Old Mill ~ A Boston tradition. For some reason, it is a secret in New York, but patrons come all the way to Boston, stay at the Silvanus, eat at the Old Mill, and then go home??? Boston?

7 minutes from the motel, pricey, they do not take reservations for parties less than five (great for last minute plans), 413.528.1421

Guest comments include: “We come in from Boston just to eat here; we stay with you so we can afford it”; “Roast Rack of Lamb, mint pesto, ratatouille & polenta cake; eternal bliss”

Open daily 5 – 9:30 p.m., closed Mondays.
