River Cafe truly excels in every aspect. The calamari appetizer was delightfully crispy and surprisingly light, setting an impressive standard for the main dishes. I particularly enjoyed the seafood risotto--it was wonderfully creamy and seasoned to perfection. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were both courteous and attentive. It's an ideal place for both everyday meals and special occasions.
Perfect ambience, food was amazing, service was excellent. We went for my birthday and absolutely recommended. We had a great time :)
Incredible service. Fantastic menu and view that can't be matched. Absolutely loved the specialty cocktails. This place is a gem. Don't forget your sports coat for the guys. Dress code enforced. I will definitely go out of my way to come back here the next time I am in New York.
The venue is beautiful & the service is impeccable. The three course price fix meals are to die for. It has been on my list to come here for a while and it was worth it. On a beautiful Sunday evening , the place was full with elegantly dressed diners. Old time glamour. The killer view . It's not an everyday thing as it's quite pricey but it's worth it.
Finally after watching so many movies of this place got to come last night. Hubby had to borrow a jacket since men MUST wear one . Jacket clashed with his Valentino shirt but it was worth it the service is impeccable our service new the menu and what he did not know he would ask the maitre D food was incredible! Wow my tartar was perfect . The amuse bouche was delicious and of course the view !!
Came here for an anniversary dinner. Food was delicious and the view was amazing. Service was initially slow but picked up throughout the night. Very quality restaurant and I'm glad I spent time here.
Just first class amazing experience, great and different delicious wine pairings with food. Service was efficient but not overwhelming. What can I say ... go you will not regret it.
Came for my 5 year anniversary with my boyfriend. We had an awesome time. We used the valet parking and just had to drive up to the front. As soon as we enter the left side is a bar/ lounge where live music is playing. Our view was beautiful and we had a view of the bridge, too bad it was a gloomy/ rainy day. The prefix menu was delicious, it's a 3 course menu and came with 2 extra courses. One for opening and one right before entree. Loved everything and the drinks! As we were leaving we saw a wedding being held and it looked like they were having a great time!
Only adding an update to include photos. We finally returned, years after our last visit, and our dining experience was even better than our last. Do they have a new chef? I thought our previous dinner was outstanding, so to us, they didn't need a new one! Or was it just a particularly good night? Don't know -- but what we do know is, we're glad we returned. The best decision we made was to save room for dessert. Photos attached. Absolutely worth it!
