Reviews for The River Social | dinner, Cocktail, Brunch restaurant in Pr in Providence, RI

Food is pretty good. The waffle bites with all the toppings were awesome! Fun brunch drinks. Great views right on the water.... This place is fun. Don’t let the poor reviews discourage you! Don’t believe the poor reviews. Idk what these people aresaying “great food, great staff, took a few minutes too long to get the food I really enjoyed, 2 stars”?? What?? Read more

The food was cheap & tasted like it. Overall, it tasted like something I could have done better myself at least for the French... Toast. There was not an evident cinnamon flavor despite that being listed as on the menu. My friend thought the omelette wasokay, and was only willing to finish it because it was almost one and her first meal of the day. The bacon was overly greasy.The potatoes were done well & well seasoned, but nothing special. The service was as bad as the food. We got seated quickly, andour order was taken fairly fast. However, it took almost 40 minutes to get our food. It came out without the side of bacon atfirst too. The omelette came out without the appropriate sauce. Overall, we had to ask for everything we needed including morewater, etc. - would not come back. In response to the reply, there were about 7-8 tables seated while were in the restaurant,and it appeared there were at least 2-3 waitresses working as well as a hostess and bar staff. We arrived at 11:55 with a noonreservation and left about 1pm. Read more

Caution, this place doesn’t have their act together. They didn’t tell me when I called to make my reservation or list it on... their website, but they had only a “fixed” menu the day my group and I visited. One of my party didn’t care for theoptions on the very limited menu so he was going to order a drink and sit with us. Two dozen empty tables all around us, and themanager came to our table to tell us that everyone at our table would be charged the fixed menu price if they ordered food ornot. We asked her to be reasonable but we were told that was the policy, so we left. Read more

We enjoyed our experience here. The location is great, service was excellent, and the food was tasty and priced fairly for the... quality and location. Two reasons that we don’t rate them a “5”: firstly, the food was lukewarm; secondly, the coffee wasweak - really weak. No doubt they could have, and would have, corrected both if we had asked, but we had arrived close toclosing time. We didn’t want to delay the staff. Read more

Chicken and waffles super dry. Waitress was sweet. Food is only enjoyable if you get drunk before. Manager looked confused the... whole time. Not worth the money or wait tbh. It's more of a good place to drink Read more

Stopped by for Saturday brunch. Quaint little place. Good food. Eggs were fluffy. The steak was tender and flavorful. Quite... possibly the best breakfast steak I’ve had in a while. And the Mediterranean omelette was full of fresh veggies and fetacheese. And the young man behind the bar crafted some very tasty ice coffees for us. Read more

First of all, what a cute establishment! It’s my first time here and I’m impressed with the aesthetics. Drinks were great! I... had the chicken and waffles and the presentation was beautiful. I’ll be honest, the taste factor was just okay. Maybe it wasan off day. Hannah was our server and she was beyond! Dealing with a big party can be tough and she came back probably threetimes to ask if we were all ready to order. She even chased one of us down because we forgot our food. Such a doll. I’d goback just because of the great service. Read more

The restaurant was very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Right by the water perfect for a nice brunch date or going to dinner... during water fire. The food was quite tasty as well. I had the chicken and waffles, it was more a sandwich but the bacon andcheese went really well with the sweet waffle. Aside from all these great things the downfall was the service. For being with aparty of five, the food came out staggered which after waiting 40 minutes for the food was very annoying. One of our items wasnot even made and we had to wait additional time for our forgotten item. Waiting so long for beverages and food spoiled thepotentially wonderful experience we could of had.
