My first time ever trying The River Cafe and I must say I was not happy. I wasn't displeased, I just wasn't completely satisfied. The restaurant itself is beautiful, love the setting a definite 5 stars. The service started off so great, our server was helpful and informational but then he sort of stop coming by and I hate having to flag down servers when you need them. So for service I would say 3, I couldn't help but feel like the people that work there are too good to serve you. And for the food I would have to give them 2.5 stars. The main reasons are the food is way overpriced, just way way overpriced. I waited an hour for my entree dish and then when you get it your just expecting something spectacular, a burst of flavour and awesomeness in your mouth. And I did not get that at all. I've have better at cheaper prices. The River Cafe, a good place to try at least once, definitely. But once is good enough.
