My spouse and I ate lunch at the River Grill on a Saturday
afternoon in mid-March 2016. We have dined at the River Grille many times since
it opened in 2003 (in the space previously occupied by the Sign of the
Carpenter store). The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner on Mondays
through Saturdays (closed Sundays). You can book a table via the Open Table
reservation system or by telephone. The sister restaurant to the River Grille
is Ocean, where we have enjoyed several excellent meals. Metered street parking
is available, or park in a nearby surface lot or in the city garage.
The River Grille has several areas in which to dine. At the
front of the restaurant is a dining room in which the windows can be opened in
nice weather. (This area can also function as a private event space.) The
middle portion of the building contains the bar area on one side and a few
booths for dining on the other side. The bar area includes a long wooden bar
with high-top bar tables arranged to one side. The rear of the restaurant
features the open kitchen with many tables in front of it. The décor features
light woods, neutral walls, a dark marble bar top, high ceilings, contemporary
paintings, and a stainless-steel kitchen.
The River Grille serves upscale American cuisine. On our
most recent lunch visit, we shared the chicken pizza as an appetizer (with
roasted red peppers and pesto), followed by the open-faced Reuben sandwich and
the Italian sandwich. Sandwiches come with your choice of French fries or a
small side salad; the side salad was particularly delicious. For dessert, we
shared the peanut butter bomb, which was tasty and not too sweet.
We enjoyed our lunch at the River Grille, and we look
forward to returning soon to try their dinner menu.
