Beautiful setting, romantic. Menu is mediocre; price are high, bathrooms a wreck! Staff is friendly and helpful. Menu isn't what it use to be and should be reviewed for new dishes and better cooking.... (more)

Nice location on the Podunk River. Walk thru a covered bridge to get in. The food was OK at a recent dinner meeting. There was nothing outstanding about the Baked Stuffed Scrod. Bathrooms could have been cleaner.... (more)

The Mill on the River is very expensive for what you get... the service is not good, the food is mediocre and the bathrooms were a mess. It is pretty but nice ambience doesn't help. I will not go back.... (more)
