Located at 437 East Main Street in Centerport, the Mill Pond House is known for its spectacular water views, fine American cuisine, award-winning wine list and outstanding service. Once home to the Mill Pond Inn, this 100-year-old building has been a restaurant since the 1920s, where guests enjoyed great meals and shared drinks around the piano bar. Since then the Mill Pond House has changed hands many times, with the current owners serving patrons since 2004. The restaurant was completely renovated, creating an upscale atmosphere of elegance and comfort. Each table has white tablecloths and black cloth napkins, with tall, tapered candles casting a soft glow. The bar now has an upright piano and there’s banquette seating along one wall. The dining room features beautiful red wall sconces, beige sponge-painted walls and large framed mirrors, while the panoramic windows reveal breathtaking water views of Mill Pond, where swans quietly swim. And for even better unobstructed views of the pond visit the upstairs twin dining room. During the warm months guests can enjoy the large, outdoor patio with umbrella tables – a perfect spot for drinks and appetizers in the evening.
Mill Pond House is not just a steakhouse - Chef Brian Schlitt has paired with Sushi Chef Ching Sheng Li in creating a wide selection of Continental dishes and the freshest and innovative sushi around. If you like seafood, you'll enjoy the raw bar, which includes a jumbo shrimp cocktail and Little Neck clams. In the mood for something decadent? Then try some caviar like American paddlefish caviar and Iranian Osetra. Other popular among patrons dishes include Clam Chowder, Lobster Bisque, Caesar Salad, Crab-Meat Cocktail, Shrimp Cocktail, Linguine with White Clam Sauce, Hash Browns, Onion Rings, Creamed Spinach, Porterhouse For Two, Sirloin, Rib Eye, Pork Chop, Lamb Chops and French Fries. The waterside tiki-bar is the main event of the day, featuring frozen drinks, full menu and unforgettable views - the best Long Island has to offer.
Recognized by AOL City Guide as the best outside dining on Long Island for 2007, and rated 23 for food, 23 for decor, and 22 for service by the 2007 Zagat Restaurant Survey, the Mill Pond House offers the perfect waterfront setting for any occasion. Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner for two or a fun gathering for family and friends, this restaurant will not only meet but exceed all your expectations.
