We had a fabulous pre-Father's Day dinner on Saturday night!! From the oysters and scotch eggs to the swordfish, lamb and pork chop (specials) the food was exceptional. The service is always outstanding!

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.

Yummy brussels sprouts. A great neighborhood place. Food ranges from good to very good. No big fan of music which was loud, but that was on us, as we came on a Thursday. Overall two thumbs up.

Superb from the second that I stepped in the door. The entire team at J&M all have that same great friendly quality that enhances your dining experience from beginning to end. The journey began with the Hamachi crudo, which in a word is phenomenal and has this unique and fantastic flavor profile. I continued with the filet mignon, which was cooked to perfection and accompanied by the yummy sides of pomme puree and creamed spinach. A shout out to the hand-crafted cocktails which are equally delicious. A special thanks to Annie!!
