We went to Cambridge Mill for our first time on a Thursday night. We didn't know the $1 oysters are only available at the bar lounge. The hostess took us the bar lounge and left us there. There weren't any spots available, so we had to go back out and got a dinner table. (Wasn't sure that is the norm..) I was not impressed by their food at all. First, the bread was soooooo salty and full of butter (you don't even need to put any butter on it). The starter mussel was okay, but still too salty. I ordered a Steak House Pizza, while I was eating it by hand (I washed my hands before), the server came by holding a small plate and said:" sometime it is easier eating pizza with an extra plate." I wasn't sure about his intention, but I felt like he meant use your fork and knife to eat your pizza, which I did after he brought me that plate... The mash potato came with the Pork Loin was pretty much swimming in BUTTER... and very salty. In conclusion, all the food was very salty and didn't really brought out the natural taste of the ingredients. I would not recommend this restaurant to my friends. read more

The po'boy is mind-blowing! The combination of flavors, textures and presentation in this simple meal absolutely made my day! I came here with my wife on our 19th anniversary for lunch and I'm thrilled. The decor and view are also fabulous. Only two very minor observations: I'm an impatient person so the slow food approach annoyed me a bit, and I'm a real snob when it comes to French fries, so I was a bit disappointed. read more

Amazing, I went here for a wedding and the five course meal was outstanding. It is rare for a beautiful venue to have equally good food, but they did it! Highly recommend all around. read more

Buffet Brunch at the Cambridge Mill... I can't sum up everything I feel about this experience, nor could I ever remember all of the many amazing things I ate, so I will just note that it includes unlimited sparkling wine (or mimosas or Caesars), in addition to offering freshly shucked oysters with a bottle of Grey Goose to decorate the little guys. It's a lovely atmosphere, so dress up a bit and enjoy a luxurious brunch. Wear pants that will accommodate bad decisions. read more

Brunch done right. Everything you can think of, from an omlet station to fresh oysters, and crepes made to order, and crab legs, or pan seared salmon. There is most certainly something for everyone. I must admit i was quite impressed with both the prime rib and roast pork at their meat station, but others in our group loved the huge pot of crab legs on ice, but you cant overlook the other items that dress all that up like potatoes, veggies, antipasto, salads, cold cuts, and some awesome cheeses. Once you get though all that, the bar area is covered in deserts to please any taste. After loading up on fruit, there was also an asortment of cakes and squares and pies and treats. More than enough to get that sugar rush to top it all off. I should also note a few things such as the service is spectacular, and the view of the Grand River is also something to grab your attention. The place was packed so I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that thinks this place knows how to rock out to Brunch. However, be warned, its not cheap, but its worth every cent. read more

Went for highly recommended brunch and it was only ok. Service was attentive but impersonal so it made for a conveyor-belt type feeling of get them in get them out. Server actually walked away mid sentence. Food was fairly average but the selection was impressive. Oysters were a highlight and these eggy hollow muffin things a real low light. They have belgian waffles but only one is made at a time so you wait. Cocktails included always a bonus. The strange part was that they had a cook who was not conscious of the fact that he could be seen. He kept a handkerchief in his pocket and blew his nose in it then put it back in his pocket and continued handling food. This same person also at one point reached into his pocket and pulled out hand fulls of bacon-- snotty handkerchief and pocket bacon. read more

Very few places give you the feeling that something special needs to be celebrated to warrant visiting them. Cambridge Mill is one of them. First I have to say that I had my wedding reception here, so I might be biased. They treated us well, and even though I only had time to taste the food, I remember it being top class. No less true that we picked the menu, but we could have picked almost any dish from the tasting and it would have still ended up great. I also celebrated my one year anniversary on their patio. The steak is good, but was it better than the Keg's? Maybe. Cannot say for sure. Their onion rings were too greasy, couldn't finish them. The fries were brown instead of golden, which for a top notch restaurant should be unthinkable. But, the service is impeccable and the view: splendid. It is the kind of restaurant where you will never feel over dressed... All in all, a good (not great) experience for a hefty price. read more

