We stayed at the resort and opted to eat there as well. The restaurant seated us even though they weren’t technically open yet, which was very much appreciated. The drinks were good but the food was absolutely delicious. I recommend the New York Strip. It’s a very fine dining atmosphere and you’ll feel it when you pay the check. But Joy, our waitress made it a wonderful experience.

Wonderful food in a lovely environment- beautiful fireplace and bar in a cozy setting. The service was top notch and the quality of food was fitting to the price. I really enjoyed my cocktail made complimentary by our server – so sweet! Will definitely return.

I went in for a coffee and ended up staying for the weekend brunch. There were so many options to choose from all visually stunning. I ended up with lox and bagels, french toast bread pudding and fresh fruit. The picture is of a takeaway spinach salad that was amazing.

The food was unreal. I mean, it was just *perfect*. Everything was fresh, bursting with flavor, and cooked to absolute perfection. The menu itself was super creative, and they have options for everyone.
The staff were so friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to enjoy their jobs. They were always around when we needed something, but never intrusive. They even gave us some great recommendations, and they were spot on! Seriously, the service was top-notch.
And the ambiance? Chill, cozy, and just the right amount of lively. It was the perfect spot for a relaxed dinner with friends. The music was great, not too loud, and the whole vibe was just super welcoming. We felt completely comfortable and relaxed the entire time. Honestly, I could have stayed there all night!
This place is a must-try. Seriously, don’t miss out. It’s the perfect combination of delicious food, fantastic service, and a great atmosphere.

We wanted to enjoy a special dinner at The Mill Room after hearing great things, but our experience ended up being pretty disappointing due to the service. We were seated right away, but no one came to greet us or take our order for about 30 minutes. After finally ordering cocktails, it took another 20 minutes to receive them — during which three tables seated after us were served drinks and bread before we were.
We ordered the butternut squash soup (which arrived lukewarm), the ribeye, and the black truffle cavatelli. The entrées were good, but again our table was overlooked when it came to clearing plates and offering dessert. Two tables seated after us received dessert menus and desserts before we were approached. At that point, we just asked for the check.
What was most frustrating was that all of these tables had the same server we did. It never feels good to feel ignored, especially when you’re looking forward to a nice night out. Unfortunately, despite the food being enjoyable, the service experience really detracted from the evening.

We had our rehearsal dinner at the Mill Room! All around a very positive experience. Brigitte was amazing from day one and was there helping us the day of get set up and get everything we needed. The indoor/outdoor space is adorable and was so perfect. We did the pizza, nacho, salad bar and it was amazing the guest loved it! Highly recommend for any small or large event. Birthdays, showers, receptions… we will host here again soon for sure!!

We went to celebrate our anniversary. The ambiance is nice, and the host will great you at the door and will walk you to your table. They have a huge wine list and cocktail. Food portion is very good, plates are nice and full. The service was amazing. Our server Erick was knowledgeable about every single plate thats on the menu. We ordered the fried oyster they were Okey the sauce was good. But nothing impressive about it. We did also order vension carpaccio it was good. The compressed watermelon salad was phenomenal, I ordered a Roseda farms aged New York strip steak was good my wife ordered the short rib pasta, it isn’t the best. The meat is very tender and the pasta cooked well, but I don’t think they go well together. I have tried this dish at another restaurant and still the same. Desert was very good chocolate cake with burned orange jam, house made cream fresh.

My partner and I recently celebrated our anniversary at Mill Room, and I must say it was an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. We were blown away by the great dishes, impeccable service, and the warm and inviting ambiance.
We indulged in the day boat scallops and cornmeal fried Virginia oysters as appetizers. For our entrees, we ordered their famous burger and grits & grillades. It was amazing! We enjoyed every bite of my juicy beef patty and her order of braised short ribs.
What truly made our experience exceptional was the impeccable service provided by our servers, Natalia and Rammy. They were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure our anniversary celebration was truly memorable. From their warm greetings to their knowledgeable recommendations, they made us feel welcome and valued throughout the entire evening.

