What Maudie Effertz likes about Cool River Cafe:
Rare that better wine glasses are brought over with a good bottle of wine(not The Prisoner they were pushing). Our server was fantastic creating an excellent dining experience, other than pushing a sub par wine, but it is their job. View all feedback. What Adrien Kris doesn't like about Cool River Cafe:
So many let-downs on this trip. We were seated super close to the kitchen doors and then staff talked to each other over our booth/heads. Food issues: way over-salted food in several dishes, sauce on a filet that wasn't ordered that way, rare prime rib that a came very medium, service issues: no water refill, had to ask for our drinks that just took forever to come well after we had eaten our appetizer. I mentioned i... View all feedback.

I was here at company meals. The ambience of the restaurant is actually quite beautiful because it is not formal and has a casual feeling for it. You're...

Our server was great, I think his name was Antonio.

Visiting Cool River Cafe was a mixed experience for diners. While some encountered a lackluster dining experience with poorly seasoned dishes, slow service, and unfulfilled expectations, others raved about the incredible food quality and exceptional service they received. One customer was shocked to find a bug in their salad and received a less-than-satisfactory response from the staff. On the other hand, another customer enjoyed a delightful dinner of hickory smoked Prime Rib and fillet with impeccable service. The restaurant's inconsistent performance left some patrons questioning the value for the price paid, while others found the food to be excellent despite a few service hiccups. Ultimately, Cool River Cafe seems to offer a diverse range of dining experiences, making it a hit or miss for those looking for a memorable meal.
