We tried to get a table here almost every day of our 5-day trip, but it was packed! We finally…read moresmartened up and called a day ahead for a reservation. It might have just been the holiday rush, but I always figure "busy means good," so my expectations were high--and The Local didn't disappoint. We started with the nachos; they were delicious, though I do wish they came with a bit more meat. For mains, the burger was outstanding--probably one of the best we've had in the entire area. We also ordered the Brazilian steak, which was cooked perfectly and came with great plantains. The quinoa with tofu was good, too, though it was a little dry and would have been perfect with a sauce. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and refilled my water at least four times without me asking. Great ambiance and an all-around good experience. Definitely worth the wait!

Bar tender provided menus, and checked back on us after a few minutes to take order. They've got a good menu with pizza, sandwiches, burgers, and a good variety of entrees (seafood, steak, chicken, pasta), basically, they've got something for everyone. Not being too hungry, but knowing we needed something, we decided to just split an order of the pulled pork nachos. The food came out fairly quickly, looked and tasted great. They did not skimp on toppings. Staff was friendly, food was good, only complaint is it was very dark inside, and surprisingly loud in the restaurant, I can't imagine being there with live music, I assume it would be impossible to have a conversation.

I've taken business associates and family with the highest confidence that they would experience the finest meal they've ever had. Sadly, my last two visits, My guests and I were disappointed. They no longer offer a full-size filet mignon, which in itself is very disappointing, the thin "4oz"(not) filet medalions were under cooked . And no baked potatoes! What?! We finished our "Non-Tavern-like" meal looking forward to the excellent cheesecake we've enjoyed dozens of times. Not tonight, my friend! We were told they now offer a homemade flavored cheese cake. Only i opted to try it. What i was served was a small square that tasted little like the excellent NY-style one they served for years. Our server, who the bartender said was now one of the owners, told us that the cheesecake we had bragged about for years, "that old cheesecake was from Cisco!" Hmmm. Very sad! What happened? New chef? New owners? I don't know but the Bottom line is we'll likely find another restaurant that hasn't put profits ahead of quality.

Comfortable sized booths along the walls with family sized tables scattered throughout the rest of the space. A window wall lets in daylight. We parked in their lot and entered by that entrance on a rainy day. Down a few steps to the cashier, seat yourself. A member of staff showed up quickly with menus and we asked for water as we had been on the road and never seem to drink enough water when we travel. The menu had a selection of entree salads and we both chose one. The produce was fresh, plenty of protien on there and tasty. I chose the house made ranch dressing and it's a tasty buttermilk recipe I definitely recommend. We asked for the check and went to the cashier to pay. No one rushed us out the door. Definitely the type of place you can stay awhile. Restrooms are clean, the staff are all very nice. Food quality is good and our meal tasty. Would return if we find ourselves in the area again.

Food = Good enough…read more Service = Inadequate. Our Thursday night prearranged dinner for about 25 weary out of state travelers was scheduled for 6:30 PM. We arrived together in time and were promptly seared in a private room. So far, so good. From there the service became glacial. The meals we ordered arrived after 8:00 PM and the checks after 9:00 PM. Two and a half hours involuntary incarceration Is just too long. The three young ladies serving our tables were gracious, industrious, and determined to treat us well. Admittedly, the main saloon was also packed with raucous inebriants wanting food and drink. I suggest that the delay was possibly in the kitchen. Ambience = Loud

I've had the pizza, I've had mussels and I've seen the dishes going past us and they look amazing and large portions I might add their prices are fair and their food is great.! Keep up the hard work!

There's a dining room and a bar area. There's also a cute little lounge area next to the bar that would be a great space to catch up with friends or family and to be able to enjoy a cocktail while relaxing. This place is a vibe. Super cool decor and atmosphere. Very welcoming and friendly staff. We sat at the bar. We were greeted immediately and by a super friendly bartender named Zane. We ordered a rosemary cosmo, bacon washed old fashion, Mexican beer on tap (can't remember the name - see pic for name on the actual skull tap), and a drink that wasn't on the menu, but they have had before (we were with a local who knows this place well). All drinks were lovely. The rosemary cosmo wasn't sweet and had just the perfect hint of rosemary. The bacon washed old fashion is highly recommended. We didn't eat here, but they do have some tasty looking dishes. Guest at the bar ordered apps and then a steak that wasn't absolutely massive! Overall a great place to perch and have a terrific time.

I had a sushi special for the evening that was delicious and my sister had the Mongolian beef, which was also very good and a huge serving. Dessert to top it off was a lemon sorbet.

Damascus Old Mill is a very good experience and I recommend you try it…read more This review is for the Old Mill restaurant. Overall, good. Atmosphere is nice with the river and overflow dam nearby that if you're next to a window you can see. Atmosphere overall is ok. Nice tables and chairs; outlay of the table is ok, nothing special. The sun blinds most people in the early evening at the restaurant. They have blinds. I think Damascus Old Mill is a solid 4 stars for all of their amenities, service, and food quality and quantity. Charles was our waiter and he said as 5 stars. I watch other wait staff and they ranged from average 3 to 4 stars. Some didn't know the alcohol menu as much as I'd want a server to know it. We had burger, sirloin and ribeye. All were good and everyone was satisfied with their selection and the food. I was disappointed in their ribeye. Good cut, but was undercooked for my medium request. The cut was ok and I didn't think it was as tender as I'd expected from a 21 day aged meat. It was ok. I would casually recommend it, especially for $50 for a ribeye. Desserts...absolutely delicious! I need to try them all. Overall, Damascus Old Mill restaurant is a recommend. I'd skip the ribeye and go their burger frankly. Ribeye is it all that for their price point.
