7. Green Mill Restaurant

Terrible!
I love Green Mill, frequently visiting there Eagan location, but the Saint Cloud Green Mill is one of worst run restaurants I've ever been to. The food was terrible, the service worse and I would not, under any circumstance, go back.

Very Disappointing...
I typically love Green Mill, but their restaurant in Saint Cloud was very sub-par. A friend and I went for lunch and were each surprised in the low quality of both food and service. We were dressed in sweatshirts and gym shorts, so I wasn't too offended when they sat us in the very back of the restaurant in a nearly empty section away from most of the other diners. Unfortunately I think this factor influenced our server to forget us (and our empty beverages) for 20-30 minute intervals. By the end of our meal we had been there for nearly an hour and a half and had seen our server three times (a cook brought our food out). Usually I can tolerate bad service if the food is acceptable, unfortunately they didn't redeem themselves. I love the wings at Green Mill restaurants but at this location they must use a different sauce vendor, recipe, or some on site concoction because they tasted nothing like the Diablo and Jim Beam wings that I am used to. I must admit that the pasta we ordered was of comparable quality to the Duluth, MN and Eagan, MN Green Mill locations I normally frequent. The only positive note to this dining experience was having our sodas removed from the bill due to the inattentive service we received, which was especially poor considering the restaurant was below half capacity and we observed groups of three or more servers casually chatting with one another for extended periods of time. Needless to say, I haven't been back since and have no intention of returning.
