Green Mill Restaurant & Bar

Love this place, best pizza in town. Glad they have delivery also. Deep dish pizza you can add any toppings.

I was in town on a business trip and needed a place to grab a quick meal. That Tuesday night, I had the pleasure of sitting in Jeanne’s section. She was incredibly courteous, insightful/​knowledgable of the menu, and attentive to my table. The food was great; I had the bruschetta at her recommendation and it was definitely worth the try. Being from out of town, waitstaff at home are usually rude, and Jeanne was definitely a breath of fresh air! If I find myself back in Eau Claire on business on a Tuesday night, I’m definitely coming back to visit her and the Green Mill.

Not impressed tonight. Very few people here and it is going on 45 minutes now. Refills should be automatic. Food was good, just a little disappointed with how slow things moved. Granted I was there by myself so I didn’t have great company or conversation.

Let me start with the service was great. The food however… Not so great. Eggs Benedict — the eggs were hard cooked, the strawberry waffle topping was put on the waffle ice cold, they forgot our toast.
We are staying at the hotel so just came here for breakfast.
If you have the option to go somewhere else, go.

Ridiculously slow service, even for a Friday night. Server brought bread about a half hour in after being asked, so that was nice. The bread is pretty acceptable, but I can’t speak to the remainder of the meal as I have yet to eat an hour in to my visit. I’ve seen the server maybe a total of three times in this timeframe.
I would not come here again, but if you come on off hours you might have the opportunity to actually eat, and it may or may not be good.
Update: the food was pretty good, and the manager was apologetic and made it right. Apparently there was a big event that was bogging them down, so be aware of that. I would give them another chance and have updated my rating to a ³⁄₅.

Great service and awesome servers! Love coming here for Happy Hour and their Cheese Focasia (spelling?) and the Three Cheese Chipotle Nachos! :)

Conveniently located within the hotel. The breakfast selection was extensive. We dined in a booth that was clean and comfortable. The food came quickly and was delicious.

Continuing with the theme of less than par customer service. Evenings seem to be their biggest challenge regarding service.

Normally not a chain kinda guy. However convenience and consistency was the plan. I was not let down. Had the Thai Chicken Salad, great choice. This is my third trip to Green Mill in about 5 weeks. I don’t recommend sitting in the bar, unless at the bar. Each time bar room service has not been stellar.

Yes, this is a regional chain, but the menu has good variety without getting ridiculous, the food is good and the service is excellent. My family and I especially like Green Mill’s menu for going a little beyond the norm and delivering in ways that other chains just do not.
The service is what really bumps this place up for us — highly attentive (without being cloying) and friendly. They boxed the leftovers away from the table, which is unfortunately not something every chain (or even independent restaurant) does. They brought extra plates for sharing without being asked, and even replaced the sharing salad/​bread plates with sharing dinner-​sized plates.
Nice place. While we prefer independents, this is more than acceptable as a chain and the service at this restaurant was top-​notch.

Fabulous pizza !! Spinach and garlic deep dish was awesome!

Fantastic food, great drinks. I highly recommend this place. The cheese curds are perfect. The service was a bit slow, however the food more than made up for it.

We stay at the Clarion when in EC and have found the bar and restaurant excellent for both food and service. We were there for an extended stay due to family matters. We were made to feel very welcome.

If you’re staying at the hotel, it’s close and the food is ok. But I’ve been underwhelmed the last couple times we’ve been here. Service is good, but the menu offerings are underwhelming and don’t change very often. Their pizza is probably the best thing on the menu, so I’d suggest sticking with that.
It’s usually pretty noisy in the bar area, and if there are wedding parties or other events in the hotel, is can spill over into the restaurant as well. If you’re looking for quiet, ask to be seated in the back corner of the dining room.

If you are ever in Eau Claire, this is the place to go grab a meal. While from the outside it looks like a standard restaurant attached to a Clarion, do not let the looks deceive you. Lots of good food and a solid draft list inside. I definitely recommend the chicken parm as it is topped with not only mozz cheese and tomato sauce but also chopped tomatoes brushetta style. This is a really nice touch to the meal as it adds a freshness to the meal. Portion size was huge as it also comes with a helping of fettuccine. Other highlights include the Cream of Potato soup (with bacon) and the herbed butter that comes with the bread. It was so good that I had to go back.

Eh. I was in the mood for some pasta, but was quite underwhelmed with the selection on the menu. I decided I would ask if it was possible to order just some spaghetti noodles with a marinara sauce. Our server informed me they couldn’t do that because they did not have spaghetti noodles. I said that was ok that they didn’t have spaghetti noodles and looked at the other dishes listed on the menu, to see which kinds of noodles they did have. Out of curiosity, I asked her about the shape of one of the noodles listed on the menu that I had not heard of before. Instead of saying she didn’t know, she decided to give me a lecture on pasta noodles and tell me that it didn’t matter which type of noodle I got because they all taste exactly the same and the only difference was the shape. She unnecessarily and with a condescending tone, started naming every other noodle and listed shapes of all of the noodles I was familiar with instead of the one I was asking about. I smiled and listened politely. When she was finished, I picked a noodle and sauce.
After she left the table, our server was very inattentive throughout the remainder of our meal. When the food arrived, it was quite overcooked, and pretty poor quality even for pasta. I find it hard to mess up pasta with marinara sauce and am surprised on the rare occasions when this happens.
When we received the bill, I was charged for pasta with chicken. If I knew I was going to be charged for extra chicken, I would’ve gladly had some chicken added to my pasta.
Well, what do you do… I walked in with very low expectations, but still ended up leaving disappointed.

5 stars because this is my favorite place in town.
We always stay at the hotel and go there for the spinach dip
And the bartender Kelly, she is phenomenal.
Patient, attentive. Just wonderful.
go for the food, and return for the bartender she makes our visit every time. Just make sure you sit at the bar.
See you in a few months.

Tremendous pizza. We came here on a recommendation which turned out to be quite good. Cheese curds app since this is Wisconsin and then my wife and I split a sausage Alfredo pizza. The cheese was excellent and abundant and the drizzle of balsamic vinegar was perfect with the spinach. Great pizza, much more than you expect from a Restaurant attached to a mid range hotel. A very unexpected and nice find.

9-​close happy hour is the best!
All appetizers are ½ off! Also the buffalo wings are amazing! A little on the spicy side but still amazing! Also any of the flat bread pizzas are good too!

Fantastic service with great food. I have now tried well over half of the menu. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable about the food. The bar is well stocked for all tastes and it is hard not to like the place.
The one downside… And this is not a complaint… Is the food on their dinner menu seems to be priced a little high. I cannot accurately judge this tho as I have gone to only a few places here in Eau Claire.
