Another beautiful evening at The Mill; made special by the usual warm ambience, a perfect Manhattan, and a delicious prime rib entree which was presented with impeccable service. Thank you for a lovely birthday dinner. read more

The Sunday brunch at Ancaster Mill is wonderful. Such a variety of food. Service is great and the views are spectacular. Also the cost is very reasonable. read more

Ancaster Mill located along Old Dundas Rd. near Millcreek Ct. in Hamilton is a scenic creek side restaurant in a restored mill which serves up farm to table fare. The property also does events like weddings as well. The restaurant is open for lunch, dinner, as well as a Sunday buffet brunch. They also sometimes do special holiday and chef exclusive fixed menus as well. Parking is available onsite as well as valet parking as well. I recently dined at Ancaster Mill for their Sunday buffet brunch. Price wise, the buffet is $77 per person where it is half price for children aged 5-12. You do get a time limit of 2 hours. Reservations are a must if you decide to go dine for brunch as it gets quite busy! During brunch service, our server mentioned to us that the restaurant often sees up to 400 guests come and go to dine at their brunch! The vibes of the restaurant are relaxing and tranquil, reflecting the property it is in. Upon arrival at Ancaster Mill, there are 2 parking lots you are able to park at. Once entering the restaurant, you check in with the host where you are brought to your table. Even with a reservation you may have to wait a few minutes for your table to be ready. Once we sat down, our server explained the brunch to us and mentioned that if we wanted to order any unlimited beverages such as mimosas, sparkling wine, caesars, juices, teas and coffees, we would have to let her know. In terms of the layout of the buffet, seating and the buffet stations are scattered throughout 2-3 different rooms. Food stations included: - Seafood station (freshly shucked oysters, king crab, shrimp, smoked salmon, mussels) - Carvery station (prime rib, short rib, etc., but meats may change depending on the week) - Omelette station - Crepe station (as well as pancakes! There are sweet or savoury options to create your own crepe) - Fresh pastries and baked goods (croissants, muffins, etc.) - Hot brunch food (eggs benefit, sausage, bacon, seasonal grilled vegetables, salmon/rice, potatoes, etc.) - Fried chicken and waffles - Charcuterie and meats (charcuterie meats are often freshly sliced) - Fruits and salad station - Dessert station (ice cream, pecan pie, carrot cake, brownies, apple crumble, bread pudding, etc.) The food for the Sunday buffet brunch was good! I particularly enjoyed the seafood station with the freshly shucked oysters and king crab. There was staff often shucking oysters behind the station to make sure everything was replenished. During my time there, staff also kept making sure food was being cooked and brought out - never saw an empty station! The lines for the omelette an crepe stations were never long as well. Our server often kept checking up on us and our dirty plates were cleared in record time. Overall, a great affordable Sunday brunch with lots of options available. Great place to celebrate a special occasion with family or friends! read more

The ambiance of this restaurant is the main selling point. We were seated in view of a nice waterfall which complements the rustic features around the mill. The menu selection was limited and as expected higher priced. We inquired about the appetizers and were advised many of them were small and really not portioned for more than 1-2 people. It didn't stop us but just good for you to know. The steak frites were delicious, came with as nice crème and steak was soft and tender. The mushroom melt was a little too greasy with the added butter on the bread then aioli and cheese. The fried chicken sandwich was a hit but beware, it's very sauce and will be a mess to eat. The blueberry salad lack flavour and sounds better than it tastes. Our server and the assistants were courtesy and nice however one of my friends did request for her salad to undressed but it came out fully dressed, we didn't make a fuss but our orders were quite simple and the restaurant wasn't busy, we'd expect a regular order. read more

