Ancaster Old Mill

I have not posted here for a while because I have not been travelling as much as before. However, during the last few weeks, we have visited a couple of local places, and took a one week trip to Boston.

The picture is of me outside the Ancaster Old Mill. This restaurant is in Ancaster, a small town west of Hamilton, Ontario. The setting for the Old Mill is beautiful. The interior is country style with low lighting. They probably consider this romantic, but in my opinion, it was too dark.

Unfortunately, our visit did not get off to a good start. It took far too long for our waiter to take our order. In fact, a couple that arrived at the same time as us, whom I could see from our table, had almost finished their appetizer before our order was taken. Also the waiter, at first, seemed rather rushed and distracted.

Once our order was taken, our experience improved greatly. We ordered their Sunday special. This is a complete meal that is served "family style." That means that all the items come in large bowls or plates and everyone helps themselves. We had a seafood salad and a mixed greens salad. Both were excellent. The main course was chicken and prime rib. Both were well prepared.

Overall, we enjoyed our visit. However, considering the entire experience and the price of eating here, I am not sure we will return.
