A Thornbury lunch: The Mill Café

Hubby took us to lunch at The Mill Café over in Thornbury. The ambiance was nice with rural chic décor. It was too chilly to be in the patio but the views of the river would have been amazing!

Anyway, I got a Caesar while waiting for our meal. It was nice with horseradish.

We each ordered something different. And as was tradition, we all tasted each other’s dish.

Hubby got the Mill Café steak and feta salad. The steak was nicely done and still pink in the middle. So I wasn’t sure why it would be on the tough side. It came on a bed of mixed greens tossed in balsamic vinaigrette. It was just ok, but I felt it was pricey considering it was just mostly a salad.

DD#1 got a Gyro Pita of lamb and pork blend. It had mixed greens and chili aioli. Now, as we are used to the gyros from Paramount, this was a bit underwhelming.

DD#2 got the Mill Burger with bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion. Again, it was also just ok.

I got a White Perch Tacos in a flour tortilla with chili aioli, sundried tomato paste, and baby arugula. It was tasty but the portions were a bit small for me.

My issue with my dish was the fries—the chef included many tidbits of overcooked fries, which should not really be served anymore.

The winning dish according to the fam was Grandma’s Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese. The pulled pork and white cheddar on rosemary focaccia was quite delicious!

Service was friendly but it does take a while for the orders to come. Overall, the dishes were good but the portions were small. It is a nice place, though, for Thornbury.