The brunch buffet at Ancaster Mill has been on my must-eat radar since 2020 when a co-worker raved about the seafood and carving selections. This year, I booked a few months ahead for a reservation and visited with a group of friends. I will definitely say that the serene setting that the other reviews raved about is to be honest just a small man-made waterfall located in the outskirts of the restaurant and venue. More touristy for-the-gram than natural beauty. It can be accessed from the guest parking, where you walk across a bridge over a stream into some greenery then down a few flights of stairs, passing a gazebo with a flashy chandelier. Definitely screams wedding venue. This reminded me of the waterfall up north at Richmond Green Community Centre, but that one is definitely bigger and more in nature than here. Food wise, while they did have the different stations as outlined on the website menu, the offerings were subpar, with only 1-2 outstanding items from each station. I really wish they had a better placement for the dessert spread instead of having it in the hallway outside of the hot foods room. I didn't take many pictures because of the strict 2 hour seating limit. HOT FOOD ROOM Carving Station: - prime rib roast (my favourite meat option, IMO better than the one at The Keg, iykyk) - beef ribs (tender but under-seasoned, a bit oily) - smoked ham (way too salty. I was hoping for the roasted pig mentioned in other reviews) Sides/Specialty Foods: - roasted small potatoes (these were crispy on the outside, fluffy and tender on the inside, really tasty) - a selection of veggie options and perogies - curry salmon - pre-made eggs benedict (perfect amount of hollandaise, overall creamy and satisfying) - fried chicken and waffles (chicken was well-seasoned, very juicy and tender, waffles a bit too filling to have for a buffet). On an a-la-carte day, I would definitely come back for that as a standalone dish. - omelette/egg station (I liked that it was made to order but each order took so long that I didn't feel like wasting 20 min standing in a line for two sunny side up eggs that I could make at home) - crepe station (location was easily overlooked as it was next to all the meats. I asked the chef to surprise me and they simply put all three ingredients into the crepe while chatting away with a fellow staff. Nutella definitely does not go well with mixed berries and spiced applies as crepe stuffing. It was mushy and bland and not okay.) COLD FOODs (open area in the dining room next to the bar): Seafood station: - snow crab legs (little meat, too salty. Tasted like the Costco frozen pack. We all expected better quality) - cocktail shrimp - smoked salmon - oysters (freshly shucked, very small, not much meat or flavour, and I kept eating bits of the shell. I guess I prefer West Coast oysters more?) Deli station: - charcuterie - heirloom caprese salad (this was the highlight of this buffet for me. The green and red heirloom tomatoes were oh-so-fresh and went amazingly with the pesto sauce, mozzarella, and fresh basil. I had two entire plates of this.) - beet salad with whipped goat cheese (this was good too) - deviled eggs - mushroom arancini (highly praised by our server, I feel like it's like a croquette stuffed with mushroom risotto laced with truffle oil. Pretty standard, easily filling though) Dessert station: - a selection of pies and cakes - lavender meringues (the egg-white eggy taste stood out too much, I could not swallow it.) - chocolate and vanilla ice cream - bread pudding - apple crisp (this was the dessert highlight for me) Drinks: - all you can drink sparkling wine, mimosas and caesars along with non-alc beverages like coffee, tea, lemonade, grapefruit juice, and orange juice. Not sure if it was intentional but our server forgot our table orders more than a couple of times and we ended up only having max 3 mimosas per person. Overall I feel like 77$ is a steep price for what we got to eat and drink. The unlimited prime rib, snow crab legs and oysters were the main factors of how I convinced the group to visit, and only 1/3 being satisfactory was a bit damaging to my rep as the foodie lol. I think if it was 55$ AYCE and drinks were extra, that would have been better because then we'd have access to more alcohol options. 3.5/5 And if there ever was an a-la-carte menu, I would definitely return again for the heirloom caprese salad, fried chicken/waffles and the apple crisp as my app, main, and dessert. read more

What a serene setting! It's a perfect place for a celebration! We were only aware of this place because we got a gift certificate. But after our visit to their Sunday brunch, we would definitely come back for brunch. The brunch is a little pricey for $75 per person but it is an all you eat that includes seafood like raw oysters, jumbo shrimps and a huge selection of hot food like omelette and crepe stations, prime rib and desserts! And all you can drink like mimosas, caesars, juices, tea and coffee! And a stunning waterfall view! All in all, we had a great time and we'll likely come back but next time, I will try to book a time closer to 12pm as we couldn't quite eat a lot at 10am. read more

