I came in from the back/carpark entrance. Passing a dinning area on the right I proceeded to the bar on the left, where laughter was coming from as though I knew where I was going. I made myself comfy in a booth opposite the bar. In less than three minutes I was approached by a nice young lady who brought me menus and said my server would be with me shortly. Rebecca my quiet server soon came with their $11. baked clams. A bit tough but okay, crunchy too, I hope it isn't shells I'm tearing into. (No ma'am I don't want your husband.- Pardon me, that was for the biddy staring at me over her guy's head). What with music, patron's enjoyment and tellys going, it's bit noisy for my taste especially for a Sunday evening. But I'll survive. Oh HI! I just got the Kung Pao Calamari, this is great! I kid you not! I was wondering if I'd ever get to use my beloved exclamation points in this review of River Mill and here it is!!!! It's soft, but not squishy, and enough garlic sauce and crushed peanuts to make it just right! Even someone with nut allergies would enjoy this app! Overall, a nice time was had and I'm gonna be back to try other dishes. Just tell HER it isn't polite to stare. The End. read more

Went here again recently and I have to say I was disappointed. The bacon jam appetizer with almonds looks not so appetizing - server told me it was really good. it wasn't. The sesame chicken appetizer was eh... Ordered side of bacon for my daughter crispy - which came burnt - like black. had to send back. and the egg in a bowl my fave- not so great this time ...did you change your layers or recipe at all? This time too much biscuit - too little gravy - way too much short ribbed - overdone egg - overall experience this time was eh read more

Perfect brunch. Food and service was great. Great neighborhood place. Burgers, eggs Benedict and French Toast bowl were all really good.

The variety in the menu was amazing, a lot options to choose. The service was great, nicely and kind. Me and my sons liked the place, nice restaurant view. read more

Food very good, service also very friendly & good but very noisy. Difficult to hear your dinner part speak.

Came here for dinner and had the braised rib taco. It was okay. My husband has a salad. The drinks were mediocre. I read the reviews and I guess I came here with higher expectations. Overall this place was simply just that...mediocre. The menu was meh nothing special. Wouldn't come back. But glad I checked it out. read more

I really do want to like this place because I like the decor and it does have the cozy atmosphere. I've came here a few times because I always try to give a business another shot if I caught them on a bad day. I've come here twice during the week for bunch and my only two complaints are it was so cold inside and the service was super slow especially since the place was pretty empty. The food was good both times for lunch. Came for dinner and it was completely different it was nice and warm and the service was so much faster. I enjoy a meal much better if I'm not cold. I had one of their steak specials and my husband had another one of the steak special so we can both try each other's. Both steaks were cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. Here's some of the dishes I've tried: CHAR SIU PORK DUMPLINGS- Swiss Chard, Soy Wasabi Ponzu RM HISSY FIT DIP Bacon Fig Jam, Cheese, Toasted Almonds, Grilled Pizza Crust TAVERN WINGS BBQ SAN GENNARO STEAK Sliced Prime Rib, Balsamic Peppers, Provolone BLACKENED CHICKEN Caramelized Onion, Jalapeno Mayo, Tomato, Havarti Brunch is served on Saturday and Sunday so I'll come back to try their Egg In Bowl which consists of Short Rib, Gravy, Melted Cheese and Fried Egg. My whole reason for coming here in the first place was because I saw them on restaurant hunters and was like huh ok I've drove by there so many times and thought of it as just another Long Island townie bar. read more

Visited this great place again. Service was exceptional and on the mark. Had crab cakes and must say probably one of the best ever had . Generous portion of crab meat with vegetables and great sauce. As appetizer stuffed clams which were huge and tasty. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

This place is amazing! I always come here for brunch on the weekends because nothing on their brunch menu disappoints. Our waiter, Rebecca, was warm and super attentive from start to finish. She accommodated all of our picky eater requests graciously and always kept an eye on us. I got the egg frittata; the portion was filling and frittata was perfectly cooked. Even the cornbread was tasty and fresh. I love River Mill! read more

Fun atmosphere, good food and wide selection of draft beers. Service was excellent with a smile. All said, a pleasant experience.

While visiting Long Island for the week and looking for something unique we came across the reviews for River Mill. As soon as I saw the building I was transported back to 1973 when it was a neighborhood bar called the Swiss something or other. The menu was very interesting and our server was all about patiently describing the dishes in detail. Everyone else had burgers but I ventured and had the WoHop Steak sandwich open face on garlic bread with mozzarella. Don't miss this!!! We also had wings and baked clams as starters. I'd pass on the clams (way too bready) sorry Chef but everything else was fantastic. read more

A nice neighborhood spot. The food is always reliably good as is the service. Sometimes the chef owner comes out to check on you, very personable and caring. read more

Great brunch and ambience for a great dinner great staff. Just a skip and away from my home and very friendly owners and staff

We love River Mill!! Our favorite go-to meals are the crispy hot chicken sandwich and the prime pork chop. We always start with the pierogi. SO delicious!!! read more

Found the good pretty bland and the service was just ok. I haven't returned since... it's not a place I would go back to with the cost of eating out lately, you just want to enjoy it. read more

Amazing food and service!! My boyfriend took me here on our 4th date and it's one of our favorite spots!!

