About Us

General Manager Elliott Blackstone loves trying new things and seeing new places, which, he admits, is probably what draws him to restaurant work. Born in Maine and raised in Idaho, Blackstone attended Gordon College in Wenhan, Massachusetts, where he majored in math and minored in bible studies. He worked as a statistician for the USDA before deciding to enter the hospitality industry, where his sense of adventure led him to restaurants all over the country, from New Hampshire to Hawaii, and back here to Georgia. Raised with influences from his southern mama, and possessing a deep love for southern cuisine, he feels right at home in metro-Atlanta these days. He enjoys the people and the atmosphere here at The Mill, and personally recommends the shrimp and grits or the fish tacos.
