We had our Wedding at The Mill in October. We chose this venue for its size, food, atmosphere and location. It did not disappoint. Everything was amazing. Stephanie and her staff made sure our day went off without a hitch. We would highly recommend the Mill for such occasions.
Went for dinner upstairs was closed, but the downstairs pub was open. I thought it would be really expensive,but it was reasonable,I had the beef dip and my son the lamb shank. The food was excellent 👌 finished with creme brulee' was so good! Stone walls, lots of history. Service was excellent friendly staff, attentive super nice. Would go here again and would recommend, Don't let the outside deter you because it does look expensive but it's not!
I will edit the review after we have a do over. The usual manager had been on vacation the week of our reservation. Once they were back they reached out to us and have asked for a chance to correct the experience. Much better this time around. We enjoyed the food and ambiance. Steak was delicious and cooked perfectly. I loved the pear gin drink I ordered. Our server was lovely, attentive without hovering. She is a full five star for service. The only drawback was some issue with payment but we got it sorted.
Sat on the patio as dining room was closed for an event. Nice atmosphere. Shaded patio. Service was friendly but our waitress disappeared. We were first seated on the patio but people arriving 20 minutes afterwards were getting their meals and leaving when our food finally arrived. The waitress in the other section was doing a good job, I asked where our waitress was and she said she was prepping for an event on the lower level. After enlisting the help of the second waitress our food arrived. Veggie bean burger was spiced too hot(not sure if this was noted as hot on menu). Beef dip was good although the bun was a little crunchy. Caesar salad had no flavour and seemed like it was possibly sitting in dressing for too long before serving. Disappointed. I hope this was just a one time failure. Left a tip regardless of poor service as I feel this was more of a management misuse of staff. Hopefully the owners will look at improving the Caesar salad.
Attended wedding at this venue, it was beautiful! This is a golf course, but the main restaurant building is fantastic! Staff friendly, grounds and gardens are as well. Lots of history there!
The Mill Restaurant was a nice experience. Staff were friendly, nice atmosphere, food was very good, especially the lamb shank.
Amazing! I had my wedding at The Mill in August 2023, and we had the most incredible experience from start to finish. The location was perfect, and the restaurant, pub, lounge and golf course are beautiful and well suited our needs. Stephanie and Katie were amazing to work with, easy to communicate with and truly made my wedding visions come alive! On the night of, the staff was fantastic, food was amazing and the day ran so smoothly. I wouldn't change a thing and am so thankful that we have such an incredible local venue. I could go on and on. Thank you all!
We had a beautiful and delicious evening celebrating a marriage in the family - it was beyond special and I will never forget it. The food was delicious and the staff were very accommodating even though they were crazy-busy with our large group upstairs and another large party downstairs. There’s no elevator - if planning for someone with accessibility struggles, plan for the ground floor. There IS a wheelchair ramp and steps to enter the building.
Quaint
Great place for your wedding reception
Great prime rib. Delicious butterscotch creme brûlée BUT the acoustics are so horrible its extremely difficult to carry on a conversation.
Our go to place for great prime rib after Friday afternoon golf matches
Service was terrible slow. Trying to order desert from waitress someone put their body and arm write across in front of me and took dirty plates. My sandwich was soggy on one side like Melba toast on the other. Ceaser Salad had very little dressing and tasteless. We paid $94.00 we live in Cobourg and we re very disappointed . Parking: Lots of parking
The Prime ribs were particularly good. The atmosphere and service were impeccable.
My wife and I enjoyed a very good lunch, on the Patio, at the Mill Restaurant, yesterday. The Patio is very spacious and well shaded, for an afternoon lunch or drink. My wife thoroughly appreciated her tasty hamburger, while I was very pleased with the generous portion of meat, in my Reuben Sandwich. Furthermore, I must point out how impressed we were with our Server, Connor. He was very friendly and quite knowledgeable of the offerings on the menu. I highly recommend you try The Mill for lunch. Best of all, you dont even have to golf, first! Herb T.
Meals are always great, was very disappointed with the dead plants inside between the tables.
We used th Mill in May 2024 for a wedding and could not be happier. The food was excellent the staff was so helpful. Would highly recommend you will not be disappointed.
Great food, excellent service, wonderful environment
Great staff great food would definitely go back again!!!
visit: may 17, 2024 finally! after years of procrastination-i got to try the mill! loved the food! Food
Fun time, great service.