Best word to describe this establishment is Premium! Today I decided to celebrate my Goddaughters baptism at River Mill and Wowsers! They accommodated my group of 12 with no problem. We were greeted with warm and pleasant smiles, attentive service, and bottomless mimosas!!! Lol (Saturday brunch). The Egg in bowl meal is what I can speak of, and boy/girl was I having a western hoedown in my mouth!! succulent meat, robust seasoning, savory gravy, fresh scallions, on a warm flavor soaked (brioche I believe) bun, topped with a perfect over easy egg. The portions were generous with everyone's serving and I've heard nothing but great words about everyone else's meal. Thank each and everyone who helped us enjoy our special day! read more

I LOVE this place! I am very surprised at the review posted just prior to mine, so I felt compelled to share my experience. I have never, ever had a negative experience here. The staff is amazing; from the wait staff to the bartenders, to the chef. Everyone is delightful and always treat me wonderfully. The food is consistently delicious, and the drinks are always made like a specialty mixologist in high-end bar in Manhattan. The atmosphere is chill and it's good for a date or drinks with friends. I am never disappointed when I come here. Please give River Mil a try, you will be glad you did! Try everything on the new menu! read more

Stumbled upon this place watching the Verizon Fios food channel and I am so glad I tried this hidden gem. From the moment you walk in there is a very hometowns friendly ambiance that is very inviting ! The staff was very friendly and attentive as soon as we sat down. I came here with my dad and we split the calamari, buffalo chicken flatbread and cheeseburger. They also give you cornbread for the table during brunch hours and it was DELICIOUS. I am a huge cornbread fan and this one melted in your mouth while still having the crumb texture cornbread has. It also came with butter which was a nice touch. For our food we split, everything was truly phenomenal and fresh! The calamari was hot, crispy and came with a more creamy sauce as well as regular marinara which is great because we had many dipping sauce options! The flat bread was so light for being a buffalo chicken flatbread and wasn't overbearing at all. Lastly the cheeseburger tasted fresh as well and the bun was super soft and my favorite part. The portions are great so expect to bring home leftovers! Overall I will definitely be back to try the Mac and cheese, French toast casserole and more! read more

This restaurant is located on the corner of Ocean Ave in Lynbrook in a mostly residential area. The reason it did not get five stars was because the drinks were weak. A lot of cranberry juice not enough vodka. The amazing food and the service were five stars. The portions were huge. Ordered the white clam pizza and the lobster guacamole was excellent. Chunky lobster mixed with ripe avocado. Delish! Clam pizza huge generously topped with clam. Delish ! We both ordered the pork chop dish. Only thing I didn't like on pork chop was the fry kale. Otherwise chop cooked perfectly. The chop was moist n juicy. A lot of food and great prices. I didn't have a reservation but I didn't wait long. Great service. Average drinks plus great food and service equals I will be back! read more

everything is always consistent here. FOod, service, and fun. The fresh baked bread they gave you is amazing. Great brunch spot and loud enough to bring your kids and there sound is drowned out read more

We took a drive to another restaurant in the area and were disappointed in the food choices. Stumbled on this place on yelp and thought photos look okay let's give it a shot. So glad we didn't settle at the first place! The food was delicious and we were so full when we left. Wish it wasn't so far from us, because we wouldn't definitely come back! read more

Love River Mill! Delicious food everytime we go. There is something for everyone, even the little kids!

I winner with their food, service, Parking in the rear, and a wonderful bar.We go here often.

Awesome awesome awesome addition to the neighborhood! Used to live in Lynbrook and came here to visit family. Let me tell you that there used to be not a lot of good restaurants in town so this is a treat! Saturday brunch was crowded and there was a party going on. Service was pleasant and didn't find it slow at all. Food offerings were creative and flavorful. They even gave warm cornbread with butter on the side for the table. I had the grilled fish tacos on warm grilled flour tortillas. Hub-luv had the brunchee burger which he LOVED. Parents had pulled pork flatbread which they enjoyed. Prices are fair specially for brunch $10 for unlimited mimosas, bellinis and bloody Maria's! I liked my Maria's spicy ;) Highly recommend, if u think ur gps isn't working don't worry- it's just in a residential area ;) read more

OMG what a hidden gem!! Came here with my family on a rainy Sunday for brunch. My dad wanted to stay local so our options were limited and we picked River Mill purely based on location. I was hesitant because it seemed like we were driving into a residential area. Atmosphere is very casual and bar-like so I didn't expect everything to be as good as it was! Service was attentive and we were greeted with a warm loaf of cornbread to start. Seriously so good and warm and buttery. I could've had just that cornbread for breakfast and be done! Anyways, the menu seemed like normal brunch fare but our dishes were actually rather eclectic and more creative than expected. I ordered the chicken and waffles. This was the strangest rendition of chicken and waffles I've ever had yet it was one of the most delicious. It was almost a tower...starting from the bottom was all sorts of potatoes in a sauce that I couldn't figure out. Atop that sat a singular waffle and syrup. Atop that was the *grilled* chicken (instead of the expected fried), with an egg over medium! SO many flavors and textures, I was almost overwhelmed. Honestly, it was excellent, and I would order it again. Everyone else's dishes were equally complex (and also quite big). We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. Given the portion sizes, sharing wouldn't be a terrible idea. My family of 4 will probably share 3 dishes next time. For drinks, we had the mimosa (brunch cocktail and unlimited) and the froze (from the regular cocktail menu). The froze, probably seasonal, was definitely a standout and again like everything else I've said about this place, sooo unexpectedly good! Yummy, blended perfectly and decent size! Since I live so close, I'll surely be back soon and recommend to everyone! read more
