was cute for a date night. Quiet enough to chat but had a nice vibe about it - food was great, crab pasta was amazing and staff were always attentive.

Amazing Food & Service. A little on the pricy side for mains so I would definitely get the $55 feed me special next time. Chili Crab Spaghetti was divine and I don't typically order seafood.

We went to The Mill on Hardware Lane with a group of friends for dinner last night and it was a wonderful experience! The food was amazing and the service was absolutely outstanding. David was incredibly friendly, highly attentive, and looked after our group perfectly. He went above and beyond by taking photos for us and even organized complimentary cake to celebrate birthday of two members of our group. Delicious food, Incredible hospitality, great atmosphere, and wonderful service. Thank you, David and Team! We will definitely be back. Nisha
