Replete with an a la carte menu, a bar menu, a set menu and an extensive wine and cocktail list, the plethora of experiences to be had at this restaurant and bar are hardly run of the mill.
Situated on historic Hardware Lane, this 19th-century warehouse has been converted into a sophisticated den of fine dining and very fine drinking. The two-level space is dressed in decadent shades of chocolate brown and gold, with the venue's Florence Broadhurst-style floral emblem echoed throughout the building. Street seating and large arched windows provide top-class people-perving to complete the vibrant atmosphere.
Head chef Carl Dahren serves up a menu of modern Australian dishes, with hints of Asian influences: a classic dish such a chicken, mushroom and prosciutto terrine might sit on the menu alongside the miso-glazed corn-fed chicken breast with saute of green beans, baby carrots and prawn ginger mayo. After dark, The Mill becomes a dim and sultry haven for intimate dining and drinking, abound with live jazz music on Sundays and tapas and cocktails to be found in the lush basement bar, Charlie's Bar, till late.

Very slow, not worth the wait
Work lunch for 6 people, we prefer to take only an hour, but it took almost that just for our meals to arrive. All of us were having a main only, just bowls of pasta, so it shouldn't take that long. It wasn't even busy. I had the seafood lingiuni. Not a generous serve of seafood. Too much oil & chilli. I won't be back. Reinforces my disappointing experience of eating in Hardware St. Such a pity none of the cafes live up to the pretty location.

one of the best venues in Melbourne
Having taken quite a few corporate clients to the Mill in the past, I decided to take my girlfriends along to my favourite restaurant for dinner. We had a great evening, everything was fantastic - service, atmosphere, food...love, love love the chocolate brownie! Afterwards we all went down to Charlie's Bar and enjoyed a few of their $9 cocktails. This place is one of Melbourne's best kept secrets, highly recommended.
