Green Mill Restaurant and Bar

I go to Green Mill out of necessity. Are they a pizza place? Are they a pasta place? Are they Italian? Green Mill casts a wide net for whatever 'American' food you are looking for whether that be burgers, pasta, or salads. They are a step below Ruby Tuesday's, but a step above McDonalds. I could see this restaurant being a good solution for parents with picky eaters for children.

The menu lacks items and the price is high for what you get. But the four cheese bacon cheeseburger was good. The food is good but price and selection was terrible. The service was good and the restaurant was clean.

My wife and I had a $30 Living Social voucher here and we happened to be down in the Bloomington area. The Green Mill is attached to a hotel,but it had about 15 guests in it about noon on a Sunday. The decor is cool, with a lot of TVs lining the walls. The clientele made me feel like I was walking into a real cool VFW.

I ordered a big Summit EPA, delish. Then I ordered off their "Healthy" menu, the light chicken pizza, and my wife got the light shrimp salad.

Our waitress was cool, not talkative, but just right. Checked on us every ten minutes or so. I ordered another beer for my pizza. Lovely.

My pizza came out with plenty of black beans and lovely Mexican style goodness. A little too much cheese for a healthy plate, but who's going to complain?

My wife's dressing was amazing for her salad and there were a good 20 shrimp on the salad. She really enjoyed it. I can't explain how awesome the spicy ranch dressing she had was. We asked for an extra serving before we left. Seriously, 2 tablespoons full, and she charged us 60 cents for it. Really!? I would have given it 4 stars if it weren't for this. Listen I am giving you 20% on your tip, and you are going to cut into your tip for 60 cents?! Wow! Crazy!

My wife and I are great tippers and we can't believe when people dip into their tip over stupid stuff.

Oh well, the beer and the food and bread that came with my wife's salad  and my awesome pizza were great. Extra star if she didn't charge us for a little thing of dressing.

Now that is an expensive cup of dressing. Don't screw people over the little things. It peeves them off.
