    VENISON BOLOGNESE
    Talesha C.

    Great experience overall. We came here on a Sunday. I'd just flown back in from Germany and needed a great meal before getting some much needed rest. We started with the crispy jumbo Thai wings. They were really good and flavored perfectly. I loved the Thai sauce they were coated in. The venison bolognese is a star. I didn't have to add anything to it. I mixed all the ingredients together and let the whipped ricotta coat all over the rigatoni pasta and dove in. Absolutely perfect dish. We also tried to braised beef short rib. It braised beef was tender but we did need to add a little salt and pepper to add flavor to the dish. The restaurant was busy but our server was great and attentive.

    I'm a little late with my review (we ate here a few weeks ago!), but it's definitely five stars! The food was excellent and definitely worth the price, and the service was amazing as well. It was a cute place as well, definitely a hidden gem! Totally recommend

    I LOVE the Mill. From my experience, they have consistently good food and service, even when they are really busy. We tend to sit at the bar, but I've also eaten in the dinning room. I love their onion rings and grilled Caesar salad for bar food. They also make a fabulous old fashioned and killer espresso martini. For dinner, I love their salmon, their shrimp and grits, their trout, or the pork chop. But honestly, I've never had anything here I wouldn't order again. It's in the higher mid-price range, not quite casual dining, but not quite fine dining, but I think it's well worth it. They have a gluten free and vegan menu. My good friend is allergic to both dairy and gluten, and is very concerned about cross contamination, and she is always happy to eat here. They take food allergies very seriously; I love that. They also have a great wine list. Random note: Their bread pudding is the only bread pudding I've ever liked.

    My most recent visit at The Mill started well. I like the decor but they could use some sound dampening as it was very loud inside. I went with the Eggs Benedict this time, and that came with breakfast potatoes. The portion of the potatoes was generous, but they were too salty to eat. The Eggs Benedict was good. I don't know if they offer another side for the dish, but I wouldn't order the salty potatoes again, so if that were the only option, I would need to order something else. The food orders were not brought out to the correct people. I was given a drink refill this visit but just one and my glass was taken rather than refill it with a pitcher. But at least there was a refill. There was a considerable delay in receiving checks, and some were incorrect and had to be corrected. This visit seemed like a hot mess. Hopefully, this was just an off day.

    My friends and I went as soon as they opened and the staff was very welcoming and alert. I had a sweet tea to drink and our waitress was thoughtful enough to bring extra ice considering the tea was freshly brewed! The waitress was also very knowledgeable of the menu and expressed she had tried many items so that was helpful in us deciding on our food. Restrooms were clean and the lighting was perfect for the bar area.

    I went with my friends for Sunday brunch and the food was meh. I really didn't like most of the options on the menu so I settled for the eggs Benedict. We split the monkey bread to start. For the prices, I wasn't really impressed and was not a fan of the almost burnt potatoes.

    Six of us met to chat and eat together at the Mill. Only one of us had been here before, but we all enjoyed it. Katherine helped us with drinks and food over a very nice evening. I had the smash burger and fries. Others had the Ceasar shrimp salad and the venison bolognese. There was a good selection of wines, as well as some fun cocktails. I had the "We demand a shrubbery!", which was a gin-based drink with a peach shrub. highlight. So now, I'm working on making peach shrubs at home, trying to replicate it! Nicely appointed decor, nothing austere or out of the ordinary, but very minimally designed. Tables were far enough apart that you didn't feel you were in each others' laps. And the hostess seated folks with at least one table between, rather than right on top of each other! Other restaurants, take notice! This is a great way to get folks to stay longer and order dessert - even on those nights when the total seats filled is below average. Get more sales per seat! Let people feel they are isolated and able to bond.

    I enjoyed the chili Thai wings and my pesto mushroom flat bread pizza with a Dirty Shirley cocktail. (Adding: the bread pudding was good and different. I would've enjoyed this warm not cold.) Not sure if the waiter's behavior was an indication of colorist bias or not, but the people I was with believe it might have been especially since he was asking us to pass him our dirty plates which is not our jobs as customers. You as a waiter should not be reaching over people glasses. If the plates are not in a reachable place you should wait until we leave to clear the table. We are not on your payroll SIR. This should be addressed. This is also the same guy that sent us to the opposite dinning room bc he didn't have any low tables. The hostess brought us right back over to his area where he had a table unnecessarily reserved that she sat us at. Overall, I've enjoyed The Mill food on two occasions now but the service on this evening needs major improvements. Coaching on soft skills, waiter etiquette and pleasantries.

    STEAK SALAD
    Peyton W.

    Oh my gosh, what a great find! Absolutely blown away by all the food here. The ambiance is so cozy while also being elegant and refined. It's a true gem of a spot. I still dream about this steak salad I got.

    We had to drive over to the Flea Market located on the NC Fairgrounds and while in that area, I remembered an establishment that I had not frequented since moving away from the area. I recommended that we go. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I found that a new restaurant called, The Mill, had opened in its place, and with a very tasty brunch menu and exceptional decor. I am always going to gravitate to Shrimp and Grits on any menu, and my husband is always going to seek a burger when available. We both found what we were looking for. The Shrimp and Grits were so different from what I am accustomed but they were out of this world, outstanding. The Breakfast Burger was equally delicious, and while messy, it was the "every bite counts, slurp it up and wash ya hands later" kinda great! Service was exceptional, had a lovely chat with an out of state transplant that worked the bar, and our server was extremely friendly and made excellent recommendations. If I didn't mention it enough, the decor was stunning in the dining area. Call me IMPRESSED! We will be back!!!! 1000000% sure of it and you must try this place if you haven't already!!!!

    CLASSIC EGGS BENEDICT*
    Les B.

