What a pleasurable night. Came for dinner. Handicapp parking is the second entrance. Wasnt super clear where to park because of all the snow but we managed. Came into a bar area from the handicap ramp, was very warm inside, the entire place is rustic and pleasing to the eye. We were escorted to our table and we looked at the menu. We both ordered the short rib and a salad. First you need to start with their bread, with garlic butter. Absolutely yummy. Our waiters were on point, even with my allergies. People filling up water glasses which was from bottles and not the sink water, giving silverwear, taking things right away when done. Everything was wonderful, food yummy, great company, great service. This is a redo place. The only thing we had a tough time was leaving. The hill and the snow

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and it was amazing. From the personalized card, to the attentive yet not overbearing waitstaff to the delicious food and drinks - the Brushmill was an amazing choice! We will definitely be returning!

Had an amazing experience celebrating my wife's birthday at Brushmill! They were behind thoughtful even surprising my wife with a b-day card signed by the staff. Completely blown away by their welcoming environment, beautiful surroundings, and great food!

First visit here since it’s total renovation in 2022 for a birthday dinner and we were pleasantly surprised. The service (by Jared) was outstanding and we had a pleasant chat with Jason, the owner. The renovation was well done and offers a number of options in many rooms from casual to cozy to fancy. I had the chicken pot pie which was the best ever and my wife had the scallops small plate which consisted of 5 large sea scallops perfectly cooked. We split a delicious mixed green salad and finished off the meal with a delicious poached pear that was generously presented free of charge due to my birthday. All in all, a fabulous meal and we will definitely be back.

First time coming to this restaurant. My husband and I had a great time. It's super convenient, right off the highway with ample parking available. The atmosphere is great, even on a dreary, rainy day. You're welcome by a calming waterfall and a cute bridge leading to the restaurant. We loved the historical aspects of the building and homage that was paid. The food and drinks were delicious. The house made complimentary focaccia was a perfect start to a meal. We got the pork belly appetizer, which I definitely recommend. My husband got the steak frite - steak was cooked perfectly. I got the Caribbean veggie burger, which was a satisfying and savory dish. I love how they had a good vegetarian option. Also side note, the restaurant smelled so good - very woody.