Such a wonderful, relaxing, scenic place to sit with friends and enjoy great food!
Excellent dinner, service, and atmosphere. We would highly recommend !
My sister recently had her wedding at the Mill and it was everything we had envisioned for her day. We had an intimate group in their Loft space which was the perfect size and ambiance for us. We worked with one of the Mills employees, Steph Davidson , to plan the wedding beforehand and she also executed the evenings food and beverage service for us. She was wonderful to work with and had all the details taken care of. The food, service, decor and overall experience was one we would highly suggest to anyone looking to hold an event in Cobourg!
Great Prime Rib special. Very good lemon merengue tart for 2
Very quaint setting. Really friendly and efficient staff in a great old mill setting. Great daily specials all well priced. Menu has something for everyone.
The atmosphere was good if you were in the dining room. Unfortunately even though we had a reservation there was nothing available in the dining room and we were directed to the downstairs bar where it was very cold. The food was ok but it was not a very pleasant experience.
Lower level not easy to access or egress for patrons with motility issues. Prepaid meal, tip and tax priced okay. Captive bar rates seemed excessive.
We dined the week between Christmas and New Years in the pub. The restaurant was booked for a private event. We thought it might be too much for the staff to cover both areas, boy, were we wrong. Absolutely stellar service and a delicious meal. We stayed much longer than we anticipated because we were having such a good time. Staff went beyond to ensure we were comfortable. Highly highly recommend. :)
Very quiet and inviting space. Food was affordably priced and so delicious. Will be returning from Oshawa.
Room was used for a Celebration of Life. Very Cordial staff. Parking: A large gathering for our event meant limited parking however vehicles seemed to come and go very steadily. Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to enter and exit the building. Wide doorways allowing for easy movement for wheelchairs, walkers, canes or crutches.
Always good here
Roasted tomato and red pepper soup, try it with a bit of parm and pesto!
Excellent food. Lovely staff. Great view. Treat yourself.
Love this restaurant/pub/golf course. The food is always great and the staff are amazing. So friendly and welcoming!
abby was lovely!! it seems like she s always handling everyyyyyyything! they definitely need to hire more staff so not one single waiter is serving an entire restaurant by themself
The food is excellent
Spicy Caesar wings are really good!
Lunch was exceptional.
Absolutely great food and service
Golf tournament for Della Divot fundraising in memory of Della Taylor. The staff were more than amazing, organized, helpful, and made the day perfect. Thank-you
Our family came from out of town so thought the Mill would be a perfect place for our last meal as it has always been the best place in town I was so embarrased to have brought them there. The music downstairs was old country and loud as was the party in the room diectly behind us We were unable to hear each other The food was also below average I was very disappointed and would not recommend it
A local owned and operated business that my family loves to frequent. Friendly staff, amazing food and the best atmosphere in town! If you haven t been, I highly recommend going to experience this local gem!
The Mill has been a staple in this community for decades and for good reason! - The food is fantastic - a menu carefully thought out for everyone in your family. Prices are great! - ladies league is an absolute blast! - having an event? This team takes care of every detail with the utmost respect and consideration. All around absolute 10/10
The Mill is a great place to have a family meal or even go out with your friends. The food was great as well as the service.
Best patio in town! Love the atmosphere and always have great service. The food is amazing. The flatbread is my favourite and bruschetta is awesome. Great summer menu options. Live music on Thursdays is always a great environment and lots of fun!
The Mill is our go-to! We took the kids for some golf yesterday and had a nice meal after in the pub! The kids love the chicken fingers and fries and we had the pulled pork tacos which were awesome! The staff is always super friendly and helpful!
Welcoming, friendly, and always a great atmosphere at the Mill. The food and service is top notch! Highly recommend for date night, girls night or family night. Patio and live music is always enjoyable. A Cobourg must visit
First time here and will definitely be back again soon! Had the Buddha bowl and chocolate lava cake with ice cream for dessert. Sat outside on the lovely patio and had great service.
Great service and good atmosphere. However a relative was hit in the knee with an errant golf ball while sitting at the end of the balcony. Protective netting should be installed immediately. Due to the incident the whole meal was compet for the 6 of us from the GM. Thxs very much.