The Sunday brunch never fails to disappoint The spread was awesome as always with a setting to match The Benny, bacon and oysters are my favs... though the salads were great too, I find it awfully hard to eat healthy at this brunch Kudos to the young lad who was shucking the oysters ... thank you for your service young man Our server ( Thea/ Tia ) was absolutely outstanding and stood out in sharp contrast to the team at the entry point/coat check who seemed to be having some serious trouble breaking into a smile and be welcoming Will certainly be back but will certainly avoid the girls at the reception if I possibly can Well done again Thea/Tia and Shucker Boy ( my apologies for not getting your name) PS: And thanks for requesting folks not to take more than 6 oysters at a time...only wish you could enforce it read more

Where to start? I was so looking forward to my experience at Ancaster Mill I made reservations MONTHS in advanced because I just needed to eat at a waterfall. Although brunch was not served outside they did call to confirm my reservation 2-3 days before (this is great considering the amount of time that had passed from booking the reservation it could have easily been forgotten). We stepped inside and with a few minutes before our seating were able to take in the decor, as well as take photos in the enclosed bridge overlooking some amazing views. It was easy to see why this location had a baby shower and a wedding booked in the same day. The food spanned over 4 different areas, everything cooked/baked in house and delicious. Also, can you say "Unlimited Mimosas AND Caesars?" Well worth the price per plate. read more

The venue is gorgeous! Seen lots of pictures before I even decided to go. Got seated in a corner furthest to the waterfall, so there wasn't much of a view. But it was a last minute booking so I can't really complain. Its great if you want privacy. They separated the buffet into two sections. One with the bread, salads, charcuterie and seafood. The other with the hot plates, meats, omelette and waffle stations and ofc the dessert bar. Coffee, tea, juice, sparkling wine, mimosas and Caesars are included! $73 pp + tax and tip (July 2023) Halfway through my meal is where it went downhill, i started seeing flies in the first section. I went to grab a piece of watermelon and saw on landed on the fruit board. I waved it away, me and this lady made an intense look at each other acknowledging what just happened. There was a few near our corner and the dessert bar. But then it was like infestation on the cheese board which was located in the centre of the bar and kitchen, but no one realized (?!). I was celebrating my mom's birthday, our server was so cute and made sure she felt special. I settled the bill and everything and then asked to speak to the manager. Chloe came by to greet us and I wanted to make sure this issue was brought to attention as I saw many eat off of those boards. Chloe simply just thanked me for bringing it to her attention..... didn't offer to make it up to me. Beyond disappointed and would not recommend eating here. It was quite unpleasant to see and a huge turn off. Definitely loss all my appetite and would not come back for food until this is addressed. read more

Took the family out for a well deserved holiday celebration. Food was marvellous especially the langoustine bucanti. We came with a reservation at quite the busy time, however we were brought to our table within 10 minutes. To continue with the fabulous service, there was a crooked picture on the wall which we politely asked our service to fix, and she happily, and sneakily, did it! The ambiance was absolutely fabulous, especially due to all the Christmas decorations which were just wonderful! Overall we had a marvellous time and the free Christmas vouchers for two for a two for one entrees. read more

Came for Sunday Brunch to celebrate my and a friend's birthday. It was pricey but I think it was worth it given the quality of food like freshly carved prime rib, porchetta (though too salty) and roasted pig in addition to seafood like mussels, raw oyster, cocktail shrimp and crab legs. There's so much variety that you don't see at typical buffets. On top of that the ambiance is really nice. We were sat in the room facing the waterfall which was nice. It was also Halloween weekend so all of the staff were dressed up which was cool but weird at the same time since my assumption was this was an upscale establishment. Even the deserts were Halloween themed which was cute! Our server was nice though a bit awkward. He came with one cupcake and candle when he asked if there was a bday. When we told him there's 2, he just said "well there's only one cupcake" and walked away lol. There's great hiking trails nearby to walk off all the food afterwards! read more

