The Mill has incredible food including American and foreign cuisine. The complimentary snacks were a nice touch. We shared a delicious foie gras terrine with toast and fig compote. My vegetarian curry with mango chutney was exceptional. My husband opted for calves liver which was wonderful. You seldom see this on menus anymore. The ambiance was warm and cozy. The service was excellent. The only thing I didn't like was a mojito. It was very sugary, lime was weak and virtually no mint. Overall The Mill is an outstanding restaurant we will revisit! read more

This is a mixed review, and I apologize for its length. The Mill doesn't take reservations for parties of four or fewer. Since we were driving from Cambridge to Egremont -- about three hours -- to celebrate a special occasion with friends who live nearby, we called to ask whether they could make an exception. The manager gladly did. A few hours before the reservation, however, the OWNER called and brusquely informed us that they do not take reservations for parties of four and that "maybe they could accommodate us," before launching into an unnecessary lecture about their 5+ policy -- essentially cancelling our reservation. Why do that to your customers? Unfortunately, it didn't stop there. When we arrived, he was again rude and dismissive, seating us at a tiny table in the corner of the bar that was clearly too small for dinner. Thankfully, the manager stepped in, rescued the evening, and moved us to the main dining room, where we ended up having a wonderful night with our friends. She also checked in throughout the evening to make sure our experience improved, and her professionalism genuinely turned things around. As for the food: we ordered the Smoked Fish Pate appetizer, the Grilled Salmon, and the Artichoke and Goat Cheese Ravioli. The pate was exceptional -- layered, balanced, and memorable. The salmon was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and refreshingly not buried under heavy marinades. The ravioli was also excellent. Dessert was a rich chocolate cake that capped off an otherwise delightful meal. The decor, service, and overall comfort were all A+. This easily could have been a five-star evening, but the owner's unjustified hostility convinced me that this is not a place I would return to. read more

The bar is where couples are placed, which is a fine place to find yourself for a wedding anniversary dinner. Young servers are attentive and quick to fill your water glass. After celebratory Hugo Spritzes, shared a huge Caesar salad and then one of us had the cioppino and yes, there was calves liver on the table too. The vibe is buzzy and it's a fun spot with reliable fare. read more

Very deceptive...prices on website menu through Google are much lower than @ restaurant (I.e, Burger $18 vs.$26, Chicken Parm $28 vs $38, tuna $24 vs $34). Burger was small and served with french fries in a little paper container...thought I was at a fast food chain vs a "high end" restaurant. Similarly, served bread sticks b4 meal that came in a plastic wrapper...again very cheap! Food taste overall was ok but wife mentioned that her side dishes were very bland. Ordered coffee that came in miniscule size cup and any refills will be charged for. To summarize would definitely not recommend...very expensive for what you received and deceptive in having online menu (Google) prices much lower than actual. read more

Amazing ambiance with warm lighting and a bubbling river as the backdrop. Exceptionally friendly staff who greet you the second you step foot in the door and check in on you periodically. The duck leg was flavorful and well balanced with the crispy skin and tender inside. The pork chop was very tender, but perhaps lacking some flavor. Overall a wonderful dinner experience and the attentive staff made it memorable. read more

It's open again... with a more limited menu as well as days open. It's a hallmark in Egremont, but considerably more expensive.

Great atmosphere and service. The menu is highend and very overpriced. The people doing the cooking on a Monday night were off. The lamb shank $48 looked good but had little flavor. Same for the fois gras warmed pate $24. Most flavorless of either fois gra s or pate ever. The cheese and wine were nice. read more

