River: A Waterfront Restaurant and Bar

"This was my second time visiting. The first time I went in October and this time I went in December. It was beautifully decorated in Polar Express theme. The meals and drinks were delicious, well seasoned and perfectly portioned. I recommend the calamari, the roasted chicken, veggie medley, and the garlic mashed potatoes. The eggnog crème bile was good too. My chocolate martini was creamy liqueur goodness. The manager, hosts, and waiters were all so pleasant."

"I happened to come across this restaurant as I was looking for a place to take my wife for her 54th Birthday. I couldn’t have been more pleased with this establishment. Our server, Alicia was AMAZING. She was attentive, super friendly and on point. She made our dining experience 5 star. Besides the service and atmosphere, the food was delicious. The Milanese pork chop and Parmesan Risotto were divine. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the Sea Scallop dish and Parmesan Risotto. Our BFF had the Salmon and that was awesome. All in all our experience was definitely more than I anticipated and the price, AMAZING. Thanks for the experience we will definitely be back to dine right by the River in Summer 2024."

"It's a decent place, has a very 90th vibe for some reason. If you go there when it's nice and sit near the river, I guess it would be worth it. The service was great, very attentive, the food was okay. We had mussels for an appetizer - I wouldn't get them again, very small and not great quality. The steaks were okay, not great but not horrible. We came on Sunday night, and were alone in the restaurant. Was it worth a $100+ bill? Probably not but it might be good for lunch."

"Title: A Rainy Day Turned Bright: A Memorable Luncheon at River I recently had the pleasure of attending an annual luncheon with a group of over 50 women at River, and despite the pouring rain that threatened to dampen our spirits, our experience was nothing short of magnificent. Upon arrival, we had expected to enjoy the breathtaking view of the beautiful Connecticut River from the tent, but Mother Nature had other plans. The rain was relentless, and by noon, we had already accumulated two inches with no signs of it letting up. Nevertheless, the staff at River promptly relocated us inside, ensuring our comfort and satisfaction throughout the event. What truly sets River apart, however, is its commitment to offering a memorable dining experience regardless of the weather. The establishment boasts a deck with heaters, a charming patio, and a spacious tented area, all of which still provided us with the opportunity to enjoy the picturesque river view. Even on a rainy day, the atmosphere remained warm and inviting. When it came time for lunch, we were delighted by the culinary offerings. The meal began with fresh salads and delectable bread, setting a high standard for what was to follow. The chicken and salmon dishes were nothing short of outstanding, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The only minor disappointment was the vegetarian option, which consisted of minimal vegetables and an abundance of pasta or gnocchi. While it wasn't what we expected, it certainly didn't overshadow the overall excellence of our dining experience. The service at River was exemplary throughout the luncheon. The staff members were attentive, friendly, and accommodating, ensuring that our large group felt well taken care of. Their professionalism and dedication to our satisfaction added to the overall enjoyment of our day. In conclusion, our annual luncheon at River was a resounding success, thanks in no small part to the restaurant's commitment to exceptional service and its stunning riverside setting. Despite the inclement weather, the establishment's amenities, including the heated patio and tent, provided us with the opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of the Connecticut River. The delicious food and top-notch service left a lasting impression on our group, and many of us are already planning to return for happy hour or dinner, eagerly anticipating the chance to savor more of what this remarkable restaurant has to offer."

"Wanted to have dinner by the water. Did a Google search and found this restaurant in my backyard. When you first get there, it looks like you're in the wrong place because it's in the back of an office building. There is plenty of parking and the entrance to the building in nice. There is a bar and 3 outside levels of dining area overlooking the river. There is ground, second and top level where you enter from. They also have inside dining as well as. The atmosphere was very nice and as it was getting dark, we noticed that the light shining on the tree was changing colors. The waitstaff by the name of Sam was very knowledgeable and helpful in helping us making our decisions on what to drink and eat. We both ordered the same thing but different sauces and were both satisfied with our order. The atmosphere was very nice as well. When we left, we took a walk on the ground level and it was nice. It's about a 5 minute drive on and off I-91. Overall great experience and will most likely good back."