Unimpressed today. Brunch was mostly stiff and cold. Several hot trays were near empty. Cold food table was much better, but small things like no serving tools for cheese a little gross. (fingers filled in). Beef ribs were cold and hard as rock. Prime rib end was only cut available and overdone. Others in group liked the crepes, but I passed on the long wait line. Note they automatically include 17% tip if you are considered a group, even though our couples paid separately. Ushered out at two-hour window, even though service was slow throughout. Overpriced for what we got. read more

I was here last night and as the customer service, was wonderful as always.. The food and drinks and Everything took long to come.. The parking lot was packed, but the dining area, that we were sitting in, wasnt. We were near the water view and had a booth. To start I had a strawberry champagne like drink and my friend had a glass of red wine (the drinks came sooner then later).. we ordered oysters, as an appetizer and it took 20 min to come? Very uncalled for, especially for an appetizer and the oysters were Very Fatty and leaking pus? I ordered the halibut with a mushroom and corn sauce (it was Very Delicious) but took almost an hour to come to the table? It's fish.. extremely uncalled for.. I ordered a second drink and had the white sangria and it came with like a foamy vanilla candy, floating on the top.. it was lovely but I don't know what was going on last night but the food taking long was probably the worst ever but the customer service was good, mainly because our waitress was nice but not a good look for my second experience, at the Old Mill (Cambridge location). read more

What an experience. We were seated next to the window. The dam in the winter looked like a frozen waterfall. The place was very clean and bright; really puts you in the right mood first thing in the morning. Their staff was alert and friendly. We didn't need to wait for long to have our waiter attend to us. The brunch was amazing. It was worth the drive from Markham Ontario super early to try this place out. The seafood was very fresh. I appreciate the fact that they have real fruit juices too. Despite that it was all you can eat, it won't leave you feeling all disgusting afterwards. I would definitely visit again with friends. read more

Lots of parking. Beautiful location along the river. Plenty of room for many people. Great selection of food and drinks.

We have been going to The Cambridge Mill since it has opened and have tried everything on the menu...literally. Part of the charm is the restaurant itself, the view is astounding and front of house staff are top-drawer. If you happen to be near the restaurant on a Sunday and are a brunch person, make a reservation it is one of the best brunches you will ever have. On the restaurant, my favourites are the burger (really to die for) and their selection of steaks which they do a fabulous job. Everyone wants a view of the river, where the restaurant overhangs. Although they try their best there is no guarantee of available seating and if you want a view of the river, come early and have some apps in the bar area - that's the best plan. read more

Great atmosphere. We sat next to the waterfall in an open screened in area. We could hear and smell the river with a cool breeze on a summer day. Great food. Very well executed. The trout was very moist. The beef po'boy was mind-blowing. Service is kind of slow, but I think it's meant to be that way. It's a place to take your time enjoying good food with good company in a nice atmosphere. read more

Really pretty location. It wasn't very busy when we arrived for our 7pm restaurant side reservation, but it was 8:45pm before our main course was served. The steak I had tasted good, but it was a bit tough and over cooked. I'd go back to give them another try. read more

Med this account just to review this my family went for Mother's Day unaware that it was buffet and it was a very disappointing one at that if I'm paying 250$ for a buffet at lest cook your prime rib so it's not chewy and mostly fat the only positive was the oysters while they lasted and the view. I suggest they notify when booking reservations that will be buffet read more

Amazing!! Great service, I had an 8:15 reservation and the team was able to move me to a window view in 5 minutes. We were never waiting too late for service or food, the waiter was attentive and always filling up our water and asking us if we needed anything. The food was amazing, we couldn't decide on what dessert to pick so the waiter gave us a very detailed description of each. read more

The servers are nice and the food tastes great! Though it takes some time for the food to be served. The sanitation is nice. I don't find stuff that's not supposed to be in the food, in the food. It's pricey though. The scenery is nice because it's right beside a mill. read more

Window seats overlooking the water were lovely. We had the risotto which was a very generous portion and the asparagus salad which was the opposite (on the hearty salad menu, but more like three springs of asparagus but still very nicely prepared). Reasonable prices for the venue and service was great. We enjoyed our lunch before heading to the farmers market. read more

Fantastic view, excellent service. The food was slightly on the expensive side (comparable to other nice restaurants, non-franchise restaurants) but it was okay. There was nothing special or memorable about the food and the only reason why I would go back would be for the view and service. read more

