Their October Feast menu was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. (my favorite is the potato pancake)It's super family-friendly, too. My daughter love their chicken tenders and grilled cheese. The staff is exceptionally warm and friendly. They have plenty of seating/dining area, also I recommend to make reservation if you visiting with large groups or on weekends/holidays as this place gets crowded.

"The" Crispy Hot Chicken Sandwich
Cheryl M.

River Mill is a Pub eatery with a rustic look in decor. I ordered the onion soup with pork wontons, very different but very good, would definitely order it again. I had baked clams that consisted of mostly bread crumbs. The "Hot" Fried Chicken Sandwich was ok, it was very greasy, we were told the grease came from the dressing on the chicken. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the food and attentive.

I've been wanting to come to this place for a while. The service was good. The food was surprisingly delicious I didn't know what I was in for. The wings were good. Mozzarella sticks were good too! My pot roast was very flavorful to the point it was too much flavor. My husband enjoyed his sandwich.

Baked Clams -chopped-

Superb food, delicious cocktails and attentive service. The bar area is a welcoming space with ample seating and good vibes. The bourbon peach smash and the baked clams are delicious!

NY Strip with Cornbread

Formerly the Swiss Tavern, River Mill is a quaint small restaurant and bar with hard working servers, host, and owners. This was my second attendance to this establishment. I forgot that the name and owners changed in 2015. Walk in and there's a cozy ambiance. Bar to the left, high tables to the right, main dining room past these Dining area with same cozy wood interior ambiance. Their wine list is unintimidating and simple for an easy no nonsense choice. For appetizers the Calamari comes with a choice of Crispy Classic, Buffalo, or Kung Pao. We picked the former Classic which was very good. The Pretzel with Cheese app was fluffy and warm which we all enjoyed. My 12 oz NY Strip was presented with potato-shaped slices of cornbread in a sauce and fresh string beans which was delicious. Two at the table enjoyed their Clam Soup (not chowder), one their Fish Tacos, and 5th the Crab Cakes. The service and hard work is what really impressed me about this place. The servers were great renewing the water carafe and explanation of dishes, but I could have sworned some of our dishes were brought out by an owner or the chef himself. Something about these guys presented with finese and wisdom. One Google search while writing this review and wouldn't you know it, both the Chef/Owner and the other Owner brought out the main dishes! We had an exceptional time at this cozy gem. Extra rating for the ingenious calamari choices and the seamless teamwork. It's a cozy neighborhood place, but these guys work hard to enhance the customer experience!

I pass by River Mill most days, had considered giving them a second chance, from a strange experience that I had many years ago when it had a different name. Decided to stop in finally, for (potentially) a beer and some food, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had Smithwick's on tap at the bar. I brought out my work, wrote out a few things and waited patiently to be acknowledged. I have to say I was not made to feel comfortable, I did not get a beer. I did not get any food. I closed my book and my work and decided this place will be will not be getting my patronage. zero stars

Fish and Chips
Jill M.

Always a delicious meal at River Mill. Today we had a St Paddy's Day lunch Corned beef egg rolls, so tasty. Fish and Chips, flakey fish with light batter. Shepherds Pie with both beef and lamb, so yummy. Potato Leek soup was the highlight, crispy leeks on top was perfection. Our server Kristen was very personable and accommodating. The ambiance is relaxed and comfortable.!

Great meeting space was set up for us

I had the opportunity to eat at River Mill at a visit to a Kiwanis Club meeting. It was a delightful and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. They have a nice size parking lot behind the restaurant and there is street parking as well. It's right on Ocean Ave off Peninsula Blvd and extremely easy to get to. You walk to a nice bar/restaurant and are greeted very nicely. It really makes a big difference when you walk into a restaurant and they're happy to see you. We sat in a sectioned off area in the room in the back and had about 25 people. It is a wonderful setting with a lot of electricity in the air. Being part of a group makes a little bit easier as the menus already picked out. I went with the Chicken Cutlet Parm with vodka sauce and pasta. This was delicious. The chicken was thin and tender with a great crunch. Sauce was excellent and the pasta was perfectly cooked. We had a very attentive server who managed to get our entire order before a meeting gets started everything is served quickly which allows us to be able to relax for a while. It sounds like simple thing but it takes a lot of work and River Mill did it very well. Let's not forget that River Mill is a also a wonderful bar that is managed well with great selections of draft beers and plenty of specially cocktails. It's good to sit back and see so many people having a good time. Lots of regulars here. I am definitely looking forward to going back just as a couple where we can sit and enjoy some of their other food. KUDOs to the team at River Mill.

