East Rockaway

About the restaurant

In 1688, Joseph Haviland built a tidewater gristmill that provided the locally-grown grains to a nearby bakery that supplied farmers and tradesmen with bread. It was the first public oven in New York State. Haviland’s Old Grist Mill and the public bakery were community gathering places for two centuries.

Inspired by Joseph Haviland’s noble efforts, the Haviland Kitchen & Bar has been established for our neighbors. A place for our community to gather and share food and drink that are crafted of the finest in-season regional ingredients.

Table preference will try to be honored but can not be guaranteed.

Our first visit for lunch and it won’t be our last. The service was excellent and our server checked back often to see if we needed anything. We were never rushed and enjoyed a leisurely lunch. The lunch options were plentiful and reasonably priced. I opted for the garden salad and 1/2 chicken pesto sandwich which was delicious. The chicken was tender and flavorful and the tomato was juicy and fresh. My friend had the beet salad which she enjoyed. I definitely recommend going for lunch! The breakfast menu looks delicious and will be trying that soon!
