When visiting New Smyrna and you want to check out a restaurant and have a great experience every one wants to tell you about the two spots almost next door to each other. And they are good but they are the most popular and fill up fast so the wait the tends to be un-reasonable and borderline on bearable. Dinner is not meant to be eaten that early just to avoid the crowds. At RT you CAN get a reservation and the staff is friendly, kind & attentive. I am the type to never order anything on the "Chef's special menu" but the ambience was so warm and inviting, I lost my head a little-bit. I'm glad we did we order the Crustini and it was next level. I thought I was eating on south beach for a moment. Flavors were intense, but not overpowering & it all complemented one another. If you are there make sure you try this appetizer. The bread for the Crustini was fresh not overly hard or stale. The main course I had was perfect. I had the steak au poivre. The sear on the meat was spot on and the sauce was not overly peppery. It let the steak do its job with the seared crust. Chefs veggies were good and the red bliss mash was velvet, smooth. The cocktails here also are amazing! I'm not just saying that my wife order something called the beatnik. You can taste the fresh beet juice. You can tell there was somebody back there pressing them freash. You know how beets usually stains your teeth? This did not! Overall fabulous experience. We even took our kids here and they had excellent choices for kids menu. Very happy over all. We did not try dessert. However we notice on the menu they support local dessert shops in the area with their offerings. Next time we go back we will definitely try them. I hope you found this helpful buen provecho everyone read more

Don't forget to make reservations! Service was fantastic! Went for dinner, everything we ordered was just delicious. They have indoor and outdoor seating, we made our reservations for indoor, so happy we did it was pouring so we really didn't get the opportunity to checkout the outdoors but it looked so inviting and romantic as well. Can't wait to go back for brunch which they do on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Mimosas are bottomless for $20! read more

We recently visited Riverpark Terrace and had an excellent dining experience! We asked Chef Andre' what she recommended and the results were amazing. The appetizer was salmon mousse tartletts (awesome!). Then she recommended the tuna steak with yellow rice, avocado, pickled cabbage and baba ganoush. What a fun dining experience with an amazing team! Thank you for the outstanding service! read more

There were six of us, and we wanted to eat outside - this was the perfect spot. Cocktails were just right - including a limoncello martini requested by my sister. We ordered two of the fried green tomatoes appetizers and they were easily the best I've ever tasted. Thick tomato slices, fried crispy, topped with corn salsa and ranch dressing - perfect! For dinner we had a mix of dishes - steak au poivre - medium rare and served with mashed potatoes. A burger with bacon, white cheddar cheese and hand cut fries. Truffle Mac & Cheese skillet. Filet tips with peppers and drizzle. A pear and goat cheese salad with grilled salmon. Pan-seared branzino topped with roasted peppers & eggplant and served over orzo. It was all so very yummy and cooked and served perfectly. We enjoyed a nice red wine and our friends opted for a nice chocolate dish. All left happy and extremely satisfied. read more

Both the Berry Bliss and the Echo under the sun were very good. The Berry Bliss is a sweet berry lemonade, but it doesn't taste like soda. The charcuterie board was amazing, combining many different flavors. Service is amazing, everyone is so nice and helpful. Inside is a very quiet, relaxing experience, while outside tends to be more people but sometimes live performances. Everything tastes very homemade. The Steak Au Pouvre was better than expected, perfectly seasoned and great quality. The pear and goat salad with grilled shrimp was amazing, the dressing was so good and the grilled shrimp was seasoned to perfection. read more

Everything here is just as wonderful as it was on opening day. I'm thrilled to say we've dined here many times, and it truly feels like a home away from home. When the staff remembers your anniversary--and even your favorite dishes--it creates a level of warmth and care that's hard to find. The view from the sidewalk overlooking the river is stunning, especially at night. The outdoor ambiance is beautiful, with soft lighting and thoughtfully arranged seating that feels intimate and private. And the food--wow, the food! Even something as simple as a salad is elevated into something memorable. We absolutely love this place. It's easily our number one spot in the NSB community we cherish so much. We've never once left disappointed, and we look forward to every return. . read more

