George Seitanidis Review of The River Cafe
After hearing about this 40 year old historic rest...
After hearing about this 40 year old historic restaurant, we decided to dine there for my parent s 16th anniversary. As tourists, we obviously hadn t come prepared (this is a jacket-wearing restaurant) but were kindly offered blazers (mind you, they did have stains and were lacking in the button department). However, the three-course meal (at a fixed price of 130$) was absolutely delicious. The gnocchi was perfectly cooked in a beautifully delicate meat sauce and soft asparagus. The main was also delicious; lamb rack (medium done) with whipped ricotta and arugula-pistachio pesto together with cannelloni. The dessert was also amazing; seasonal pumpkin cheesecake (which I know sounds a little daunting at first, but was exquisite). As far as service goes, we were treated with the utmost hospitality, and the dishes were all served at exactly the same time, a true sign of restaurant professionalism. Many thanks to all the waiters and waitresses who made this very special evening one to remember!