I should start this review by saying I do not like buffets. I have never liked buffets. They were never my thing since everyone had access to the food. And then Covid happened and I liked the idea of them even less. Then I found myself at Ancaster Mill for brunch and had to reevaluate this stance because this buffet was great! We got there early-ish (9:15 am) so our first go around wasn't too busy. All the trays were full and were maintained so that people really didn't need to wait for stuff as the staff kept an eye on everything and refilled super quickly. The buffet had an omelet station and a waffle/crepe station, as well as a meat carving station and an oyster shucking station. The free serve areas had breakfast pastries like scones and muffins but also less common, but still delicious, options like perogies, penne, salmon poke, and much more. Of course there was also an awesome dessert section! Everything was delicious though the big hit at our table was the scones with the house made jams and butters. The waitstaff was also so sweet and on top of things. Mimosas were included (as are Caesar's) and they were not stingy when it came to dishing out the alcohol. Also, one woman was waiting for them to refill the eggs Benedict tray and one of the staff noticed and said he'd bring one right to her table since she shouldn't have to wait. The venue is also located over a waterfall and there are such beautiful views while eating. The buffet is spread out between two rooms and if possible the main dining room is where you want to be for the best views. Also, it is a nicer place so some people dress up while others were there in sweatpants and sweatshirts. So no dress code required but I would recommend at least jeans and a nice casual shirt. The one downfall is the price at $70/person. Children are $35 each and under 4 years old are free. My brother-in-law is a firefighter with anaphylactic allergies to peanuts and soy protein. He was able to eat almost everything and eat he did. He definitely got his money's worth and then some! So if you're someone who can eat a lot or you just enjoy the lovely views, the price isn't a huge bother. Or if you're celebrating, it's a nice treat and you get a special dessert from the back! All in all, I was very happy with this buffet and would return, high price and all! read more

We were visiting Hamilton for a day trip and looking for lunch options on a weekend. Arrived at this place around 1:30-2pm with Reserva, took a long while before anyone served us with the food order. In general, the food quality was okay but not wowing, ambiance was really nice surrounded with nice garden and fountain views but service was completely missing. It took us an hour at least before we get our order, and also took forever to grab someone for the bill. We tried their chicken sandwich. Nothing special. The gnocchi was okay. The duck breast salad was my favourite, quite refreshing. Overall, the food quality was 3.5 star, environment was 4 star with poor 2-star service. Only come here if you are not that hungry and not in a hurry. read more

Loved it! My wife thought it was a bit pricey at $75 each with beverage. I think it's worthwhile. The service is impeccable, the food (brunch) is fantastic and there is beautiful scenery. Being so near to my home, this will become a regular spot for us when entertaining visiting guests. I should mention, you have two hours at your table. But two hours is plenty of time. read more

My experience here was actually from last year so I'll highlight what was memorable. Let me tell you, it was definitely not the food. We stopped by here for lunch on a day hike at the nearby trails. It was conveniently located near the waterfalls so we came to try it out. This place is a spectacular wedding venue complete with a chapel, stream, and gardens. In fact there was a wedding party there taking photos when we had our lunch. There were a few other tables but otherwise the restaurant was fairly empty. Despite this, the service was almost nonexistent. I had to get up multiple times and look for staff, and even after talking to someone we still didn't get any service for a long time. The ambiance was nice of course. That's probably what accounts for the prices. If only they spent it on the staff instead.... Parking was a nightmare. If you want to have a quiet place to sit undisturbed for hours with your date, this is the restaurant for you. But don't come if you're trying to impress your foodie +1. read more

The best thing about this restaurant is the ambiance. In the summer, the garden patio is divine to dine at - you get to sit and eat by the waterfall, listening to the sound of water as you dine. The food is good - it's typical continental cuisine that you'd get at sit-down wedding receptions. They're usually very busy on weekends. When we were there, there were 1-2 weddings going on at the same time. They were able to partition the areas so that public patio seatings could still occur at the same time as weddings or private events. Making a reservation is a must, and they have a short grace period if you don't show up on time. The drinks selection includes colourful, fruity, and refreshing cocktails in the summer. Food menu is small but includes at least one vegetarian option. Don't forget to bring your camera / phone because its a dining setting is absolutely beautiful. How often do you get to dine with a waterfall in the background? :) read more

