    We had such a nice night out at Sawmill! There was a live musician which made for perfect ambience. I was with 5 girlfriends for a bday dinner, the food, cocktails and service were fantastic. Thank you!

    Dining at The Sawmill Bar & Table was excellent! A beautiful place with wonderful people who work there. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. The wine list was very good! The beer list had something for everyone. The food was great and delivered on hot plates that kept the food warm. The “bread “was house-made, delicious cornbread muffins, served with honey butter, red pepper jam, and seasoned olive oil! The ambience was great. Sofas and chairs were nicely arranged around fireplaces for relaxing before or after dinner. And there is a speakeasy - Red Door Speakeasy-in the lower level that will open in the winter!
