    My family was in town from the Twin Cities for a baseball tournament, and I spent some time…read moresearching for the right spot to bring a group - The Old Mill Restaurant immediately caught my attention, and I'm so glad it did. We had a group of seven adults and a baby, and when I called late in the afternoon, they were able to accommodate us at exactly the time we desired. From the moment I pulled up, I had a good feeling. The exterior has that historic charm, and inside it's beautifully updated while still keeping the character of the building. We were seated in a semi-private room overlooking the dam, which made the whole experience feel even more special. The service was fantastic - attentive without being overbearing - and the food absolutely delivered. Our table ordered a variety of dishes, from the smash burger to salmon and rice, shrimp, steak, and even the French onion soup. Everything was spot on. And I have to mention the dirty martini with hand-stuffed blue cheese olives... incredible. Every single person in our group enjoyed their meal, the drinks, and the atmosphere. Highly recommend - this will definitely be our go-to spot the next time we're in town.

    Super awesome…read more Ambiance was excellent. Beautiful building sitting next to a waterfall. Seating is both inside and out and both are great. Service was perfect. No issues very attentive. Food. Ribeye was cooked perfectly. Poutine was on point. I would suggest adding the meat. It's a nice touch. Stuffed dates were incredible. I realize it sounds odd, but the flavors are a great combo. The only oddity about this place was parking. Be ready to parallel park on the street. Very odd parking situation.

    You want a great place to grab a great tasting beer? This is the place. I'm wrong to limit the…read moregreatness to the beer, the wine is pretty tasty as well. Atmosphere is laid back and the music is just loud enough to hear and hum along to while still being able to hear the conversation of the people you came with. Conversation with others and beer is always better than beer and your own thoughts. I'd recommend getting a flight. They make suggestions if you're not sure what to get and this way you get a taste of what's on tap. Go ahead and let your tastebuds discover a new craft beer from around the country! You're in Iowa. If you can't get out a little, at least let your tastebuds travel. Also had a glass of the Cow Catcher wine, a very yummy red. Good local and national roots behind the winery that makes it, be sure to ask about it.

    This is a great place to get a crafted beer. Don't know what you like? No problem, they'll let you…read moretaste test before you purchase at no charge. Yeah, no kidding! No food, but you can bring your own. No loud music or tv's, this is a place to have a conversation or play games, they have an assortment to choose from. Nice relaxed atmosphere, definitely a place where everyone knows your name, if not when you arrive, definitely when you leave.

    The Paddler's Tap - 5 of 6 beers in my flight. These 5oz samples were a great selection of what was on tap. If able, try a Left Hand, crafted in Longmont, CO.
