Reviews for River House Grille in Freeport, NY
I visited with two friends for lunch. Our waiter was great. I ordered Shrimp Cocktail for my appetizer. The shrimp was over... cooked, & the cocktail sauce was bland. On the other hand my Surf & Turf was delicious. The drinks were delicious. Only onecomplaint, but it was rectified quite quickly. We were seated, and an unnecessarily loud group of women were seated right behindus. We asked to be moved. Our waiter was able to move us swiftly. I will return. Read more
Unfortunately would never go back to the establishment. We were served by the manager who had a very off personality. Semi... crazy.. The food wasn't all that good. The bill came and had gratuity already on it. I truly believe in giving well when theservice is good. This manager deserved NOTHING. We left and went to another restaurant just for dessert and coffee. I hope thisestablishment reads these reviews and does better. Read more
Food is great, the people are very nice. We had the lobster and Mac n cheese and lobster rolls both were real good. The Cajun... pasta as good. I had the surf n turf (steak and lobster) the steak was a little over cooked I wanted med rare I got medium butthe lobster spinach and mashed potatoes were real good. Ambiance was relaxing. Watched a few people coming back n forth intheir boats or jet skis. Def wouldn’t mind coming back here. Highly recommended Read more
This place can be considered as “fine dining”, comparing to neighbored restaurants, given its pricing and overall vibe. We... were a party of three, with two adults and one toddler, the final bill came out around $200. I do not mind to pay $200 for adinner, but neither the food nor the service meet our expectations. The seafood wasn’t fresh and the taste were just alright.No bread was served during the meal, we thought this place might not serve bread until we saw the tables around us got it whilewe were checking out. The busser was, obviously, not professionally trained, as she simply picked up the fork that my sondropped and put it back to his table, instead of giving us a clean one. Our plates were taken away right after we finish thefood, but no one even asked if we want to order dessert or get the bill. I had to go to the cashier to hand my card to theserver and told him I am ready to pay. The place charges service fee for card transaction, but the ATM machine is not in work. Read more
I enjoyed my meal from start to finish. Would come back again to try other menu options. Friendly wait staff !!
I’ve been to several restaurants on the Nautical Mile and this was one of my worst experience. My boyfriend and I decided to... visit this establishment as it was Valentines Day. We arrived at the restaurant around 8:30pm we were seated and within 15minutes we placed our order for appetizers, drinks and our main course. I ordered the skirt steak with spinach and mashedpotatoes which was $36. I was then told there was no more skirt steak I can substitute for a ribeye. We received our food around9:15pm. My steak which was suppose to be well done was medium rare. For the next 15 minutes the manager or owner hovered overour table as if he was rushing us to finish our meal, by then i was annoyed when our bill was placed on our table half waythrough eating our meal. So we decided just to take our food to go. When we looked at our bill i was charge $36 for what ioriginally ordered which was not available, on top of an additional $22 for the substitute steak that was offered to me instead.Plus a 20% gratuity was already included in our bill along with the 3.5% fee for using a credit card. Definitely won’t bereturning. Read more
Had a great dinner here. I went with my wife on Wednesday which is a day they have a special. Food was great for the price. The... location is very clean and the staff are very appreciative. They check on you frequently and make sure your water is filled,which is a plus. The staff cleans up and makes sure you have completed your meals before they take anything away. Calamari wasvery crisp and fresh enjoyed them. The special was a lobster and filet mignon served with spinach and mashed potatoes. Food wasdelicious ordered the steaks medium. I did wish the steaks were a little more seasoned though other than that it was great. Thebutter and salt they have have for the lobster was delicious. The course brings a Lobster corn chowder or a ceasar salad tostart, I recommend the lobster corn chowder over the salad. And to finish it off we got a tiramisu cake because they were out ofcheesecake absolutely great. Wife enjoyed her visit here will deff come back. Read more
The location is great- perfect water views but the food is consistently inconsistent. I've had great paella one week but then it... tastes totally different (in a bad way) the next. My husband and I roll the dice with ordering, hoping that the good chefs arein the back. Come on Thursdays for the 2-for-1 baked clams and the live band- they're both fantastic. But be prepared to spend$100 pp, no matter what. Read more
