For
many
years,
I
have
lived
in
the
Philadelphia
area.
I
have
noticed
the
struggle
most
restaurants
face.
In
spite
of
these
struggles,
River
Twice
restaurant
has
maintained
the
highest
standards
I
have
ever
seen.
They
have
consistently
used
the
finest
high
quality
ingredients.
The
attention
to
detail
shown
in
the
dishes,
the
decor,
and
staff
does
not
just
happen.
That
comes
from
everyone
working
in
harmony
towards
a
single
vision.
That
vision
results
in
the
most
unique,
and
highest
quality
food
in
the
city.
It’s
time
for
Philly
to
put
down
the
cheesesteak,
ring
the
Liberty
Bell,
and
open
their
eyes
to
what
could
be.
Chef
Randy
and
the
River
twice
team
have
done
just
that.
Visit
their
world,
you
will
not
regret
the
experience.
The
dining
room
is
simple,
elegant
and
clean.
A
fine
dining
experience,
in
a
casual
setting,
that
feels
welcoming,
not
pretentious.
The
tables
even
have
a
small
drawer
for
cutlery,
so
if
there
is
a
need,
you
don’t
have
to
wait
to
summons
a
server
for
a
knife
or
fork.
Not
that
the
staff
would
be
likely
to
let
you
rely
on
that
detail.
The
staff
is
friendly,
attentive,
and
informative,
on
top
of
every
detail.
We
spoke
with
three
different
members
of
staff,
and
it
is
a
joy
to
see
servers
passionate
in
their
work.
Chef
Randy
and
his
team
build
flavors,
layering
them,
mixing
textures
to
create
dishes
with
outstanding
taste,
and
mouth
feel.
The
cornbread
skillet,
perfectly
cooked,
with
a
slight
bit
of
crispy
edge
were
it
meets
the
skillet,
braced
by
the
caviar,
and
smooth
porridge,
it
is
elevated
comfort
food.
The
oysters,
by
far
the
freshest,
and
best
prepared
I
have
ever
had.
The
addition
of
the
spice,
with
the
icy
brine
of
the
oyster
is
amazing,
and
refreshing.
The
unagi
was
gently
grilled,
lightly
golden,
and
all
the
pieces
were
the
same
size.
Layered
with
thin
mushroom
slices,
micro
thin,
that
dissipate
as
you
enjoy
the
unagi.
With
the
subtle
smoke,
and
miso
like
sauce
it
leaves
you
wanting
more.
The
four
course
tasting
menu
gives
you
a
variety
of
items
to
try,
all
complement
each
other.
This
menu
takes
out
the
guess
work.
Allowing
you
to
focus
on
conversation.
Opening
your
mind
to
items
you
may
not
immediately
be
drawn
to
on
a
menu.
A
wonderful
experience,
truly.
Sit
back
and
enjoy
the
ride.
