Restaurant · 40 guests · November 2025 · The Speakeasy

The whole team at The Gin Mill were such incredible hosts. Tony was a rockstar, making sure everything ran smoothly during our event. He was also incredibly kind and funny and made sure everyone felt welcome. Christine was an amazing resource leading up to the event as we had to pivot to a bar buyout to accommodate our larger than expected crowd. The location was amazing, the food was incredible, 10/10 all around.
