Came to have a salad for dinner tonight. I think The Mill has some of the best salads in the area. Tonight, I ordered the Cobb without ham but asked for turkey, and it was DELICIOUS! They give you a pretty large portion, so I'm going to enjoy the rest of it for lunch today.

Before embarking on a business trip to Palmdale this past week I reached out to a pair of old high school classmates from southern Ohio who settled in southern California at different times over the past couple of decades to see if they would be available to gather and break bread.. Both were available this afternoon and The Mill was chosen as our gathering place.. I made the 2+ hour drive down from Palmdale and we converged on The Mill around 4p.. I was immediately impressed by the atmosphere of The Mill.. An inviting interior space combined with patio seating complete with string lights creates a very welcoming environment.. I started out enjoying their Cadillac Margarita, crafted with Don Julio Añejo Tequila, fresh citrus juices, and a splash of Grand Marnier.. This was a very refreshing margarita and quenched my thirst immediately.. For a main course I selected a 10" pizza topped with double pepperoni and ham.. The pizza was delivered tableside hot and fresh from the oven.. From what I could tell it was crafted with high quality ingredients atop a crispy, hand-tossed crust.. All in all, I thought it was a wonderfully tasty pie!! I had such a great experience, that now I have to figure out how to get back to The Mill to try additional menu offerings.. Their menu includes a wide variety of items such as sandwiches, paninis, salads, pasta dishes, and pizzas.. I'm certain everything on their menu is as great as the pizza I enjoyed today.. Great food combined with a great reunion made for an outstanding experience!!

The server exercised great discernment by waiting to ask for our order until we were ready—especially thoughtful, given there were only 4 or 5 other people in the restaurant and about 36 seats still open. I appreciated that they avoided unnecessary interruptions. My sandwich came out in under 5 minutes, which was impressive. The portion size was generous, and it was also a healthy option. Definitely recommend!

NOT ALLERGEN SAFE ALERT Went in for the first time earlier today. Got there before the dinner rush and hostess and waitress greeted us with smiles and service was overall very nice. The food came pretty quickly. My only issue to knock it down a star is that this restaurant is not allergy conscious. I ordered the 5 cheese Alfredo which was tasty but when it came i initially thought it was cross contaminated because there was a few pieces of raw diced onion. I took a couple of bites that I had to then spit out and realized it was intentional. I have never before had an Alfredo that had any pieces of diced onion much less raw. Unfortunately onions do make me quite sick if I eat them so I had to abandon my plate. The alfredo was not listed on the menu as having onion at all though several other pasta dishes did specify having onions. This would indicate to me that this restaurant is not safe if you have food allergies and are relying on the menu to provide accurate information on the dishes

Enjoy the service and enjoy the variety of dishes. The service was very good and they got us drinks really quick because it was very hot outside. They also got our food to us pretty quick as well. Recommend this place just based on the variety of food and so many different options next time looking forward to trying the pizzas

Tried this place for the first time finally. The restaurant is in a nice location, nice view when eating outside, and nice inside. Our waitress didn't seem patient when we were placing our order, but everyone else that gave our plates, etc. were friendly and helpful. The food was good. The reason for the 4 star is that all the extra plates given to us (because we were sharing) were all dirty. They had leftover stuck on food on them and had dirt or black stuff on the other plates. The 6 piece pizza was large enough to share. I feel they could have added more toppings. Their salad was delicious and was a large serving as well. We loved their bruschetta appetizer plate. Their outdoor seating is really nice with a table that has a fire pit. We went during lunch so I can imagine it would look really nice during dinner time.

We went in for some bloody Mary’s! Yum! Better yet, sat at the bar and got to watch the chefs and staff working together! If I was the owner, I would be one proud person! Best staff…multiple check ins on us, watched the kitchen and waiters work well together as well as fresh food being prepared for the day! Great job The Mill! Kuddos to your staff that work well together! Very hard to find! Looking forward to having some meals with the family and a couple’s date at the bar with more blood Mary’s or mimosas! I’m absolutely mind blown that this place wasn’t packed for a weekend breakfast!
