River Café - Brooklyn

We couldn?t have better things to say about this Brooklyn wedding venue. As wedding photographers at Megan Kenneth, this was hands down one of the best event experiences for the couple, guests, and vendors alike. The entire staff was attentive, warm, and professional. The food was exquisite with beautiful plating and flavor combinations. Their ceremony space was intimate and perfect for a micro-wedding in the heart of the city. With sweeping skyline views, the River Café is a truly unique and versatile Brooklyn wedding venue. We can?t wait to come back and photograph this gorgeous restaurant event space, from the inside, to the deck, to the perfectly manicured garden.

What an experience! From walking through a fairy light filled path, to the aesthetics of the decor and beautiful water front view. This place really left a mark. It felt like for a night we sat at an elegant European restaurant by the water. I don?t usually prefer small plate dining but my boyfriend wanted to go here for his 21st and the menu did not disappoint. Everything the chef brought in had exquisite flavor. We started off with complimentary plates from the chef. We each were allowed one appetizer, entree, and dessert. Even though the portions didn't seem as big as usual we left just close to full by dessert. Overall, we had a very romantic evening this place is worth every penny.

From arrival to leaving, amazing, staff were friendly, professional, and polite. The range of cocktails both with or without alcohol were amazing.... the menu.. well.. simply everything we had was succulent, vibrant, tasty and meticulously prepared, presented, and served. So so pleased we booked well in advance... thank you for a wonderful and memorable evening on my first, but will not the the last visit to NYC/River Cafe.

From my arrival to the end of the meal, the staff was amazing! So friendly, professional, and polite. The food is delicious and the presentation is top-tier. The amazing views are definitely another reason to dine here. I mean who doesn?t want to say they?ve basically fine dined under the Brooklyn bridge?! From birthdays to anniversaries, The River Café is a restaurant well worth a visit. Just be sure to book in advance, you?ll be thankful you did.

Wonderful service and delicious food! The timing of courses and drinks are impeccable! The nighttime scenery is beautiful at any time of year because the city is always lit. The lights on the grotto provide a romantic little walk. Walkway can be slippery when raining.
