N	Nancy J on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were there for lunch, my mother's 90th birthday. The quality and presentation of the food saves this review from getting one star. Plus the friendliness of the staff. However, as is typical with this restaurant, we waited over an hour for our food, which we normally expect and can handle, but we had 2 people over 90 years of age, and they were very hungry and distressed. We were hoping that knowing we were having a 90th party some consideration would be granted at least to the two older guests. All of our orders were incorrect as well, and there were a lot of us ( almost 20), but the main restaurant was empty and the patio only had a couple of tables seated so I am not certain why the orders were so difficult. I expect that post pandemic it is hard to find experienced wait staff. But, they were courteous and apologetic. There are many restaurants to choose from that have a better overall experience. I was quite disappointed because my son had his wedding here in 2018 and it was a fab experience, although our dinner wasn't served until 830. It's a theme with this restaurant. I would recommend Aqua Terra over this site since the chef has changed there.

K	Kelly Poehlman on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The River Mill is a definite must visit if in Kingston. My husband and I were in Kingston celebrating our wedding anniversary. We treated ourselves to a couples massage from Dolce Bella that came with a lunch from the River Mill. The service was amazing and the food was exquisite. We both ordered the Waygu Burger. I don't typically eat burgers, but this was devine. We had a reservation somewhere else for dinner, but after experiencing the service and food and the River Mill, we decided to go back for dinner. We had a late reservation so there was no Waygu steak left, so I ordered the beef tenderloin. Steak is my go to all the time and I usually have a hard time finding a restaurant that can cook it as well as my husband. This cut was mouth-watering! I was very impressed. My husband ordered the duck confit. At first he didn't like the beet salad, but once combined with the duck, he said the flavors really complimented each other. Our meals were amazing and our waiter was great. There was another gentleman working there that may have been a manager or owner. He remembered us from the afternoon and stopped by our table often to check on us. For desert we ordered the lavender-honey creme brulee (we had the vanilla creme brulee after lunch). Both were very delicious. Overall, we were very impressed with the atmosphere, the service and the food and will definitely return the next time we are in Kingston! Thank you for everything!
R	Rachel Reid on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Thanks so much for a great office party Saturday night. My husband and I, personally, had a great time. The food was decent and the servers were attentive, and my drinks were never empty. We had karaoke as well so that was fun. Especially after a few drinks. All in all, I would probably visit here on my own to see what other dishes they have.
P	Penny Hodges on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Five of us went to lunch today to celebration my sons 21st birthday. Our server was fantastic (I didn’t get his name but a genuinely nice chap with a wonderful sense of humour). The River Mill is in a beautiful location and although the weather was wet and miserable the setting was beautiful and peaceful. I have a lot of allergies including being Gluten intolerant and I had the best, most tastiest meal that I have ever had the pleasure of eating and the rest of my table agreed that their food was by far the best that their taste buds have experienced so far. If I could rate 100 stars I would but alas I’m only able to choose 5!! Thank you River Mill for helping (and singing) George celebrate his birthday ?
K	Kelly S. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had a lovely experience here last weekend with some friends. Chris was a very helpful and sweet server (thank you!) and offered suggestions to what would pair well together. I got the Gouda Cheese Puffs, which were delectable, as well as the gnocchi! The food was excellent and the vibe was very low-key and calm.
J	Juan Barahona on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the best restaurants in Kingston. The Wagyu Beef Burger is one of the most delicious I've tried. The potato leek soup was very tasty too. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. There are gluten free options too which is great for my wife. It's right next to the lake so in the summer you could enjoy the patio as well.
