Food Scene

The Mill serves locally sourced comfort food while accommodating a variety of dietary restrictions. They love little ones and have a mini library of coloring books and crayons to help entertain them! Lindsay’s Fave: the Kale Apple Salad with Grilled Chicken and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Zach’s Fave: Wednesday Wing Night (their house honey habanero sauce is incredible!) and anything they’re serving on tap.