There was only a single area of opportunity for this restaurant, and I mention it below. We've driven by this restaurant for years and years, and have always wanted to eat here. WOW, I'm glad we did. First of all, you are greeted by a wonderful man, who is teeming with charm and warmth--literally the best host you can imagine. I'm not sure if I heard a British accent, but wow, what an entrance and what a pleasant and charming man. We were seated right away at about 5:15, and within minutes the place filled up--every seat gone. We had driven from Litchfield, and it was raining and super foggy out there, and the drive felt like it lasted forever, but we felt so welcomed when we arrived. The fireplace was roaring and it warmed our bones, while the coziness immediately overtook us. The woman who seemed in charge of the restaurant, possibly the owner, was equally accommodating and made sure everyone was 100% comfortable, and that their tables were perfectly set. I watched her working and just knew this restaurant had it together like clockwork. They work so hard to make sure you feel like you're getting the best experience possible, and I appreciate that so much. Our server was equally wonderful and accommodating, and timed everything perfectly for us so we could enjoy my husband's birthday dinner. Everyone eating there seemed like locals, or from the Massachusetts area and were also excited to be sitting and eating there. I stared with a drink called "Jacques the Elder," made with Makers Mark, Lemon, Ginger beer, elderflower, and topped with a row of candied ginger for $14. Just mouth-watering. The server brought us some delicious Berkshire Bread Col sourdough and and breadsticks, accompanied by a feta and tomato purée, which was outstanding. For appetizers we had a prosciutto, burrata, and pear to start. When paired with the the sourdough bread, it was just delicious. All just well-prepared and fresh. For my husband's entree, he had a delicious pan-seared trout on a bed of mini pearlescent gnocchi that was sumptuous. This was not a regular menu item. I had a shrimp and spaghetti dish that was equally delicious with just the right amount of heat, but, there just wasn't enough Spaghetti in the dish to account for the $34 price tag. You can see the dish was very shallow, in the photos below. I asked for more bread and then dipping that in the delicious buttery Sauce. This didn't detract at all, but just another two forkfuls of pasta would have given me that important impression of value and abundance. Then the young man bused the table and used a scraper to make sure every crumb was gone, in preparation for dessert--pure service. We finished the dinner with cappuccinos, and a flourless chocolate cake and pistachio ice cream. The flourless cake just stuck to the roofs of our mouths, and the ice cream helped provide that creamy cold nutty contrast. What brilliant pairing. The entire evening was perfection. The kind of experience you start to miss before it's actually over. We drove home with jaws dropped, and commented on what a magical, cozy, and welcoming experience that was. Particularly, how it will be difficult to recreate again--but darn it, we will try. I highly recommend Old Mill, as a true staple of Southern Mass, as an enchanting dining experience, and truly delicious culinary triumph. read more

The revamp of this old classic spot went well. Just as good as it ever was! The hours are the only thing that's been reduced.

The bed and breakfast we were staying at highly recommended this place for dinner - they don't take reservations and are only open Tuesday - Saturday. They open at 5:00 pm and you really want to get there as close to the hour as possible to get a table. We arrived at 5:15 and sat in the bar area, our server Hannah was amazing to say the least! She was super attentive - our water was never empty and we got new silverware a few times!!! And to top of off, we were able to meet and chat with the owner, Teri, and he is quite the charmer! He gave us recommendations, chatted with us about some of the signs around the bar area, he was super welcoming and kind! He even took pictures with us!!! Check out some of the signs in the bar area and ask Teri for the story behind them!!! read more

It's not the same -- The Old Mill was a really a very special place. We celebrated many birthdays and different occasions there over a span of decades that is almost shocking to consider. We'd also stop in to their bar for burgers or soup every so often. With the recent re-opening, reorganization of the dining room. and the menu change, we were so hoping for a strong return for The Mill. A meal there in the spring was just disappointing. But -- we loved the place so much in the past, we decided maybe it had just been an off night. So we recently returned. Sadly, I'm not certain we'll head back again for more than cocktails... read more

Great food, and hands on care from happy employees , sadly i can only visit when in the area, but i try and be a ambassador for it

We decided to spend a couple days in western Mass, and while looking for places to have dinner, The Mill popped up. When we arrived, we decided to sit at the bar. As a note, the bar is quite small with only 4 forward facing seats (and two additional seats that face a wall), but the atmosphere is cozy and charming. Our server, Wyome, was fantastic! She was busy making all the drinks for the restaurant AND serving the bar patrons, but she was still friendly and conversational. I had the pork chop, and my partner had a cod dish that included lobster and corn. Both were great! We split the coconut cake for dessert, and it was delicious! I highly recommend going to The Mill if you are in the area. We will definitely be returning! read more

