We always have an excellent experience at The Elora Mill. The food quality is exceptional and extremely safe for allergies. The ambience is perfect and the staff couldn't be more accommodating. Our server Liz was fantastic, so friendly and knowledgeable. She helped make our daughter's birthday very special. Highly recommend dining at The Elora Mill.

Unfortunately my main entree was a poor temperature. My potatoes were hot but my fish was just warm.

Such an amazing place! My wife and I travel from up north every year for Valentine's day and it's always been a great experience. This was our 5th time going and our server was Sydney. She was so wonderful and helpful and made the experience even better than usual. To sum it up 10/10 restaurant and staff and will be back next year!

We went for the Valentine's Day special menu. It was on the expensive side, but still well worth it. Our server, Donna, was amazing. The bartender happily shared a drink recipe when I asked; my wife loved it. The food was indescribably good, some of the best food I've tasted.

Dinner at the Elora Mill was amazing. The food was superb - the taste, presentation and portion size were perfect. The service was excellent and the table by the window overlooking the river was a beautiful backdrop.

On the sunny, cold day we visited a little, picturious town Elora. It is the town my family and I visited while the kids were small. To make our stay even more memorable we stopped at the Elora Mills restaurant. With an excellent SC skills we were welcomed right at the gate by Quint !!! So accommodating to my mobile limitations. The place is very luxurious. We broke our Sunday's s fasting with a very small meal seated next to the panoramic windows overlooking the Grand River with a spectacular view. The kitchen activities are super transparent. Thanks to the staff for a nice, moment let experience.

Today we enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Elora Mill Restaurant.
Despite the cold weather and it being the middle of a weekday, the restaurant was quite busy, and we were very glad that we had reserved our table for 12:00 in advance.
Everything was perfect, starting from the reception desk and continuing through the attentive service from our waiter and the truly charming manager.
We ordered two Cauliflower Soups, which were beautifully and thoughtfully presented. For our main courses, we chose the Baked Steelhead Trout and the Chicken Schnitzel. For dessert, we enjoyed the Pistachio & Cranberry Profiterole and the Spiced Orange Crème Brûlée. Our drink choices were cappuccino and low-alcohol cocktails. Absolutely everything was perfectly prepared, delicious, served on time, and at the ideal temperature.
The experience was made even more special by the stunning view of the winter waterfall and the gorge, which created a truly memorable atmosphere.

An amazing view, but a bit disappointing. We had the Miller’s breakfast. Staff was attentive, but the food wasn’t as warm as it should have been, and a sausage was undercooked. Strange deep fried potato sticks. If I’m paying $120 for breakfast it had better be excellent.

I’ve taken a bit to post this because I felt I should leave it a couple days to see if I still felt the same way. After leaving dinner I was thoroughly disappointed in the Entree I ordered. Service was great and atmosphere was good. I didn’t want to make a scene and didn’t want the waitress to feel she was at fault. The medium rare $95 steak I ordered had little flavour and was very chewy, as if it was freezer burnt or overcooked at some point. For someone who was expecting one of the best steaks I’ve ever had, I was left with anger and frustration. Food was overpriced and underwhelming. I’ve even talked to others that have felt the same way after leaving. Server was great, atmosphere was good, food was meh.
Space is obviously beautiful, and service was excellent. Now, on to the food. The cauliflower soup was bafflingly tasteless to the extent that the parsley oil it was served with overwhelmed it significantly and left us confused with an oily, strong raw parsley flavour in our mouths. Husband didn’t even finish it, even though it was nearly 20$. Being served in a fancy pot didn’t add enough to the experience to make it any more appealing. The tempura fish was decently cooked, though could have been better seasoned. I’m really not sure how the smoky heavy cream it was served with was meant to complement it in any way. If they were going for some sort of interpretation of a tartar sauce, the integration of the kimchi in to the sauce to give it flavour and acidity would have made sense. The kimchi on the plate simply made the breading soggy, while the cream remained practically untouched as it was so heavy and lacked any acidy to complement the fish. My husband said the duck terrine was quite good, and it came with house made crackers that were excellent. I got the wedge salad and added the smoked chicken. The salad was very good, however it was so heavily dressed that when I took my leftovers home, I put the leftover dressing in the bottom of the container in to a jar and was able to use it the next day to dress 2 salads. I will say that the use of apple sauce as well as salad dressing was genius, as usually iceberg wedge salads can be quite dry, while in this case the apple sauce added a textural richness without adding more fat. Really great idea! The smoked chicken I wasn’t sure was fully cooked through, and it had a strange taste that I couldn’t say for sure made me think it wasn’t spoiled…perhaps they’re strange flavour was coming from the wood they’re using to smoke it or the brine? In any case there was an off-taste and bitterness that carried through that was not pleasant. I took the rest of the salad home, but even though I only ate half of the chicken, I didn’t care to finish it. The bread was yummy and the butter had flakey sea salt on top which was a very nice touch. Would I come back here for a meal? Likely not. Would I come for a drink and maybe a nibble? Certainly. The kitchen was impeccably clean and organized. Clearly a ton of discipline here, and perhaps things are being executed exactly as trained. I’d say the tempura fish dish overall conceptually needs an overhaul to create a balanced and improved sensory experience. The soup too, as it was horrid and just didn’t work. Staff were excellent and the place is beautiful.

The service is always great, same as the views. They made me an excellent spiritless mimosa; I could have drank 10 of them. The burger was good, but the chip truck fries and homemade mayo were even better. Reduced by one star because the menu doesn't excite me, so I end up getting a boring burger.

The restaurant is excellent overall. No notes, food service and attention to detail that is what you will see. I would recommend all day long
