Une belle place à visiter et a prendre des photos. Je ne suis pas entrer au restaurant alors je ne peux pas donner mon avis.

I have been to the Ancaster mill a handful of times including brunch & dinner. The property speaks for itself as every part of it is picture perfect (no wonder people have their wedding pictures taken here! It’s absolutely stunning all year round)! But what really impressed me was the level of hospitality that they provide you with. The moment you step foot onto property, the valet is there to greet you with a big, friendly smile and open the door for you (which made me and my family feel extra special). The hosts, servers, and other staff are all extremely attentive and willing to go above and beyond for their guests. The food is amazing too! I love how they utilize what is in season to provide their guests with the freshest ingredients.

I also decided to celebrate my birthday this year and plan a special event at the mill. I chose to rent out the solarium space for my birthday and the planning process was so smooth and easy. Everyone involved truly made it an amazing experience for myself and my guests. The staff went above and beyond and I am so beyond grateful for them! Thank you to the staff and management for making my birthday so special and memorable.

I look forward to my next reservation 🙂

We drove from Toronto this weekend for my mom’s birthday. It was a gorgeous location, and the falls was a cherry on top of course! The overall ambiance and design of the restaurant was beautiful - our cameras were out quite often if that helps lol.

Service was also good, although we weren’t able to be seated near the water, our server was still very accommodating. Drinks were great and food came out in a timely manner.

However my only disappointment was the food. Besides the mushroom linguine everything else was not so great. Steak was very salty, burger was not flavoured at all and overall the food seemed very bland. Considering the price of the meals I hoped the food would be worth it. But I guess the views made up for it.

Overall we really did enjoy our time here. If the food was better I would definitely consider coming back!

The food always tastes better with beautiful scenery and Ancaster Mill is no exception. My family is never a fan of buffet, but this time is really an exception. The only underwhelming element in this meal would be the dessert, it wasn’t bad but not as great as everything else we had.

Imagine having a brunch looking at a waterfall on a fine autumn Sunday. It can’t get any better than starting off with a freshly roasted coffee and some fluffy croissant and scones. Followed by a plate of smoked salmon and some crab legs as appetizer, we cheered the day with some mimosa. We had two hours to slowly work down the menu, so I had prime rib until to my content, the beef rib was also amazing as it falls off the bone and the marinade/season is perfect. Wife said the benedict was good as well, and the kids enjoyed the fried salmon steaks… we were full for the rest of the day.

Service is great, our servers were very professional and proactive. We could tell they were very busy serving multiple tables, but they didn’t miss anything and always had a smile on their faces. This is the kind of service which I feel perfectly fine with tipping them fairly, well deserved.

After the meal we had a great walk around the premise, there were a lot of great spots for photos/video in this historical building. I would come again when the family comes down to Hamilton and area later to see the autumn leaves.

My visit to Ancaster Mill was an unforgettable experience! The place was immaculate, and the restaurant was absolutely my cup of tea. Everything was well-organized, and the staff were active, polite, and presentable. The evening was filled with happiness and fun, making it a truly memorable visit, especially for my first trimester stop. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience.

We had dinner here last night and it was an amazing experience. The view of the waterfall was truly amazing. The food and the service exceeded our expectations. Everything we ordered tasted fresh, high quality, and flavourful. Even though the food was expensive, the generous portions, the flavour, and the high quality of the food made up for it. When we ordered Rosemary Focaccia as an appetizer, they gave us a whole loaf! We were really happy about this because it was so good, especially the cranberry butter that it came with. We decided take the rest home and we plan to eat it for the rest of the week. The Beet and Burrata was pretty good too. The Squash Risotto was an absolute flavour bomb and I would highly recommend it! The Braised Beef Short Rib was cooked to perfection. It was huge, so I took half of it home and look forward to eating it for lunch today! The chocolate truffle dessert was excellent as well. We told them we were celebrating a birthday, and so they added a little candle next to the dessert, which was a nice touch that I really appreciated! Our server was very professional and wrapped up all our take away items for us. The food also arrived very quickly. Overall, we would highly recommend Ancaster Mill.

I LOVE this place! Food and service are top notch. The food is so good that I bought the cookbook. Totally recommend for weddings and a special night out.

Lovely place! Absolutely gorgeous. The food was good too.
Our server was so sweet she was amazing!!! The hostess (2 of them) who greeted and sat us looked like they hate being there, no smile just cold… but I am reviewing the place so 5 stars it is.
