The Mill Steakhouse and Wine Bar — Restaurant in Sault Ste. Marie

Huge disappointment! Giving stars because they did gluten free pretty well. Service was acceptable. Server was just serving not talking. I asked if something could be done gf and she didn't come back.. She just put the appetizer order in to get it. Finally flagged her down and asked if she ever found out if it was a possibility for me to eat... She said oh... Yes . So I just ordered it for you. That surprised us. Ok so we went with that. It was pretty good but the flat bread that came with it.. though gf..totally burnt. It being a steak house, I ordered the steak and mashed potatoes. Steak medium rare. 41.00 6oz tenderloin wrapped in bacon. (Well it was our anniversary so splurge) husband says.. Where's the bacon wrap. The bacon was a tiny string you couldn't see or taste. The medium rare was more medium well done and nearly as tough as shoe leather. Didn't give me a steak knife to cut it.. So just a regular table knife...sawing on the thing trying not to shake the whole table while cutting it. It was also heavily coated in salt and pepper. So it was super salty and way more pepper than I could stand. The veggies were totally over cooked mushy and gross. The potatoes were like a stiff glue and they were supposed to be garlic and cheese mashed potatoes. However I couldn't taste the garlic and barely cheese. They also served a salad. It was a Greek salad. It was ok but seemed a bit olive heavy. It was big for a side salad. Then with all the open tables in the place... They sat everyone that came in when we were there right together. Crowded us all in one corner. Still dealing with covid people.. Spread us out a little if you can. So to top it off the bill was huge for the terrible evening and food. Won't go back. Wish I hadn't gone in the first place. Didn't finish my steak, potatoes or veggies. Didn't bring them home with me. Btw... The choices for wine by the glass are meager. Do yourself a favor and...

Went in to celebrate our anniversary with a nice dinner and they did not dissapoint.

Our order: Reisling, white wine Rye and Coke Maple Walnut Brie 8oz Top Sirloin, mashed, veg, ceaser salad 10oz Ribeye, fries, veg, ceaser salad

The wine was a nice selection, the house Rye is a Wisers and not as sweet as I like (crown, jack ect) but that's my fault for not asking.

The Brie. OMG the Brie!! It's a must order and a fantastic change from the usual fruit sauces. It comes with a hard bread and a soft bread. The little things that matter, there was more than enough bread for the cheese, we didn't have to ask for extras.

The salad came out early and was a meal in it's own. A light dressing, tons of bacon and lots of big flakes of parm. It was also served with a warm cornbread and whipped butter that was to die for.

The mains, no complaints at all. Generous portions all around, well cooked veg and starches. The rib eye was so juicy and tender the first few bites could have been taken off the steak by simply pulling them off the cut; no knife required. Both steaks came cooked perfectly to order.

They offered a cornbread refill part way through our meal but we declined as we where filling up quick. Water came in a large bottle and was refilled when emptied.

Staff was very accomadating and even cleaned out a booth and switched us for a more private seating. Atmosphere was great, birthday dinners, business meetings, small intimate tables too. We really liked the stone wall and exposed celling.

Could there be more? Attention to detail, they use the good bath and body soap in bathrooms; not cheap bulk brand soaps.

Seriously, go here. I travel through from southern Ontario to Northwestern Ontario regularly and usually pick which route based on seeing and trying new places. I may change that to visit here everytime I...

We were too famished to take pictures, but we can say the food arrived in generous portions and cooked as we like it. Prime Rib medium, excellent and OMG the size of the Yorkshire Pudding was truly epic and what it should look like, not like the ones one buys frozen. Blackened Rainbow Trout was described to come with a drizzled butter but with my garlic allergies I needed to be sure there wasn't any garlic in it, so it arrived without it and still tasted perfect! And if you like beets, and they have their beet salad available as the starter for your entrée, do get it. It's not like the diced ones you get at a deli counter, it's perfectly seasoned with red and yellow beets, I would go back just to have this salad! I can't say enough about the service, we were well tended-to without attention going overboard, which we prefer. In the past we've had other restaurants push extras on us and never took the first no, this place not only made us feel welcome but also respected as customers. This was our first time at the Mill Steakhouse, and it rivals any similar restaurant we've eaten at in the GTHA while we lived there. Pricing is good to fair, we didn't have any appetizers nor alcohol and the bill came in at just over$80 and we can both say it was worth it, so much food I even took a doggy bag home for later. Highly recommended, for any tourists reading this review, it won't disappoint if you're looking for a fine meal and dining experience. The ONLY thing I would suggest is the walls are lacking in decor and we were only mildly disappointed that there weren't like sepia prints of what the mill used to look like or what they did there before St. Mary’s went out of business. It would perfect since the woodwork is cleaned up and exposed where clientele get a sense of the place, but not enough...
