Riverpark 450 East 29th Street, Manhattan, New York 10016

"Riverpark is a modern American restaurant situated right next to the East River. Floor-to-ceiling windows paired with beautiful contemporary design and breathtaking views, dinner is sure on the next level. Check your coats with their friendly staffs and have a seat by the window. Salmon mousse was served as an evening starter along with bread and butter. Riverpark’s cocktails are tasty and not watered down by using a legitimate big block of ice. Cheese and meat board is neatly organized with the right pairings. Shrimp cocktails are like jumbo prawns freshly caught and chilled then served on the table. Today, they have an appetizer special of hamachi crudo with sea urchin. So delicate and full of umami flavor. Ribeye for two is absolutely fantastic and it was what you expect in a modern American restaurant. Save room for their amazing delightful desserts and a small little surprise at the end of the meal."

"Riverpark is such a great place to have a relaxing meal right along the East River. We chose to sit outside and everything was delicious, light and fresh - lunch with some cold sangria and a beautiful river view with a cool breeze. The wait staff are friendly and super attentive (it's another super hot & humid day in NYC), they came by frequently to see if we needed anything and definitely took the time to make sure we stayed hydrated. I now know why Riverpark is a family favorite!"

"The menu was a play with Spanish and American Cuisine. The Aged Gouda on the Cheese plate was delicious. The Chef visited our table, and gave us two extras ox tail pastry and vanilla biscoti. The Roasted Mushrooms with Sherry Cream sauce was phenomenal. Highly recommend the roasted mushrooms. Ambiance was great and the view of the river is perfect for special occasions. If you're seeking Spanish fusion Fine Dining with a great view, this is the place. Very attentive service. Great place for a birthday celebration."

"Hidden gem on the East side near Bellevue. So glad they reopened after the COVID shutdown. Excellent cocktails and good food, well prepared with quality ingredients. The room is gorgeous and there is outdoor space overlooking the east river (if you can cope with noise from the FDR Drive, lol). The bread pudding was phenomenal."
