SWEETEST SERVICE EVER!! Our servers were the kindest people, we had a great time! Thank you

I had a late lunch. As soon as I stepped in I was greeted. I sat by the water outdoors. There is outdoor of indoor seating. All staff were super friendly, several checked in on me. They def knew their menu. Immediately brought water with cucumber and lemon, very refreshing. I ordered the bread with butter to start, it was excellent. That butter just melts on every bite, taking the bread to the next level. Staff recommended the Rachel pastrami. It did not disappoint. It was very simple. However the combination of the thousand Island, sauerkraut, the pastrami and buttered bread just made it so delicious. It was decently meat packed too. The sandwich came with fries which I inhaled the ketchup that they brought me extra. It also came with two types of coleslaw both were delish. They were not overwhelming with dressing. The yellow one was interesting bc I thought it was turmeric but it was slightly sweet. Delish as well. Also ordered their Italian prosecco. I'm into red wine but for some reason perhaps the environment I felt the prosecco would work and it did! It was bubbly refreshing, tasty, and not dry. Their restroom was big and clean. This is in the Jack London Village. They have parking on both ends. The village has other restaurants and wine tasting as well. read more

Such a cute, quaint little spot tucked away in Glen Ellen! The setting is beautiful, especially with the historic water wheel running alongside the restaurant. It has a cozy, rustic charm that makes you want to slow down and enjoy your meal. Here's what we tried: Lemon Drop Martini - Refreshing and well-balanced. A solid way to kick off lunch. Della Fattoria Bread - Our waiter hyped it up as "the best bread in California." Maybe my expectations were a little too high because...it was just okay to me. Good, but not the showstopper I was expecting. Brussels Sprouts - These were really good! Perfectly roasted with lots of flavor. Spicy Sweet Chili Wings - THE STAR OF THE SHOW! These were hands down the best thing we ordered. Crispy, sticky, sweet with just the right amount of heat...absolutely delicious! I'd honestly come back just for these. Clam Chowder - Creamy, comforting, and a nice starter. Bacon Cheeseburger - A solid burger that definitely hit the spot. My only real complaint? The wings. Not the flavor--the portion size. For $20, I think the order should include at least 8-10 wings. You get six (the sixth one is hiding under the garnish in my photo ), and one of them was noticeably smaller than the others. They were so good that I just wished there had been more! Overall, I really enjoyed my visit. Between the charming atmosphere, friendly service, and those unforgettable wings, I'd definitely come back again. Next time, I'll probably skip the bread and go straight for another order of those wings! read more

Our group of 6 were touring Sonoma Valley and selected The Mill as our lunch spot. We made reservations ahead for their outdoor patio, and our table was already ready for us when we arrived. The outdoor patio was perfect for the lovely sunny day. Large umbrellas provided shade while the many plants and decor on the patio, and the greenery surrounding the patio, gave a charming vibe. The wait staff was terrific. The server explained the menu and recommended customers' favorites. Our group had their wonderful clam chowders, caesar salad, fire oven pizzas, and wagyu burgers. We loved that where we were sharing dishes, the kitchen thoughtfully split the entree or appetizer into separate plates/bowls. I think they also increased the portions a little as well which was really generous of them. The chowder and burgers were really good as our server promised. We enjoyed a nice sunny afternoon without feeling rushed. We would come back again for the terrific food and great service. read more

Came here for Mother's Day and unfortunately it did not meet the star ratings on yelp. Granted, the menu did warn us upon sitting that it's hard to find staff and that the wait maybe a little long. That being said, it took about 2 hours to get our food. Other tables seated after us got their food before we did. My husband's $45 pork chop was thin and dry. My filet was pretty good but nothing special given the price of $65. The servers were all super kind and working very hard which is why more than one star, but I can't say the food was worth the wait unfortunately. Be sure to ask to sit outside-it seems to have a beautiful deck with great tree cover. We were inside and there were flies buzzing about. read more

