Probably my favorite eatery in glen arbor. Great food and coffee. In the summer they cook the food right around the corner from the patio so you can smell everything as it's cooking. The location is so unique and peaceful right on a small river/canal. Make sure to go earlier in the day to avoid the crowd and long waits for your food. read more

We had "Supper" at The Mill which is a fine dining experience. The location has other food service at different price points. It's pricey and everything we ordered was creative, in the best way, and delicious. Our cocktails were great - a simple tequila, Campari and lime and a perfectly smokey mezcal concoction; I want the recipe. Portions are on the small size - the apps are for one and a bite or two and exceptional. The thought, care and detail of each was on a par with many of the best restaurants I've experienced. Because it was just two of us we were limited in our exploration of the menu but with two or more you could have it covered. They offer a tasting menu with wine pairings; next time. Our server was friendly, knowledgable and thoroughly professional. Only 4 stars because in my reviews a 5 star would be a unique life changing restaurant experience (I've only had a couple!) read more

We were hyped to come check out a newer spot in Glen Arbor, and from the photos it looked awesome. However, the only thing this spot has going for it is the atmosphere. The menu is very limited, expensive, and odd. There are almost no breakfast options, unless you want the keifer and granola, which is like eating pie and whipped cream for breakfast, a cookie, or a lunch sandwich. We opted for the keifer (which is not the typical liquid keifer - I kid you not, whipped cream I swear), a hand pie - bacon and potato ... no eggs, no cheese :( - and a shortbread... breakfast of champions, eh? Also the whole operation is really not conducive to efficient service. The coffee (drip) was fantastic, but if you want more than a cup o' joe on the higher end, I'd recommend a different spot. read more

We stopped in twice on a recent trip to Northern Michigan. First, the aesthetics and space are stunning. It is wonderful to see an old building come to life again. Second, the coffee, tea, and baked goods were delicious. And lastly, the back patio is a perfect spot for one of their sandwiches (we had the turkey and ham) and simply enjoying the beauty of being "up north." read more

My friends and I enjoyed our leisurely lunch at The Mill. The vibe was sophisticated hipster. You can sit inside or outside-- outside has several tables next to the peaceful river. To drink, we ordered the milk punch, which was an incredibly delicious beverage of matcha with pistachio milk and rhubarb jam--HIGHLY recommend. The spring lettuce salad was flavorful and refreshing, although I didn't taste any mint and think they might've forgotten it. My friends said their heirloom tomato and sopresatta sandwiches were just alright. The bacon jam hand pie was decent and warm, but kind of steeply priced at $7. The baked goods like bread and cookies all looked delicious, although we didn't try them. We'd return for breakfast and coffee or wine/beer and sit by the water, but likely not for a meal. It's still a cute spot, good for catching up with friends or reading a book. Glad we checked it out! read more

The Mill - Herb salad, bacon jam hand pie, milk punch, and sandwiches - Salad Near Me - Glen Arbor, Michigan

Wow! This spot in Glen Arbor is in a primo location, beautiful setting, serene view of the mill stream during our dinner. We had a range of food between the 4 of us; a vegan, vegetarian, and two omnivores. All of it was fantastic. I particularly liked the snapper, and the cucumber dish. We had a monkfish snack to start. We had the chocolate dessert with cherries which was also fabulous. The Zebra and the - were both fabulous drinks. Our server was Oakley, who did a great job of explaining the layered sauces and what would pair well together. We wanted to lick all the serving bowls and dishes to eat every bite of the sauces. They were very unique. read more

Lovely setting but very slow service. Doesn't seem they are ready for the season. Took over an hour to get 2 sandwiches.

