Contribute FeedbackRiver Road American Bistro offers a mixed dining experience with inconsistent reviews. Some diners reported slow service, bland food, and burnt dishes, while others praised the creative cocktails and outstanding meals. The ambiance is described as warm and inviting, but the noise level could be improved. Overall, the restaurant shows promise with a lovely front patio and friendly service, but there are opportunities for growth in terms of food quality and consistency. Despite some hiccups, many diners are recommending River Road for its potential and pleasant atmosphere.
Had an amazing meal here. Creative cocktails that were out of this world. We were a little slow making our dinner selections but the server couldn't be nicer and more patient. Food was outstanding. Perhaps the best pork chop I have had in five years. Décor is really hip, warm and welcoming. Excellent looking bar in the center of the room makes a very cool statement. Highly recommend. We will be back
Nice outdoor garden seating and nice ambience. Great food and drink at reasonable prices
The front patio is a lovely place to dine. The service is excellent. But.....the food has room for improvement. The salmon was overcooked, and the crab cakes were meaty but bland. The proteins could be served with more than a dab of this and a bit of that. If the seasoning and servings are amped up a bit, this will be an amazing restaurant
I have eaten at many places where Micheal Meehan has cooked and I don't really think that Michael Meehan is in the kitchen. To start the place was empty on a Thursday night at We ordered a specialty martini on the menu and they said they didn't have the vodka. The appetizer of mussels was decent but beyond small and had no juice in the bottom of the pot. Is that possible. The seafood salad had shrimp that were literally cut in half and drenched in olive oil. Heres the clincher. Salmon over caesar saladcould barley taste the dressing if any and the salmon BURNT to a crisp I mean charbroiled. Meat loaf two small slivers the size of a palm and potatoes ice cold on bottom almost like it was a TV dinner. I have never posted a bad review but this is well deserving of one if in fact Micheal Meehan is in that kitchen. Didn't have dessert.Service was fine but there are bunch of college kids basically running it and with no adults that at least we could see
Great bar and cocktail menu. Great outside seating. Ample parking. A great spot just outside the hamlet of Oyster Bay
