Amazing Food & Service. A little on the pricy side for mains so I would definitely get the $55 feed me special next time. Chili Crab Spaghetti was divine and I don't typically order seafood.

Amazing little place that was cute for a date night. Quiet enough to chat but had a nice vibe about it - food was great, crab pasta was amazing and staff were always attentive.

My wife and I had dinner at Ms Ava for our anniversary and we loved it! We had the crispy fired prawn dumplings for starters and the porterhouse for mains. Both were excellent! I had also flagged that my wife was GF/DF, and the staff went above and beyond to care for her needs. We also appreciated the fact that we were given complimentary glasses of wine in lieu of dessert, as they were unable to provide anything to cater for my wife's dietary needs.

We had such a wonderful night for our part of 6, from classic cocktails, quality food and the best sticky date pudding - we felt very looked after by our waitress. It was quite noisy at the start of the night but by mains and dessert it was a lot more peaceful. Highly recommend!

We went to The Mill on Hardware Lane with a group of friends for dinner last night and it was a wonderful experience! The food was amazing and the service was absolutely outstanding. David was incredibly friendly, highly attentive, and looked after our group perfectly. He went above and beyond by taking photos for us and even organized complimentary cake to celebrate birthday of two members of our group. Delicious food, Incredible hospitality, great atmosphere, and wonderful service. Thank you, David and Team! We will definitely be back. Nisha

What a delicious find! Found it 2 weeks ago and loced it so much booked a table the following sunday. Ordered share plate for 1 between my husband and I and my daughters also shared 1 plate between them. Generous servings and a plate cooked to perfection! We could not have eaten a plate each thats for sure. Will definitely be a go to everything our church meets across the road at micdrop.
