Top notch food and great service. The prime rib was amazing. Extremely fresh veges and of course the yorkshire was superb! Never disappointed with a visit to this staple of fine Edmonton dining. The dining room fills quickly on weekends but there is always room on the bar side, where you can enjoy sports on several large screens

Absolutely loved this place. The service was excellent and the food was prepared to perfection, the atmosphere in the restaurant was quiet and intimate. Our waiter, Estathios was attentive and knowledgeable, not only with the wine list but also understood that some people prefer a little fat on their Rib eye for the extra flavour and enquired if I'd prefer it left on. I asked for rare and that's exactly what I got, but the highlight of my evening was that it was the first restaurant I've dined in since I began visiting Canada several years ago (I'm an Australian) that didn't commit the cardinal sin of rinsing seafood in fresh water. Which shamefully seems to be the norm here. I mean... Don't even get me started. If you're looking for an intimate evening with great food and great service, then the Sawmill restaurant is for you.

I could have gone anywhere for that buffet, what happened to omelettes being made fresh or the assortment of fruits and vegy's like the old restaurant used to have. food & service was good, but in my opinion it was overpriced for what you got. We will definitely not go back. Isabel

Steve are waiter was great! The food and drinks were good. My husband enjoyed the dessert. I had the Alaskan King crap, it was good but maybe not worth the market price. Would go back.

Rice was dry, along with chicken (chicken Oscar) . Ribs kinda dry but sauce saved it Ribeye steak a bit undercooked, asked for medium rare (Undecided) Service was friendly and polite yet she seemed tired Overall nice environment but the appetizers were better than the entrees but perhaps them entrees were rushed Couldve found better value at other steakhouse but i like the atmosphere at Sawmill
Underwhelming. We went to Sawmill - South last night for Valentine's. We paid over $200 and felt like we were eating at a cheap diner. I went with the filet “AAA” steak. Claimed on the menu that it didn't have any fat etc. I could have bought a better steak from Walmart for $15. This had a thick ring of fat on it, over cooked and about 1/2” thick. The rest of the food was just okay. Not worth what they were charging. The service was just okay.

We have been to this restraunt several times and return often because it is a great restraunt. The valentines special was really nice, lots of food options available. The service was excellent, the wine choice suggested by our waiter was spot on. Ambiance was great and the sound level was low. The only draw back was the food. We selected the prime rib option and it was not as expected. We found the meat overly tough,but it was cooked medium rare as ordered. Vegetables were cooked perfect and the mashed potatoes on point. Will give these restraunt another chance
We had dinner here for Valentine's Day, it was a 3 course meal with options to choose from. I enjoyed the options, I went with the filet mignon. It was cooked as I asked and the overall experience was great!

Our server was Steve, he's amazing at his job. Food is normally outstanding, we both ordered the 12 oz prime rib. Ended up being probably 8 oz or less with all the fat and gristle we had to cut off or spit out. I know this wasn't the restaurant's fault but we were both disappointed in our meal.
The experience, food and service was wonderful! The only draw back was where we were seated. It was a table for two and It was almost like there was some extra space that they squeezed the table into it. I had my seat bumped multiple times by people passing by. Other than that it was a wonderful day experience and we will be going back!

The entire staff from the hostess to the servers were very professional, courteous, polite & they made it feel very much like a family atmosphere dining. Lots of good energy in this place for sure. Our Server Steve was extremely helpful with the wine list & made sure we were looked after.

Our waiter was very personable and tried to provide good service. Unfortunately, he seemed new and did not have all the necessary information so needed to constantly verify. We were told that the buffet ended at 12:30 (although it actually ended at 2:30) and he stated that it is not replenished after 12 (noon) YIKES! We then had to request the replacement of some of the items that were empty or very low. The restaurant did not seem busy, so was very surprised at the state of the buffet. Some staff members were standing around, and trying to pass off the replenishing to someone else. It is very quiet and clean with a lot of space which is very nice. However, I did not feel that the quality of food and service was worth the cost of the buffet.

We had the best night at the dueling pianos show. Entertainment was fun, our food was excellent, but the best part of our night was our waiter Steve! He was professional, very engaging, super attentive and accommodating to all of our requests. He even moved us closer to the performers when we asked, and he continued to serve us so well across the entire restaurant. The Mill is lucky to have him. Thanks Steve for the fantastic service! We will be back. ?Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free choices. Well done. Enjoyed the ribs!

Our meal was excellent in all aspects except the prices, which seemed a little high. However, they were comparable to prices at any other fine dining establishment these days so I don't blame the restaurant for protecting their bottom line. I just wish there was a way to stop this crazy train of increasing prices that starts with the food processors and wholesalers and is compounded until it finally reaches the consumer.
