We had someone with allergies at our table and the server went to some trouble to find something that he could safely eat. Since no one could get the seafood or fish options, the server also offered to replace the shrimp in the pad thai with double chicken. The beet and pear salad, and the out of bounds chicken salad were delicious.

If you're looking for a unique and memorable experience that combines a hauntingly good atmosphere with absolutely delicious food, the Haunted High Tea at the Old Mill Toronto is a must! From the moment we walked into the historic venue, the setting was perfect – beautifully decorated with gothic accents, flickering candles, and just the right amount of eerie vibes to get you in the Halloween spirit. You could feel the history of the building, which only added to the whole ghostly charm! The tea selection was fantastic, with a variety of flavors that catered to every taste, from classic Earl Grey to a Peaches and Cream blend. The food was where the experience truly shined – each tier of goodies was as delightful as it was spooky. The sandwiches and desserts were crafted with care, and the flavours were rich, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Special shout-out to the scones, which were a wild ride for my tastebuds! Cheese and pumpkin?! Ube and white chocolate?! How do they come up with this? Every single bite was delicious and they even catered to my gluten free diet! The staff really got into the theme, too, adding a fun and playful element to the experience. They shared stories of the Old Mill's "haunted history," which was a great touch and made everything feel authentic. Overall, it was such a cool event that perfectly captured the spooky season while delivering an elevated, gourmet high tea experience. I’d highly recommend the Haunted High Tea to anyone looking for a unique, memorable way to celebrate Halloween or simply enjoy a fantastic tea service in a unique, historic setting. 👻🍂🫖

The food was excellent as always. I had the fish and chips, two pieces, the fish was so big. I couldn’t even eat the fries. My father had wings and they were delicious and he asked me to find out where they buy them from because they were huge. My mother had the crab croissant, and she was impressed that it seemed to be real crab meat as opposed to flavoured Pollock. It was my 40th birthday lunch and they treated me with a glass of Prosecco! We’re Here at least once a month and we love it.
