The River Café Brooklyn Reviews from The Last Year
Celebrating at the River Cafe
Okay so let’s start with the location - the view is spectacular as you dine. The engagement as you enter is one where you feel special nothing is missed your time with them is their only consideration. The food was excellent each course rivalled the previous one with the chef’s complimentary courses exposing your visual senses as well as you palate to new sights and tastes. It’s fair to say that we chose River Cafe to celebrate three milestones Jen & Dave’s 70 birthdays and Catherine & Clinton’s 25 wedding anniversary both special occasions. The River is most definitely the place to do so. We had the opportunity to thank our chef who came out to meet us and shared other places to try whilst in New York. We were aware that the bill would be high but we felt that the food, atmosphere, location and attention of the knowledgeable staff reflected value for money. We will be back on our next visit to New York. Catherine, Clinton, Jen & Dave.
Great location, superb food but overpriced and a it dated
Fantastic location and a very memorable meal. The food was delicious, but they’re not scared to charge and overall I wouldn’t rush back based on how much our meal cost. All the staff were very attentive except for the older wine waiter, we were disappointed with his manner. He was extremely grumpy and serious and seemed a bit over serving us he also never advised us that we had half a bottle of wine left as we were coming to the end of the meal. I would have expected better for the cost of the meal.
Best of the best
Best of the best. Impeccable service with splendid views of the river and Brooklyn Bridge. Each course is a culinary delight and artwork in itself. Life piano music rounded out the dining experience. A perfect place for a memorable dining experience or special occasion. I love that everyone is dressed up as well.
It’s worth every single penny
From the view to the service. From the drinks to the food. I had a once in a lifetime experience with a super attentive and friendly sommelier and several greetings from the kitchen even though I sat alone on my window seat. The soft light and piano music rocked me gently to the amazing flavors exploding in my mouth. I would book it again and again. And I am well educated in french cuisine! But next time I‘d not order a lobster. That plate was a mistake. The rest nevertheless was wonderful! Food heaven!
Not so good as the price
When you go to a fancy restaurant you expect to have a delightful meal, some dishes were nice but the lobster wasn’t fresh and suppose that a qualified restaurant can’t commit such a mistake…
Wonderful Dinner Experience
My wife and I had dinner at the River Cafe in February 2024. I have lived within walking distance of the restaurant since 1985 and even went there for Sunday brunch back in the late 1980's (when they still served brunch). I had read reviews of the River Cafe over the years and the consensus back then was that the restaurant offered fantastic views of the East River and lower Manhattan (which it does) but the food was only so-so. Forget about those reviews. Our dinner there was fantastic. The River Cafe offers a three course prix fixe (fixed price) menu (which you can find on their website). Reservations are required and the dress code for men includes a suit jacket and a collared shirt. The people who waited on us were very professional and friendly - from our sommelier (wine steward) Alex to our wait captain Bernie. We enjoyed our appetizers of bay scallops and octopus and our main dishes of branzino and sea bass and finally our dessert of grapefuit souffle and the chcolate "Brooklyn Bridge." The food was unbelievably delicious and we were treated like royalty. Between the great food and service and the spectacular view, we are very much looking forward to our next visit there.
rushed service
This wasn’t our first experience of the river cafe we have been twice before and was always an amazing experience apart from this time. we were sat down and handed the menus had literally a min to pick what we wanted to eat and menus whipped away. we were then given an the Amuse-bouche which the waiter rushed to tell us what it was, no longer was our plates cleared the starter was on the table . it was like a conveyor belt so rushed no time between course, it’s as if they wanted you out as quick as possible i have never felt the way ever in any other restaurant i felt uncomfortable and anxious it was horrible. The food was ok not as good as it used to be will never be back which is a shame as it was always my favourite restaurant to go to in new york.
Nice moment for us
Nice place to be (to much noisy but it's a personal feeling). Everything was perfect for us. Good service level. A little bit overpriced compare to other "Star" Michelin restaurants.

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

How to list a Nobu Malibu reservation
Hi, I have a reservation to Nobu Malibu, but since they don't do text or e-mail confirmations I haven't been able to get my reservation posted. I have posted a screen shot of the phone conversation on the listing, but it keeps getting rejected. If anyone has an idea how I can get it approved that would be much appreciated, thanks!

I posted a request for a reservation this Thursday between 6:30 and 8 pm and initially the potential seller said it would be fulfilled by today. Now they changed it that they will only fulfill it by 5pm that same day. Basically I would have an hour and a half to get to the restaurant. Is this allowed?

Give the best answerApp
This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
