Was here for a reserved dinner buffet style for 22 people for my brother's wedding rehearsal dinner.The drinks were awesome. Well made and you could tell it was an experienced bartender.The main course and side dishes were top-notch notch delicious. Before I continue let me just say I am SUPER picky about food. There was chicken breast with a type of Cranberry stuffing that was amazing chicken was tender and moist and the stuffing was so delicious. There was Fish with a type of stuffing that was awesome fish was tender flaky and perfectly cooked. There was a steak tip dish but I did not try it however the rest of the party all said it was very delicious. The side dishes were mixed green salad, baby oven-roasted seasoned potatoes, and oven-roasted mixed vegetables broccoli cauliflower, etc. I had the salad and baby potatoes and both were fantastic. There was only one type of salad dressing it was a creamy balsamic and it was absolutely delicious only wish there were a couple of different choices and there were no croutons but these are just personal preferences.Now onto dessert...there was regular cheesecake chocolate cheesecake and apple streusel. The regular cheesecake was ok but the chocolate cheesecake was yucky and the apple streusel was horrible. I could not even eat it and my father who eats just about anything couldnt eat it either. Mind you I love everything apple and apple streusel is my favorite. I've had some not great apple streusel but this was the worst I've ever had.Our waitress was fantastic.The atmosphere was really nice.It was not extremely clean but I'm a clean freak so things bother me like dust on light shades and on window sills where I'm eating.
Parking: Parking was extremely difficult. We had to drive around again and again and again and again and again before we spotted a car pulling out of a parking spot and then it was like piranha fighting over the spot so at this point we were late for the dinner even though we arrived 20 mins early. Also if you don't know where the entrance to the restaurant is it will take a bit for you to find because it sits way off the road in the mill building and the sign is small and not easy to see from the street.
Great service, seemed like a nice place for groups.The menu boasts they have the best smash burger in Dover, so I was excited to try it. What was brought out…well let’s just say it was a poorly seasoned double cheeseburger, no smash to be found. We also tried the chicken sandwich which was just OK. The highlight was honestly the fried zucchini appetizer.Bottom line—If you want a good smash burger in Dover, go to Sonny’s, because this ain’t it.

Second time trying this restaurant in the past several months. Same thing as the first time. The server starts with, sorry, super short staffed tonight. I'm one of two servers, only one bartender, but thanks for coming in. Lol. There were five of 5 of us. After two of us ordered the sirloin, we were then told out of steak what else would you like when they came back from the kitchen. Took forever to get a drink, forever. It's on the pricier side, so you are definitely overpaying for what you get.

Service was slow due to the fact that they were short staffed. Took over 20 minutes to get first round of drinks. Ordered appetizers - chicken lettuce wrap were gross. Ground meat that tasted like meat pie filling. :( Tuna sashimi was not sushi grade and small portion. 2nd round of drinks took another 20 minutes - waitress then informs us that the strip steak was 86'd (this is 30 minutes AFTER we placed the order) - but we could order a ribeye for a $5 upcharge. :\ Food was delivered to 3 out of 4 at our table. 20+ minutes later - when they had all finished their meal - the ribeye was finally delivered. The saving grace was that the chef said the steak was on the house. 3 stars at best. The waitress worked hard so kudos to her. In zero rush to go back.

First the atmosphere and the service are fantastic. Unfortunately, the food has taken a bit of a hit over the last few years. It's just not as good as it was and it's a real bummer.

I don’t usually write reviews but, this place deserves it.First timer there (12/17/23)Great food, atmosphere and prices!Ask for the manager Jeremiah, he’s a down to earth kind of guy with a touch of the Boston background……and tell him you got his name from the retired Ironworker, he’ll know who you’re talking about. ?Definitely give this place a 2 thumbs up!? ?Hope this review helps when you are out deciding where to wine and dine, give it a shot!I think they might even be considering a little music soon which would really make the place pop!

Excellent food. Lovely atmosphere. I had salmon and the kids had mac and pizza. We ordered apps and they brewed us fresh coffee. Will definitely go again.
Kid-friendliness: They didn’t have milk, but they got the kids apple cider and it was a hit!
Service was fine. The food, though was terrible. I got the scallops risotto, and the scallops were cooked to death and the risotto somehow was undercooked and a giant cold sticky glob. Poke bowl was fine. We told the waiter who didn't take it off our tab. We ended up leaving and getting a burger around the corner. The window sills next to the hightops are filthy from ceiling and brick dust.

Excellent service and the ambiance woody, nice light and conducive for conversation with friends. 5 of us ate starters and main course with the consensus that the food was good to very good.

This has been the absolute worst expierence of my life we got here at 445 with our 2 kids to eat dinner. First i asked for a shipyard pumpkin head with the rim and he brings me out a beer with just plain white sugar on it. I ask and he goes i could do that but id end up throwing out a lot of sugar... im like ??? Then Our kids dinner came out around 515 and it's 600 and my husband and I still have not gotten our dinner. So, now our kids are done eating and we haven't even started. The whole expierence was terrible
