It was dinner to meet my boyfriends family and we all had a great time. I've been there a few times in the past and I always leave happy and satisfied. The service last night was kind and attentive and the food delicious and got to the table on a smooth pace. Thank you so much for all the attentions and the complimentary dessert!

Outstanding dining experience shared with out of town family who were guests for the holiday season. The River Cafe did not disappoint. The menu offered a dazzling array of options for each course and given the large selection, we were a bit concerned about their ability to deliver… we were extremely happy and quite frankly blown away by each course. The food was of the best quality, presented beautifully and tasted absolutely DELICIOUS. Our only disappointment was the water service - it seems so silly but we had to ask NUMEROUS times for water and wait and wait for our glasses to be refilled. This seems like a minor detail but a major annoyance that can be readily corrected. One other troubling detail that surprised us was the lack of toilet tissue in the Ladies Room- it appeared that no staff attended to the bathroom during our three hour meal. We raise these two points in support of The River Cafe’s commitment to excellence. A warm thanks to the Chef and their team for a wonderful meal and lovey dining experience.

Dive had a really nice atmosphere and good music. The drinks were good on the happy hour special but the food was okay and there was not a big selection as some items were unavailable. Waiter/bartender was amazing. Nice vibe would go again.

All the dishes were delicious and the tasting menu is a good value for what you get! Plus FREE music from really talented musicians while you’re eating, and a nice drinks list (just wine-based cocktails, but they’re good!) I would definitely go back!
