Waterwheel Cafe, Bakery - West Milford

We really wanted to enjoy this place. Cocktails and appetizers were good. I ordered steak au poive medium, it arrived very rare. I couldn't catch the waiter but finally got someone else to take it back. It arrived even more raw and now I couldn't catch the waiter or the other guy. After literally waving my arms for help the waiter dropped a menu in front of me.... I said I prefer what I ordered cooked medium ... it arrived well done with bland sauce. ZERO empathy from staff for my horrible experience.

This restaurant is not just a place to eat brunch, but also a unique museum experience. With a working waterwheel, the ambiance is truly stunning. The restaurant is quite large and our party of 7 was seated quickly. The food was tasty, with highlights including a green matcha tea and potato pancakes with lox. The service was excellent, with the staff going above and beyond to make our celebration special. Overall, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit for a delicious meal and a glimpse of local history.

I went here for takeout bakery items only. Wow was I pleasantly surprised. Upon walking in, I was not sure if I was the correct place. After taking a peek a little Further in, I saw all the bakery items. They had a large selection that should accommodate many different tastes. Everything looked great. Cannolis are filled to order. I brought the pastry to a party and all the guests loved them I will be coming back to try the food.

This place is definitely worth a stop! Everyone working there was pleasant, they had good coffee and pie, and you get to do a little tour of the old mill which within the building. Felt like a unique place enjoyed by visitors and locals alike.

The food and service at this restaurant are outstanding, but the bathrooms definitely need improvement. I wouldn't want to see the men's stall under a black light after hearing my husband's description, and the women's room stalls don't have locks.
