Pretentious waiter and poor value make this absolutely beautiful establishment an ultimate disappointment. Waiters are intrusive, the staff did not mention jackets were required, even after confirming our reservation twice and the Maitre gave one of the women in our party second looks upon entrance. Very poor value. more

We ate there on June 5th for my wife's 60th birthday. From the moment we arrived to when we left the service we received was exemplary. They had noted our request for a nice table, which we received and we thought this a really good touch on a very busy Friday night. Our food was outstanding in terms of flavours,... more

Dined here 6th June 2009. We were about half an hour late for our booking, but staff did not seem to mind. That set the tone for the rest of the evening, staff were absolutely brilliant, in particular our waiter, Tom, who was efficient and attentive, pleasant and helpful. We were celebrating a 50th birthday and treated so well from... more

I'd heard about the River Cafe from reviews and top 10 sites whilst researching our holiday so thought it would be nice to splash out on one nice meal. I ideally wanted it for Valentine's night but could only ring up and being in the UK made it difficult so booked via www.opentable.com for the Saturday night. We were told... more

This restaurant has a lovely view - but terrible service and attitude from the manager down. They have so many tourists going through (plus oligatory 20% service added to all bills) that they don't really care how they treat you. We went for lunch - arrived at 2.30pm when service stopped at 3pm. There are three lines of tables placed... more

Booked this place on the back of a D&K "Top 10" rating for romantic restaurants in and around New York. We visited on a warm evening and could only get an early table which worked brilliantly as we were able to walk back to Manhattan across Brooklyn Bridge at twilight after the meal. From the restaurant you view the Bridge... more

Seven of us went to dinner at the River Café. The men had to wear jackets, but this was not news to us. What was an insult is that once seated, the men could not take their jackets off and put them behind their chair. It was a muggy evening and we had just arrived from California. The waiter saying... more

The Rivercafe in Brooklyn, One of the most talked about restaurant in New York/Brooklyn.

It is a 5 star restaurant located on the banks of the hudson river in Brooklyn. You are greeted by the matreodee who offers you... more

My husband and I went here for our first wedding anniversary and loved it. Yes it is expensive but it is relative to what you get included and we felt worthwhile. For $100 per head you get five courses and this is the sort of food you would expect Ramsey to dish up at Claridges! We loved everything about this... more
