The River House

I came to The River House with a group of friends from out of town. We were catching the water taxi and had some time to kill; so we did what we normally do get DRINKS. Upon entering this establishment I noticed the summer locals who frequent often giving us the stink eye...yes I said it "the stink eye". I guess you could tell we weren't from around the area because we were a much more relaxed crew that wasn't dress to impress. It didn't bother me at all I was there to have fun and enjoy my evening. We ordered our first round of drinks by the back patio bar where the O's and Yankees were playing on some TVs. The bar service was great, quick, and satisfying. We then decided to take our drinks and move closer to the water and get a glimpse of the view. It is a great view I even got to catch a few fireworks going off for the post 4th of July celebrations.
I decided it was time to take a seat at the well constructed outside bar, boy is it beautiful the stone work the counter top and the lights, it really sets the mood for a fun summer night. A few of my friends and I had no problem at all getting a seat since we asked politely and still got stinky eye stares like we didn't belong. We finished our first drinks and ordered a second round with success even though the bar was pretty crowded. A few moment after enjoying a few sips of our drinks it was time to go the water taxi was on it's way, so we quickly finished our drinks, closed our tabs, and were on our way.
Although I didn't have a meal at The River House I was fond of the establishment itself, if I get a chance to come back I will be sure to try some of the food and write a worthy review that hopefully does not include the term "stink eye". I feel that the customers are the ones that may put a sour taste in some peoples mouths not the actual food. Until next time.

Tried this place 5 times in the last couple of months. We go in for happy hour at the bar which is advertised as everyday of the week. One bartender has waited on us on 2 Saturdays. Twice she charged us regular prices. We had to remind her of happy hour. She said she wasn't told. While the staff is great here the food is not. Have tried different things and the meals are served not as they are described on the menu. I have never gotten coleslaw with a sandwich or burger. My daughter orders sushi which she says is not very good. Shame. I think it's very possible I'll be seeing theses personable bartenders at another establishment before the summer begins.

Nice location, beautiful view and setting, but the food leaves much to be desired. Came here for a wedding, and everything was great except the food.