Amazing and attentive service. A great place to celebrate all occasions, and you're in wine country, but less pretentious than Napa. We came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and can't wait to come back to celebrate more happy times together. Staff hustle and bustle here. There's plenty of parking in their lot. Get the pork chop, very succulent. Last time the gorgeous patio was not open; it is now. The little walk through the mill is so cute with mini waterfalls flowing through the creek and birds chirping. They have a decent menu of cocktails, beer and wines...never an empty glass of water btw. They have Della Fattoria bread FTW! Who doesn't love Della Fattoria fresh breads, not really a question! Their desserts are divine and always worth saving some room for. The presentation of the food is colorful - everything is made with love. 'Til next time ~ cheers and see you on Yelp (SYOY)! read more

Just a wonderful experience from start to finish. After arriving without a reservation for lunch, the staff graciously accommodated us with water and a bench. After a short 20 minute wait we were shown to the beautiful outdoor seating area. We both ordered the Wagyu cheeseburger which was enormous and very satisfying. We plan to return soon. read more

A cold brisk afternoon off for an anniversary day drive through the mayacamas vineyards... arriving at the Jack London building and the old mill.. to have lunch at the oldest structure ... in the area "the mill" circa 1839. Surprisingly delicious food ( very vegetarian pescatarian friendly) in the middle of a very quaint town outside of the downtown Sonoma area. We enjoyed the stellar service, and delicious food in a beautiful setting in the forest and old mill surrounded by a delightful sculpture walk ( wheelchair accessible) 1. Creamy red bell pepper soup 2. mixed seasonal salad garnished with edible flowers 3. della fattoria sourdough bread with garlic olive oil and parmesan 4. Entree : potato cakes and crisped vegetables atop a grain medley ! Delicious with a crisp pepper and hot oil infusion paste. 5. Basque Cheesecake fresh berries Unbelievable tasty ! Unforgettable service. Thank you Dana Jaffe and staff for an unbelievable afternoon meal! note: Dana Jaffe is also a gifted jewelry artist utilizing "clay molds" ... breathtaking read more

My friends and I are confused by how highly rated this restaurant is. Food was below average tasted like it was reheated in a microwave. Service was amazing. Everyone was so attentive and so sweet. The environment was beautiful and cozy. Loksa: 3.5/5 the udon noodles had a weird texture. They should be pretty smooth and bouncy but this one tasted overcooked? Or maybe the noodles were sitting in the soup for too long. Veggie pizza: 3/5 absolutely nothing special about this pizza. The breading just broke apart, like a stale piece of bread. The cheese had no flavor tomato sauce just tasted straight out of a tomato paste can. Overall, I felt like everything we ordered was pretty bland in flavor. Disappointed, especially with how steep the prices. read more

This is a hidden gem, which should rightfully deserve much more recognition. The atmosphere, staff and service, and food hit every mark I'd expect at a high end restaurant. Stopped in for a birthday dinner for my birthday weekend and truly felt like a king. Right from the start, we were greeted by friendly staff and promptly seated. Before even getting settled in, we were offered fresh cucumber and lemon infused ice water, and like clockwork, our wonderful waitress, Alex, gave us a quick run down of the menu and top hits. We ended up ordering the bread, Brussels sprouts, clam chowder, and pork chops. Every dish was fresh, tasted amazing, and had the presentation of an upscale restaurant. Even the birthday treat and celebration by the whole staff made me feel warm, welcomed, and appreciated. Throughout the entire service, the staff consistently checked in on us to clear plates and ensure our experience met expectations - which they certainly did! Highly recommend stopping here! read more

The Mill has such a rustic and warm charm with staff that gives it soul and life; Split Pea soup was comforting and packed with nutritious deliciousness! Seasonal Tomato Salad was drizzled with a beautiful balsamic glaze which complimented sweetness of the fresh tomatoes. Indian-Inspired Rice Pudding with coconut milk, pistachios, etc and cardamom infused flavors was perfect ending to our lunch experience at The Mill. The added birthday candle to the dessert was such a delightful surprise. First (and certainly not our last) culinary experience at The Mill. read more

Such a lovely setting for a restaurant. We wanted to sit outside with all the greenery but no tables were available. The interior is well designed and we were pleased with sitting there. Our service could not have been any better. Due to confusion with a reservation, the manager comped part of our order. The bread that is crisped and dipped in olive oil with Parmesan is to die for. My friend enjoyed their black bean soup very much - loads of veggies and not too chick. My Caesar salad was a bit blah although large- I was unable to finish. I sampled my friend's crispy tofu and it was scrumptious. I'd like to return and sit on the patio on my next visit. read more

Dip that in the red bean soup!! *mind blown* We haven't gotten our house pizza yet but I can't imagine it being any less than epic. So thankful we came here!!! Yummmmm!!!

