  • No, I would not go back!

Myself and 7 other guest visited the so great river room and was deeply disappointed. We waited 2 hours to recieve our meal and ended up leaving before it came. The appetizers took 1 hour to get to the table and to top it all off they gave us a $174.00 check and we had not even eaten. I forgot the to mention the sorry ass owner was there and all he could say is he was sorry. This place gives NYC a very bad name stay away you have been warned!!!

Some Hints:

  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
