River Cafe & Bar

I've known since before Loon. Your food is just remarkably outstanding. I'm Elmwood Parker since September 1951. I know good Italian food. And you are! Kid-friendliness: Services for kids very helpful.

I actually have overwhelmingly enjoyed River Cafe going back to the previous owner when it was The Loon. Yes I am older but still feel comfortable here. I'm an infrequent visitor these days but continue to enjoy food, drink and company here whenever I can. The owner once heard that I had requested a new glass of wine because it tasted stale. He apologized immediately then before throwing that bottle of wine out he took a swig and grimaced saying "that's awful'. We had a good laugh and he insisted on giving me a very generous pour replacement on the house. Very cool guy in my book. Bottom line, ignore my one star rating because the food and drink are all fantastic. I was just disappointed this past Friday night as I stopped only for a nightcap after working my part time job. Two glasses of wine and a $3 tip later, just before closing, the young lady with black hair returned my credit card by throwing it on the floor while I was texting on my phone. I saw what happened and was baffled but I figured my tip was not too appreciated (if so I apologize) but I did not say anything, I just left. I'm sure the owner would not have approved of her actions and I hope she hasn't offended other irregular regulars. Still love the place, I'll just avoid her on Friday nights.
