River Cafe

The best decision we made for our wedding was booking with River cafe. The planning process with them even during the covid19 pandemic was fantastic! June and the team went above and beyond, and helped us with some of our personal requests which they carried out perfectly. The venue is a beautiful location for any private and intimate event. The staff & experience at river cafe on the night of the wedding was amazing. Everything was on time & handled expectionally. They had more than enough staff to make sure a full venue with plated dinner was served within a few minutes after the head table. They kept in constant communication with us throughout the night and went above and beyond to make sure we were having a night we could never forget. The quality of food and drinks were fantastic! Everything was truly perfect. Even now we still have our family and friends rave about how amazing and how much they enjoyed the food, staff and atmosphere of river cafe. If we could give above 5 stars for our review we would. Thank you to the team at River cafe for making the most important day of our lives so special to us!!

Delicious food, impeccable service, wonderful all round experience. Cozy and inviting atmosphere, waitress was attentive without being overbearing. The oysters were some of the best I've ever had, octopus salad was delicious though I would have liked it a little lighter on the sauce to be able to taste the octopus more. Meat dishes were cooked perfectly with well though out accompaniments. Left feeling warm, satisfied and relaxed.

Location is beautiful and the service was quite quick. They sit 3 people at a 2 person table which is tight. Ordered the pastry trio but they forgot to bring out the jam and butter. Unfortunately my cutlery had lip stick stains on it. Presentation of the food is not impressive; however, the eggs Benedict was delicious. Overall, I feel like River Cafe is a hit or miss based on the season.

We went for Sunday brunch . We ordered smoked salmon sandwiches and several other dishes . Everything fast great . All dishes were presented well and taste great . We also tried dessert . It was tasty to. The menu has variety Great staff and amazing ambience . A perfect place to enjoy some nature while dining . Its located perfectly in the Prince Island Park. There is quite a distance to walk. So.for.those who have mobility issues , visiting here will be challenging . The closest entrance to the restaurant is the Eue Clair Market

Food was good. Service was not up to expectations at all.The server we had was slow and inattentive. One example, we ordered desserts to share. She didn’t bring side plates and we have to request twice😱 also she made an unfriendly comments at the end. It made all of us very uncomfortable. Dining experience not just about food quality, atmosphere, it should be a full package to make it a great night——service plays a big part of it.

Had a great experience at River Cafe! It is a place definitely worth considering especially when looking to celebrate an important event or occasion. We had the tasting menu ($110 per person) and they did an excellent job with the flavors of each of the 6 courses. Some aspects such as the broccoli puree with the arctic char were on the slightly saltier side. Presentations/plating was pretty and pleasing to look at. The patio views are beautiful and the ambience is just relaxing! It is a place to come back for a drink to just chat and enjoy the sights on another day!

We enjoyed the experience in River Café, the food was delicious (a bit costly), but for the celebration or some occasion you would pay for it, cause it is really worth it. We had lamb and tenderloin and it was phenomenal, staff was attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was also great and Iike the location of this restaurant. Not that busy for Friday evening, so not too much busy and the server paid attention to us just nicely. 🍗🥩🍽🍸
