River: A Waterfront Restaurant and Bar

First timer... ambiance ✅️, service ✅️, drinks ✅️ and food ✅️. The view is amazing. I visited on the 4th of July and let me tell you, the breeze... perfect. The restaurant is inside of what looks like a commercial building, so don't be alarmed. There is plenty of parking and comfortable seating. I sat on the mid-level deck slightly put off by the table being the same height as the upper-levels floor. I was literally foot and butter level with folks. Possibly adding glass or plexiglass would be a little better. See the pics, so you can see what I mean. The food was absolutely delicious. The portions are perfect for the price points. Definitely a great spot for date night or a first date or just the place to wind down.

This is definitely a hidden gem! Its within a business building which seems a little different from the usual restaurant setting. We entered this place thinking we were under dressed because it's so beautiful inside but no, you can definitely dress comfortably with all other customers dressed the same and not feel out of place. The food!?!?! Is to die for...I got the Braised Short Ribs 🤤🤤 This tasted as if it were home cooked. Gravy and mashed potatoes were so savory! The ribs were so tender. My husband’s fish and chips were also great (and he's a super picky eater). The good sized peice of fish along with the batter was seasoned nicely and was nice and crispy. Fries were great too. Ive attached pics here of the view and food. The dessert was yummy as well. We got the cannoli cake and the chocolate caramel cake. They were so good. Our appetizers were the maple smoked bacon and steak skewers which was a wonderful start to this A+ meal. Forgot to get a pic of these but just know, they didnt last long at our table lol The food here was so good that we didn't want to leave. Our server Thomas M. was THE BEST!!! He went above and beyond to ask if the kitchen would make my meal although it was a little too early for a dinner entree. He also asked if the bar could make my drink a little spicier, to my liking. He was GREAT! Hope we have him again next time we visit. We can't wait to go back. Also, the view over looks the CT River. There's plenty of outdoor and indoor seating that share the view. We also noticed that they have plenty of large outdoor heating lamps strategically placed so this place would be a great dining option during slightly cooler nights. Love it here! Will definitely be returning!!!!!

We happened to be in town overnight and I chose this restaurant based off of the fact that it was on the river. What a great choice I made! We celebrated my daughter's birthday that night. The food was excellent as well as the view. Our waitress Bri was super nice. I would definitely go back again.

2 words, Seafood Linguine. 1 word, perfection!! Just left the restaurant not too long ago. 5 stars for me. One of my favorites for sure. Although a couple menu options had run out, it was a great time overall. Appreciated the check ins from the waitress (Haley), other staff, and one of the owners. Made it felt extra special for me and my significant other on our late valentines day celebration. Keep up the great work! Will be returning for future visits as well as bringing along more people with me!
