I wont recommend this restaurant to any friends and family. Rack of lamb for my main was cooked to perfection. Due to local restrictions, this restaurant may not be accepting reservations at the moment. Nestled under the Brooklyn Bridge with sweeping views of the New York skyline and the Statue of Liberty, this elegant restaurant has, since 1977, been a favorite destination for New Yorkers and visitors from around the world who demand the highest level of cuisine. Well, the most dependable high end dining in NYC...IMHO. For such a high-end restaurant, it's not pretentious, rather, it's a perfect balance of elegance, comfort and taste. Ooh. Our wine list is available online if you prefer to pre-order. Just fantastic from start to finish. Unforgettable experience. The lobster was beautifully presented as well. Quality night all around.

The employees are all wearing masks that compliment their attire. Very disappointed at their service. Still, it was fun to venture out to Brooklyn and I had a fun time.
Some reservations may require a small deposit. Food was delicious, service impeccable and ambiance beautiful. The prix-fixe three course dinner will be priced at $130 per person and feature your choice of appetizer and main course. Always an experience worth waiting for, the food is wonderful and the service is attentive, yet not pretentious. It never disappoints and always surprises you. The River Cafe does a set 3-course menu for $115 and a 6-course tasting menu for $145. Outstanding quality, service, and attention to detail.

Bookings can be made up to ten days in advance. Heaters were provided so we were comfortable at all times although the evening was chilly. I will never go back or recommend restaurant. Whether you are coming for dinner or a private party, be sure to leave some time to enjoy The River Café’s spectacular garden. Required fields are marked *.
Thanks! Tables will be available for reservations Tuesday through Sunday from 5:30pm to 9:00pm. The River Café's cobblestone entrance is beautiful but sometimes challenging for people to navigate on foot.
I chose something different and my husbands choice was upgraded. I've never said that to anyone at a restaurant before. Learn more.
The outdoor seating is warm under the heater which makes the whole experience even better. I definitely recommend dining early if you go to The River Cafe – it's a better view and you'll get to see the sun set!
Overall, I thought the meal was great but the service was disappointing.
