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.

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.

First time at establishment and was very impressed with the decor. All the help were very friendly and professional. The bar is VERY nice and the drinks were tasty. Dinner was very good we had a small issue of a burger undercooked but was immediately taken care of and manager comped a drink which was unexpected. The only thing I would like to see change is the martini glass be bigger and the pour for an old fashion was light in these type of establishments that’s what I usually expect for the price point. I will definitely return and recommend.
