RUDE STAFF. I will NEVER come back to this place. The woman that took our order was rude from the moment we walked in and continued with her bad attitude throughout our visit. Just a word of advice to you, when you "apologize" in the future maybe remember that any apology that includes the word "but" and you continue to go on about how you weren't wrong is NOT an apology.This is a lovely place that was completely ruined by the AWFUL service we received.

It's all about the atmosphere. In fact, I think the atmosphere makes the food tastes even better, mostly snack foods, but their special even foods are great too. Great wine selection. A wonderful place for Abilene to have for the couples who want a romantic date.

Came here with my boyfriend to celebrate our valentines early. There was live music, which ended about 15 minutes after we arrived. I was a little disappointed to sit there in silence for the next hour. The artichoke dip was not enjoyable at all. We were warned that the dip was “spicy”… there was no spice or any good flavors coming from that dip. I’d come back but hopefully receive better quality food. Atmosphere was beautiful.

Delicious as always but I really hope you bring back the chicken Caesar salad! It was the best one in Abilene in my opinion and I would come just for that ?

Great fun! Love the outdoor spaces. Cool lighting. Fantastic fireplaces to stay warm in the winter. We went on steak night. Ribeye had great flavor. But it was almost cold. Wines are too expensive by the glass $12-15

The venue itself is gorgeous. It's the service we received during our wedding that was the issue. The venue event coordinator was nice up until the day of the wedding. She watched our wedding party like a hawk.1st issue: the bridal suite in the upstairs area of the warehouse section either doesn't have A/C or it didn't work properly the day of our wedding.2nd issue: we brought our own cigars. The event coordinator told us they sell cigars and cigars could be smoked outside. Once she saw us smoking cigars with a butane torch lighter (anyone who smokes cigars knows this is a common lighter to use for cigars) she said that it was a fire hazard and why couldn't we just use matches. Thankfully one of my groomsmen informed her that it would take a whole book of matches to light ONE cigar.3rd issue: Our wedding party was accused twice of bringing in outside alcohol. Never happened. My best man was given a flask (it was empty) He had sat it on the table while we were smoking cigars when the event coordinator came to question us about our use of a torch lighter. We had children in our bridal party so they had Hawaiian punch upstairs for the kids to drink. Our wedding party got accused of drinking up there too.4th issue: While maid of honor was upstairs in the bridal suite getting everything picked up and moved out the event coordinator went upstairs and started questioning her saying "you do realize this has to be all picked up and put back the way you found it, right?". Then started questioning her about the Hawaiian punch we had for the kids.5th issue: We opted for a cash bar. I didn't think that opting for a cash bar with LITERALLY mean a cash bar where no one could use a card and open a tab. Therefore ALL of our guests instead utilized the main bar. They shut down the bar inside the warehouse down SUPER early because of this.There were other issues we had with how customer service was handled but I'm not going to continue to drill home every little thing that was said or done. I worked head of security for a major bar/event venue in Fort Worth. I have never seen customer service this awful. Especially if we had a couple that just shelled out $2500 to rent out a portion of our venue. We were not rowdy. We were respectful and courteous with the staff of The Mill. We did not receive the same level of respect back. Again the venue was beautiful. But the customer service needs to be worked on IMMENSELY. Therefore until they get these things handled I would NOT recommend holding your wedding at this venue.

Ambiance is nice. 4 stars instead of 5 because of Thursday steak night. That flattened out hamburger patty they called a steak was worth nowhere close to the $40 it cost

Tracey L.

Awesome atmosphere indoors and out. Tucked neatly and quietly away so it's very appealing.

Tracey LeMaster

Very nice atmosphere tucked neatly in the center of town. Indoor or outdoor, it's peaceful and

We didn't know what to expect. It was our first time going on Thursday night for Steak Night. We ordered salmon and grilled chicken, and they were both cooked perfectly. They said when we pre-ordered that it would take up to 45 minutes before our food would be served and suggested going to the bar for drinks. Although it didn't take that long for the food to come out, it would have been nice to have an appetizer or have our salads before the entree instead of with the entree. The meats were cooked perfectly, and the green beans and cheesy potatoes were good too. I was surprised I even liked the potatoes because normally they're too cheesy for me. All in all, it was a nice evening to eat and chill with friends.

No place to sit unless it's outside. Food was Alright. Pulled pork was great. Breshetta really strong.K.