Our waitress Chloe was fabulous! They have renovated the place since I have been in and have done a great job. Food was amazing! Overall fantastic experience. Also got some info about the upstairs to rent and seems really reasonable and very nice upstairs. May look into it one day for sure!
Great food and golf course, food was fresh and hot, service was great. Golf course is well maintained.
Good all around
Lovely place for lunch, especially on the covered deck. Warm and friendly service with an appealing menu. The veggie flatbread was excellent, and very filling. There is ample outdoor parking, with wheelchair or rollator/walker access. Reasonable prices. Vegetarian options: A number of vegetarian options Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access to the covered deck in the back or through the main entrance facing the parking lot.
I had out of town guests and had sent them the link to see if there was food that they liked. The menu on the website doesnt indicate that there is a separate smaller menu on Sundays. Although the food was ok , it wasnt what my guests had decided on. Also, there is no indication that the main door near the parking area wasnt open. One guest has a serious mobility issue and had to walk a considerable way to enter the restaurant. Better signage is needed so people can park closer to the entrance being used. We will not be returning.
Went to a small wedding here. Outstanding food!! Nice venue but a little cramped for the number of people that there was, definitely recommend this place!
Lovely deck and dinner.
Veggie flatbread was really good!
Excellent staff, service and food. Clean and bright. Beautiful place and location.
Well groomed course. Challenging. Atmosphere very nice
Service was non existent. We had a large group for dinner after 9 holes of golf. Food was good, but not great. Bartender had to keep leaving to help the waitress deliver the dinners 4 plates at a time. The organizer of our group (35 guests) personally took the food orders from all tables.
Nice and tasty food !
Sincerely enjoyed our lunch. Really friendly service (I mean it!), food was better than typical pub experience, great space. We ll be back soon!
Prime rib was amazing.....curry gquash gnocchi was so good. It would be nice to end my meal with a good coffee cappuccino or late, unfortunately you dont have the means.....
Three long time girlfriends getting together for a nice meal and lots of conversation. We arrived by 5pm and ordered a beverage while deciding our meal choices. Our server, Brandon, was very good answering our many questions since it was our first time here. We were not rushed at all, very relaxing atmosphere. Our appetizer was tasty and the main meals very good too. If our water glasses were getting low or coffee was finished, our server was there refiling. All in all, we are happy to have discovered The Mill and definitely will return.
Flavors amazing, portion perfect, server made the night
Enjoyed a birthday luncheon with a small group of family members. Service and food was excellent . Parking: We arrived for a mid-day lunch so had no problem finding a parking spot.
I went to an event in the upstairs loft space recently and had an incredible time. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The Atmosphere was bright and inviting with lots of space to mingle. Overall we just had a fantastic event. Thank you!
We had an amazing experience at the Mill for our staff holiday party. Organizing the event was very easy and The Mill staff were very organized. The room was ready when we arrived and the service and food were both excellent. Highly recommend for all events!
Relatively new to the area so I havent eaten here yet, but we just came back from the hot chocolate and smores walk and it was really nice. The host was friendly and accommodating and it was a fun outing when so many things are unavailable.
The Bouillabaisse was to die for. Not a lot in size but delicious.
Very restricted hours. The place closes before 7 pm. Many people are wrapping up their last business meetings/ calls at 6:30.
Great service and a excellent patio !
Nice venue
Been waiting to to dine in again, the wait was worth it.
Lovely setting. We ate outside and it was a little cool. Service was good.
Great location, great staff, amazing food!!
This is a great venue for an outdoor wedding. Our sons wedding was held at The Mill in May 2022. The grounds are beautiful; patio is very nice; and indoor seating is great. The meals were delicious. Staff was very accommodating and not even the big thunderstorm disrupted plans. Everyone had a wonderful time.
Had my wedding dinner upstairs. It was a lovely experience and our server gentleman was amazing
Celebrated my friend s Birthday with lunch. Shared the Goat Cheese flatbread- delicious. Will show photo.
Were from out of town. Stopped in, had a beer, some crispy spring rolls and EXCELLENT crab cakes. Id return here just for them. Thanks... Service was very attentive, the building, surrounding area looked lovely. I can see why its a great location for a wedding reception.
Our party of 8 (started out as 6 but staff handled the change with no problem) had fabulous food and service last night. All meals were delicious and the staff were great. We ate downstairs in the pub area and couldnt have asked for a nicer experience. Thanks so much guys for all your hard work!