What time is the brunch menu hours ? Is the regular menu available also?

I would call to find out the Brunch times Bc they've changed the times that they're open for business due to the pandemic. As a result, they may have changed the brunch hours as well. But yes, regular menu is also available during brunch time.

Is there a happy hour?

Yep! M-F 3-7!

From start to finish, Haviland never disappoints. We were seated by Don the owner. Sat and chatted…read morefor a bit since we had been there a few times . It was our anniversary and we were delighted with 2 glasses of champagne . My advice , get the steak , it was out of this world ! I had a few glasses of Cabernet and my wife had the Moscow mule. Dessert was nothing short of amazing as well , I had the cheesecake and my wife had the apple cookie. The wait staff was always checking to see how we were doing and Don would come around to see how anniversary dinner came out . Great restaurant for any occasion but try to make reservation ahead of time as it's a very popular place to eat near water. Thanks for a great night Haviland !

Small, cozy spot with a great vibe !…read more Definitely recommend making reservations because it fills up quickly. The owner and his wife are usually there working and they're both so warm and welcoming. They always take the time to stop by each table to say hello and make sure everyone's happy, which really adds a personal touch you don't find often anymore. The food is consistently amazing, one of my absolute favorites is the fried burrata with honey drizzle (trust me, it's a must-try!). The cheeseburger, pasta dishes, and chicken are all incredible -- everything I've had has been a solid 10/10. You can really tell they put care into every detail, from presentation to flavor. Whether you're coming for a date night, dinner with friends, or just a nice meal out, Haviland Kitchen & Bar never disappoints. It's one of those local gems you'll keep coming back to. Thank you for the outstanding service, each and every time.

We decided to give No Good Burger Joint a try after my partner came across a reel online, and I'm…read moreso glad we did because this place was such a delicious surprise! I ordered the turkey burger with cheddar cheese and red onion, along with the truffle fries, and everything was really good. But the real standout for me was the Shirley Temple slushie! I honestly wasn't expecting to see that on the menu, and it was SO good. Definitely something I'd order again. The service was good, and I really liked the vibe inside. It's spacious without feeling overly large, and the ambiance is cute and fun. They have little photos and artwork throughout the space, including some funny cow-themed pictures, like a cow driving a car, which added to the personality of the restaurant. Overall, No Good Burger Joint was a great find. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was fun, and that Shirley Temple slushie definitely left an impression. We'll absolutely be going back and next time, we're bringing the kids!

@ NO GOOD BURGER JOINT they flattened the competition (i mean Literally)…read more I ordered the HOT TONY SMASH BURGER, sat at a table and waited for what I thought would be a "Bigger" meal coming out. Instead I was surprised by "an appetizer?" I nearly choked up with laughter inside when literally a 2 inch bun with a "flat" beef burger was brought over to my table. I immediately thought of Clara Peller the 81 year old retired manicurist from Chicago when she was discovered and cast in the iconic 1984 Wendy's ad campaign, "Where's the beef?", and yeah I am not joking here. For $19 bucks at No Good Burger Joint; what came out between two small buns wasn't enough for me to say, "OH YEAH! ". *5 STARS on the interior, plenty of tables comfortable spot at the bar for drinks TV the game. *Bathroom, clean nostalgic. *Parking, read the signs, no metered. Weekends will be crowded after 6pm. *Long Island Rail Road, Babylon Line to Rockville Centre walk North on Village restaurant on left. *Nice Bus, N15 to Rockville Centre LIRR Station. Walk North on Village to restaurant on left. Final thoughts: my review only encompasses my order of the Hot Tony Smash Burger and not the whole menu. If you do stop by for a quick bite, your call just dont forget to tell them the Guru sent you. The Review Guru* Long Island NY
