Plantsville's well-known Old Mill is now New Mill Restaurant, featuring the culinary talents of its new Executive Chef, Bob Martucci. This lovely 1737 cider mill has been a Connecticut favorite for many years, and has now completely renovated by its owners, Chris and Michelle Calvanese.

An expanded wine list and a large sociable bar round out the new offering.

    Disappointed! When I was asked if my reservation was for a special occasion I said yes and filled out we were celebrating our 50 year anniversary. We didn’t want or expect anything other than a quiet table for 2 or simple acknowledgement. The New Mill is a upscale restaurant but really missed the mark.

    I've went to the New Mill for years and I've always loved their food and service. But today the manager, Dave, called me after eating there. I thought maybe we left our credit card as we paid with 2 gift guards and put the rest of the bill on the credit card. Then we left a $70 cash tip. Instead, Dave called afterward to ask why we only left a $20 tip on a $328 bill. I let him know we left a $70 tip consisting of a 50 and 20 dollar bill. I was so upset that the server did not get the whole tip. So, I called back later to see if they found the other $50. When I called back, he said they had not found the money. I reiterated that I left $70 in cash. His response was "I won't say you are lying to me" which of course means he thought I was lying. Why would I do that when we had great service at my formerly favorite restaurant in Connecticut? I won't go to there ever again. And, I warn others to be careful not to leave cash tips at the New Mill Restaurant as you will get a nasty call from their manager Dave. Perhaps Dave should start looking to see where the cash tips are disappearing to rather than blaming patrons for shorting their server.

    We celebrated our wedding anniversary last night at the New Mill restaurant. This was our first time dinning at this restaurant. We both enjoyed our meal selections. Our waitress was very attentive and pleasant. The atmosphere was good and made for an enjoyable night out. We are planning to go back again in the future.

    Beautiful restaurant, well lit and clean. Servers were friendly, prompt and attentive. My wife had the filet and lobster special. I had the Dijon Chicken. Both meals were cooked to perfection. My only suggestion would be to expand the menu for a couple additional seafood items.