We recently had our wedding at The Mill. The event coordinator Stephanie is simply amazing!!!! She was so organized, experienced and overall an amazing person to work with! Stephanie / Amelia (GM) and the staff were so wonderful throughout this whole experience! The food was OMG delicious and the venue was perfect for our day!!! We cannot thank you enough for letting us take the day to decorate, arrange and have such a wonderful experience!!!!! Definitely would Recommend for any event!!!!
We were a group of 9 old friends who met for lunch. The venue is cozy and we were there on a blustery winter day but we re nice and warm. The local craft beer was tasty and our meals were delicious. I had a hamburger and fries and both were excellent. Crispy hand cut fries and a generously sized burger made from beef locally sourced. The fries were cooked well and the burger had enough fat content to make it delicious. Other people had the beef dip, fish and chips and a chicken club sandwich. All excellent. My wife had the fish and chips and couldn t eat it al. Our derive was great and our server Brook was outstanding. All in all a happy bunch.
We got married here in October 2022! Stephanie and Amelia were so incredible to work with, they made the planning process a breeze. The day of, Amelia worked her magic and brought everything together perfectly. We have had so many of our guests tell us how much they enjoyed their meal, how beautiful the layout and decor was, how great the bartender was! and overall just how much fun they had the whole time. We re so glad we chose The Mill for our venue. Highly recommend!
It was extremely loud !! Not much of an atmosphere inside
Vegetarian options: I had the mushroom pilaf. It was very good, but should have been served with a side of vegetables like all of their other entrees Food
Visited for a company holiday party, atmosphere was festive, food was delicious, well seasoned and presentation was well done.
We just had our small wedding at The Mill. Amelia, the manager was sweet and helpful. Planning the wedding there was made easy and laid back. We love the ambience too. Dinner tasted great! The staff was very friendly. Were looking forward to going back for date nights and the patio!
Terrible service. Poor girl was run off her feet.
We recently had our wedding at the Mill and Amelia and the staff were so helpful and supportive through different iterations of pandemic wedding planning and last-minute weather considerations. The Maple Grove was a dreamy ceremony space and the champagne reception went smoothly without a hitch. We appreciate the flexibility of everyone at The Mill and thank them for providing a wonderful venue for our special day.
We had wings to start and 3 different mains. The wings were good, the one fish and chip dinner had some soggy mushy fish, the other was good, crab cakes were ok but the hamburger was a disaster. Emily is a good server and treated us well. The food was no better this time than it was a few years ago when we visited Cobourg. We may golf there again and possibly have drinks but no food.
Great service Great food Great view.
Great outdoor patio beside the golf course, well prepared food, but very limited menu.
The staff are what makes this place worth returning time after time. Always great service, consistently delicious food, in a charming atmosphere. Whether you re on the large, scenic patio, the lower level pub, or dining room overlooking the golf course, it s worthwhile.
Lovely staff and great food, especially the crab cakes. The negative review is from an ignorant conspiracy theorist and is completely irrelevant to the golf course/restaurant/bar. My husband books work lunches here regularly and its always great.
Server was awesome
Food was really good had the fish and chips
Beautiful patio with great food and service
Ordered from the lunch menu & the burger & fries were great. Was good to have meal arrive hot. Buffalo wrap was tasty as well & loaded with chicken.
If youre looking for a venue to get married or host a private event, book The Mill! Amelia and her team are professional, reliable and down-to-earth. Our wedding was the best day ever! The food was delicious, the drinks were amazing, and the picturesque setting was more than I could have ever dreamed of.
Delicious daily pasta special. Good portions. Great customer service from our server.
Adequate food selection, great beer selection. Waiting staff was adequate. Fish and chips were ok others enjoyed their selections. Nice spot just a little something not there.
Had our company Christmas party there last evening. It was busy and we were a large crowd of 23. The food was excellent, the decor was lovely and festive. Shout out to our servers, I wish I had gotten their names, but they could not have done a better job. Thank you for helping make this a great night! Merry Christmas to you all!
Excellent party.
Bad service & less than avarage food
Awesome wedding last night! Service was great, food incredible and wonderful atmosphere.
