The River Crab restaurant seems to have received mixed reviews from customers. While some had a disappointing experience with long waits, substandard food, and poor service, others enjoyed exceptional service and above-average food. The outdoor setting, especially during special occasions like Valentine's Day or July 4th, was particularly praised. The atmosphere was described as a bit noisy but the wine selection and overall value were noted as positives. Overall, it appears that the River Crab's potential lies in its scenic views and attentive service, while food quality and consistency remain areas for improvement.

This charming little restaurant was a delightful discovery. My wife and sisters loved the squash soup, while I really enjoyed the linguine. My brother was a big fan of the Cubanos sandwich. We all appreciated the grilled bread and roasted cauliflower as well. The service was prompt and friendly. We'll definitely be returning! View all feedback.
What Tee G dislikes about Riff's Urban Fare:
"So, you know how it is when you're searching for a restaurant in an unfamiliar city? You hop onto Yelp and choose a place with 4 or 5 stars, hoping to find a good spot because being in a new area can be a bit daunting...".
I had a pleasant dining experience at this restaurant, but I do have a few minor complaints. The water was warm and despite my request for ice, I did not receive any. After returning home, I washed my hands twice in an attempt to remove the unpleasant odor, but the smell lingered.
We visited the restaurant during Restaurant Week, where the menu was restricted to a selection of dishes. It was a great decision and the fixed price was worth it. The atmosphere was a bit noisy and very informal, which was surprising given the overall pricing. Overall, we had a pleasant evening and enjoyed our meal.
It felt like they had an army of people refilling water and clearing plates, but we waited 20 minutes between when we ordered and getting our drinks. Then another 20 to order our food... then it seemed like it was 20 minutes between each course. The server dropped the dessert menu, then waited 15 minutes to come back and take the order. Our dinner was soooo long. I'd not have ordered three courses if I'd know how long it'd be between each one.
The food at this restaurant was fantastic, particularly the artic char which was outstanding and highly recommended. The mixed green salad was extremely fresh with a delicious dressing, and the salmon was nearly as good as the char. The baked apple dessert had good flavor but could have used a few more minutes in the oven. The restaurant offers a great wine selection and excellent service. The only downside was that it was a bit noisy due to all the hard surfaces.
I enjoyed my time at this restaurant, but I have some minor grievances. The water served was warm and despite requesting ice, it was not provided. Additionally, the soap in the restroom had a strong scent. I had to wash my hands twice upon returning home to remove the lingering smell.