Lovely place to stop for lunch, by the river. The restaurant is located at an actual old mill, and the whole setting is charming. Inside is cozy with a fireplace. And outside you can eat on the deck and hear the river. Every server I encountered was helpful and friendly. I ate the wagyu burger and my girlfriend enjoyed the clam chowder. Both were delicious.

A perfect evening at The Mill in Glen Ellen From the moment we walked in, The Mill delivered on every front--warm atmosphere, attentive service, and food that felt like art on a plate. The creamy clam chowder was pure comfort, served with classic oyster crackers and a floral-garnished drink that added a whimsical touch. I had the salmon dish that was as flavorful as it was stunning--delicate, fresh, and paired with vibrant vegetables and herbs that made each bite sing. And the Burnt cheesecake? Absolutely divine. Creamy, caramelized, and topped with fresh berries and edible flowers--it was almost too pretty to eat (but we did, and loved every bite). The staff was incredibly accommodating, making us feel welcome and cared for without ever being overbearing. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want a memorable meal in a charming setting, The Mill is a must. read more

May 2, 2025 Exceptional. The food, the service, and the outdoor garden patio seating next to Sonoma Creek all made for a wonderful dining experience. We arrived, with our pup, just as they opened. We were able to get a table with a view overlooking Sonoma Creek. The outdoor patio is filled with beautiful plants and flowers, hummingbird feeders and hummingbirds. You feel happy just being there. The servers are friendly and pretty much amazing. We were treated like special honored guests. Our puppy was given a water bowl and a giant milk bone. Service was quick, and attentive. Our water glasses did not even get half way to empty before they were filled again. And the food! We ordered the Warm Della Fattoria ($10). It was delicious, served with parmesan, butter and olive oil. I also ordered a wonderful glass of rose'. For our main course, my husband and I decided to split the butternut squash ravioli (with braised greens, butternut squash, roasted chestnuts and a luscious lemon cream sauce). The kitchen split the meal for us, beautifully individually plating each serving. A++++ Everything was so delicious, we could not leave without having dessert. We had the chocolate mousse with raspberry and fresh fruit. The perfect ending to a perfect meal. read more

Am amazing last minute find. A slightly hidden area. Comfortable infoor or outdoor seating. Staff was accommodating as we did not have reservations after a long day of wine tasting . Our appetizer...the flatbtrad with goat cheese and roasted chickpeas was delicious. Our main courses were.. the butternut squash ravioli....amazing sauce.... fresh and delicious My vegetarian pizza was one of the best I have ever had.. tons of fresh veggies, not excessively cheesy. Staff worked as a great team. All were kind and available. They also completely understood we may have been drinking wine and there was no pressure to drink wine or cocktails. We would definitely go back. read more

This is worth the drive. The venue is beyond gorgeous and the food is so good and the staff is very friendly and attentive. I chose to sit on the patio because of how beautiful it was. Inside was nice too. I started the bread, which was covered in olive oil, basil and parmesian. So good. Next I had the House green salad which was almost too pretty to eat. The entree was the New Zealand rack of lamb. This was so well prepared and came with garlic mashed potatoes and beautiful vegetables. I ended the meal with the Basque cheesecake. OMG, this was so silky, with a mild vanilla flavor. Loved the berries. Please keep them in business. read more

