"Lovely place to stop for lunch, by the river. The restaurant is located at an actual old mill, and the whole setting is charming. Inside is cozy with a fireplace. And outside you can eat on the deck and hear the river. Every server I encountered was helpful and friendly. I ate the wagyu burger and my girlfriend enjoyed the clam chowder. Both were delicious. I'd love to come back. Exceptional."