I went to Ancaster Mill for a wedding once, and had the most wonderful wedding dinner there. So, I thought to go back for dinner for my birthday. The Mill is scenic with waterfalls and nice ground to stroll through. The restaurant was quaint with live music performer when I was there. The food we ordered were: Waterfall - a pretty cocktail that was very refreshing Vichyssoise - a leek and potato soup with smoked salmon roe. I don't think it's a good fusion to have the fishy roe in the soup. Also the soup tasted a bit sour. Maybe it's intended? Not sure, but not a fan. Pan seared Halibut with baby potatoes and fennel in a cream sauce - the special of the day. The fish was a bit too well done and chewy, and the cream sauce was a bit sour. My favourite part of the dish was the baby potatoes. Blueberry parfait - great dessert with white chocolate and tonka cremeux, with blueberry compote, polenta crumble, corn cake crisp. This dessert made me think of Autumn. A cozy dessert vibe. The service was a bit slow and confusing. When the server talked about the halibut, she mentioned that it costs around $40. But when the bill came, they charged us for a cod at $60. When we pointed it out, she said the machine is so old that it couldn't be updated to halibut, so they used what was already programmed - cod. Ancaster Mill is such a well established business that I am amused albeit sarcastically, at how they would be so unwilling to upgrade their technology, especially something as essential as the receipt printer. As for the price, she said $60 was the right price for the halibut and apologized for misquoting the price. Nothing more was offered to compensate for the $80 difference ($20 times 4 as 4 of us ordered the halibut). That's a huge difference!!!! Ancaster Mill is supposed to be a well respected business that exemplifies excellence in service and fine dining, but I failed to experience this. read more

Food: GRILLED CHASSAGNE FARM CORNISH HEN chicken was cooked in two ways - grilled and fried. Both were good and juicy. Kale and carrot on the side match this dish perfectly.

Very good experience and comfortable seating Cost is priced fairly for the food and service you are getting. Overall, a good experience and will come back again. read more

I don't know which one of my parent's coworker convinced them to come here, but they've been raving about this place. I came here with my family and the service was incredible! Very attentive, personable, and warm. The restaurant was fairly quiet and the decor was really nice. We ordered a bunch of stuff like the burger, steak, gnocchi. I would say the steak was the best. The only problem with everything is that it's overly salted! The cocktails were amazing though. We ordered dessert (can't remember which one. One of them we devoured because it was that good.. Afterwards, we took pictures at the water falls and it was nice! read more

Slow service. Under-stocked buffet. Not kid friendly. Have attended for years and was let down by our Mother's Day brunch. Our family looks forward to this event every year but it was quite the disappointment this time around. I hope that the brunch buffet is able to return to its normal setup otherwise it is hard to justify returning. Feels like the mill is cheaping out. It's hard to see how pandemic impacts justify lacklustre service at a higher price. P.s. we have received complementary valet in the past every year and there was no valet for the same price point. read more

Came here for Thanksgiving dinner with our family of 10. Ambiance was great, they had the restaurant exterior decorated for the holidays , service was great from the hosts to waitstaff and food was good but for a holiday 3 course menu it seemed pricy for what it was ($80/pp). The ambiance and the service is what I would go back for though and an a la carte menu! Other notes is that the place is not fully accessible (stairs are still required to get to the accessible washrooms from the dining area). Overall a great holiday experience. read more

Excellent! Beautiful environment great food value for money. 性價比高 Should have come earlier to enjoy the area and take more photos

Our orders: Croquette, salmon, steak Pros + Ambiance was so divine. We got a window seat and sat beside the mini falls. + Service was attentive. There was one staff member who diligently sanitized all the surfaces and gently reminded patrons to wear their masks. Cons Unfortunately the waiter wasn't able to take our picture during these times. We can understand though, we were sure to take many selfies! Such a great venue to get married at/celebrate milestones. We'll definitely come back! read more

A gem of a place filled with history nature and intriguing ambiance!! Ask to sit by the waterfall it's quite spectacular!!

Lovely location and ambience. The food is always good but not the most original. It is an expensive spot only for special occasions.