It's been a few months since our last visit. We brought some friends here on this visit. Everything was as expected and hoped. We ordered the Mushrooms, cauliflower appetizers. Then we orders the Steak, salmon and burgers. Everything was very good. The weather was a bit chilly so we chose to be inside. They do have heat lamps and blankets. We could have been outside and be comfy. Oh well. We had a great time. The service was exceptional. The atmosphere is alway great here. It's beautiful and had a lot of character. A great locals place. Oh, and did I say the food is really good? Great for date night. read more

This is officially our new go to date night spot. The food was fantastic, the drinks were delicious, and our waitress Jen was wonderful! This is such a hidden gem with outdoor and indoor seating. The outdoor space had live music and is a fun place to hangout with the inside being more intimate and quiet. The pasta was so lemony and delicious with nice fresh scallops. The appetizer came with such a good amount of perfectly cooked steak. And normally we wouldn't go for a pork chop but it was amazing!! Our experience was 10/10 and we cannot wait to go back! read more

Wonderful atmosphere and good food and drinks! Good service and just a great overall experience!

Our second time dining here and we enjoyed it just as much! The service is excellent. The food is amazing! Everything we ordered was perfect! The pear & goat cheese salad is sooo good. You MUST get the roasted garlic Parmesan cauliflower! The chef's special braised beef was so tender and flavorful. We ended with a yummy whipped peanut butter pie to top it all off. Beautiful atmosphere and perfect dining experience. We need to come back when they have live music Thurs-Sun evenings. read more

Last night we came to town for the candlelight concert at the Bannon Center. River Park Terrace was right across the street and was the perfect place for dinner. The bartender made me my favorite drink " the Hugo spritz" and it was delicious. We ordered the carrot and brussels sprout appetizer which I could eat every day, it was gone! We also just had salads with protein, added - Caesar salad with salmon and yes, we ate every bite. We were out in plenty of time for the show. What a wonderful evening. read more

We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday just after noon. One waitress taking care of the diningroom tables. We asked for straws, which never came, so we went to the bar area to get them ourselves. Perhaps because we were a table of 2 the larger tables seemed to take presidence over us. Anyway, we ordered the Terrace lunch burger and the Fried Green Tomato BLT and a side salad. Waitress never asked if we wanted the side salad brought out first or how we'd prefer the burger cooked ane we never caught her attention to request. So, the salad came out with the BLT and the burger was overcooked for our taste. We noticed the burger delivered at the table of 4 next to us and it was obviously served more medium rare. No one asked how our meals were so we never had the opportunity to say anything. Anyway, it's a cute establishment a bit off the beaten trail. Perhaps we just caught them on an off day as we found them based on other diners glowing reviews. read more

An absolute gem. the meatball skillet and Korean beef were exceptional . Don't miss it. To say nothing of the service thank you Jennifer you were outstanding! read more

Had reservation and wait staff set us in sun to wait. No one at restaurant and then started to seat parties while ignoring us. If this is level of service glad we left and ate elsewhere. Service at 2nd place was outstanding. Waiting 20 minutes for a reservation at service start time is unacceptable. read more

We couldn't love this sweet charming little gem anymore then we actually do We walked in off the street to live music and laughter.. we already knew it would be fun! The friendly service and food made our experience even better. Sunday afternoon's get pretty busy. However, it is soooo worth it. In addition to the great fun outdoor space they have a gorgeous dining room inside. I loved my bacon cheese burger with fresh fruit. Super dog friendly. When you go, show up with a smile, you will get plenty in return. read more

If you're expecting anything less than five stars you obviously have not read any of my prior reviews of River Park terrace. We made reservations for Mother's Day and as always it did not disappoint. Although I made a mistake of making a reservation for later on in the day and we missed some of the great performance from Anique Jolie. As always the flavors the dishes the service temperature everything was spot-on, as if they ordered it special just for us. read more

