Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Avenel

Great food and service. We had a reservation and showed up with two additional guests and they were able to accomodate us. Were super friendly. I have been here before many times, always great experience.

We ate here for Thanksgiving dinner. The food was excellent. The hostess seemed a bit frazzled, which may be understandable since it was busy. She seated people ahead of us who had a reservation 30 min later than we did and then we had to wait for a table. The women’s bathroom doesn’t have hooks in the stalls so there is no place to put your purse. Minor complaint but I was surprised by this oversight.

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. The crab cakes and duck were amazing and the service excellent. Truly thankful to have such a great neighborhood staple for a holiday meal

The River Cafe is my favorite restaurant in New York, and probably anywhere else too! The beautiful romantic atmosphere, amazing views, warm yet attentive service and truly exquisite food make for a perfect experience. It is a special occasion place, not for everyday, but we have celebrated our anniversary there several times (when in the city - we do not live in NYC), and this time it was our 50th. They did not disappoint! I hope I get to go back for many more special occasions. We took our adult son with us and he loved it as well.

A few work colleagues and I went for a nice dinner. They had a live performer, and the ambiance and aesthetic of the restaurant were so nice. Food was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back.
