I am most reluctant to swoon over good restaurants, as most are only as good as one's last visit. And many things can ruin what is otherwise a good meal. My particular issue is how long the server takes to provide the bill; when I'm done I am anxious to get up and go. Waiting forever for a bill, or a returned credit card slip, can be as annoying as cold food--well, almost as annoying. Having eaten at the Old Mill countless times, I can say with assurance that it is one of the better restaurants in the Berkshires, and consistently so. One can eat here pleasantly time after time. White linen on the tables, an original selection of foods on the menu, all well-prepared, and often delicious, are the strong points. So is the effusive greeting of the owner, whose regular presence clearly contributes to the efficiency of the staff. And what appears to be his practice, to give diners his best - rather than worst - available table is unusual, and laudatory. But I do wish, after countless visits, he would know my name. Less strong are the prices: high 2021 all around. No reservations, so be prepared to wait, as this place is popular. But you will be called when it is your turn, one cannot buy a better place in line (as...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe have been here 9 times, we love the location, decor and general vibe. We have had amazing meals in the past and they have been very consistent. This time we were a bit disappointed. Feel like some short cuts have been put in place. I ordered the latkes with Salmon and the latkes tasted as if they were made early and not fresh, my wife has a Berkshire pork chop that was not very thick and a bit dry. Our server was not like the others in the past. My wife asked for a substitute for the red cabbage and they offered rice. She has rice and mash double starch, we feel the server should have made a better offer, or tell us it includes rice as well. I ordered a second beer and it came at the end of our meal. We feel our server could have done more to ensure a great meal and they were not very shall I say good. The owner is very proud of this location and they underwent a refresh very cozy and the addition of couches for waiting is neat. We enjoyed the plush chairs at our...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreAmazing experience. Excellent food, welcoming and attentive staff, clean and cozy environmentā¦this place has it all. My husband, 8 month old baby, and myself went to dinner here a few days ago after visiting Bash Bish Falls. Everyone was so excited to see my baby (who happens to be very well behaved at restaurants, despite the awkward stares and eye rolls we usually get going into a restaurant) but they were super welcoming and accommodating for us. Even had a high chair, not always common at upscale places. I ordered the halibut special and my husband got the tuna dish. We got the mussel appetizer too, which oh my goodness was so delicious!!! We each got a cocktail as well. Two drinks, an appetizer, mashed potatoes for the baby, the halibut and tuna entrees and bill was $119 before tip. Excellent place, highly recommend! We will definitely...