Located as a meet way point between St. Augustine and Orlando, we decided to dine at this establishment For appetizers we had the mussels, they did not disappoint, its harder than you think to get great mussels in florida. The Sweet Tea Pork Chop: A Revelation!** The **Sweet Tea Pork Chop**--oh, so yummy on my taste buds! Tender, juicy, and infused with a subtle sweetness, it redefined my pork chop expectations. Best pork chop in florida. Mac 'n' Cheese: A Cheesy Dilemma, it was made with larger past Alas, the **mac 'n' cheese** didn't quite steal the spotlight. The pasta--oh, the pasta!--was colossal, they use rigatoni, its different but flavor-wise, it tiptoed into "just alright" territory. My wife ordered the salad with salmon on top, it was great. ** Pesto Chicken Thighs and Steak au Poivre: A Carnivore's Paradise** Both dishes were perfectly seasoned and seared. The chicken was tender, and the steak--they remarked --was very flavorful. ** The Curious Case of the Cauliflower** Now, let's address the **cauliflower**. It masqueraded as gluten-free, but my keen eyes spotted that with the bread crumbs it could not be. A gluten-free impostor, it was! Thankfully, my wife and our guests remained unscathed. The kitchen did not seem to have it together on whether this was GF or not. ** Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie: A Sweet Finale** Velvety, rich, and filling. A fitting finale to our gastronomic escapade. **‍ Our Attentive Guide: Waitress Jamie** Kudos to our waitress, **Jamie**! She moved quickly between tables, ensuring our glasses stayed full and our smiles wider. Customer service? She aced it. Bravo, Jamie! As we stepped out, full, we vowed to return. read more

One of the best restaurants in the area. Craft cocktails, gourmet menu and a beautiful ambiance.

Not a great experience . The waitress was MIA after forgetting my drink and then we waited forever for the check . Actually no one knew who our server was . The butternut squash ravioli had very little ravioli but a lot of disgusting looking mushrooms . Not good read more

By far, one of our new favorites in new Smyrna. It is a hidden gem! The service was phenomenal! Teresa or waitress was on the ball! Our food was mine blowingly good. I have nothing bad to say about this place. We sat outside and there were fans that created the perfect temperature. The bathrooms are clean and the inside was popping with people. The live music was just the right volume, not too loud! The singer did a great job! If you ever go, you need to try the gluten-free brownie. It was absolutely to die for. Everything was reasonably priced and there is happy hour 4-6 on Friday's. We will definitely be coming here for a girls night again! 10/10 recommend. read more

The Margarita was great. Also had Onion soup that was so tasty. Our waitress Theresa, was pleasant and very knowledgeable. I can't say enough about the outdoor terrace ! It's fun and West Palm Beachy. They had duck and enjoyed it totally. Had filet. My advice is if you order medium, the center is rare. I would now order medium well. read more

We went to Riverpark Terrace for dinner one of the evenings we were in New Smyrna Beach. They welcomed our dog. We had a wonderful waitress that offered us blankets while we ate on the windy, chilly night. Our burgers were tasty. They were a tad overcooked, but that may have been because we ordered them "medium". They were delicious. We were able to walk our dog at the park across the street. Perfect service, food and location! read more

Parking is plentiful as this is off the beaten path. The ambience is very charming. There's live music, string lights outside, a pleasant hostess and waiters that want to talk to you, if you'd like. They were unfortunately out of the lamb brisket, which I was excited to try. However, we did have the steak which was perfect. For apps we ordered the Brussel sprout but bacon jam on the side and they were dry. So I suggest skip it The buratta didn't disappoint. The mussels were fine nothing to write home about but luckily they were not sandy. The bread was really good and we ate a bunch of it. The chicken fingers and fries for kids were ok. The Mac n cheese was a legit plate no mini portions. The whiskey drink with egg whites was good. The tuna was ok fresh but not impressed. The place is much bigger than it looks from the pictures. If your around and want a nice ambiance go for it. Also they accommodated a fairly large party without reservations and with much kindness to tiny people running amock so extra kudos to them for that. read more

