What User likes about Green Mill Restaurant And Bar:
Wonderful place to come to. Thursday night there is a live orchestra that plays jazz music and some people get up to swing dance. It’s so cool and fun to watch.

What User doesn't like about Green Mill Restaurant And Bar:
I visited the restaurant on a Sunday night and couldn't find any available seats. So, I took a bar stool and leaned it against the wall. Suddenly, a staff member came over and started yelling at me, saying I couldn't do that. I felt both humble and embarrassed by the situation. If it was against the rules, someone could have kindly and politely let me know, rather than resorting to shouting. View all feedback.

Green Mill was amazing, as always. I absolutely love the Battle of the Saxes! Be sure to arrive early to secure a seat, as they don’t accept reservations.

Our server was a little bit too grabby on the drinks. My son and I had old-fashions which really did not taste. Good at all. Poorly made, or poor whiskey. Our s...
