My husband and I stopped here on our way home from a weekend at Geneva on the Lake. The old, wooden building was located right next to active train tracks. There was plenty of parking and a large outdoor patio area for summer dining and entertaining. We walked inside and to the bar where the host greeted us and seated us at a table. Several tables were occupied with customers, most of them appearing as regulars. The ambiance was the feel of a cabin of sorts, with a fireplace and license plates from a variety of states and posters with wine references hanging throughout the restaurant. It felt rustic and very homey. There was a light up sign listing specials of the day along with a list of specials located on each table. The Sunday special caught our eye right away - $2.99 for spaghetti with .99 cent per meatball or sausage and garlic bread with the purchase of a beverage. What a steal! The rest of the menu items were very reasonably priced with a variety of options ranging from appetizers, sandwiches, salads, to wraps, burgers, and entrees. We both easily settled on the special and I ordered a bowl of the soup of the day, Potato Bacon. I was slightly disappointed in the soup as it lacked flavor and creaminess of a normal potato soup but the rest of our experience prompted my 4 star review. The spaghetti portion and size of the meat was deceivingly large and actually quite good for such a simple dish, reminding me of a home cooked meal. When it was all said and done, we came out of this place with two dinners, two drinks, and a bowl of soup all under $20. Our waitress was very nice and attentive, checking in on us frequently and keeping our water glasses full. Our service was quick and we were in and out within less than an hour. The food was presented nicely and piping hot when it was served to us. Overall we had a great experience here. We enjoyed the setting, the service, the deals, and the food! If we are ever in the area during the summertime, we will be back to try wine and enjoy their outdoor dining area! read more

Old Mill Winery - Potato Bacon Soup - Diners Near Me - Geneva, Ohio

My cheeseburger and chips were really good along with the in-house sangria. The service could use some help but other than that it was a great time. read more

We went on a busy Thursday evening. Service was excellent, as was our food! Hubby had the wine burger and I, the crab cakes! Loved being able to sit out on their patio! read more

Came here because we were ignored in the hot sun waiting for a table at Firehouse winery. This was the best thing that could have happened. Old mill had amazing food, wine, and service. Worth the 10 minute drive from the water. Much better experience here. We will be back. Sonni was the best. read more

Oh what a wonderful find. We are on a road trip and decided to see Geneva state park and get something to eat. It was memorial day. We sat out in the patio. The foods was pretty good-- we got ribs and the burger. Both were good. Then there was a live band playing on the other side of the patio. It added very nicely to the ambiance. The staff were friendly. Oh, the cherry lemonade sangria was absolutely delicious-- not too sweet and was refreshing. read more

I've been to the Old Mill a handful of times for a bite to eat and (of course) a glass or 2 of wine.  Here's what I really want to highlight: The Portabella Ravioli!!!!  I'm a vegetarian and usually have to plan on cheese ravioli as a go-to at restaurants and I'm generally not a big fan of Alfredo sauce.  HOWEVER: I make it a point to order the Mushroom and Alfredo ravioli at Old Mill.  It is delightful; fresh mushrooms, a wonderful home-made white wine infused Alfredo sauce that isn't as heavy and pasty as far too many Alfredo sauces generally are.  Meat-eater or not, this dish is VERY worth ordering if you enjoy mushrooms...hell, it might even convert you into liking them! Now that I've raved about the food I will also say that we've always had fine service from friendly staff.   All the servers have great timing when it comes to checking on you enough but not too often. ps: Mushroom Ravioli read more

Here has happy hour 4-6pm and it was packed when we came a bit after 6pm on a Wednesday. But the food is so disappointing. We got pretzel stick and zucchini fries for appetizer. The zucchini fries all stick together. The pretzel itself is OK but the cheese sauce is not good at all. I haven't been disappointed by pretzel stick for years. I got pick two for entree, the shrimp on skewer is dry and not good taste. The crab cake is barely OK. I was not satisfied about the food here at all. People on my table like the wine, but I would totally go to somewhere else with good food and wine. read more

Really great food, comfortable setting, nothing fancy at all, just a great place to unwind and relax.