We've driven by the mill for decades and wondered what it might be with some TLC...this is it. Loved our lunch and the views---what a gem! Don't sleep on the sourdough crackers! read more

This is probably the most aesthetically pleasing restaurant I've ever been to. Everything is so cozy and beautiful from the vintage furniture to the outdoor patio to the chocolate cookies. Enjoyed the pastries and latte read more

"Supper" - first the good - the scallops and sourdough ice cream were tasty (and unique in the case of the ice cream). The not great - the "blistered" tomato with pepper cracker did not give any "blister" flavor and was just ok. The steak was ok but basically tasted like a flank steak and was not worth $67. The terrible - the mushroom "entree" was described as roasted along with telling us it was a vegan entree option and they were known for their preparations and sauces. It was inedible. It tasted like they had been boiled (not roasted) and were topped with a broth that was so salty (and I like salt) that they were inedible. Even if this was executed perfectly there is no way a few mushrooms in a little broth should be called an entree To be fair when we mentioned the quality they did take it off the bill. The chocolate dessert was described as a thick chocolate mousse. There was nothing mousse like about this dessert. Just a very heavy, thick chocolate. Overall way overpriced. read more

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars! Such amazing food! Service was incredible. The atmosphere is so relaxing. Grab your coffee and pastry and sit out on their back deck by the river. It's truly tranquil the latte with vanilla bean syrup is AMAZING will 100% be back and recommend to everyone I know!! read more

Love the ambiance and the service but we didn't like the food. The burger is extremely salty and the desserts just weren't good. The bread is so crusty you can't bite into the sandwiches. The mushroom in the sandwich is inedible. It was like chewing on a rubber glove so we had to send it back. Pretty pricey for a small portion of food. read more

too pretentious for the quality. we had watered down (very expensive) chais and matcha, in very small cups with a lot of ice. the service was a little judgemental as well. gorgeous location and building though :) read more

Great place, Great coffee and croissants. It's peaceful and tastefully decorated . It's expensive , but we knew that before coming . The thing we couldn't understand is that the coffee comes in paper cups??? For the price we paid for a latte , a cup would have been better. read more

Food! Service! Atmosphere! Energy! Great new place to go for casual coffee or fine meal! Attention to all details is done so well!

So glad to have this new addition to the Glen Arbor business community. The staff is friendly and helpful, even in the summer when swamped with visitors, and the food is top notch. The molasses cookies are to die for and the blueberry jam that comes with the Toast & Jam breakfast is literally spreading blueberries on your toast. We loved sitting on the porch watching the fish in the river during the summer and now are loving the warm and cozy great room during the winter. Wonderful place to sit and chat, work, or read with a great latte. read more

Somehow, the online system had lost our reservation. Not an auspicious start. But the staff swooped in to rescue, found us a table with a lovely view of the river, and proceeded to make the evening memorable in the best of ways. After a couple of amuse Bouche, we worked our way through the fish small plates and the white wine. Eventually settled on a Hungarian tokaji which delighted with layers of goodness. The service was attentive but not hovering. And the chef inventive in both flavor and presentation. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

Beautiful building . The lounge ceiling in the front is great for working on your computer or just having coffee. Really nice to sit outside by the river. Coffees are good yet highly priced. Wish there were more lunch options. Just a few sandwiches. No vegetarian. Only one salad on menu and it's very basic and expensive. Skip the salad Hoping they will change the supper club dinner menu as there are only 4 dinner choices and range from $75-$120. read more

Great location and the latte was amazing. We loved a quiet coffee on the deck overlooking the Crystal. This is a terrific place, I will go again! read more

We had a nice lunch and enjoyed sitting on the patio. We recommend giving it a try. Also a nice coffee shop.

Horrid staff. Below average food. Coffee and treats in morning over priced. Vegetables were fresh though

I was underwhelmed. I think they're trying too hard and it's EXPENSIVE to say the least. It's a beautiful space with a wonderful waiter, Ian! Would rather eat at La Becasse or Blu. read more

I tried the tasting menu, the red potato course made me cry with joy. I could pay full price just for that course despite everything being beyond great. read more

Amazing service, French pastries. Staff is incredibly accommodating to dietary requirements. Everything they do is impeccable. Staff makes you feel like a member of The Mill family. read more

The ambiance is wonderful. We have have been there 3 times this past summer and sat outside right near the creek. This is perfect for young people as we saw many. My grandkids love it. The lounge looks too when the weather is bad. It's pricey but very good food and the coffee is great. read more
