Been to Spring Mill several times over many years and this was the best. The escargot and Tajine Chicken were splendid.

Cozy atmosphere, very friendly staff, wonderful food. Had salmon fume and rainbow trout for my brunch. Everything was delicious. My risotto was a little bit overcooked but it would not a deal breaker. I would definitely come back again.

Went here for my milestone birthday on 9/29/24. What a great place in such a peaceful location. Food was excellent! Enjoyed all three course. It's a favorite restaurant of a few friends and now one of mine. Looking forward to going back!

We had great expectations of this restaurant for a night our to celebrate a birthday. Unfortunately, it was not to be a great experience. We were met upon entering by a woman who we assumed was the maitre d’ without any type of welcome, pointed unenthusiastically and with some disdain to our table. The menu looked great and we were excited. The appetizers: beet salad, salad with heirloom tomatoes and the chicken liver were very good. The special potato leek soup however was tasteless. This became the theme of the main course. The lamb shank and the rabbit though very tender was also tasteless. Did they purposely not put any seasoning on it or did the chef just forget? The salmon came very undercooked and sadly the waiter never came over to see how we were doing and after about 10 minutes we had to flag him down to get the salmon recooked. After another turn in the oven the salmon was quite good as was the filet mignon. Service in general was lacking, the waiter never came by to fill either water glasses or wine. The desert we ordered two different types of cakes were very plain. Sadly we do not recommend the Spring Mill Cafe.

Lovely setting seated on the porch for Sunday brunch. Trout was fabulous and you didn't leave feeling hungry. Liver pate nice addition along with the cheese platter. Shrimp and grits prepared perfectly. Beet salad...do it! Smoked salmon and eggs Benedict truly tasty. Escargot was a real surprise. Friendly and attentive service.
Spring Mill is a rarity nowadays, at least locally. The food is amazing, the staff is attentive and kind. The owner always stops by to say hello, and the kitchen has something new to offer each time we go. A lovely spot that we are lucky to have so close to home!

This was our second visit. This time during restaurant week. My intuition told me to stay away from the $50.00 restaurant week specials and unfortunately I did not listen to my gut. We both ordered the fillet special and The beef was lacking in flavor and tough. I ate half of it and should have returned but felt like that’s what you get when you go for the “deal”. I watched others order the filet and saw through the gristly beef.
We did enjoy the appetizers. Cheese plate and smoked salmon tartare.
Desserts on the restaurant week menu were unimaginative.
Service felt rushed and we were not asked if we enjoyed our meal.
I believe the Spring Mill Cafe is doing themselves a disservice with the menu that was offered. I should have paid more a gotten what I expected from them based on my past experience

Our party of 5 went here to celebrate a birhday. We were expecting an authentic and cosy evening with delicious French food. The lady/hostess was quite unfriendly, the small table she pointed to was quite small for 5 people and we had difficulty placing our bottles of wine on the table. The bread basket did not include French bread but small rolls which tasted commercially made. The salad appetizers were very good. The entrees were lacking in seasoning and sauce especially the lamb shank and rabbit. They were tender but bland. The filet and salmon a la nicoise were both very good. We ordered several desserts, the almond cake was really dry and honestly not worth the bother. The tarte tatin was cold and the pastry soggy. Bassett's ice cream was the winner here. Very expensive and disappointing meal. It was a bummer, we had high expectations and excitement for a fine meal and celebration.
Birthday celebration dinner - stellar! We shared a pâté while choosing the meal to come. The salad special (octopus) was wonderful, as was my heirloom tomato salad with feta. My wife's fish special (baramundi over quinoa) was excellent, and I love the top quality grass fed filet that's a menu staple at SMC. Along with our main courses, we shared a very tasty plate of roasted carrots (the vegetable special du jour). With the same great staff, setting, service, and presentation that made SMC our favorite restaurant for over 40 years, who could ask for anything more?

We went to Spring Mill for our anniversary dinner and was surprised that they had a Restaurant Week, 3 course prix fixe menu special going on. Which, of course, we took advantage of. They sat us in a quiet alcove in the main dining room and promptly opened the bottle of wine we had brought (BYOB). For starters, my wife had the cheese and dried fruit plate, and I, the smoked salmon with dill and cucumber salad appetizer. For the main courses, I had the Beef filet steak Provencale and my wife, the grilled octopus ala Nicoise. The steak was cook perfectly, medium rare, and surprisingly, the octopus was so tender and not at all chewy. The accompanying sauces were both excellent. Finally, for dessert, we had ice cream with chocolate sauce, toasted almonds, whipped cream and a macaron. My wife had the salmon and pistachio genoise with creme fraiche, garnished with pistachios and powdered sugar. Overall, an excellent experience, service was great (thanks Mike), and the food very, very good. Will definitely go back again.

We went there for restaurant week and had an amazing experience. Just remember they are BYOB (which is a plus in my opinion). The service was impeccable and the food was outstanding. Even though this was just a date night out for us, we were made to feel as if both the occasion and our visit were special. Thanks so much, we'll be back for sure!

Spring Mill Inn never disappoints. The ambiance , the service are top notch. The food is excellent . I had the miso glazed eggplant steak with black rice and seaweed salad, it was so delicious I wanted more!. My partner had the octopus which isn't for everyone and it was his first time trying it . As a picky eater I was so suprised that he gave it high marks.. All in all it is one of my favorite restaurants. Oh and the best coffee!

Phenomenal experience and food. We enjoyed escargot, salad, pork chops and insanely good. Rabbit is not something I would normally eat, but now I can't wait to go back to eat more.
