This restaurant is perfect for hosting weddings, company events, and family gatherings. The environment is stunning, situated by a stream, with the dining room featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook a small waterfall. I believe the most beautiful time to visit is during autumn when the landscape transforms into breathtaking shades of yellow and red. The ground is covered in maple leaves, and the sunlight creates a warm atmosphere throughout the restaurant. The brunch buffet is available only on Sundays, so be sure to make a reservation in advance! Brunch is served from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM and includes a fruit salad station, a cheese, ham, and vegetable station, a seafood station, and a dessert and bread station. There’s also a main course station located in a smaller hall to the left as you enter. Drinks can be self-served or ordered from the server. I enjoy smoked salmon, oysters, eggs Benedict, shrimp, and fruits. This place is truly enchanting in autumn and worth a visit. Lastly, don't forget to take a walk along the path beside the waterfall to aid digestion; it’s incredibly beautiful!

Very dreamy and elegant dining experience. Had a wonderful dinner with my wife as we celebrate her birthday in this restaurant. Ordered the Cod and my wife had the steak and it was awesome! Special thanks to Becky(Rebecca) for our waitress as she made our night special.

Ugh I am going to try and keep my tears in while I write this..... My beautiful best friend from college became a wife at this venue and I could not have been more impressed to say the least. I loved every second of their wedding and Ancaster Mill is absolutely phenomenal. I may be a bit biased because I am a sucker for waterfalls but like I have said to a bunch of my peers "If I ever am invited to a wedding again and it is not like the one my friend just had, I am not going!" Everything was so strategically planned and went ever so smoothly I was extremely impressed and just speechless by how beautiful this wedding venue truly is!! You do a fantastic job Ancaster Mill and you should be very proud of what you have brought into this world, what a beautiful place to union newly weds and I am sure much much more!!! Magnificent every single thing down to a tee. Thank you so much Ancaster Mill for bringing my friends that got married together as one. Your empire has truly out done itself!

Wifey and I are celebrating anniversary so we went for dinner last night at Cambridge Mill and today brunch at Ancaster Mill. We arrived early so we had to wait, but it's so relaxing there outside near the falls. When we were seated we headed up to the food. They have scones, which were so delicious, muffins, breads, Cheeses, cold meats, salad, oyster bar with crab legs, shrimp etc. Everything looked really good and tasted that way, but I will be honest. I was thinking there are no eggs, my bacon etc. We went up a again and saw people with large plates so we asked, there in the other room. Well well, another big room had veggies, egg Benedict, bacon, sausage, potatoes, beef, meats, and to my Filipino friends and family Lechon, yes it was there. I was going to kiss the pigs nose but people might not like it. It was Masarap, delicious. I guess our server forgot to mention about the secret room. Overall very good brunch, very busy, make reservations for sure. We will visit again. Thank you Ancaster Mill. Bubba. Love you guys. Take care because I do.

From the warm welcome to the delicious food, everything was perfect. You can really feel the heart in this place, thanks to the amazing people working there. I’m 100% happy with our experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for a special spot to celebrate or simply enjoy a memorable meal. We’ll definitely be back!

We had our wedding at Ancaster Mill in September, and it was truly the wedding of our dreams! The venue itself is absolutely stunning—every corner is gorgeous, and it has such a magical feel to it. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting. From the start, our consultant Nycole was amazing. She made everything so easy and stress-free, guiding us through the entire process with kindness and professionalism. The staff was incredible too, always friendly and attentive, which made the day go smoothly. The food was out of this world! Every guest was raving about how delicious everything was. Christina was there throughout the day to ensure everything ran seamlessly, which gave us peace of mind. I can’t express enough how special Ancaster Mill made our wedding day. It was everything we hoped for and more. If you’re looking for a venue that combines beauty, great service, and an unforgettable atmosphere, Ancaster Mill is the place to be. Thank you for making our wedding day so perfect!