Awesome desserts too. Make a reservation if you can. It gets packed fast even in a tuesday night . If you dont want to waste time searching yelp for a great place in the berkshires, just go here . Perfect. Get a window seat if possible, there is a river running behind the place that is lit up at night. read more

Must come back here! A cozy classy comfortable gem of place in the Berkshires. No reservations allowed. Owners were so kind and even gave us complimentary dessert since we were there for my birthday and our anniversary. We started with warm bread, sticks, red pepper cheese spread and olives. Salads came free with entree. Get the blue cheese crumbles! Then I had duck confit-cooked perfectly but maybe a slight too much of the cherry dressing. My favorite in MA ever. My husband had a 14oz strip steak with really delicious truffle butter. Each under $40! Ended with a unique and delectable chocolate grand marnier mousse cake-Must get. Service was attentive and polite. Will definitely come back. read more

The man who runs the hotel we stayed at told us that this is a five star restaurant. If I could give it four and a half stars I would. In fairness, I am miserly with my five star reviews. A place has to really knock my socks off. They have to get everything right. My sweetie has worked in fine dinning for many years so we are discerning. She probably would have liked the food but I know she would have been mildly critical of a few details. Fortunately, my daughter and I enjoyed a very good meal. Details like zero drinks listed on the menu that are not cocktails, wine, or beer. Sorry but, not everyone drinks. We had to ask and our server failed to mention that they have my absolute favorite, San Pellegrino in a glass bottle. Not a big deal but, for five stars you gotta tick all the boxes. The mussels were delicious. Although, I favor the ones I make and a few very good places back home. In fairness, I live near the ocean in an area known for world class cuisine. The Ahi Tuna was cooked to perfection. It was resting on a bed of Japanese noodles soaked in the most delicious miso dressing I have ever had. The flavors were perfectly balanced and so subtle that I declined my daughters offer to taste her vegetable curry. She was very happy with it. I was happy to see her remain a member of the clean plate club. She does not always. Unlike my grandfather, I make no mention of it when she fails to finish all the food on her plate other then to ask if she is full. When she eats every bite I know she likes her food. I nearly ordered the prime rib. When they brought out two massive cuts for the couple sitting at the next table I knew I had made the right decision. Were I not hoping to fit in to a suit I may wear to my cousins wedding I most certainly would have indulged. It was cooked to my liking, medium rare, and looked to be as good as any I have had. We skipped dessert, as tempted as were, for obvious reasons. All in all this place is worthy of praise and I would return. Being such a discerning customer I always have patience for those who are making a concerted effort. I would say that this is likely the best restaurant in town. read more

This isn't as much a review as much as passing along what may be helpful: Just a friendly heads up as of June 2021 this restaurant does not accept reservations ahead of time unless it's for a party of five or more. As I'm informed, the restaurant usually doesn't take reservations. Just hoping this information can be useful, as it was to me, if you're planning to come from far away to visit the area. In my case, I like the stability of reservations especially on a weekend night. read more

Went for dinner at Old Mill off of Route 23 near Egremont, MA. The ambiance was warm and welcoming. Decoration and settings were nicely appointed and decorated. We ordered a cocktail of Blackberry syrup and Prosecco. I had the days special soup of puréed wild mushroom and the entree of Prime Rib ( came with Yorkshire Pudding and green beans and horseradish). It was all delicious. The Yorkshire pudding was eggy and tender and mopped up all the meat juices. Dessert was the flourless chocolate cake with cream and strawberries. It was a perfect cap to the evening's meal. I've drove by this place many times but this was the first time I made a point to go and eat there. Makes me wonder why I haven't done this sooner. We spoke with the owners and was told this restaurant has been here for 45 years. Amazing when you do it right, people just keep coming. So glad I came in and will make sure I come back. Wonderful experience. read more

