I'm happy to say that the River Street Cafe has consistently provided wonderful food and an atmosphere conducive to either small business dinners or intimate romantic couples. Reservations are a good idea, since they put on wait staff according to expected turnout of diners. On many occasions, I've found that drop-in dining works out for small groups without problems. The ambience is great, and I only have a few ""nit -picks"" about the food - for example, they have wonderful steaks and seafood, but typically only offer a mashed potato vegetable option. On occasion, some soups and dishes have been too salty for my wife's taste, but not for mine. The lack of a full bar is only a minor problem, since they usually have a nice selection of wines. I've been going to the River Street Cafe for many years, and I've been pleased with the experience. With a little additional effort, this restaurant could be great!
Pros: Really great steaks and seafood
Cons: limited vegetable selection, heavy on starches
