I feel like the menu was a catfish. The guacamole was disgusting and clearly from a bag. Ours was completely brown on the top and our chips were stale. I wish I took a picture. Our silverware napkins also were like dipped in red sauce before they came to our table, which was weird and gross. Also the menu online did not match what we expected. It was a cool location but would only go back if I wanted to drink bottled beer. We left and got our entrees another place and saw two other couples leave and eat elsewhere like us. I really don’t like reviewing but I just feel like overall bad and the servers did not care either.
I used to love River bar. The atmosphere and Frose were my fave but lately it’s not the same. The last two times I went the staff were rude and looked miserable. I went today cause I wanted to treat my friend to frozen cocktails and all we got were normal cocktails with LOTS of ice…. Not even the watermelon slush is slush anymore. I miss the old river bar and probably won’t be going back anytime soon which is a shame cause I love assembly row. (The pic I posted was there watermelon “slush”).
Way over priced for what they serve. Drinks are nothing great. Ordered chips and guacamole. 2 classic Margaritas or should I say glass of ice with some margarita flavor. Hubby got a beer and chips tasted like they came out of a Market Basket bag and the guacamole had a few tomatoes in it. Nothing great. Truffle fries were reg fries with a hint of truffle flavor. Tasted like frozen fries. No one came over to ask if we needed anything. We grabbed our own silverware and napkins from the bar. I had to flag down a wait staff for my second drink. Then again to get my bill from another waitstaff. He said I can run your card for you. I said can you give me a receipt with a breakdown. Not a total you’re reading off from a scanner (good lord I’m thinking). Def will NEVER go back. So many other fun places to go around there.def not worth a 60.00 bill!!!! Oh and when we asked for a check
This place took a turn for the worst. Been there ore-pandemic and enjoyed it. Now, service was nearly nonexistent, food was not better than what I can buy in a freezer at the grocery store and microwave. Atmosphere is still good so it gets 2 stars. If not for the outdoors it would have been 1 star.
Wait staff was great, bartenders are alright. A lot of rules like no standing at the bar????Planned a birthday party for my friend with a promise of a fire pit due to weather a few weeks in advance. Obviously due to the rating that promise was squashed. People were dressed for the fire pit so we had to leave with 15-20 people and try to find another place to accommodate…..
The staff is unbelievable they go above and beyond every time I go there! Staff is so accommodating and I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a cool spot to check out. They have outdoor fire pits that steal the show, the bruschetta is amazing and don’t forget about the cocktails. Anyone in the area looking for a cute place to stop by and check out, here’s your sign to do so.
The drinks and ambiance were great. The food was not so great. The service was a bit cold and lacking but the afternoon was warm. Won't really go back for seconds since there are so many nice places in that neighborhood.
What a fun place! First of all.... A cool and hoppin' area with fun shops, and great people watching. The ouside patio is super nice with a great view of the river. Here a young and funny staff- ready to help with a smile. The hostess was hilarious and was even helping the wait-staff since it was so busy. I tried the wings which were really great, truffle french fries were great too, and I also had a burger- cooked perfectly which these days is hard to find! We will definitely be going back. Oh yes- they had a very good selection of high quality alcohol and my mixed drink was very good.
Terrible for so many reasons. First, let’s start with the service. Simply awful. The staff borders on rude to simply bored to be there. The choice of dress - denim shorts and black tank tops or yoga pants with bra tops - so sloppy looking. To even get someone to serve you you need to flag them down like you’re landing a plane on a runway. I get it’s busy. But to not come back for a solid 30 minutes is unacceptable. The food - I love the ricotta dip but for $15 you get 4 sad little pieces of toast. Can they spare the bread? The nachos are a joke. A bunch of chips, Fritos thrown on and melted cheese, all for $16! It’s absurd. People will still go there regardless of this review, as it’s a trendy hot spot. But hopefully I’ve saved at least one person the headache.
Worst service. Been twice and both times the server takes forever to come over for drinks and take a food order. This weekend we waited 30 minutes until a server came up to take our order. We began ordering and she chooses then is a good time to tell us they were completely out of chicken because “her manager didn’t realize it was going to be busy”. It was a Friday. It would have been nice if she told us when we sat down. The food was okay, but I probably won’t be back.
