    Stunning location and ambiance. We visited for Easter brunch. Our family chooses a new place each year and this year we decided on the Millcroft Inn. The food was very good but I was disappointed in the limited choices. For $75 and up for a big brunch there are usually lots of tables offering a huge selection of food. The selection was decidedly limited compared to other places we have been for the same price.

    Good day Lynn, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are so happy to hear that you love the location and views. I am sorry to hear that you felt that the selection was limited. I will be forwarding these notes to our Executive Chef so he is aware. We hope to see you and your family again soon.

    Our dinner was incredible. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable and kind. We were seated at a table overlooking the falls, which was made it an extra special evening. My partner and I had a challenging year and it was our first time out and away from our twin babies. The whole experience was memorable - including the chef coming out to present a complimentary house made pasta dish, a total surprise! The meal was delicious and we very much appreciated the effort that went in to making our night wonderful.

    Thank you Chris for sharing your evening with us. It is our pleasure to serve you. The POD is always a great spot, it is our closest table to view the falls. We hope to soon you again soon.

    We went for lunch. The pickerel was delicious. You must order the cheesecake for dessert. Absolutely decadent. Service was great. We were seated by the waterfall which was so nice.

    We went here to celebrate my 40th birthday. The food here was excellent. My husband and I each had a three course meal. The whole experience took about an hour and a half so be prepared for spending some time at the restaurant. This was not my first time visiting and it definitely won't be my last!
