Yelper Emily H., who reviewed The Mill on April 6, wrote, "Everything about this location just screams charm and I love it! The inside is definitely something new and different for Tampa which is refreshing. The menu is also better than the St. Pete location. Their food is top notch and their dirty bird sandwich is basically to die for. This will be my new go to restaurant! You really can't beat the location, the food and the charm."
Kerri P. noted, "The attention to detail is obvious in every aspect of the restaurant from the artistic walls to every dish and drink we ordered. The value is perfect for the quality of food and the atmosphere. I will definitely be a regular."

Thee Tree House's current Yelp rating of 3.5 stars out of 66 reviews indicates the newcomer is finding its way, but it's still early days.
Yelper Brandi B., who reviewed Thee Tree House on March 11, wrote, "Our group got a good mix of brunch and lunch items — I opted for the B.A.D. burger and loved it! If they added a few more menu items I think it would be the perfect spot."
Yelper Dave W. wrote, "This place was definitely a happening Tampa scene with drinks and conversation flowing! We ended up at the bar which was twice as fun! The bartenders were on point cranking out Black Russians and mimosas and bloody Marys as fast as we could enjoy them! We tried some apps like ribs and gravlax and had a blast!"
