| - *Review of Dinner*
WOW! Didn't know this little piece of Shakespeare was in the city (and by that, I mean the Tudor style of the Inn and the little fake river that could be Stratford-Upon-Avon!)
I took the subway and Old Mill Station was it. A 3 minute walk down picturesque homes and lush trees and there is the Old Mill in all its charmingness. There was a marriage happening and I can imagine some awesome pictures being taken. We have the bridges and the forest-like trees and the overall Jane-Austen-forest- ambiance.
My parents and I decided to walk around a bit and take pictures. Then we sat at the patio and had a bottle of white. How lovely. I wasn't expecting much of the food, but WOW, it actually is delish! Because the air was hot and muggy, we decided to have our dinner in the main dining room, but by the atrium-like room with all-around windows to take advantage of the light and scenery. I had the Tuna Poke for app which was excellent and YUM; refreshing and tasty. Perfect for a hot summer day. Then, because of all the 4 days of swimming I did during the week, I ordered the Veal Chop to feed my ravenous hunger. A crispy skin with juicy and tender meat inside. YUM! No skimpy portions here as the veal was the size of my head.
We couldn't pass up desserts so we had the cheesecake and 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream. Nothing to cry over, but it was a perfect ending. Service was great. Wines are very decently priced such that we were able to order two more bottles of a decent Pinot without batting an eye.
So, yes, I get why this place is popular for special occasions, weddings, date nights, brunches, etc...It really combines great ambiance and great food.
Can't wait to come here again!