Enjoyed dinner here: mix green salad with delicious vinaigrette, brussel sprouts, house pizza, churros. Brussel sprouts were roasted well - bacon bits, balsamic glaze and grated cheese were an excellent mix. Churros came with dark chocolate sauce, caramel sauce and berries. Caramel sauce was so tasty and not your typical grocery store syrup. Some of the best service we've had at a restaurant in Sonoma (where service is already pretty good overall.) The server was very engaging and sweet. The rest of the staff were friendly and attentive. Don't hesitate to try this restaurant. Will be back to try other items that looked delicious. read more

If you are lucky enough to get to dine at The Mill, consider yourself one of the chosen people. You will have one of the most outstanding experiences with delights in every bite and in its picturesque glory. We were warmly greeted by Sanjeev, one of the 6 partners. It seems like every one of the staff and the owners takes pride in the restaurant and enjoys working there. There is pure artistry in the presentation and flavors of every dish. There wasn't one thing we were treated to that didn't score a 10. The vibe, the lighting, the ambiance all worked to round out this great experience. It was our 47 th anniversary and they made it even more special. I hope you love it like we did. read more

I've had some great experiences there but not all of them. If I had the pre-Fix meal the first time I went I would not have gone back. Love the butternut squash raviolis but I got maybe half the regular size and nowhere near as pretty as set up with the shaved parmesan. You need to look to see what the specials are prior because you may want to go for scallops like my friend but they didn't have them that particular night. The pork chops are thick and nicely grilled but mine was overcooked both times. The brussels sprouts are to die for! I don't really care for any of the desserts but I'm not a huge dessert person anyway. Especially the one with the coconut rice, no thank you. I've only had wine there once I had their house white and I hate to put any winery or place down but it tasted very watery to me. I got a second glass to stick with the same thing and that tasted the same. I can get buzzed on wine pretty easily and I wasn't driving but I felt nothing so I've never ordered wine again because as you know the bills add up very quickly. That being said I love the atmosphere and I love the deck outside and if you're inside the fireplace is really nice. It's an old historic mill and it's beautifully rustic and next to a stream so give it a try! The pizzas are pretty good but so far the only thing I would really return again and again for is the butternut squash and the brussels sprouts. I have gone back several times for those! Very friendly, very accommodating people that work and manage the place. Overall ambience, it's one of my favorite places. read more

Went to The Mill last night for dinner-what a fantastic experience! Very cute ambience, exceptional service, and delicious food. We had the masala potatoes, the house salad, the wagu burger, a chocolate cake and the cheesecake - all extremely yummy! My boyfriend wanted the chocolate cake and I wanted the cheesecake so I agreed to the chocolate cake but they brought out a complementary cheesecake .Tony and Sasha took really good care of us. Our waitress, Saha introduced us to the owner, Sanjeev. He was wonderful too. We were very impressed and definitely will be coming back. Highly recommend! read more

Service. Greeted immediately and open seating so we grabbed a spot above the creek but later realized it was on the way to the service entrance for the kitchen. Ambiance. We were taken aback by the clutter and random struggling plants and planters and colored lights that appeared to be leftover holiday decor. The aesthetic didn't align with the historic building or setting so it was a mismatch. Rather distracting and odd to have an igloo cooler on a shelf outside the kitchen - what was in there? Food. It was ok. The menu has a lot of Indian dishes which was surprising. Maybe the chef or owners are Indian? Prices seemed high for quality and presentation. In Sonoma, I am thinking of more farm to fork cuisine but we saw other reviews. We tried the flat bread with fried chickpeas and goat cheese spread? While it was good, I'm afraid the flatbread was premade and they just reheated with a few toppings. Split the wagyu burger and while it was good, it was also a premade bun not bakery quality with prepackaged Cole slaw and the pickled vegetables appeared to be the same Cole slaw with spices. The fries were also in oil that didn't taste good. I walked by the neighboring Songbird and was pretty sad it was only open for dinner as it is more of what I was thinking of. I know it is hard to have a restaurant right now and wish them the best. read more

This was the standout experience of our trip! Looks pretty unassuming, but the creativity and attention to the craft of cooking is stellar. We were a party of six and ordered a variety of dishes. All were terrific (except for the pizza which was just okay). The noodle soup and the vegetarian croquettes were so good. And the bread appetizer dish is something I think about regularly. Order that for sure. Sounds simple, but the flavor combo is fantastic! Also, the service was impeccable. Even though we were a party of six, and the appetizer technically feeds four, they just added on a couple pieces and didn't charge us extra. We definitely appreciated that. read more

