    The truffle fries were a total letdown. Whatever was shaved on top had absolutely zero flavor, and the absurd market price made it even worse. I can’t believe they would serve basically a large order of fries for 46 dollars and it was so bland. We had a large party ordering many dishes, nobody left the dinner happy from the food.

    Lots of small misses, but it's a holiday and the food was really good. The service team did what they could to make things right. Whole fried chicken was amazing, all the sides were good. I'd come back.

    This was our second visit to Miss River and it was disappointing to put it nicely. We were greeted by a back server immediately who provided us with water and set the table; however, after that, nobody came to check on us again for fifteen minutes. The mushroom toast was flavorless and pretty disgusting; my curry was also flavorless, bland, and watery. My daughter ordered the beef tournedos medium rare and they were almost well done. I will mention that the BBQ shrimp were tasty and the bread service was fine also. Overall, this food is not acceptable for the price nor for a city famous for its cuisine. To top off this bad experience, we waited outside at valet for our car for over 30 minutes. We won’t be back nor will we recommend Miss River to our local friends or visiting guests.

    We went to the brunch service was awesome beautiful restaurant but the food honestly would have been better at the waffle house— I’m sad because it was my sisters birthday and it was super pricey— my omelette only had a bit of plain crabmeat on it my sister had some scrambled eggs on a piece of toast the eggs weren’t cooked though my brothers shrimp and grits were like a child’s serving size very pricey not good— oh we got dessert and that was the best baked Alaska— and we had some sweet potato brioche that was excellent— so I’m done with brunch here— I did have dinner there before and it was delicious

    Our experience at Miss River was great! We went for the wood fire pizza and spritz special night. The honey and sausage pizza was incredible. Our server Sam provided us wonderful service. Will go again!

    We went here for the Eras Brunch. First, they had the music and the ambiance indoors was great but then we got seated outside for their normal brunch. It was fine since we could still hear the music. Our server seemed very rushed. We did the 3 course brunch. The drinks and appetizers were good. Only thing was how long it took to get everything. It wasn’t even crowded by the time we came . It took 30 mins to get our appetizer course which was the beignets and ham. They forgot my sisters sweet potato rolls and we had to ask for them. Afterwards, we were waiting another 20 mins, we had already finished our appetizer course. Our server asked if we were ready for our check !! We reminded him we had not gotten our brunch meal yet. He said he would go and check on it. Another 10 mins later, the manager comes by and says our meals were delayed and it would take another 10-15 mins to make. He offered me another drink which he then also forgot. We asked if we could get it our food to go. Basically in >1.5 hr we had one drink and our appetizer, so we left our brunch hungry. We did eat our brunch meal as our breakfast at midnight since we had to leave to meet friends.
