Romantic

by EffieW

The service was very good.

Right by the water at night. This place is great.

In a restaurant like this we feel it is the little things such as remembering the order and who ordered which dish which makes the meal so seemless and all was without question here.

Great Restaurant

by evangeline

Unlike other upscale restaurants, the River Cafe has mastered creativity with taste.

The food was so delicious that even if they served it in paper plates I would stiil go back.

The presentation was exquisite of course but the taste was unbelievable.

The service was human. That is with a smile and pleasant conversation. No stiff uppity waiters.

And of course the ambiance, the view the comfortable environment.....unbeatable.

• Pros: great food

LOVE IT

by MikeCarrieNY

If you ever get a chance to visit brooklyn or to stop by you def. should. My husband took me here for our 5 year anniversity and i will never forget it. The views are soo beautiful and it is in a nice location.

The food we were served was delicious prices are reasonable. The only problem that i had was with the staff. My huband made a reservation but it still took them 15 min to seat us. Than the waiter was rude and it took him forver to take our order bring our drinks.

But waiters can change maybe he just had a bad day but it didnt matter if you have a bad day come here and just sit youll forget all about it

• Pros: beautiful views good food
• Cons: staff

Follow through wasn't what I expected

by Mzn

I called for my boss to make a reservation and the person taking the reservation never put it in the system. I'm sure the food is great but the staff of a business should represent the company and in today's economy everyone needs to accept when something goes wrong. I called them back and no attempt was made to ensure this doesn't happen in the future because I'm sure it has happened in the past. I just expected them to be more receptive to resolving customer complaints because no company is excluded from going bankrupt these days.

• Pros: Great Food
• Cons: Some staff below average but they represent the company

New York Treasure!

by AnnMcCormick1

After living in New York for many years, I had yet to experience one of this area's treasures.

The River Cafe. I had always heard that it was wonderful. Let me say that dining at The River Cafe was one of the most unforgettable evenings of my life. The view! The delicious food! Love that chocolate Brooklyn Bridge! The fabulous pianist! The attentive and friendly service! Was I in a movie or was this really happening? It was real. And It was just terrific!

Romance and Magic.

by harrisonpark

Coming to this restaurant is a great experience that everyone should enjoy at least once. It is a little bit off the beaten path, and is not inexpensive.

But you will not soon forget the things that this place is famous for. I was there for dinner in December, and just got the credit card bill today. Of all the things I spent good money on last month, dining at this place was the best deal in New York.

• Pros: Flowers and Romance galore

I guess I was hoping for more

by cynthiasofia00

Thisspot has amazing views and pretty good food. But, I didn't find the service to match the space. I got a GiftCert for my engagement party. It would have been a nicer experience if the staff were at all warm or friendly. Also, if the wait for food and drinks wasn't so very long. It was exciting to go to such a "nice" place and perhaps I was just expecting it to be better than it is.
