The food is amazing. Tasty and very well prepared. The crabcake was crispy and full of lumps of crab with no fillers that I could perceive. My friend said the onion soup was good and the cheese was perfectly blended sealing the onion broth. The salad was fresh and savory, with some sautéed onions, artichoke heart, tomatoes, burrata cheese, and amazing polenta crutons. The red fish was good but too spicy. The scallops and the shrimp that came with it were cooked to perfection. This is definitely a place to come back to and taste other items. I liked it a lot.

To say this place is amazing, breathtaking, and the definition of home is an understatement. First time coming here and I will DEFINITELY be back thanks to Monica and all the staff. She was very attentive and informative and was able to help me make a decision on what I wanted with ease! She took her time and didnt make us feel rushed as we explored the menu since it was our first time. She started us off with some refreshing water and then brought us the Piña colada mocktails we ordered which were full of flavor but small for the price. There was so much delicious food to choose from, to start we got the Mussels and they were super tender with a decadent creamy white sauce and fresh Parmasean cheese. For Entree I got the Pan-seared Chilean Sea Bass and I fell in love! First time trying bass and it was amazing. It had a delicious crust but it was super buttery, soft and tender and the sides it came with was the perfect combo along with 4 perfectly cooked clams! My husband got the Pecan Crusted Atlantic Ocean Salmon and it came with potato puree and coleslaw that was to die for! For dessert we got the Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee and everything was well complimented! The atmosphere was warm (we sat at the table across the fireplace!) Beautiful decor and you can hear the river as it runs by the restaurant so its definitely soothing. While we enjoyed the food, the restaurant manager went to every table checking in on everyone which was so nice to see and made us feel welcomed and taken care of. I can only speak highly of this place that was super impromptu, I just moved to Connecticut and was looking for somewhere good to eat after a long day of work and this experience was definitely well worth the last hour I had in me of my day that I usually spend at home scrolling on my phone lol.

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants within the area. The atmosphere is extremely solid, food was pretty much perfect, and overall great service from the staff working there. Definitely will be returning to this restaurant within the next few weeks. It’s restaurants like these that reminded me just how good New England is when it comes to seafood, and just restaurants in general. Highly recommend, cuz I will be highly recommending myself to go back!

We came here for our anniversary. The service was great. Our server was so nice and attentive despite the restaurant being totally packed. I loved the complimentary bread with the butter. So good. We got some drinks and those were good too. For our appetizer we shared a pretzel, it was delicious. For entrees, I had shrimp scampi and he had vodka pasta. My shrimp scampi was soo good. This place did it right. I had some bites of my boyfriend’s vodka pasta and it was great. So flavorful! He enjoyed it. Overall, amazing dining experience. I would love to come here again. Definitely get reservations, we had to park across the street because of how packed it was. We had reservations but I can’t imagine what the wait time would be if we didn’t have one.

It’s hard to beat this local mainstay for either quality or service. They have a classic American menu with plenty of options, a robust wine list, and they deliver on quality. We had a large table of 10 and decided to get the family-style appetizers, which were delicious! We also each started with a very tasty cocktail.
For dinner I had one of the specials, the prime rib, which was cooked perfectly. Absolutely no complaints from anyone on their entrees. Service was impeccable, and we will definitely return next year.

The food was excellent! Everything I ordered was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional, which made the whole experience even better. The decor was also really nice—warm, elegant, and very cozy. I loved the overall ambience. It’s the kind of place that feels special but still comfortable. Highly recommend for a great night out!

I got married at the Mill On The River 26 years ago. Each Anniversary, we return for a nice dinner. Service is incredible. There’s a hostess that seats you, a waiter that takes your order, a waiter that brings bread, another waiter that brings your food and all 3 continuously checks on you. The atmosphere is very comfortable with a fireplace going and a window seat to look out at the river. The prices have gone up with portion size going down, but you don’t leave hungry. Just no longer bring leftovers home. It will run you about $50/pp, without tip, if you get appetizers, meal, and a drink. They usually throw in dessert and champagne if you tell them it’s your Anniversary/Birthday.

Was a guest from Arizona at a work dinner while traveling. Fantastic food and excellent service and atmosphere. Was there the evening before flight cancelations started due to the government shutdown… Secretly hoped ours got canceled so I could come back at eat here the next night. Will definitely find reasons to visit the area regularly, just so I can come back for more.

It was a beautiful dining experience from booking the reservation. We called early on a Wednesday and found that it was best to book a reservation. We had to push it back by 15 minutes and when I called ahead of time the staff was very accommodating. Once we arrived we were seated immediately and the server came fairly quick. She was attentive and very nice throughout dinner, and didn’t hover excessively. I ordered the stuffed shrimp and my Mom had the Salmon. Overall the food was exquisite. The ambiance was perfect and although we couldn’t be seated on the patio we ventured out and explored the water as well. Will definitely be returning.
