Just down the street from The National hotel, we stopped in for a cocktail before dinner. Like the…read moretown, the bar which appears to have been open in some capacity or another since the early 1900s, has the old back bar and a cool tin ceiling. There's some odd art on the wall that doesn't at all match the vibe but don't let that deter you. Bartenders were super friendly. The cocktail list was more extensive and sophisticated than I expected. And while there wasn't live music at the time, there's clearly a stage for music, which I'm sure is fun. Definitely worth a visit when you need a refreshing beverage.

As others mentioned, service is kind of slow, but both nights we were there had live music and it was pretty busy, so slower service is understandable. The live music both nights was very good, each night being a different genre of music. After a certain time, they were charging a $10 "donation" (cover) to get in. Overall, we had a good time here and would stop in again when in town.

Our compliments to the kitchen for whipping up these tasteful treats. Every dish has a unique and delightful flavor profile, keeping you riding through a culinary adventure Everything we ordered was delicious. Really enjoyed that many of these dishes had a fusion of flavors: - Samosas - Coconut shrimp - Pastry wrapped asparagus - pork belly - tuna carpaccio - meatballs - Mediterranean tacos - sticky toffee cake It's so hard to choose favorites, cuz they all feel like favorites, but some standouts for me were the samosas, PorkBelly, the pastry wrapped asparagus, and the sticky toffee cake. The service was stellar! Our server, Grace, gave us a warm welcome and made us feel right at home. She checked in on us and made sure we were well taken care of. She also had some really great recommendations on plates to try. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant is really nice. The plates were beautiful, and the area we were sitting at (in the back) felt intimate and had a very nice sky light providing natural light where we dined. The location is great, just off the Main Street. There's lots of cute shops and restaurants around the area. It's super walkable and just a great place to hang. Thank you everyone at The River, we can't wait to be back!

He wouldn't even make eye contact and blew right past me to serve a white guy who had just walked up to my right. When he finally looked back over, he looked right past me again to my wife. She literally had to point at me and tell him, "He's the one ordering." ​While we were sitting at the bar (had to move because the overhead fans create a ridiculous wind tunnel at the tables), a Hispanic guy walked in. He was in a great mood, carrying a bag no bigger than a small basketball. The bartender immediately stopped him and said he couldn't have the bag in there, basically refusing to serve him. Since the guy was alone, he just left. ​It was a terrible look. Between getting blatantly ignored while standing right in front of the guy and watching how he treated the next customer, the bias here was obvious. If you aren't the right demographic, don't expect decent service.

It wasn't necessary, the place was not yet filling up. We got a lovely and shady table outside, and were promptly provided with menus and water. Took a few moments to decide what we wanted, and our server was prompt and helpful in taking our requests. The main reason we went to this place was to get the chicken tenders from the starters menu for my husband. Sadly, they were out of chicken tenders! He regrouped and requested one of the burgers with added bacon, and successfully asked for the soup of the day (chorizo corn chowder) as his side dish. They don't usually do that, but made an exception in his case. I also went for the starters menu and chose the shrimp brochettes (wrapped in bacon) and a side of potato salad. To drink, he got a nitro Scottish ale, and I got a glass of the house chardonnay. Everything was very tasty. We really enjoyed the setting, as well as the yummy food, and two charming dogs at other tables. We will be back for sure!