WHAT A GEM! Seriously - I'm so grateful that we were in town and had the opportunity to enjoy dinner here. We came in to town for a single evening and decided to spend our dinner here based on a referral from a friend. What a CUTE spot and so sneakily good. It had just stormed so there were no groups seated outside, but next time if the weather is nice I'd like to enjoy our meal out on the patio. It was a really cool area and such a fun vibe out there. They were pretty busy and I'm glad we had a reservation! We had a drink at the bar while we waited for our table - which didn't take long. Everyone was super nice - including the other guests - and we felt right at home. Indoors is a little smaller but broken out with a little covered patio and then a true dining space - it felt almost like grandma's house (but bigger). Our server was phenomenal - extremely attentive, gave great suggestions and came by often enough for us to be taken care of without it being too much. Appetizers and dinner were AMAZING. Truly amazing. We stuffed our faces and I'd do it all over again. When we ordered the bread, we thought there was no way that we'd finish it... but don't worry - it was GONE in a flash. Super fresh ciabatta and a great bite with the pesto rosso. Mozzarella fritta - a better version of mozzarella sticks - was to die for. We devoured them as soon as they hit the table and I would have ordered another round if we didn't have huge entrees on the way. Steak au poivre and coconut curry were our dinners - we loved them both. Very happy with the flavors in the dishes and the overall textures. Don't worry, we didn't have anything leftover. For dessert - we were going to skip it - but we saw a chocolate dish go by that my husband was intrigued enough that we had to order. I'm so glad that we did because it was such a beautiful, rich and decadent dessert. It was a chocolate and oreo cheesecake that was one of the best I've ever had. Trying to find another excuse to go to NSB to visit again so we can feast here...... read more

We had heard about this place but had never been. As locals, we like to support small businesses. The brunch menu is not very large; however it is filled with sweet and savory to accommodate all tastes. My wife had the Fried Green Tomato BLT, which was served on jalapeño sourdough. Very, very good. I had some over easy eggs and sausage to go along with an order of French Toast. Outstanding! Super impressed with this great little place! read more

Love the steak at Riverpark Terrace. The Brussels Sprouts appetizer is so good, with the maple and bacon! Yum! I have been seated in both rooms and outside when there has been music and when there hasn't been. Always enjoyable but I prefer outside. The service has always been excellent and I would say I have eaten there at least 8 times. Their Sunday brunch is excellent as well. read more

The fish special on a Friday night was simply great and shared between two. The service was attentive and the place was eclectic.

Great dinner location for a romantic getaway. They have a wide selection of fine wines. The servers are professional and graceful. The nighttime lighting outdoor on the patio has a beautiful view. They also have brunch! read more

Not sure how you know that I went there, but I had the lamb appetizer as my meal and I'm telling you what it was the most delicious perfectly cooked lamb with the goat cheese please don't ever take that off the menu it was spectacular! I talked about it for two days! My friend enjoyed his meal as well he had some kind of steak I can't remember but the lamb was delicious a little pricey for an appetizer but considering I had as my meal I will go get that again for sure! read more

we had not been to this restaurant before it looked lovely, the atmosphere is truly lovely. The menu is a little strange. We got there at about 710. There were empty tables. It wasn't crazy busy it took 45 minutes to get our food when my husband finally got his linguine with clams, he got a big bite of sand. One bite mouthful of sand told the waitress he did not want it. She took it did not ask if we wanted anything else when the manager came over she said I'll give you a discount on that meal ! Are you kidding? My husband said I'm not paying for it. Eventually, they took both meals often and we charged us for drinks. read more

We are annual visitors to NSB and usually stick to our favorite familiar restaurants but this year we determined to branch out and try new places and this is a gem of a place. Jamie waited on us and was an excellent waitress- friendly and attentive. We sat outside in the patio area which has a lovely ambiance of its own. We started with the ciabatta bread and shared the pear & goat cheese salad - both were excellent. I had the BBQ boneless chicken thighs with a sweet Korean sauce and a creamy orzo, my husband chose the steak au poivre which had a creamy cognac and peppercorn sauce, French mashed potatoes and stir fried green beans. Both were outstanding! We finished off with the sharing of the carrot cake! This is a wonderful place for dinner and we have now placed it on our list of places to return to next year! Thank you for a great evening! read more