Love the bar, the atmosphere and staff. Have eaten there 6 times in the last year. The food can go from really good, to really bad . My biggest complaint has to be the portions served vs the prices. One visit: Ordered prime rib at approximately 49.00, A thin measley cut of beef. Very disappointing . Taste was fine but such a chintzy cut. No where worth the price. Most places would give u a good piece of meet for the price. Not here. Another visit: Ordered salmon. Was not asked what temp I want it cooked. It came to me very well done and inedible. Sent it back with no trouble at all, but, it still came back medium, (med rare tends to be the norm). Again the filet serving size was very small and much smaller than most restaurant portions. (the price was market though) . Starting this meal I ordered pea soup. The portion was literally 4 bites. So chintzy I could not believe it. To make matters worse it was Luke warm. After dinner I Ordered a glass of 10 year port for approximately 10.00. The pour was so measly I thought I was being punked ! Love the environment, the owner, wait staff, bartender, so Hate to give up, but, they have to revisit their portions across the board. read more

My wife and I had dinner here tonight after being Summer residents of the Berkshires for 10 years - we are so disappointed we didn't come here sooner.

I am a teacher that moved to the Berkshires two years ago. Me and my two friends became loyal customers at the Old Mill, great food and great service. This past Labor Day weekend we made reservations for five, two of our friends canceled, so out of courtesy we called to tell them that we are short two people, and we were told to come in anyways, not a problem. we arrived at 8 at we were told that we lost our reservation and that we have to wait, and when I asked why we were told to come in the old man said you were never told that (it was a women who answered the phone not him, and basically he accused me of lying). We actually decided to wait despite that fact that he was very rude, but after 30 minutes we decided to leave. Sad to say I will never come back. I am sure they don't care. read more

What a great spot. My folks have been coming here since the late 70s. This past September we had such a good dinner there. The owner is a nice guy and held my mother's drink when he showed us to our table...that kind of friendly service. Most things we ate were really delicious. The bread basket was so good (comes with an excellent dip). The french onion soup and salad were perfect. I had the steak poivre which I will definitely get again next time I go. My wife had the shrimp with spaghetti which was good, but there was such a small amount of pasta that it kinda diminished the dish for her....tons of shrimp and tasty sauce, but not enough pasta to really enjoy it. My folks ordered the trout and chicken which they both liked. I'm not a big dessert person, but you need to order the coffee ice cream sundae. It was spectacular. The hot fudge was truly memorable. Don't share it. This is not an inexpensive restaurant, but at the end of the meal I felt that we really received good value. Excellent experience. Look forward to returning. read more

The Old Mill is a favorite of ours. We recently returned and had 2 absolutely amazing dishes from the specials of a day. Mine was "rack of pork" with a sweet potato puree and berry sauce. I have never heard, nor tasted, pork like like that before. It was a rib with a roughly a 6" in diameter piece of pork. No fat, very tender. The 2 accompaniments complimented the pork wonderfully. My father had lamb moussaka, and it was the best I have ever had. The dining room is warm and cozy(and the inviting, tiny bar is even cozier). The owner/chef/maitre d' and general manager are friendly, and we found that trait in every employee that we interacted with. They don't take reservations for less than 5, but it is well worth the wait! read more

This place is one of the best restaurants I've tried in the Berkshires. Most others are mediocre at best. If you like great prime rib and great wine, this is your place. The prime rib is exceptional - so tender, not a ton of fat and very flavorful. Among the best I've had (...and I've had many!). If you enjoy a full bodied Ca. Cab, try the Daou from Paso Robles. This cab for the $55 price point is very special and rivals Ca. cabs costing much more. BTW, the homemade sourdough baguette bread here is to die for. Finally, for dessert try the Grand Marnier chocolate mouse cake or flourless almond cake - both are excellent. Don't go here on a diet as you will quickly lose your will power and thoroughly enjoy a big delicious meal! read more

This place always has a full parking lot so I thought I'd try it. It lives up to the expectation. The complimentary bread and tomato spread is worth the trip alone. I also had oysters that were some of the best I've had. Lastly, I had the panko crusted rainbow trout. It was absolutely delicious. I did find one pin bone but all in all, everything was good. read more

The food was great and the service was amazing. The service couldn't be better! It starts in the parking lot and gets better with each person you meet.
