The River Mill View — Restaurant in Clinton

⚠️SHOCKED AND APPALLED – WORST DINING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. My father ordered the flounder and, after only a few bites, began choking on multiple small bones hidden in the fish. Thankfully he could still breathe, but it was a terrifying experience.

When we informed our waiter while my father was struggling (clearly breathing deeply and drinking a lot of water), instead of showing concern or offering help, he argued and said, “I’m sorry but it’s fish, what do you expect?” — a backhanded apology with zero empathy. When we asked for a manager, he arrogantly replied, “You can speak to me.”

There was no manager on site, and when we insisted on speaking to one over the phone, the waiter kept trying to take our number instead. We told him to call the manager while we were standing there, and he finally did — handing my mom his iphone. The manager repeated the same dismissive comments: “Fish have bones, that’s it.” No apology, no concern, no attempt to make things right. The waiter even raised his voice at my mother while she calmly explained what happened.

To make matters worse, they charged us full price for the meal. When questioned, the waiter said, “Well, I came by and asked how it was, and you did say good.”

For a restaurant that charges $25+ per plate, serves only bottled wine (no glass options), and barely offers any bread, the lack of professionalism and basic human decency was appalling. We left disturbed and deeply disappointed by how this...

My son and his friends ate lunch at this restaurant yesterday, Memorial Day - per my suggestion. They were told there were no french fries, only salad to accompany their sandwiches. They understood that but when they received their sandwiches, there was hardly any meat on what looked like slider buns or small potato rolls. They expected regular size sandwiches per the menu - and my son received two bun tops to add insult to injury. It was as if they were not prepared for the holiday and the food was just thrown together! Needless to say, my son and his friends made the best of it but they were very disappointed based on the cost. I realize it was a holiday, still no excuse if you are open to the public. I called to speak to the manager, Jerry, and he said he would call me back in ten minutes. I called him back one hour later. He said he was busy and he did not forget about me. I just called again today and there was a message saying, "My call is being screened by Smart Call Blocker", so my call was blocked! How absolutely atrocious! I have never experienced anything like this before! Clearly the people working there are not from this area. No one from Hunterdon County would treat customers that way. I will tell everyone I know not to patronize this restaurant. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL ! ! ! I would have given ZERO STARS, but Google will not allow a post...