So came here for a drink with family however greeted by hostess was told that we couldn't sit down even though tables were readily available. Very disappointing customer service. Work on your people skills! read more

Great food, but call ahead if you don't want to wait 20 minutes even with open tables, we had to stand there while two other parties walked right in and were seated immediately. Seemed a little rude to do that. Wine was tasty but definitely not top rating stuff. Typical local quality. The ribs and steak were juicy and grilled outdoors. read more

Took 45 minutes for our food .the salad was awful and i could of made it better at home. And the pizza i should of went over to domino's. read more

Old Mill Winery - A pizza from giant eagle. And a salad i could have made better at my house. - Diners Near Me - Geneva, Ohio

The setting is nice, both inside and outside. Weather permitting you can sit outside and watch the traffic go by. The wines are sweet (read: pretty bad, imho). This place is doing an average job of making wine in Ohio. There is enough competition to make that not good enough. South River, Laurello, and St, Joseph to name a few. I can't call out any of the wines, because frankly, I didn't like any enough to take a bottle home. One good thing I can say about this place, it's better than Debonne. read more

Can't remember much about the food but the frozen wine was a hit !! Like snowballs for adults. I wish I could have toted some home but airline frowns on over 3oz. Definitely going back next trip. Bought two bottles to have at the lake house for family reunion at the end of July. read more

We took a trip up to the Old Mill Winery on a Saturday night. Our server was friendly and informative. The cover band was great (I can't remember the name). Great rock and roll covers. I got the wine burger and it was the best burger I've ever had. My fiancé got the ribs and he said they were great. Can't wait to come back! read more

Old Mill Dip breadbowl appetizer was AMAZING! Bruschetta Pasta with Steak plus Shrimp Alfredo Pasta were prepared perfectly. We're not big wine drinkers but the Summer Berry Wine was really good.. not too sweet or dry. A definite must any time you're in Geauga. read more

Just had a wine burger to go. Best burger I've had in a long time, and it was huge. Pretty much the only place in Ashtabula county that makes a fresh burger. Two thumbs up! read more

I've never left disappointed. The burgers are oh my goodness good. They do close earlier in the evening but will seat you

Wasn't terrible but just not what I was expecting. I had the wine burger but only got the faintest hint of wine from it. It was okay but really needed more seasoning. Zucchini fries were good. Husbands chicken was "meh, boring" despite being Cajun. Quantities were fair, not huge. Had to keep asking the server for things and then wait forever for him to get them. Honestly don't see us going back. Didn't enjoy the smokers either. read more

Very nice people every time we visit. The wine burger and zucchini fries are great! Great takeout for our busy family...always ready quickly! read more

Hands down my favorite winery in the Geneva area (I tried about 7 or 8 of them while in town). This is just what I was looking for. Now with wine and even with the experience you desire, everyone has their own tastes. If you're looking for a good casual restaurant/bar, possibly with live music, then this could be your place. If you're looking for a fancy winery all dressed up nice, sip your wine daintily, and a cozy romantic atmosphere, this probably isn't your place. We were here during the day of the Grape festival, so I'm certain that played into the atmosphere, but it was just a rockin' house that afternoon with a fun vibe. It kinda made me feel like I was in a beach resort town...we sat outside on the deck. Actually it was a bit loud indoors, which would've been okay, but we sat outside where we could talk, enjoy our wine, AND hear great live music. Oh, and the wines! There is something for most every palate, but being a sweet wine drinker, I did find PLENTY of options. I know there were good dry ones too, as that's my wife's thing. I love the the way they serve up their flights and the place is so casual that you don't feel like you could make a mistake in your ordering or the way you sip, etc. I'd recommend this place as a casual restaurant/bar that is also a winery. If you just want to try good wines, this is your place in town. read more

We visited Old Mill Winery on a Saturday afternoon when they were moderately busy. We were told ten minutes to be seated inside which turned into 20 to 25 minutes. Once inside, we saw several tables available but were jammed in near the bar. Some people like the atmosphere of this restaurant; I did not. I found it to be loud, poorly lit, and not dirty, but not exceptionally well kept. The staff was pleasant and seemed organized, but would benefit from improved procedures and a tighter dress code. That's not to say they dressed badly, but some sort of uniform would greatly improve the perception. The food was good, but a little better presentation and more refined preparation would tick them up a notch. My wife had a burger that she said was good and I had the BLT wrap which I would recommend. I don't think this place is bad, but it's not fine dining, nor do they claim to be. read more

I live about 75 miles from Geneva and try to get here once or twice a year. This night I targeted the Old Mill as my destination. This is a cute place with decent bar food. The wine is not what I would drink, but they have beer that goes well with the food. I was here on a Wednesday and they had entertainment which was a pleasant surprise. Her name was Susie and she was really good so would go back on a Wednesday just to hear her sing. Seems like a lot of locals come here so the crowd is friendly and banter back and forth which makes it comfortable. Patio is great. Service was a bit slow, but it was a busy night. read more

