New Rivers

New Rivers was a good experience. Their menu is concise and looked like the intention was "local ingredients". I had looked at photos from others and was excited to try what they had to offer. The calimari was perfectly light and tender. Their buns were yummy. The pickles, did not have pickles, but had pickled zucchini, onions, but no actual pickles. Entrees were good, not mind blowing. Pork chops and apricots go very well together. The fritters were delicious. The char was not out of the ordinary. I think for the price, the food did not hit the mark. The drinks are great and I'll be back to try it again to see if a new seasonal menu changes my mind.

Phenomenal pork chop tenderloin, full stop! Don't mess around, someone at the table should get this dish. We had the scallops and the sea Bass as well, the pork chop is a level above these dishes. Smoky char, tender, juicy, and you must dip in the sauce on the plate to get the full experience. This is a must have entree at The New Rivers restaurant. Baked Alaska was good and we enjoyed the Corn cake with corn ice cream.

Really appreciate the restaurant accommodating me when I did not have a reservation. The raw oysters were tastefully presented - with a stellar mignonette and cocktail sauce with fresh shaved horseradish. Is it rude to drink mignonette after finishing oysters? If so, New Rivers might tempt me to be rude. The cornmeal fried squid - amazing. Crispy, chewy and not overpowering. Fried basil and radish were the perfect accompaniments. My server advised me that I could order a single roll and I appreciated that non menu option. As a solo diner - I appreciate getting to try more of the menu. Smoked duck tart was incredible. The pastry was perfect - but I thought the salad on the side was odd. Entire leaves of lettuce were hard to eat. The freshness helped but maybe a different presentation mi

We went for dinner for a weeknight in early September. Reservations were available on short notice and missed the college parent crowds. First time here after hearing about it for a number of years. We shared a couple of appetizers and really enjoyed the cheese/charcuterie board and calamari. Calamari was crispy and sauces were delicate. Cheese board was also delicious and we liked that we could mix and match. Not many places offer pate, so we enjoyed having that as an option. The gnudi dish was the best of the evening. They’re something between a small dumpling and gnocchi, and were so incredibly tender! Sauce was very delicious and we highly recommend trying this dish. Entrees were okay, but not amazing. They’re known for their burger but I found it lackluster. Saddest part was the Fr

It seems they make a new menu daily; ours had the day we dined written on it. So I’m not sure if I’m able to exactly recommend anything specific but I loved the NY Strip Steak on 9/19. It was done perfectly. I was a huge fan. Highly recommend. I did expect the potatoes with it to be more crispy and the sauce to be more like au jus from the menu description but they were still really good! It was a long wait on even a Thursday so it’s highly recommended to plan in advance and make reservations. It’s like the food that north used to serve and that was one of my favorite restaurants. We ordered a charcuterie as well and I didn’t love it but that was my fault because I literally chose what I wanted in it. Overall, I still had a fantastic dinner and would try other things next time!
