My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary and were absolutely blown away. We tend to end up with less than stellar dining experiences and service, but the Brushmill was outstanding! The service was impeccable, they congratulated us on our anniversary (which was a note on the reservation) and gave us a complimentary Prosecco toast to start the evening. Our server was top notch, we never found ourselves in need of a thing.
We started with drinks after the Prosecco toast-...read full review
Amazing food and waitstaff and environment! It doesn’t get better than this!
First meal here with my husband for his birthday. The entire evening was relaxed and very delicious! We cleaned our plates and polished off a few very creative (beet!) cocktails, but the nicest part was the card for my husband that was waiting on the table when we arrived, wishing him a hand written happy birthday singed by the staff. That extra special touch was just so thoughtful. We will for sure be back- with friends!!

The Brushmill by the Waterfall offers a delightful dining experience with its contemporary, elegant, and industrial-style decor. Guests can enjoy expertly crafted cocktails, with recent reviews highlighting interesting and well-balanced options. The menu features fresh salads and entrees prepared to perfection, including bolognese, pot roast, chicken pot pie (deconstructed), and short rib, all praised for their delicious flavors and beautiful presentation. The restaurant accommodates gluten allergies with its house-made gluten-free focaccia and gluten-free bread that avoids common allergens. Guests appreciate the generous portion of lobster in the lobster eggs benedict, while the large salad with goat cheese is noted for its enormous size, using the equivalent of one container of goat cheese crumbles. The side of Brussels sprouts is recognized for its pleasant crispiness and seasoning.
The beautiful area features a quaint, covered boardwalk from the parking lot to the restaurant, overlooking waterfalls, surrounding foliage, and fauna — creating a lovely atmosphere. The historic setting adds to its charm, making the visit worthwhile just to enjoy the history of the mill. The staff is attentive, friendly, and very accommodating, always smiling and providing excellent service. Recent reviews emphasize the spectacular service and delicious food, making every visit memorable. Guests can choose to sit outside on a small patio against a rock wall, listening to the water and enjoying the ambience of the later afternoon.
