    Baked Clams -chopped-
    Michael G.

    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.!

    Buffalo Chicken Flatbread (minus 1 piece)  Delicious!
    Kristen M.

    I've been wanting to try Rivermill for years and finally went for a family event on a Sunday. The food was really good! - I got the buffalo chicken flatbread, which was very good! Crispy flatbread, with decent portions of cheesy buffalo chicken on top. My sister said the burger was great too. We had a pretzel appetizer that came with pizza dip, which was good and a little different than the cheese sauce you'd normally get. The Cookie platter dessert was also delicious. - If you like cocktails, the Frozen Sangria is a must in my book! So fresh and Not overly sweet. Absolutely delicious! - We were about 15 people and had made a reservation. I was pleasantly surprised at how great the service was even with such a big group! They checked on us often, brought food and drinks quickly, and accommodated all our requests. - They had seating in a patio area outback, which was half covered by an awning. (We sat inside) - They also had high chairs available upon request.

    My first time back for lunch at the River Mill since the pandemic. They added/upgraded their backyard patio which is very lovely and when we are not in the middle of a heat wave I will check it out! I had the mahi-mahi tacos special which was delicious. It came with three tacos - I ate two and brought one home but ate it as soon as I got in the door bc it was too good to wait for dinner. My friend got the waygu steak sandwich and she said it had a wonderful seasoned flavor. She brought half of hers home - I'll have to see if she was able to hold off until dinner to eat it! River Mill never disappoints!

    Great meeting space was set up for us

    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!

I can't give 5 stars as the dining we struggle with .. Service is up and down. Both occasions felt the same. For Prime 39, I categorized the place as a restaurtant that happens to provide fine dining, but has an upscale feel. The music selection is really good here and the selection feeds into the upscale feeling with a good mix of R&B. We arrived promptly for our reservation but noted that it took a while to seat us, even though the dining room was empty. I do appreciate the dividers as they give you some privacy when sitting next to another group. The wait was uncomfortably long, which made us wonder if we should change our reservation to sit at the bar. We ordered drinks and water, but it took a while for the drinks to make their way to the table. The place wasn't that busy, but it did make us want to rush our order in for appetizers and entrees. Drinks were watery... As in sitting too long stir up the ice and keep stirring. The food had some winners. We enjoyed our entrees of Branzino, Burger, Cajun Shrimp Pasta as well as our appetizers which included lamb chops and Calamari. We also had a mini-chicken and waffles appetizer... Really good. I haven't seen this before and glad I tried it. Although we did enjoy the entrees, we left the drinks. From my experience I would suggest visiting the bar but I would place an order to go.

    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.

They not only accommodated us but even asked other patrons to shift a bit so we'd have more space. Such a thoughtful touch. We started with the chickpea fries with smoky hummus and the crispy tuna tartare -- both were incredible. The chickpea fries were different in the best way, perfectly crisp, and that hummus had just the right amount of smokiness. The spicy tuna hit the spot -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For mains, I had the chopped gem salad, which was so fresh with the best tangy dressing -- light but full of flavor. I also ordered the lamb kebabs, but I was so full I had to take them to go. My husband had the pork shank, which was fall-apart tender with a rich cider sauce that was absolutely delicious. And the drinks -- my Tito's martini was perfect. Great food, warm service, and a cozy atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Chicken was crispy and juicy. It traveled fairly well on our 10 minute trip from the restaurant. I also tried the periogies as well as the stuffed pepper and fries which came with a couple different entrees. All in all, definitely a tier above nearly all tavern food. Staff was very personable and accommodating while we waited for our order. Modern yet cozy atmosphere. Sleek bar with a huge counter. Large communal table by the bar. Good spot for groups of nearly any size.

The buratta went well with the creamy tomato based sauce. We also enjoyed the tortellini alla panna which had a cream based sauce with tomatoes and peas.
