4 reviews for The Old Feed Mill
Very easy to drive past, but for dessert, not worth bypassing!
Beautiful old building, love they reused such an amazing structure.
The bread they talk so highly about, that they ground the flour for, is decent. It's a really heavy bread.
We order lamb, that was the special. Lamb was ok, but everything else with it was unflavored and ruined the dish. Veggies tasted like they weren't fresh and were a weird combo. Smashed potatoes were dry and needed mucho butter.
I've read the desserts have been rated highly via Gourmet Magazine. So we split an Apple Dumpling served with a smooth thick cinnamon ice cream. IT WAS DELISH, totally saved the meal. It was a whole peeled, cored, poached apple wrapped in a thick dough, bathing in a buttery caramel sauce. I can say this was probably one of the best apple desserts I've had.
Skip dinner.......... have dessert!!!!!!!
Eat: Artichoke fritters -- perfectly fried chunks of battered artichoke hearts, paired with a ranch-like dipping sauce. How can one go wrong? And although I didn't taste them myself, I heard "oohs" and "ahhs" coming from those who ordered the bacon-wrapped filet and the New Zealand rack of lamb.
Avoid: Cider roast chicken; very dry and disappointing. Roasted salmon -- also really nothing to write home about.
I'd give The Old Feed Mill 3.5 stars if I could. Cute country atmosphere. Absolutely incredible homemade bread. But some of the entrees were sub-par.
Been there a half dozen times with my parents who like the rustic charm and the gift shop.
I'm trying to remember the sequence of disappointing food items. Some sort of faux shepherd's pie with glob of pastry over some sort of stew; certainly not related to any authentic shepherds pie I've experienced. I seem to remember some rather mediocre fish fry that I'll avoid in the future. Some variety of soup got a B+.
I've tried to forget the place and I would not return of my own volition. I'm trying to steer my parents to places that concentrate more on the quality of the food than the ribbons festooning an old stone barn.
Prices were appropriate for a restaurant with a much higher standard of food preparation and more culinary imagination. The Proprietress didn't engender any warm and fuzzy feelings. I got the idea she had xray vision and was checking out how much money I might have in my purse that she could liberate from me. A bit of that scowling face with a forced smile precariously and disingenuously applied over it. Just not a very good deal for the money and a bit too frosty in the glare department from the owner.
This place is so adorable... not technically "my style" but it's very cute, country, cozy. The owners are so nice and love to discuss the place which is great.
They have a shop up front, upstairs they have banquet rooms... all decorated in that crafty country vibe with lots of handmade quilts and dried flowers.
The building is beautiful. They will even ground up flour for you - wheat or rye $1 a pound. I got both and made my first batch of rye with it. Yum.
Dinner was pretty good. I had a wonderful handmade wheat pasta which was excellent. I love to make pasta and this was a good one. I couldn't decide on sauce so I asked for 1/2 marinara 1/2 cream - definately would go with all marinara next time. The cream was ok, I didn't finish that side but the marina was full of oven roasted tomatoes. Yum. Veggies were fresh and tasty as well.
Everyone else in our group loved their dishes (sorry I'm bad at remembering the meat dishes they got). My husband would only rate it 4 stars though for whatever meat he got. He thinks we can get better back home but overall loved the experience.
Desserts all look great and are handmade. We went with the cheesecake brownie which could not be eaten by 4 people but it was outstanding.
Worth the drive out into the country. Prices were pretty reasonable, we left with a $80 bill for 4 including drinks and 1 dessert.