Love this place! Every time I have been here, I have never been disappointed. I have had their steak and mushrooms before which is excellent. Most recently, I had the grilled shrimp with corn on the cob and potatoes. It was delicious! I also got white sangria but you can pick any of their wines as the base. It was very good. They have a very nice outdoor seating area and a large parking lot. It is a great place to visit in the summer and sit outside. Service is always very good. They often have live music. Highly recommend. read more

This was a shot in the dark since we were driving through the area. Based on the number I'd customers it appears the locals like the place. The customer service was good and everyone was very nice. We did not try the wine so no comments on that. The food was ok pub food nothing special. Menu was a tad limited with nothing special popping out. We sat next to the slider and noted the screens need a good scrub. Other than that the place was very clean read more

Pleasantly surprised; had been by many times but never stopped in. Dined outdoors; food was great, we caught the tail end of a duo playing music, and our waitress (Gwen) was amazing. We will be back next time we are in town. read more

My wife and I were visiting the Geneva area for a short vacation. We went to the Rock Hall on Tuesday, and on the way back to our rented cabin we stopped at the old mill winery. A young man greeted us outside and directed us to a bar area when we told him we wanted to taste some wines. The young lady at the bar was very friendly and extremely helpful. We got a number of samples and chatted with her. They had several great tasting wines, so we purchased a few bottles. They do also offer wine slushies, which are tasty. Although we didn't eat there, the experience we had with the people there warrant 5 stars. We will be going back to that area next year and will be sure to sample the wineburger. read more

Really great grilled chicken paired with veggies and potatoes. We loved the wine flight and the food made a great lunch spot !

When we are in the area, we always stop in. Good burger, we like sitting on the deck as well. Unfortunately, we haven't ventured into other parts of the menu. Wine burger with sides are about it for us. read more

We went here for dinner for my 40th birthday. We sampled some wine. Had one of the best bartenders at any place I've ever visited. He was the real deal. We ate some awesome food and drank some beer and wine. They had a local band playing at the place. I really loved this place. We will be back here. Worth checking out for sure. Probably our best stop on the trip. I've been here a couple other times following this original post. This place is amazing for dinner, and the wine is good. My favorite place to eat dinner in the area. read more

The service and food were great wine very good steak was perfect corn and potatoes were wonderful.

After walking in and figuring out after a few minutes we had to go to the bar to be sat, we watched the table we wanted to sit at go to another group. Oh well, we weren't locals and didn't know we had to check in. After being sat towards the back of the restaurant, we enjoyed the sounds of the kitchen running out of soup, the waitresses discussing how some of them got pregnant, and many other fun stories. This was also the area where there was apparently some sort of celebration that wasn't cleaned up and the tables beside us had half eaten cakes and pies on them. I really hope those weren't the dessert specials. After placing our orders, we decided to indulge in some chips and salsa, as well a cheese plate. The salsa tasted eerily similar to the Tostitos salsa I had at home I the fridge, but I digress. Our main course came about 40 minutes after we had ordered. The pasta dishes had definitely been sitting for some time, as the pasta had turned hard on any of the areas that weren't covered with sauce. The salads seemed half-way fresh and burgers seemed okay though. Overall, I will never return. For a place as eclectic and unique, I would've expected good food and even better service; but I've come to learn that with the Geneva area, the only places for good food and half-decent service are the small little fast paced places near the strip. read more

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a lovely date night at this cute Winery, the ribs are a must try! Would have left more stars if I could, we'll be back very soon! read more

Very slow service. Waited over an hour for a salad and a burger. Staff wasn't even apologetic for how long things were taking. We saw take out orders being boxed and a couple that came after us eat and leave before we received food. Asked for checks to leave. It was a wasted stop in our wine tour. read more

So had a friend bring us some of your wine. " Geneva Summer Berries" is bomb ass wine. I can't stand wine nor champagne . But she asked us to try it my friends & me. Absolutely loved it & will actually drink this. I liked it so much that I tried to ordered it and have sent to me in NC. Unfortunately due to licensing they can't ship out of state. Absolutely will find a way to get more read more

Great little winery away from the hustle and bustle of the strip. Food was excellent. Had a great bottle of wine. Worth the road trip from Cleveland read more