One of the worst experiences - services was horrific. The waiter was completely incompetent. When asked, "can you tell me about your burger". His response: "it's a burger". Rude? One member of our party was lactose and the waiter could not identify which desert options were lactose free. When it came to pay, he couldn't process AMEX prepaid gift card - a cash amount. Overall, service was awful and overall experience very negative. Not recommended at all! Please avoid. read more

I had reservations for Sunday brunch. I was told by coworkers that the restaurant was amazing and the recommendations were spot in. I enjoyed the Resturant environment and the food. If in town I will be back. read more

My friends and I had the displeasure of trying to celebrate our joint Thanksgiving and child's 4th birthday at The Mill. We have NEVER experienced such prejudice and racism in our lives. As young professionals living in Toronto we are no strangers to fine dining. We had no idea what we would be in for at The Mill. We were not dressed in ill fitted cheap suits nor occupants of an industrial town, which seemed to immediately be a red flag for the pedestrian staff. Throughout our visit we were chased down for not paying the bill after we had told staff we were stepping out for air, leered at, judged for having a child of mixed race as well as having alternative styles. To top it off when we complained about the treatment we received we were patronized and told by a teenager that she was just telling the staff "how well behaved we were". This is ridiculous. We were told our brunch would be comped due to the atrocious service and experience that we endured. Instead we were mailed 3 twenty five dollar gift cards. The envelope we received offered no explanation or apology for the extreme prejudice we received. This leads us to believe the establishment feels justified in regard to the whole fiasco. This pittance will be taken as The Mills endorsement to prejudice. Talk about adding insult to injury. Deplorable treatment aside the brunch was subpar. The Mill boasts freshly shucked oysters but seems to shuck about a dozen an hour. The charcuterie consisted of kielbasa, something resembling lunch meat, as well as cheddar and blue cheese. There was Genoa salami added to the spread partway through our brunch. The quality meats and cheeses usually found in a charcuterie were nowhere to be found. The Yorkshire pudding was burnt to the point of being inedible. The prime rib was overcooked. The croissants made in house were dry, as were the cookies and muffins. There were crab legs but there was nothing to accompany them. The eggs benedict was premade and had been sitting in a steam tray, rendering it unbelievably soggy. (One would assume that they would be made to order). I could go on. ... The Mill needs to step out of its small town archaic idea of fine dining. It is no excuse that they are located in Cambridge and accustom to serving middle age blue collar workers. To say the food was mediocre is an overstatement. The treatment we received was laughable. The whole experience seemed like a sick joke and ruined our celebration. The only condolence was that our child was too young to understand the shameful ignorance we were subjected to. The Mill is an insult to the people of Cambridge as well as to fine dining itself. read more

Our family celebrated my brother's wedding here last weekend. Outstanding service. In the restaurant, a grandmother and infant were accommodated for a breast feeding mom who was busy with bridal party responsibilities in another area. Food was the best I've ever had at a wedding-Beef done to medium rare when requested (not commonly done for large parties). Can I just emphasize the quality of the responsive service yet again? That is what makes me come back to a place. read more

Food, service, view all unbelievable. The facility is incredible too, if you want to impress on a date this is where you go. is there valet service too? not sure, but wouldn't be surprised if there was. a drink, soup and a sandwich tips & tax for $45 is steep so bring your unlimited CC and really impress! ;) read more

6 of us were there Mothers day and were very disappointed with the food. My Grand son and son in law both are sick today. The Yorkshire pudding and crepes were a big disappointment dripping in grease. There was a lot of food out on both floors. I feel less is more especially in the quality of the food. The salads were sickening, some one needs to learn how to make potato salad and proper green salad. The macaroni and cheese I make mine at home and every one raves about it, they need a lesson on how to make macaroni and cheese to die for. The desserts were also a disappointment there was no cheese cakes or nice pies. Bread pudding with caramel sauce no one wants to eat that. We spent $500.00 and we have decided we won't be going back for the brunch. read more

We had their Sunday brunch today. By far the best brunch ever! All the food was delicious. Hot food was hot and the cold food was cold. Staff was very attentive. We will definitely be going back. Our table was by the river. Gorgeous view. read more