The food and service were exceptional. The price for some items can be a little to much. For example a burger with lettuce tomato onion and fries is $16.00. If you want to add fried onions, cheese or bacon each item is $2.00. That said everytime we have been to this location the food and service always exceeds expectations.
Always liked the Mill, especially the pub in the basement. Barking Squirrel on tap is a big plus.
I have visited The Mill twice now and I felt the need to write a review about this lovely restaurant. When you walk in you are greeted right away with a welcoming warm energy. The service was great and the food was fresh and delicious. I also loved the style of the building.
Went here for a wedding. The place was amazing. The service was great. I felt at home and well cared for.
Really excellent food and atmo.
food choice is small, quality is so-so. Service pretty good
Great food and pleasant surface and comfortable setting
Good food and great service wish they had a hot dog on the menu
This place is located right next to a golf course. Grounds are beautiful. There is plenty of outdoor patio space with an upper deck (at ground level) and a lower patio area. Food is delicious but br prepared to wait for about an hour till you get your meal. I had the Farm Burger and with Sweet potato fries but I reccomend ordering the fresh cut home fries. Also recommend shaved roast beef in a bun. Ample parking available.
Fish and chips were great
Great staff!!!!!
Fantastic farm to table burger. Cooked to perfection and perfectly seasoned. Nice atmosphere and great service
Perfect
Good spacing on the patio, and good food but a much reduced menu.
They have a delicious chicken wrap at lunchtime. The patio is nice and spacious.
Great fast lunch; small and easy menu. The server was great! Would definitely go again.
Attended a wedding there recently. Beautiful setting and outstanding service.
Great service, great food and atmosphere!
Great food and staff
One of the finest patio experience in Ontario. Drinks and food is amazing, especially with sprawling green area pond in background.
BEST burger in town. The beef they use is unreal. Really good sangria and outdoor patio spaces. Cool, old building too.
We had made a reservation for 730 and were infoed that food orders would only be taken until 8, which we didnt mind, but good to be aware of. Service was pleasant, however when asked if we could add garlic to a pasta dish, we were told that the kitchen was too busy to accommodate modifications; which we thought was strange since we were the last table seated that night, and more so since the request was simple with just a bit of garlic. Moving on, the summer salad we ordered was fresh, good flavor, generously portioned, however, the other appetizers we ordered (crab quesadilla and pork carnitas) were a joke, poorly presented (especially the crab quesadilla) and lacked any flavor whatsoever. The grounds of the restaurant are beautiful, and once again service was friendly and prompt, just dont expect amazing food for the price. Nachos were good.
I think I just had the best Mac and Cheese in my entire life. Beautiful setting. Excellent staff.
Good food good service
Excellent food and fantastic service! Love stopping in here.
Good food. Poor bartending services
Great Band the other night at the Pub,Mulligan Time.we enjoyed dinner and some Great, fun entertainment.
Saturdays Prime Rib night...very tender
Great food and an amazing atmosphere. The pub in the basement really high-lights the old building. Very cool!
Very nice
Very nice place we had their lovely cheese and meat plate and a couple of nice local beers.
Great service, nice atmosphere, had the schnitzle and Salmon and it was cooked perfectly
Relaxed ambiance, excellent service
We love there and so do my friends . Oh and the barking squirrel beer.
I go here often for Business meetings. The service is great and very friendly. Definitely would recommend.
A quality eatery in an historic building.
Quite good
Very nice lunch today at The Mill dining room. Food was very good and our server was very friendly and attentive.
Held a wedding ceremony and reception here. Booking and setting up here was fantastic. The food the day of was delicious and the options provided made sure that there was something for everyone. The staff provided by the venue went above and beyond what they were asked to do. Would highly recommend booking events here.
Good food and staff, great place to use for meetings and banquets
Was there for a large group meal. One of our party was missed with her meal and it took at least 15 minutes for her meal to come. Everyone else was finishing their meal and dessert was served almost immediately upon receiving her meal. Coffee and tea were both served with dessert but a long time afterward. And no refills were offered. The steak and chicken meals were both good tasting and texture was nice for a group meal. My place setting only had a salad fork at it. Overall experience was probably about 3 1/2 star.
We just started going and the food and service is top notch!!
Our server was very pleasant and attentive. Food was delicious . atmosphere in dining room was nice and tranquil .the view is beautiful too.
My daughter and her fiance are booking for their wedding. Beautiful venue!
Best food in Cobourg