Had dinner there a couple weeks ago. Great food, fabulous service and pretty impressive wine list. May well be one of the best NY strips I’ve ever had. Highly recommend treating yourself!!!
Recently went back on Mothers Day for brunch. Two words…SKIP IT!
Very different than their dinner service.
Bacon sat on a pool of grease. Guys, please buy a small rack to put under the bacon. Tried the biscuits and gravy. First time I’ve had room temp gravy that was as thin as broth. Ran all over the plate. It was so bad the biscuit was literally soaking in the juice they called gravy. The only thing that stands out about this brunch is the omelette station. The guy making omelettes knew what he was doing.

My wife and I spent the last two nights at the resort. The staff were delightful, our room was perfectly fine, and the services at the spa were outstanding. Unfortunately, the experience at The Mill Room was so bad that it overshadowed everything else.
We ate there twice yesterday because we assumed the main restaurant at a property in this price range would be excellent. The website even advertises “the best brunch in Charlottesville,” so we started with brunch. I can promise you that most of what we were served was barely better than the complimentary breakfasts you get at average hotels. The food simply was not good. I could list specific items, but honestly, it would be pointless. Since it was our first visit and the restaurant is temporarily located in a ballroom due to renovations, we gave them the benefit of the doubt and assumed the quality issues were related to that. We kept our dinner reservation hoping for a better experience.
Dinner was even worse.
The Caesar salad arrived with large amounts of visibly brown lettuce—not just a leaf or two, but enough to be obvious the moment the plate hit the table. The fried oyster appetizer tasted like nothing but old fryer grease. I was encouraged to try the Sunday night prime rib special, while my wife ordered the rockfish with broccolini and cheese grits.
The prime rib was cooked incorrectly, completely flavorless, and somehow the au jus was even worse. Prime rib is my absolute favorite—I order it every chance I get—and I honestly didn’t know it was possible to ruin that cut of meat so thoroughly. My wife’s rockfish tasted noticeably fishy, which should never happen in a quality restaurant. And the cheese grits were simply a bad idea executed poorly—an attempt at Parmesan grits that completely missed the mark.
Hoping to salvage the meal, we ordered dessert. My wife chose the apple galette, and I ordered the basque cheesecake. The galette was no better than something you’d pick up at a convenience store. And what they are calling “basque cheesecake” is nothing of the sort. Toasting the outside of a regular cheesecake does not make it basque cheesecake—the texture is entirely different. This was just mislabeled and disappointing.
All told, we spent over $400 in that restaurant yesterday between brunch, dinner, and gratuities. I’m still stunned. It was so bad that we honestly wondered if we were on some kind of hidden-camera prank show. We chose to pay the bill, leave politely, sleep on it, and provide feedback in the morning.
This morning, I went to the front desk to share our experience. I was told no manager would be available until noon. The front desk staff were extremely kind and professional and initially told me they would not check us out until a manager had the opportunity to review the situation and possibly adjust the bill. Despite that, we were ultimately checked out with no follow-up, no adjustment, and no contact from management.
My wife and I travel frequently and have eaten at restaurants across Virginia, across the country, and around the world. We’ve had wonderful meals and we’ve had mediocre ones. I’m not someone who rushes to leave negative reviews online. But this experience was on a completely different level.
Please think carefully before eating at this restaurant. Regardless of the price point, the food is genuinely terrible. The chef, the manager, and/or the kitchen staff clearly have no idea what level of quality should be served at a property like this.
And to be clear—this is not about money. Just before dinner we spent over $400 for an hour at the spa, and it was fantastic. In fact, we would have happily paid double. We even discussed booking future appointments because the spa experience was that good. I highly recommend it.
What I cannot understand is how a resort that gets so many things right allows its restaurant to ruin an otherwise terrific stay. If you decide to visit this property, do yourself a favor and plan to eat in Charlottesville instead.
