This was one of our favorite places to eat ever. It rivalled emilios in NYC. We got baked clams to share. Amazing especially with the lemon sauce to pour on top. I got a special which was gnocchi in a bolognese sauce with burrata. Seriously so good. The gnocchi was baked and the sauce was better than emilios. My husband got the New York strip special. Medium. It melted in your mouth and the outside was crusted perfectly. Our server nick was phenomenal and I just cant say enough good things about this place. The atmosphere was so cozy with great lighting. We will be back time and time again for sure. I think we have found our special place!

The service and food is great. Their corn bread instead of bread is scrumptious. Menu changes are always a treat to get away from standard menu. Keeps you coming back. Ambiance is warm rustic.

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'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.

9-21-24 I visited a few weeks ago for brunch. Thought the food was excellent and the service top notch. Very clean, relaxed and casual atmosphere. The brunch (which I was told is on weekends only), was served buffet style. I also saw a few other dishes coming out of the kitchen which looked fantastic. I had a conversation with a few other diners near me who were locals and mentioned they eat there quite often. I'll definitely be going back soon because this place definitely seems like a hidden gem.

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!

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.
