The Gin Mill- Decatur Reviews
From the appetizer to main course the food was fantastic and the waitress was superb. The spinach artichoke was some of the best we’ve ever had, we both ordered the Delmonico steaks were cooked to perfection, don’t let the prices scare you worth every penny. This restaurant rivals any from our home state of Arkansas
We had reservations for 6 at 5:30P tonight. Upon the hostess taking us to our seat she informed me we needed to be done by 7P as they had another reservation coming then. I said are you telling me we need to eat and run? She said basically yes as we only allow 15 extra minutes after 7 and then we will ask you to leave. Seriously! How extremely rude to your customers! We should have turned around and went somewhere else that appreciated our business! It will be a long time if ever...read full review

The Gin Mill is a charming downtown restaurant with an upscale atmosphere and slightly higher prices, yet it offers excellent value. Known for its vibrant environment, this bar and grill stands out among the city's limited culinary options, featuring delightful dishes like the pork chop dinner and the acclaimed gouda bacon burger. Guests enjoy a wide variety of craft beers and cocktails, as well as tasty pub-style food, especially the wings and burgers. The decor, with high ceilings and a beautiful bar, enhances the dining experience.
The attentive service is highlighted in recent reviews, with many customers noting the friendly and welcoming staff. While the caesar salad dressing was a slight disappointment, the salad itself is often praised as a highlight of the meal. Some reviews mention that the service can vary, sometimes due to staffing challenges, but overall, the hospitality remains a strong point.
