One downside was learning that pets are not allowed inside--even though they don't serve food--which is always a bit of a letdown for us. That said, Luna was welcome on the outdoor patio... unfortunately, it was about 20 degrees outside. We didn't let the cold ruin the experience, though. They have patio heaters and warm drinks available, which helped a lot. We grabbed comfy outdoor chairs right next to the Christmas tree, and the setting was really nice, especially with the water view just steps away. It never got overly busy, but there was a steady flow of people coming and going, which gave it a relaxed, lively feel without being crowded. We both ordered the Hardywood Gingerbread Stout (9.2% ABV), which was their only holiday beer available at the time--they mentioned they had another seasonal option but had already sold out. The beer was pretty good, though definitely strong. We actually left to check out the only other bar in town, but it turned out to be closed, so we circled back to The River Room for another round. Two gingerbread stouts came out to $14 total which felt very reasonable. They do charge a small membership fee (around $1) since it's a private club, and we were told that fee goes toward animal conservation, which is a nice bonus. Overall, despite the cold and the indoor pet restriction, we really enjoyed the ambiance, holiday decor, and relaxed vibe--and would definitely stop back again when the weather is warmer.

Our waiter was very friendly, constantly checking on us and keeping our drinks refilled. We ordered the lettuce wraps, Korean BBQ wings, grilled shrimp, filet mignon, spare ribs, and crème brûlée. Everything had great taste and flavor. The Korean BBQ wings and grilled shrimp had a really nice kick to them. Our bill came to about $130 for all the food (we only drank water), which felt fair for the quality and amount we ordered. You should definitely give it a try--we'll definitely be back!

I was so excited to try this new spot, and it was such a let down…read more The space itself is nice! Love the layout and the exposed brick, and how there's an upstairs space. The service was fine but our server was frazzled. It seemed they were light staffed, and it took a while to get our order and our drinks (which we could see sitting in the well). The food- the appetizers- they were great! Would eat the shrimp, crab dip and Brussels again. Shrimp were perfectly cooked and seasoned, as were the Brussels. The entrees - not so much. Essentially everyone was eating raw, cold meat. Our one friend said the short rib was fine, but needed salt. Everyone else got some type of steak that was woefully underdone (as in we ordered medium, and got it flash seared). One friend described it as just chewy, raw meat. We also got a side of asparagus, and they were the saddest stalks I had ever seen - pale and mushy - and maybe 6 stalks for $8 - not worth it. After the food came, we couldn't find our server, but there was also a wedding party coming in to the upper space. Overall, I think they bit off more than they could chew that evening, and we were left chewing on undercooked meat and sad sides.

Great service and perhaps better than we would have gotten in regular seating. Had the Caprese salad and the Veggie Patch pizza. Both were great but next time we think we'll get a pizza with pepperoni or sausage. Other than the (too) large garlic chunks the veggie was missing just a little something. I wouldn't say it was bland but it just needed something more. Nice location in downtown Belmont with a true 'pizza place' vibe...I know, my grandfather owned a pizza place in NYC when I was growing up. We'll be back!

They don't have a kitchen so if you are looking for a glass of wine and a bite I wouldn't stop here! I love how they offer half pours for $6-$9 or so!

It's almost like a check-out and find a seat type of place (I'm not sure if that's 100% how it's designed since there was a party when I went, and I just sat at the bar) but it didn't seem like they had service at tables just at the bar itself. I didn't mind since I was only looking for a glass of wine anyways. Very much a vibe for $12 or so!

We got there a little before 9p and were immediately seated. The seats were comfortable and the ambiance was beautiful...down to the fresh flower display at the hostess table.

EVERYTHING was delicious! And I mean, EVERYTHING. Emma made sure we were good the entire time and not once did we feel like we were being rushed out. We were so excited that we chose this spot. To top it off, as we were leaving we got to chat with Theresa who was willing to capture this moment by giving us a full photo shoot. She was an entire vibe and we loved it!
