We recently purchased property in the area and we were looking for a place to have a nice dinner that wasn 't 'bar food '. We found it! Calamari was fresh and amazing and I even tried the escargot! Ourdinners, chicken carbonara and chicken parm, were homemade and you could taste the fresh ingredients. Can 't wait to go againand try something else!

The staff was quite pleasant, which is why I?m giving the experience two stars, but the food and overall atmosphere isincredibly underwhelming and disappointing despite the overpriced, over hyped menu. Would not recommend; you?re better offmaking a delicious, authentic risotto at home.

The food was absolutely delicious, the restaurant was more than clean, and the staff was very friendly. If I'm the area again I will definitely be eating at RiverValley Inn again.

I?m from Indiana and was just visiting for the week, but I would love somewhere like this near me. I was so surprised at how good everything was, I was expecting a small diner-feel to the food but it was plated and served beautifully!I?m surprise this isn?t a bigger place with food this good

The service was ok but they also include the gratuity in the bill which now brings it to almost $40 per person so the server is getting a large tip regardless of good service. I was completely disappointed. The regular menu looks good but after this experience I probably would not chance a second visit.
