The Mill Pub — Restaurant in Quesnel

Valentine’s Day Made reservations for the Marsh. Drove from out of town. There were no reso under our name . Sent to the Mill . Waited awhile to get a table . Waited 15 mins for a drink . Ordered steak frites for appetizer. There was 10 fries. If that . In a dish about the size of a gravy bowl . All raw. Limp and cold . The parm cheese was just all over the bottom . Not on fries at all .cane with a side of weird green sauce . That tasted awful and cold. Was I to put it on the fries ?! The steak ?! Just yuck . With a side of steak so chewy . I chewed for 2 mins. put it back on the plate . You couldn’t even tell which piece was chewed . After an hour I was told . No stuffed chicken. Ok. Guess I’ll have duck .. another 40 mins later . No duck . I didn’t end up eating anything . I ended up sharing my husbands salmon . Which was over cooked and cold . With a side of cold shrimp . 4 for 28$ !! The entire meal was awful . We had no alcohol . They charged full price for everything . From start to finish our meal took 2.5 hours. There were patrons all around us not happy with their meals at all…the couple decide us had wilted skimpy lettuce in their salad . The couple had bison and steak frittes also . Their bison was so overcooked . It was awful . They had ordered chicken as well and were later told no That what an absolute cluster . Those poor waitresses . Not a great...

We’ve always loved The Mill — the service, food, and atmosphere are consistently excellent. That said, I feel it's important to share feedback from a recent visit that left my family hesitant to return.

We ordered the smoked ribeye special at $65. About 15 minutes later, our server let us know they had run out of ribeye and would be substituting striploin instead. We were fine with the switch — things happen — but were surprised that the price remained unchanged at $65.

While we generally find The Mill to be fairly priced, charging the same amount for a different, less premium cut just didn’t sit right. It was disappointing, and I do think it’s worth mentioning. A quick adjustment or even an acknowledgment of the price difference would’ve made a big difference.

**The Mill totally made this right, ...

My husband and I are visiting from out of town and this was nearby.

The food is not good. In another review response the owner insists " food is made from scratch" and they either don't know what that means or are flat out lying.

This means that you peel and cut your own potatoes, you mince your own meat or at the VERY LEAST don't use frozen patties, you cut and wash all of your vegetables instead of using anything prepackaged, your desserts aren't coming frozen from a box, basically the word 'frozen' should not exist in your restaurant unless you're talking about ice, your sauces and dressings are whisked by hand and not delivered in big jugs.

Just the fact that they try to make you think their food is made from scratch to justify their prices is insane and an insult to...
