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.

This is one of my "go-to" restaurants on the Pearl Street Mall areaThey have a short menu but a huge variety of meat, seafood and vegan options.

Service was slow. Waitress got order wrong, resulting in one entree being served 10 minutes after the others. Great location.

I had made a reservation for 7:30. It was my son's birthday. We also stayed at the River Crab hotel there . We were seated at 7:45 At 8:05 No one still had come to.our table. Had to ask for water and 8:15 a boy brought us water and said he would send over a waitress. 8:30 still no waitress Got up and told the hostess to please send a waitress. 8 :40 still no one. Every waitress passed out table like we were not even there. I.was so upset that we got up and left the restaurant and went somewhere else.to eat. There were 4 of us and my son's birthday was totally ruined!!!!!. I have never in my life treated so poorly at a restaurant. I will be sure to tell my friends of the horrible service we received. NO EXCUSE FOR THIS KIND OF SERVICE!!!!!!!!!

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.

We've been patrons of Riffs from the get go, but I've never written a review. We celebrated our anniversary there this evening and were once again so pleased. The food is absolutely delicious from start to finish. This evening, we had the roasted oysters as a starter, which were absolutely delicious. One of our standards are the Brussels sprouts with hazelnuts always hearty and wonderful. Everything is so tasty and balanced. I find it difficult to venture out from my tried and true dishes, but it's always worth it. The servers, King and Mackenzie, were wonderfully attentive without disturbing in the least. When they found out it was our anniversary, they offered us dessert on the house. These were also creative variations on beloved standards, a deconstructed cheesecake and an apple tart. It goes without saying that we will return again and again. Bravo tutti!

Amazing food! The portions are just the right size, delicious food and friendly wait staff. It’s true, the famous brussel sprouts are delicious, but so is everything I’ve ever eaten here!

Food was divine. Way better than expected. Every dish was perfectly presented with surprising additions. Waitstaff cheerful, smooth and never pushy. Had their famous Brussel sprouts, the smoked red trout and caramel chocolate dessert.

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.

We visited during restaurant week, where the menu was limited to the chef's selections. The choices were excellent and the fixed price was a great deal. The atmosphere was somewhat noisy and quite casual, which didn't quite match the overall pricing. Overall, we had a pleasant evening and enjoyed our meal.

The restaurant offers simple, high-quality food. However, there are limited vegetarian options available.