We visited this restaurant feb 17 for dinner. The meal was superb. Wine was good but as usual in Ontario expensive. Our waiter was fantastic. He was able to answer our questions and seemed to have an encyclopedic knowledge of food. I hope he is being paid appropriately. read more

Had my wedding here June 2016. Food was amazing and so was the staff however, not happy with the customer service I received from upper management there. Agreements were not fulfilled and whilst getting late replies, emails and no phone call to reach out to remedy the situation, I was offered a brunch gift card for two and another was sent to the wedding coordinator for the day. Can't imagine what else would of happened if I didn't have a wedding coordinator. I will not dine there again purely because of the management. read more

Great atmosphere overlooking the grand river - We we're indoors, but, all windows were open and great setting for a date! Food and service were also a plus, you definitely get what you pay for! Would go again and again! read more

I went to visit a wedding venue in Cambridge and the Special Events Consultants recommended their 'sister' restaurant at Cambridge Mill. We are not from the area (but I did go to school in Doon/Kitchener) so we were not sure what we were looking for! We pulled up to the beautiful Mill and it we were definitely impressed. The prices are very reasonable which now brings me to the food.....AMAZING. By far one of the best meals I have had in a while. I was not expecting this from a place that sells burgers, philly cheesesteaks and BLTs but I had to try a bit of everyone's food it was THAT good. The burger was by far the best burger I have ever had and it's safe to say we were extremely happy with everything. Thank you to Sara at Whistle Bear for the recomendation, and thank you to the staff at Cambridge Mill for your excellent service. read more

Ambiance is amazing....really well laid out restaurant..fantastic view of the grand running alongside the establishment. The food and service was not up to par... Next visit i shall enjoy the lovely view sipping a free water. read more

Attended a wedding here. Ceremony and reception. Beautiful grounds, gorgeous setting, delicious food, helpful friendly staff. A really good experience overall. read more

We went to the Cambridge Mill for dinner yesterday. We made reservations for a river view table. We had great hopes for this place. We got all dressed up and all for this dinner. When we got there our reservation was not respected but we got an "amazing boot that sits high and has a great view".... After 1 hr of being sitting at that boot my back was killing me so I made a comment to our server,who only offered to bring napkins for my lower back despite tables with regular chairs being empty. Their menu is not big and nothing in that menu matched the setting. We order the overpriced rib eye. My steak tasted awful, was flavourless and was very disappointing. We order a butter tart for dessert, that was the only redeeming item of the night, although it was not served as advertised in their menu. It was also upsetting that they don't have a dress code and many customers were dressed for a Pub's patio. Dinner made me sick and woke me up at 4 am! Overpriced place for so so food. the view is nice......next time I'll got LA Franks, it has the same view! read more

Was great. Friendly and very polite staff with a great view. Calm nice place. The food was also perfect. All good :)

This place has never disappointed! The food is always amazing and the staff are super friendly and attentive. I'd recommend taking advantage of the location by sitting near the large windows and taking in the view of the water. My favourite menu item here has got to be their stone baked pizzas (the dough alone is delicious). You can definitely taste the difference that comes from the quality of ingredients and the cooking process! read more

Monday night steak & wine was amazing... lovely restaurant, great service and a fantastic view of the Grand!

My latest experience with the Cambridge Mill was very disappointing. I have been here many times before with amazing experiences, so I decided to celebrate 33 birthday with family and friends at the Sunday Brunch, which was a bad idea... I booked my reservation for 16 people, which required a $200 deposit, which I happily paid. I was told this would be rebated back to my credit card. However upon return I was notified that I would be charged a refund charge of 4%. wow. total rip off!!! Also, our reservation ended up requiring 2 separated seating areas, so I was unable to see most of my guests, My reservation was for the last seating, 2:00 pm. We however did not get seated until 2:25, which was an issue only because after we had been served our drinks and went up to enjoy the buffett, it was not only stale but they had stopped replenishing the food and certain food became unavailable altogether. The eggs Benedict was so incredibly stale that the English muffins were un chewable. I was very excited for the lamb... which we were told they were out of and not going to replenish however when we were first seated we were encouraged to try the lamb and chicken, also no more chicken.. On top of that disappointment the cold salad bar was not replenished. We were left with remains of a brunch that once was. cold meats, and cheeses, with more than 2 fly's, and the amount of fruit fly's above the dessert were discussing. Completely unacceptable for a $50 brunch, I paid for 2 hours of premium food which I got 1/4 of. We were all sadly dissatisfied. We will not return. read more

