"One of the most romantic restaurants in New York I’ve been coming here for years recently every Valentine’s Day. The service is impeccable and the food pricey but worth every penny the Wawa was spectacular. The big standout was the truffle ravioli. I had the Dover saw, and the Salmon gave a great suggestion of an affordable Montre Shea, which was delicious."

"The River Cafe is the most magical place in Brooklyn. I had my wedding there recently and cannot recommend it enough. My husband and I were married in the garden, which was so dreamy and felt like a little oasis within the city. The staff at the River Cafe truly provides white glove service from start to finish. The evening went flawlessly, the food was fantastic (some guests said it was the best meal of their life), and the ambiance is to die for. Thank you so much to Alyson, King, and the entire staff at the River Cafe for making my wedding day so special and perfect. If you are on the fence about getting married here, do it!"

"Are you looking for an elegant location in Brooklyn with a stunning view of Manhattan? This is your choice. The atmosphere is beautiful. The food on the menu is Michelin-star quality dishes. The River Café offers a dine-in experience or a dine-in experience for extravagant weddings. I recently had my sister’s wedding reception here and everything from the ceremony to the cake cutting was handled with care. It was a top-notch experience. The staff were very polite. The prices were high, and the high costs will bring you top-quality service and Michelin-starred dishes. I highly recommend you try this restaurant out."

"Definitely not worth it. I was very disappointed in this experience especially considering the steep price tag. The best part of going here was the entrance autumn decor and the sunset drive over Brooklyn bridge. We were seated at a rubbish table even though I had booked back in February and the restaurant wasn't fill at the time of reservation. So we had a horrible view of the back wall and the service station (I saw they did this to numerous young couples). If you have a yearning for the "experience" I would recommend you stop by the outside to take in the views of the exterior decorations and maybe pop in for a glass of wine at the bar, and then take yourself elsewhere for a decent meal and good service. Service is just meh, the food is not memorable or particularly well executed. The duck was very tender and so was the octopus. But the dishes as a whole were not tasty or good quality. The souffle was curdled and had scrambled eggs vibes and the cheap chocolate used on the bridge dessert made it pretty awful."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the most incredible anniversary dinner here and every detail exceeded our expectations. From the moment we sat down, the service was warm, attentive, and thoughtful — they made the evening feel truly special. The dishes were beautifully presented and full of flavor. The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and paired with rich, earthy accompaniments that elevated every bite. The side dish was creative and unique, adding a fun twist to the meal. The highlight was the anniversary dessert — a stunning presentation complete with a candle and a personalized chocolate message. It wasn’t just gorgeous to look at, it tasted absolutely divine, with the perfect balance of textures and flavors. This was fine dining at its very best: elegant, memorable, and delicious from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect way to celebrate 20 years together. Highly recommend for any special occasion"
