On the downside, some customers experienced long waits for tables and meals, as well as issues with overcooked food and distracted service. Overall, River seems to appeal to those seeking a unique dining experience with flavorful dishes and innovative cocktails.
Everything was spot on from the moment we walked through the door and enjoyed our craft, tap cocktail, to the outdoor seating, to the homemade s'mores and apple pie (crust is remarkable). Owners swung by to share insights into the seasonal items on the menu, even the local organic ketchup that accompanied the best crispy sweet potatoes I've ever had. Winner, winner in my book was the cougar gold cheddar mac and cheese, but of course each had their own vote duck wings, housemade marshmallows, scallops, and creamed kale were leaders.
From the vintage airstream to the first name calling by one if the best chef's in Denver. I feel tears for fears and get all must have a scone but what I really what to know is are those fungi picked every day? The bluemeal corn dog is better then any mid west or mid south fair aka carnie could ever render. The seamless staff has you wanting to order more and more. If I had the room I was going to have the Calamari streak. Smores looked great! Be nice or leave...
I might be so bold as to say this is the best restaurant in Boulder. Having now been for cocktails, dinner and brunch, every meal is incredible, they play with flavors really well to produce food that's fancy but homey and doesn't cross into pretentious. So good.
The atmosphere, the staff, the food, and drink are all fantastic. Whether you want great cocktails (the Beast of Bourbon is my favorite), or tasty locally sourced food, this is your place. Now that they are open for lunch, it's a win-win! I wish I could give 10 stars!
I waited for this place to open, it's only3 blocks from work! We sat on the patio and had scallops, salad, deviled eggs, and smashed sweet potatoes. And a great cab! We sat on the patio, it was slow but they had only been open a day, great food, the chef came and talked to us, we had a great time! Can't wait to go back and try the smores dessert and see what else they put out.