Unfortunately I have experienced sub-par service at The Cambridge Mill over 5 times. Being that it is a block away from my house, it is difficult to accept that this restaurant is less than satisfactory in all aspects other than appearance. I have gone to all other restaurants affiliated with these owners- Spencers, Ancaster Mill, etc. This restaurant, in my opinion, is a total disappointment to this group of restaurants. Regardless of my proximity to this establishment, I would honestly rather drive to Ancaster to experience the level of service and culinary delight these restaurants boast. I have experienced bad service for brunch several times as well as in the restaurant area for dinner. My first negative experience was in the bar in the evening. My partner and I asked what was on the charcuterie before we ordered. We were told it was prosciutto and salami. When it came it was 2 different kinds of salami. I pointed this out to the server, not expecting anything different but just telling her that there was no prosciutto on the plate so she could correct herself if people asked after. She proceeded to straight up argue with me about what prosciutto was- adamantly pointing to salami and saying "nope, that is prosciutto." Later on in the service she did apologize, however, I was offended that instead of asking for clarification from her chef she decided to be extremely rude to me and argue. I have worked in the service industry and would certainly never expect aggression, especially when backed by ignorance. My partner and I had purchased a bottle of Prosecco, which was sitting in an ice bucket on the table. She actually sprayed the table with our $80 bottle of Prosecco on it and wiped it in order to try to rush us. I have never experienced someone doing such a thing in a diner, let alone an "upscale" restaurant. Having this be my first negative experience at the mill, I didn't even consider the fact that my partner and I were being treated like that due to sexual orientation, however, after being subjugated there several times after that, I can't help but think this could have been a key factor in our treatment at the mill. There have been more times than I could count where I have been completely ignored by servers- whether this is due to ageism/ prejudice or just plain ignorance, I do not know. I have been completely subjugated while at the cambridge mill... more than once. One time when I was there for brunch, I told them that I was going outside for some fresh air for a few minutes to sit by the beautiful area they have overlooking the river and was literally chased down as if I was bailing on the cheque!!!! I have been made to wait over a half hour to receive change when paying cash, I have had waitresses be extremely rude and inattentive, not to mention the young manager be snarky and straight up insulting to me while I was with my child! This is the first negative review I have written for any restaurant and the only reason I am writing this now is because of the countless times I have received awful service at this particular location. With every negative experience I would wait a couple months, and try it again with an open mind. Finally I have had enough. You are much better off driving to Easy Pour (The Blair Wine Den), or just down the road to Elixir to experience fine dining and exemplary service. I feel totally and utterly disrespected by this restaurant and the employees in it. Cambridge is considered to be a blue collared town already- I feel ashamed that so many people travel to come to the Cambridge Mill, as I feel it deeply misrepresents the city. I can only hope that one day the Cambridge Mill is able to let go of prejudice and treat all of its' occupants with equal respect and dignity. read more

I have been to the Cambridge Mill for dinner before but not yet for the AYCE brunch. For $50 you get your coffee, latte, cappuccino, Caesar, bloody mary or mimosas included in the cost of brunch. I met a friend recently and enjoyed beautiful river views, two courses of seafood and a course of flambeed crepes, leg of lamb, perogies, and three mimosas. (I didn't eat any other meals that day). The food was great but more impressive was the attentive and impeccable service we received from Quinn! He made sure we had drink replacements before our glasses were empty, gave us melted butter for the crab legs and sent us home with a complimentary cupcake. What a wonderful brunch experience and at tremendous value. I'll definitely be back! read more

Having dined here before and actually having held my daughters wedding reception here we expected better for our last visit. The service was poor and since one table had their kids running around throughout the restaurantand garbage on the floor, it felt more like an expensive mcdonalds. Managements response to my experience was that they advertise themselves a family restaurant. My suggestion if you wanted a nice quiet experience .... go to Chuckie Cheese's down the road read more