Let it be known up front that I neither ate nor drank at Old Mill Winery. We tried though, we really did. However, after twenty minutes of being nothing more than a fly on the wall, we gave up. I have rarely seen such a poorly managed front of house. I use that term loosely though since the host's table is where the cashier is - in the middle of the restaurant. We were informed that if we wait there with the 10 other people, that we could put our name in and be seated soon. Problem was, the woman taking names was also seating, clearing tables and looking frantic. When she did revisit the group of people waiting, she took the name of the first person who spoke to her, called out a different name and then disappeared for another 3-8 minutes. This sounds like your ordinary busy restaurant, right? It gets worse, though, when considering the items below: 1 - No other waiter, bartender or server would speak to the group of people waiting - if I had a quarter for every time they said we can only talk to the woman who was never there... 2 - With five entrances into the restaurant and the desk in the middle of the room, there was no "line" to the list. First come was NOT first serve, which meant that my soft-spoken, kind group got completely walked all over. Realistically, we would have never been pushy enough to be seated. 3 - Large restaurant means many stressed, fast-moving servers. However, the route to the kitchen was right next to the cashier/host station, which meant there were anxious servers zipping by with plates, food and little to no patience for those waiting. They were so pushy that after being pushed to the side, a glass of water was poured onto half of my party. FYI, no "sorry," "whoops," or acknowledgement at all. 4 - After waiting for 20 minutes before giving up and leaving, only one other party that had arrived before us was still there. No, the rest of the parties had not been seated; they had left with the same empty stomachs. All but one of the parties that came in after us had also given up and left as well. All of the above being said, I was honestly sad to leave. The food looked good, the patio & outdoor porch looked like a pleasant atmosphere. There was a band that was playing solid, classic 80s hits. All in all, I'd be willing to try it again - but I will make a point to go straight to the bar and definitely not during the dinnertime rush. read more

This place was definitely one of a kind on the wine trails. I have never been to a winery that actually felt like a pub, sports memorabilia and all! Ordered the wine sampler and the wine burger. I wasn't crazy about any of the wines, compared to other wines I have tasted in the area. Much too sweet for my taste!! And I love me some sweet wines. Service was a little slow, but LOVED my wine burger. I keep dreaming about it. read more

I actually really loved it here. It's exactly what we were looking for. We were staying at a local Campground and instead of making breakfast, decided to a late breakfast/ lunch. Parking is fantastic for campers. Did a wine tasting for $6, lots of good options. Like the reisling and Cayuga because we like slightly sweet whites. Got here at noon. Ordered lots of appetizers, drank wine, played games. Very kid friendly, deck is very relaxing, nice menu. Had muscles, pretzels, spin dip, old Mill Dip, and cheesy bread...all good. Did not like the crab cakes, shrimp is a filler for me. Terra and Jessica were our servers and did a most amazing job. Very cheery, happy, and attentive. Ended staying almost to 6PM! Fun place to relax. read more

I was so incredibly thrilled that I was able to leave this place without giving them a cent. Is the wine good? I have no idea. Why not? Because nobody bothered to help us, even when we sat at the bar in plain view of multiple servers. We sat there for several minutes and not one person asked if we wanted anything. Several of these servers were milling around, talking amongst themselves without a care in the world as if everyone in the joint was happy and satisfied. It's not like the place was busy or anything--half of the place was empty. I don't expect to be waited on like a king, but I do expect to be treated with respect. Several years ago, I went to Lola in a fleece and a hoodie (long story--the person with whom I was dining and who also was paying suddenly decided that they wanted Lola instead of the place originally decided, which was a casual place). We walked in on a Friday night without a reservation. Five minutes later we had a table and we got great service. If a fancy place run by a chef who is famous all around America can rearrange things to give me a table on one of the busiest nights of the week when I'm dressed like I'm ready to pound chicken fingers at Applebee's, then I should expect a place like this to help me when I'm sitting drinkless at the bar, right? If you're on the north side of I-90 and looking for a winery, you can do much better. read more

Chambourcin & a loaded wine burger are what I always get. Sweet potato fries are good too. Don't bother with silly sandwich wraps. Waitresses can be a little grumpy but ambiance is cozy and interesting. Can be loud when there is a band so you might wind up having to flee to the tables next to the bathrooms. Sitting outside when weather is nice is great. This place is close to my house which I love cuz I get super tired of driving to Mentor. All round pretty good read more
