Best Live Music Restaurants in Highlands

Outstanding dining experience shared with out of town family who were guests for the holiday season. The River Cafe did not disappoint. The menu offered a dazzling array of options for each course and given the large selection, we were a bit concerned about their ability to deliver… we were extremely happy and quite frankly blown away by each course. The food was of the best quality, presented beautifully and tasted absolutely DELICIOUS. Our only disappointment was the water service - it seems so silly but we had to ask NUMEROUS times for water and wait and wait for our glasses to be refilled. This seems like a minor detail but a major annoyance that can be readily corrected. One other troubling detail that surprised us was the lack of toilet tissue in the Ladies Room- it appeared that no staff attended to the bathroom during our three hour meal. We raise these two points in support of The River Cafe’s commitment to excellence. A warm thanks to the Chef and their team for a wonderful meal and lovey dining experience.

Our server Lauren was excellent…we had allergy issues and she was very attentive and helpful! We ordered the clams oreganato and was slightly disappointed with them…all breadcrumbs and very little clams. I felt overpriced for what you get. Otherwise, food, service and ambience excellent!

Delicious food and impeccable service . I’m sure the view is beautiful too if it wasn’t a rainy winter evening . Highly recommend

Food and service exceptional. French onion soup and goat cheese fritters to start. Shrimp tacos and turkey Rueben delicious. Perfect holiday afternoon.

Food was delicious, service was Excellent! The Chef even came out to check on us. We went early, 5:30pm so it was a bit quiet but the restaurant is very charming and cozy. Would love to go back on a Saturday night when there is Flamenco and finish my night with an espresso from the beautiful machine they have. I wish them the best!
