The Bridgewater Mill

There are upmarket restaurants and there are upmarket class restaurants. Bridgewater Mill nearly makes it into the upmarket class bracket, with excellent food, excellent service, lovely ambience in the Fernery with an open fire, and upmarket pricing, but oh dear, what a shame that they find it necessary to charge their upmarket clients for bread and butter and for olives, $4 and $7 respectively!!! How much does two slices of delicious home-baked bread cost, even if it does come with "cultured Normandy butter"? And a bowl of tasty Kalamata olives?In any really classy restaurant, patrons are assumed to be equally classy and are not treated like bogans. Even if they wait until the certainty of...

Eighteen family members and friends (including seven children under ten years old) joined me for a birthday celebration lunch at the Mill. I pre-ordered a set menu for everyone and the children all had bentos with chicken. The food for both the children and the adults was perfect and everyone was delighted (no complaints from the children!!!) We had the Fernery to ourselves, which made us feel very special and gave us a bit of space for the children to play after they ate while the adults were finishing their meals. The service was just right- there when necessary and not there otherwise. The sugarless cake I ordered was delicious and everyone raved about it. The rest of the restaurant was p...

Our Monday lunch for four was extremely enjoyable. The fernery surrounds and popping redgum open fire made dining relaxing, and our wait-person was warm, knowledgeable and accomplished, managing the dining room effortlessly by herself. Food was interesting and creative. Crusty more-ish bread and flavoursome kalamata olives to start. Our lamb, venison, duck and snapper were all well-cooked and tasty, although bloodlines left in the fish were disappointing. Side dishes were particularly enjoyable: broccolini with nori, leek and eggyolk and duckfat fried potatoes. Those alone are worth a revisit. Our shared dessert platter was fun, with sweet bursts of flavours including citrus, meringue, choco...

At very short notice we got a booking for 4 nights at the Bridgewater mill cottage attached to the mill. Melissa who took our booking was very helpful and was there to meet us when we arrived after dark.form Mildura. She had stocked the kitchen with breckie supplies and restocked it again the next day. The cottage was beautifully restored , warm, lovely soft bed and everything you needed for a relaxing time.We ate at the Mill restaurant , beautiful food, main coarse and deserts and very good selection of wine. The service was faultless so my wife and I will certainly come back again. Overall a wonderful place to have a relaxing few days aways from the rat race. Reserva una mesa ahora

How ofter do you see the 'kitchen closed' sign when you're a tad delayed for lunch?The Bridgewater Mill serves lunch right through until after 4 PM and the staff welcome us latecomers. The setting is superb especially after a strenuous hike in the beautiful Adelaide hills. The menu has plenty to offer and our staff were friendly and enthusiastic.I enjoyed the squid with greens, and the others shared a vegetarian platter plus a few add ons. Nice white wine, server too cold, but we can fix that.

We return to the mill after a five years away, new owners, new chefs.....big improvements. Fantastic stylish space with open fire, heated floors, exceptional artwork and decor. Someone clearly has a great eye for detail here. The menu is very fine and delicious. Food is fantastic and brilliantly cooked with many choices and lighter options. The staff are very professional and friendly. Great lunch......

With a group of friends we went to Bridgewater Mill Restaurant. We had booked this many months ago and really looking forward to the evening. Unfortunately the room we were hoping for was closed due to no heating. Food was very average and the wine list limited. For a restaurant in the middle of wine country a better selection should be available. Very sorry, will not go back

Was greeted with warmth here as I kindly requested a vegetarian meal on the late side of normal lunch trading hours. The soup & broccolini had lots of yummy flavours but the side of potatoes was uninspiring. Got excited when it was time for dessert only to find out that chef closed the kitchen earlier than usual, oh well have to come back again one day Reserva una mesa ahora

The "very good" rating is for the excellent ambience. Very relaxing atmosphere in the hills. We were seated on the deck this time. Would have liked to try the outdoor seating within the restaurant itself next time. Food portions, however, were definitely small, and - in our opinion - pushed down the value-rating from 'good 'to 'average'.