    Was a beautiful day so we sat outside for brunch. They had a spacious patio That had umbrellas up that protected us from the sun. They also had heaters for when there is colder weather. We always look for the best eggs benedict, so after shopping we googled a spot near by that sounded good, and we pulled in to try. The parking lot was very full but we managed to find a spot in the shopping strip mall area. We got sat right away and everyone was very nice. Our server was attentive and took the time to wipe off the pollen that accumulated quickly in this NC spring weather before we started dining. The food came out quickly and tasted good. The eggs benedict came with little potatoes. If I was to come back, I would try something else as a side(The potato bites were a little dried up, which was ok in our situation because the pup got to eat the non seasoned ones anyhow). We got a cute little note and picture on our check out. Would be interested in trying other options here too.

    There is a 5% charge for takeout. Good to know.

    This place is very delicious and I love that they use compostable bags for their takeout. I came here today around 4-5pm for some takeout. It took a bit longer than what they had told me but the food was still really good so not a huge deal. The vibes are chill, classy but warm. Great for a meal or just stopping at the bar for a nice cocktail. The employees I spoke with were friendly and courteous and helpful. I didn't catch the name of the first guy who helped me/took my order but he was the best, most friendly, and gave me recommendations on food. He had brown hair that was kinda curly. I would say the other employees were courteous but not friendly. I ordered the fried biscuits, kids menu salmon and Mac and cheese for my daughter with a side of bacon. It's $2 for a side of bacon and came with 3 pieces. Totally worth it. Good quality bacon, not too crispy. Tried her food too. The salmon was absolutely incredible and so was the mash but the broccolini was too stringy/fibrous. Mac and cheese is fantastic as well. Do not recommend the ny strip which was super chewy and seemed like a low quality cut of meat to be honest. It also had some sauce on top of it which was unnecessary. They said the ny strip comes with fries but you can swap it out for a different side if you'd like. They were nice. On the soggier side but I like soggy fries. Overall just way too pricey for what you get though. The fried biscuits were awesome. They are dense and more of a hockey puck shape and duck fried. If you don't like dense biscuits then steer clear. My daughter and I enjoyed them though and they go great with the pepper jelly (reminds me of sweet chili sauce). Yum. Definitely will be returning but opting out of getting steak. For steak I recommend going to Oak downtown! As far as appetizers, the guy who took my order recommended the wings and the fried biscuits. I'll definitely be trying the wings and dining in next time!

    Smash  or Pass
    Black2Soul E.

    Food was good. We sat on bar side. We were rushing, so we were happy there was hardly anyone on that side. I had Porkchop orzo rice and broccolini and hubby had salmon with potatoes. Everything was flavorful and tender, not overcooked. I really enjoyed my orzo. No complaints there. The two biggest disappointments was my Smash or Pass drink. It tasted like tart cranberry juice. Barely any alcohol. Waitress had to return because the bartender either didn't know, didn't care or forgot to add simple syrup. Yuk! And 2ndly, The bread pudding was an all time low on the dessert scale. All I tasted was salt. It was going to be my evening snack and for all that money, it went in the trash.

    This place appears to be a local favorite and fills up quick with reservations on the weekend…read more Packing is in a lot throughout the shopping center. The staff who greeted us was extremely friendly and accommodating. We were sat with the stipulation that there was a reservation behind us in an hour and a half which was very doable for us. I do not partake in alcohol so I was appreciative of the zero proof menu options. I ordered the Jesse and it was sweet but sour, it balanced itself very well. My fiance loved his old fashioned with an orange and fig bourbon. Our waiter was direct and down to business, likely because they were busy, but a great waiter none the less. The food was excellent! Elevated American bar food that was cooked to perfection and had some nice fusion flavors: sesame tuna with edamame, goat cheese, walnuts and a special kind of beet that made my salad fresh and earthy. Truffle and onions with smashed burger dipped in bubbly cheese is a comfort food dream. Same with the Mac n cheese with bacon, really tickles the indulgence fancy! I do recommend this place, especially if you have friends who love bourbon or other kinds of whiskey!

It was very tart like cranberry and not very strong. I also ordered the grilled chicken sliders no mayo or tomato. It came with two. They were tasty. Slightly overcooked, but the cheese helped enough. I also had to order fries on the slide, which was slightly disappointing because the two sliders are already $15 and fries $8.50, even though I didn't order the side sauces that come with it. It felt $2 overpriced in both instances. I don't know if I'd get again, but the fries were seasoned well. My fiancé ordered the braised pork shoulder. The meat was tender and had a decent flavor. The mac and cheese was okay, nothing special. Overall, the dish was drowned in too much barbecue sauce to the point he felt he was eating more sauce than the entree. He subbed sprouts with fries, which were tasty. He wouldn't order again. It was a big portion though. Service was good. Music was okay, a bit random, but still fun.

Let's not overlook the tomato soup - it's so rich and flavorful. For a lighter lunch my go to is the tuna panini with broccoli salad. They are known for their boards, I've not had the bruschetta yet but it looks delicious. My favorite board is the hummus. One thing I hate is when a restaurant gives you a big bowl of hummus and not enough pita. That is not the case here, you'll get pita, toasted bread, and a variety of vegetables to scoop up the velvety humus covered in cherry tomatoes, red onion and feta. For date night enjoy a Violet Femme a gin cocktail that tastes as lovely as it looks. The service here is top notch! Everyone is fantastic. I'll have to come back to this review to note the serves names we've had because they have all been exceptional. Now let's talk about the vibe! Postino's nailed the indoor/outdoor feel. Plenty of windows that are open on nice days, plants galore and the decor gives you a cool like rockstar but classy feel. 5 stars doesn't feel like enough.
