Old Mill Inn

This place has old-world charm to spare, and a lavish spread of hot and cold dishes to please most any palate (meat, fish and vegetable dishes, fruits, cheeses and desserts, piled theatrically on linened tables). The stone walls, high beamed ceilings, 19th century art and crest collection, and attentive, uniformed pentagenarian waitstaff make you feel like you've left Toronto entirely and ended up at some European hunting lodge, on the scenic banks of a river other than the Humber.

For myself, I tend to associated Chinese with buffet which leads to massive overeating and gluttonous acts. Recently, I enjoyed a Sunday dinner at the Old Mill which was a pleasant evening of over-indulgence once again but over steamed lobster instead of chicken balls and and roast beef instead of beef with black bean sauce. The service was prompt and the atmosphere was a casual dinner among families.
