River Mill Tavern Tables

This is a wonderful place. One of the most authentic and comfortable pub taverns that I’ve been to on this side of the Atlantic. Excellent neighborhood setting, street presence, sense of arrival and energy. Chow and service fantastic to boot. It’s certainly not easy to get all of this right. Perfect execution. Bravo.

Food was delicious!!! Apps were by far my fav! One persons main dish was very delayed coming out while everyone else’s arrived Overall. It was a good dining experience. I will say the busboy Jameson went out of his way to clear the appetizer dishes and ensure our pitcher of water was full throughout dinner. He def worked very hard throughout the time we were there. Our waitress was very nice as well.

I never wrote a restaurant review before but I felt the need to do so for River Mill. This is the first time a restaurant’s food had left such a good impression on me that I was planning out the review as I was still eating my meal! My family was seated quickly and the first thing I noticed was how much natural light the tall windows let in. The atmosphere in the restaurant is quiet and serene, a beautiful place to relax and just enjoy your food with your loved ones. Our waiter was a tall burly man with short white hair, I wish I got his name. Aside from the amazing food, he was the real star of the show! Amazing service, with friendly banter and it seemed like he memorized the menu from heart. As I was leaving I saw him answer the restaurant phone while holding onto three trays full of food. I hate dining in NYC because of their pretentious foods and the 18% tip being the smallest recommended one, but good lord this place’s service is next level! If the waiter had demanded a 100% tip I would fork it over! The prices are nice, I underestimated how big the servings here would be (they’re huge! You get plenty of food for a reasonable price, and the quality of the food was amazing! I am an avid seafood hater but the shrimp in their kung pao chicken and shrimp was incredible! They were some of the fattest shrimps I’ve ever seen, with the juiciest meat inside! Didn’t taste fishy at all and I forgot I was eating seafood! None of those nerd shrimps in sight, just big beefy boys one after the other. The shorty pizza we ordered was huge, with tons of short rib bits. They don’t hold back on meat here, it was amazing! I only wish there were more of those mushrooms and asparagus in the wagyu tidbit dish, they were truly to die for. I could eat a bowl of just those mushrooms! There must be cocaine in their seasoning because the food was so addicting. I found it slightly salty to my liking but my family had no issues so I think that’s more of a personal preference. The water had some typical floaties due to the ice melting, and the bathroom lights were off which confused me. The wagyu tidbit dish had an amazing garlic bread on the bottom, which got soaked in all the delicious juice from the steak that it ended up wet and chewy, so I think it would have been better to keep the meat and bread separate, but again these are personal preferences. Amazing food and service! 5 stars

The food at this unassuming restaurant is always terrific! Appetizers, salads, burgers or the crab cakes or halibut! Have never, ever had a bad meal here in all the years we have gone. And the wine selection is pretty reasonable too! Can't go wrong here. Small but cozy outside dinner area as well as bar area.

I had a car maintenance nearby and my family came in to pick up to have brunch together. After searching online, River Mill got our eyes. The interior looks chill. Our hostess is very welcoming. Since we were hungry, we decided to order five brunch dishes. Everything came in very delicious. Our group had 4 adults and 1 child, 5 dishes which is too much for us. There were still half of the grill cheese, half of the Benedict and fries. We started to eat slow and had some conversation when we ate and shared the rest . Maybe our server felt like we can't finish the food, so she asked if we were done with the food. I told her we were still enjoying them. Then another young boy server came to ask again. We don't want to waste food, yet the chips and fries will tastes soggy, so we decided to finish them. That took us some time to finish. At the end, we were all full and we had to pack up the rest of the food. The restaurant also has a outdoor table.
