Decent food if you go the right time. Staff is disgusting, blatantly muttering insults about me and my girlfriend under their breath which was meant for us to hear clearly. The waitstaff are nasty people. If you want a pleasant time go elsewhere. I used to like this place. Have not been back in 2 years since. Heard their service has also gone down the tubes recently along with the food.

Had a beautiful baby shower at the Mill Pond House yesterday! We were blown away with how well they treated us! Everyone at the Mill Pond was so kind, patient and friendly! They helped set up, arrange the room, clean up and load the cars with the presents! The food was spectacular as always! I've had many parties at the Mill Pond House and they NEVER disappoint!! The views of the Mill Pond are simply breathtaking!!!

Service and view were nice. Food was underwhelming. Fish didnt taste fresh (sushi tasted fishy). Seared tuna entree was completely over cooked - a chef is supposed to serve that dish rare. Baked clams were good.

You will not be disappointed with Mill Pond. The food and service are equally EXCELLENT and the atmosphere is hard to beat. Yes, the prices have increased a bit with the pandemic, but that's standard across the board for restaurants these days. Mill Pond is a Centerport staple and I'm happy to support them. Every meal I've ever had there was nothing short of TOP NOTCH!!!

Wonderful anniversary dinner. The octopus was seasoned well and tender while the buratta was well paired with grilled peaches. Next course was duck and seared tuna, both really delicious. Really enjoyed the "outdoor" seating even during a hurricane!
Feedback: Steamed veggies had no flavor but good texture.
