Recently went to a Michelin star restaurant in Oakville, called Hexagon. We spent a fortune and came home disappointed 😔, having to eat another meal once we got home, due to the portion sizes. The Old Mill was the complete opposite experience. Fantastic in all ways!! Great food, great value, great service, and a winter wonderland atmosphere!! We spent a third of the money, and were SO MUCH happier.
