The Mill in New Glasgow — Restaurant in New Glasgow

Absolutely furious about the way my guests from Ontario and I were treated by the staff last evening, I asked 3 weeks ago when I stopped by to make the reservation for a table for 3 by the window in the dining room, no sorry we can’t do that those are for groups of 4, we did not get a table by the window but while we were waiting for our order two other couples of two were given a table for 4 by the window. While we we’re waiting we asked if the air conditioning which was blasting cold air on us and our table could be turned down, that lasted about 10 minutes then turned on again so we sat shivering at our table, the table beside us were so cold they went out to their cars to get jackets and sweaters. When the food arrived I asked if the AC could be turned down again while we ate, this request was met with a sour face from our server. Then half way through the meal I was asked to move my car because I was blocking the side lane way which It was not, I made sure of that when I parked, the two cars that arrived after me were blocking it. Ever heard of no parking signs??? Then we were asked if we wanted dessert, I said no we would pick something up on the way home so we could leave. Food was great, service and staff a 1 out of 10. Wake up staff and Chef no excuse for this type of attitude. I was telling my guests how great the Mill was!!!. I will never go back to the Mill or ever recommended it to anyone again.

I forgot to take any pictures but the food here was amazing! I had the Carrot and Ginger Soup and the Ribs and Mac & Cheese as my main. The soup was delicious as was my main. The main came with a salad as well and the dressing was excellent (and I don't normally like salad dressing). I took most of my ribs and half my mac & cheese home. My husband had the Asian Mussels which he really enjoyed and found to be a really unique flavour combination. He also had the Pad Thai which was another very generous portion size, he felt it could have been a bit hotter but still enjoyed it. My dinner companion both had the salmon special which was also a hit. For appetizers one of the had the Classic Mussels which they loved as much as my husband loved his Asian version and the other had the Lamb and Feta Meatballs which she said were excellent. We will definitely be back and bring any foodie friends who visit the Island here. I will say we were originally seated upstairs which was pretty warm but luckily we were able to be moved downstairs when we asked - just something to keep in mind if you are booking. The service was excellent - everyone was very attentive in terms of refilling drinks and water, clearing plate and so forth and also very friendly. Great experience and I...

Nice enough place. Food was quite good. However we had a not-so-good experience. We each ordered a salad. These were very large. We could have shared one. But we like salad so no big deal. The dinners (steak/fish) were listed with sides of "local mixed greens" and potatoes. Typically dinners have cooked vegetables on the side. I (wrongly) assumed the mixed greens were cooked green vegetables. It turns out they were side salads - more of what we had already eaten! I asked the waitress why she didn't point this out when we made the order. She said "Oh usually I do, but people end up getting the salad anyway." I found that difficult to believe. I cannot see how anyone would order and eat that much salad. We thought her response was flippant. We complained a second time saying "These salads costed us $20." We would have ordered soups instead. In response, she offered us free dessert which were good desserts (plus a little dark chocolate). So this ups the ratings from 1 star. However we should not have had to complain twice and likely, we would have ordered only one dessert and a different appetizer. So to us, the matter was partially resolved. Also I suggest they change their menu to be clear that "local mixed...