This place is a hidden gem, I was not aware until a friend introduced me to it.. We visited Ancaster Mill for brunch during the holiday season. The reception area and the entire setup is flawless, it is a old flour mill converted into a restaurant. Our table was overlooking the water stream and close to the waterfall. They had an option for prix menu or a-la-carte, I decided to go for a-la-carte. I ordered the Chestnut soup to start with. I could not imagine having pear in my soup, until I tried this one, it was creamy and well balanced in taste. I am not a big fan of salads, but decided to give Kale & Farro Salad a try, and it did impress me! Given the only vegetarian main course option, I had Kabocha Squash Risotto. The Risotto came with some crispy sage, parmesan cheese and pumpkin seeds. Again, very well thought out receipe and you could taste each of these ingredients in every bite! We had Pecan Pie for desserts which is always a safe bet. I liked the fact that they had no desserts that were chocolate taste (which I would normally go for), hence it made me try something new! Besides the amazing food, the location of the restaurant made a big difference to the dining experience. In case you are not sure of what to do around this area, try visiting Dundurn Castle, which is about 15 mins drive to Hamilton. Its a perfect way to complete the experience :) read more

Came by for brunch and we were told the price did not change, however the price had changed to $70 a person plus tax (nearly $100 each). Normally, I wouldn't mind this, but the lack of communication and professionalism left me appalled. I am not one to complain, but I had a horrible experience here. Our server was a young man with blonde hair and blue eyes. I don't know if he was new, but it was clear he had no idea what he was doing. For the special event, a cute "mocktail" was offered. We waited 35 minutes for this to arrive. We asked for a round of champagne (which the website claims to be bottomless), and that took 45 minutes! We asked for a second round an hour later, and he said "give me a minute," and simply never came by. I understand if it was busy, but the section by us had only one other table. At this point, we got our second round at the bar because our waiter did not come by to check on us after 1.5 hours of sitting there. It was then we were told by an alleged manager that the waiter did not feel comfortable serving us (we were with our mothers!). I was appalled. I asked why and she did not say why, but she said she had to go by what her waiter states. The waiter did not acknowledged us the whole day and managed to tell his manager that AFTER we paid (we didn't ask for our bill, but he gave it to us) and tipped him. The manager told me she would come speak to me after she spoke to the server, but never did. Completely unprofessional. Considering we spent approximately $1,000 on a table in under 2 hours, you would think we would be treated nicely. I've been here before, but this will be my last time. Save your time driving and save your money. There are plenty of better places in Toronto. read more

Hands down, my fave steak house and date night restaurant. I went in not knowing the dress code but I was in athletic wear, yet they made me still feel so welcomed and still treated me like I was wearing a wedding dress. I had the porterhouse steak platter shared between me and the handsome. It was the most delicious, melt-in-your-mouth steak I've ever had. I also ordered the salad and fancy shmancy salad was still so very good I recommend everyone to come here!!!! read more

A classy brunch by the Ancaster Mill waterfall and their beautiful venue - a priceless way to start your Sunday. Here are a few bites from our review: "The appearance is quaint and serene both in white snow winter and lush green summer. Take a walk around after your meal, it will likely benefit both your body and soul." "On the other hand, we can vouch for their mini cheesecake, carrot cake, bread pudding and, of course, a milk chocolate fountain. We also enjoyed a neat gesture at 11am - mimosas in flute glasses were offered to all tables. Those mimosas were not light on booze so the rest of our brunch went on an even higher note." read more

In my opinion, the Ancaster Mill has one of the best dining experiences in Hamilton. I have been here multiple times. The food is fantastic, and is well worth the slightly expensive price. The ingredient quality is great, and they usually cook their food with minimal oil. The flavour of their dishes are less rich than other places, but the food is also lighter. Mill also makes up for the lack of oil by offering many dishes that are exotic, or have very unique & interesting flavours. The food is good, but the hallmark of the Mill is the environment. The restaurant is beautifully furnished, and the location is surrounded by forestry and nature. They have a waterfall and a well maintained courtyard, and is especially beautiful when the flowers begin to bloom. The service has been great every time I went. In terms of specific foods, the menu is constantly changing and contains very unique and exotic options. It is hard to make specific recommendations, but in general, I really enjoy the salads, the soups, and the red meats. The chicken is usually a little dry for my taste, and pastas are a bit too small in portion. I have heard great things about the fish, however I do not like eating fish myself, so I have not tried it. read more