What a lovely experience this was. Five stars for what this restaurant is- a casual dining experience in an absolutely beautiful setting. The food was lovely and hit the spot! Spicy chorizo flatbread, salads (a bit overdressed for our taste), the udon soup and fettuccini with grilled chicken special. All delicious! The cocktails were lovely too! Where TMAGE shines is in its service. They could not have been more pleasant, welcoming, and kind. We will definitely be back! Note- lots of parking! That's always a huge plus for me! :) read more

We saw this restaurant on Yelp and decided to try it. We were very impressed with the setting, service, and food. Our lunch was the wagyu burger and Brussels sprouts.

(Visited 03/09/2025) My husband and chose this spot for a date , a well deserved date ; we hadn't been on a date since our first child was born 3 1/2 years ago . I know ; sad. A friend of ours after telling us every day day to go on a date they pick this spot for us and made the reservation so we had no excuse, since they had also offer to babysit. The owner and his peers were welcoming, friendly people and they were bilingual-spanish and i mentioned this because it was delightful to interact with them in a mix slang.

Found this place on our way into Sonoma as a stop for lunch. Lovely setting and great friendly service. Our host and waiter was most gracious and quickly helped with suggestions. The wine and the lunch was fabulous. So much so that we booked a reservation for Saturday night dinner. Upon return we were greeted by our same host and we were quickly shown to a nice table. Again we took his suggestions and everything was perfect. Some of the best lamb chips I've ever had. He suggested a dessert and bragged about his Equatorial coffee. It was to die for, along with the rice pudding dessert. Such a pleasant experience, I hope you get to enjoy as much as we did. #stevensleavin read more

We were running a little late, about 15 mins, so I called ahead to let them know. They were very nice about it. (I hate being late for reservations.) Our party of five was sat outside at a high top table. It was a nice sunny day. Luckily, they had umbrellas outside for shade. My favs were the green salad, fries, and pizza. Most of the dishes were sweet and savory which is not really my jam unless you incorporate spice. But everyone else in the party seemed to enjoy everything. Service was great! I believe they may have forgotten about our green salad, so they ended up comping it, which was a nice gesture. Great spot for a meal in Glen Ellen if you are wine tasting in Sonoma. And pretty easy to get a rezzie. REVIEW #3550 read more

Love this place in general. The food is always good. The atmosphere is also very nice. Especially because they sat us outside this time which we requested and it was a beautiful day. The only downside is I think something happened with the order or the kitchen was just super backed up. Food took a very long time to come out but the manager was attentive and apologized and did everything he could to make it right which I greatly appreciated. Staff in general was very nice as well. I waitress was funny and spoke her mind which I always appreciate raw true genuine people. The lamb burger my buddy ordered looked amazing and liked it. We all ordered the wagyu burger and also good.

Honey and I decided to "ball out" on our short weekend in Sonoma county this weekend, and in addition to the numerous beautiful vineyards in the area, we stumbled upon some of the best bites we've ever tried. Enter The Mill at Glen Ellen. This restaurant is One of like 6-7 in this small town and serves up new American dishes, cocktails, and desserts. All of their ingredients are fresh and locally grown in Sonoma, and we were so impressed with the care put into each dish. Despite being chilly in the evenings, the restaurant boasts a beautiful outdoor seating area (indoor available as well), with a rustic, romantically lit deck. The serving staff was quite small, but some of the most attentive people we'd ever experienced. We had the pleasure of speaking with the owner, bartender, and head chef, who were all rotating through the restaurant throughout the night. The portions were massive but not heavy. We enjoyed the heirloom tomato salad with mozzarella, bacon Brussels sprouts, poached salmon and veggies, and butternut squash ravioli. Naturally we also enjoyed wine from the region as well as cocktails. Skipped out on the in house brewed beer this time, but we will definitely be back! read more
