"Attended my first Elite Yelp event at the Mill Creek Tavern in Bayville. I attended other events as a plus one but this was better because now I was elite and I already knew some of the players like my friend Bill S who introduced me to this wonderful world of Yelp. What makes these events great to me are the friendly yelpers who attend with their honest fair reviews and most important is the generous hospitality of the restaurant owners. Once we arrived the Mill Creek Tavern Staff had everything prepared waiting for us. We started with their specialty drinks, Dark and Stormy, Pumpkin Ale and Sang-Rose with sorbet. My fav was the dark and stormy, Black Rum, Pumpkin Beer and Lime Juice. Then all the samples of food came out, Filet Mignon Crostini, Seafood Ceviche, Mussels Provençale, Sauerbraten Short Rib Sliders, Jager Schnitzel Sliders, Pan Seared Sea Scallops, Mac Cheese, Brat in a Blanket, Pretzel Baked Brie, Burrata Crostini, Shrimp Cocktail and Artichoke Risotto Cakes. There was so much to choose from, It was like cocktail hour at a weeding and the food just kept coming. Then desert, I was already full at this point but of course had to try. Berries Cream, Chocolate Mouse, Mini Purple Cow Floats and Mini Brownie Sundays. All were delicious. The event went fast, everyone was enjoying themselves socializing, eating and experiencing great service. The staff didn't miss a beat, they just kept coming out with food being efficient, friendly and courteous, even the owner Rich came out and not only served food he also mingled with us speaking to everyone and making sure we had everything we needed. This was a great time seemed to be had by all. I know a lot goes into this planning one of theses events. I am grateful for the Rich, the owner for opening up his restaurant to us, the staff for just great services and to Drew for organizing this. Mill Creek Tavern is a great place to eat, not only is the food really good, the décor is very pleasing, they even have a fireplace. One can enjoy this restaurant year round. I will return and would definitely recommend dining here."

"Ken is the Culinary King in this area, as far as I’m concerned. Since moving back from the city, I haven't stopped eating at this restaurant, and I don’t plan to anytime soon. Tonight, I enjoyed the French onion soup (without the bread), a quinoa and arugula salad with tomatoes and pine nuts, and a delightful truffle risotto. Everything was fantastic. P.S. I can’t forget to mention the Chardonnay!"

"Absolutely the best! We celebrated my mother's birthday, and it couldn't have been more perfect. When I first called to make a reservation, the woman who answered the phone—her name was Cathy, I believe—was incredibly sweet and accommodating. My father is in a wheelchair, and she ensured that our table was ideal for him. We had a party of 10, and our waiter, Eddie, was attentive and very helpful with everything we needed. We enjoyed the Sunday afternoon brunch menu, and the food was outstanding, as always. Jeanine herself truly outdid herself. If you've never been to The View Grill, it's an absolute gem located on a stunning golf course overlooking the Long Island Sound. I can't wait to go back!"

"After we placed our order, I observed that all the other patrons were Caucasian and appeared quite affluent. We were, without a doubt, the darkest-skinned couple there that day. I noticed another gentleman, whom I suspected was the manager, dressed in a coat, bustling around and greeting other customers as they arrived and left. However, he seemed oblivious to our table, never checking in to see if we were enjoying our meal or needed anything. As for the food, it was just okay—nothing remarkable. If anything, I would say the ambiance is what makes this place worth a visit, as it features lovely outdoor seating. Unfortunately, the treatment we received really put a damper on our experience. It felt like they did not appreciate the diversity of their customers, which was quite disappointing. Also, who serves soda in what seemed like a tiny cup? My husband loves having soda with his meal, but he was given a tiny glass that seemed barely enough for a single sip. He had to order two servings! If a drink is necessary, it should be served in a proper glass. I ordered spaghetti with mussels and white sauce, but when it arrived, it only contained spaghetti topped with mussels—no white sauce in sight. A clearer description like "spaghetti with mussels in a light sauce" would have set the right expectations. I can't recommend this restaurant, and we certainly won't be returning."

"We spent some time in the cozy room, but about 30 minutes into our meal, a table for 8 was seated at the table for 6 near us. It made it impossible for us to have a conversation. We left before ordering dessert. My partner and I are now reconsidering our reservation for Thanksgiving dinner, worried about a repeat of this experience. I was especially disappointed since I had chosen this restaurant. I understand there may not be much they can do about disruptive diners. On a positive note, my halibut was delicious."
