The Mill was built in 1859 by a Scottish immigrant named George McLean. The village of Aberfoyle was named after a small village below the Trossachs mountains, about 40 km north of Glasgow, by another Scottsman named George MacFarlane. The Mill Originally functioned as a grist mill, powered by the pond situated at the back of the building. In 1867, the Mill won a gold medal, for its oatmeal at the World's Fair in Paris.more...See more text
The warm welcome we recieved at the door set us on our way. Margaret was our server and was professional while keeping a sense of humour. (Thanks Margaret)
Our appetizers arrived promptly and the although the spicy shrimp was wonderful the clam chowder was the best I have ever tasted. A delicate smoky flavour made it top notch.
My halibut was a special that was pesto crusted and melted in your mouth. (I should add the presentation made it a shame to eat it. I should have brought a camera) The linguine had ample portions of Tiger Shrimp and was very wonderfully balanced.
I would recommend this resteraunt to anyone who will listen (in fact I have bent co-workers ears all day)
Thank-you for making my 15th anniversary a very special one.
Many thanks to Mararget for selcting the perfect wine to go with the meal.
I had been here several years ago and had a wonderful experience,. so I was looking forward to returning. The atmosphere is very cosy and we were warmly welcomed at the door. Our waitress was very friendly and efficient. The order was promptly taken and food arrived in very good time. We all enjoyed our very generous sized appetizers, each of us trying a bit of everything. We agreed that the paté appetizer was the best of the 3 and that all of them were exceptional value for money. Honestly, after the complimentary yummy bread and butter, I could have had the paté appetizer as my meal! Anyway, all the main courses were again delicious, well presented and we again tasted each other's meals. I usually don't care much for beef, but I found that the prime rib was exceptional. My linguini was perfect and the haddock was just a combination of superb layers of flavours. Despite being very full, we ordered and shared 2 desserts... again, excellent! The cheesecake was a delight and my friend, who is a creme brulee aficionado, pronounced it excellent . Tip: I found out that the cheesecake and the creme brulee are the only 2 desserts made in-house. So, consider that when ordering dessert.
I would return here in an instant, to have a wonderful casual evening out or to celebrate something very special. Highly recommended!

This place use to be one of the best, however it appears that things have changed. The place was dirty and smelled of cigarette smoke there was cob webs hanging from the celing. It was pretty clear that they smoke in there, I guess my only question is what is going on in the kitchen where I could not see. If they allow the place to be so dirt in the dining room. The food was ok but the service was poor at best. Sad to see.

Always a good place for a quiet, cozy meal by the fire. Ambience is good, food is simple and cooked well. Place is quite large with sitting for many but good room planning has kept it intimate. Family or couple groups should feel comfortable here.

The entire meal was wonderful and our service was equally as wonderful. We have been there many times and will continue to go. I just love the tables in front of the fireplace.
