    Hidden gem on the East side near Bellevue. So glad they reopened after the COVID shutdown. Excellent cocktails and good food, well prepared with quality ingredients. The room is gorgeous and there is outdoor space overlooking the east river (if you can cope with noise from the FDR Drive, lol). The bread pudding was phenomenal.

    Riverpark is such a great place to have a relaxing meal right along the East River. We chose to sit outside and everything was delicious, light and fresh - lunch with some cold sangria and a beautiful river view with a cool breeze. The wait staff are friendly and super attentive (it's another super hot & humid day in NYC), they came by frequently to see if we needed anything and definitely took the time to make sure we stayed hydrated. I now know why Riverpark is a family favorite!

    Had a great time at Riverpark during restaurant week. Came for 7pm dinner and after coat check was seated promptly in the middle as we were a party of 7. Views are amazing from the side tables and interior is very well decorated. Bar and lights caught our eye. Service was top class and we were not rushed at all. We got drinks and then tried pretty much everything on the RW menu and each dish was full of flavor and looked amazing. Lamb chops were delicious, octopus appetizer was very good and the cereal and milk dessert was out of this world. Must try!

    Good place to hangout with family and friends. Best for Sunday brunches. Food is really fresh as they grow it themselves in the farm next to the restuarant. Cocktails are just amazing. Service is really good. Outdoor seating is available for a nice sunny day or cozy indoor seating for comfort. Overall good food, good service.

    Very nice place, perfect food. The service was good, but I the kitchen was closing so they rushed the service.

    Had a great time and dinner with part of my family inside the Riverpark restaurant. The texture and composition of the food was great, with an excellent service. The vines from around the world especially from the Balkan regions, I was delighted and impressed. Also, I loved the idea of the green garden that was located next to the restaurant that provided some of the ingredients of our dishes. Recommended

    Upscale restaurant with amazing high end American food with a great view of the east river. They also have a nice collection of appetizers (amazing fries and bar food), cocktails and wine. If you dine with a person working at Alexandria building nearby you get a 10% discount. Parking is below in Alexandria parking lot. Our favorite dishes were the clam spaghetti, riverpark burger and berry Pana Cotta. Definitely recommend.

    The menu was a play with Spanish and American Cuisine. The Aged Gouda on the Cheese plate was delicious. The Chef visited our table, and gave us two extras ox tail pastry and vanilla biscoti. The Roasted Mushrooms with Sherry Cream sauce was phenomenal. Highly recommend the roasted mushrooms. Ambiance was great and the view of the river is perfect for special occasions. If you're seeking Spanish fusion Fine Dining with a great view, this is the place. Very attentive service. Great place for a birthday celebration.

    Oldie and still Goodie. Went back here recently after a couple of years. The restaurant is still the same quality of awesomeness. Their attention to detail and delicious palette will always keep us coming back for more. Love that they have parking within the building, super convenient.

    We had a wonderful dinner party here. The staff were very attentive, the hors d’oeuvres were delicious, as was the whole experience. Lovely location.

    Great cocktails and food with an expansive terrace overlooking the East River. We enjoy taking our kids there as they like to watch the sea planes and helicopters depart from the river

    It’s an excellent restaurant serving entrees but not the best place for the raw bar. I’m a raw seafood lover and have tried many restaurants, and this is not the place to order them. The lamb and chicken entrees we ordered after trying the raw bar were fantastic! The chicken was juicy from the inside, crispy from the outside, plus an excellent mild seasoning without too overpowering. Gorgeous ambience with both indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant overlooks the East River, so you see LIC. Excellent service and entrees! Photos posted earlier. Thanks!

    This was quite a find as it's out of the way and when we went for Saturday brunch on the Labour day weekend it was pleasantly uncrowded. I suspect it's not likely to be crowded generally, given it's out of the way location. The restaurant is decorated beautifully and set at the bottom of an office tower block. You have to go past a reception desk to get into the restaurant and there's an outdoor beer garden area with Jenga and Connect 4 games to be had. Will have to go back on a warmer day to go play! As it was we ate in the main restaurant which was nice and quiet, but we had a great view of the east river from our seats by the window. Similar to the Water Club view but for some reason felt better. The brunch menu had lots of fun items and we selected the pastry plate and the donuts. They were awesome simply from being hot! I'm assuming they were fresh out of the fryer/oven, though I wouldn't be miffed if they had just been warmed. It's surprising how much better the taste is when it's hot. Hot donuts are exquisite and should be served that way all the time. For the main we had the fried chicken/biscuits and the burger. I thought the chicken may have been slightly over fried, but it still tasted lovely. We finished off with the key lime pie which was perfect as a palate cleanser and just tasted damn good too. Another plus point is that, amazingly, they catered to the non-alcoholic. Major bonus points, gold star for you! There were three cocktails, sans tipple and I picked the rainbow connection. It was a tad sweet at first, but in that situation I've learned to leave it 10 minutes for the ice to start melting and dilute the sweetness. Or, if I can't wait, dump some of my water into the glass after drinking some of it. For such good food the price is also quite reasonable, I can definitely see this place becoming a regular brunch spot. I'll definitely have to go back to try out the dinner menu as well. From the website blurb it's a seasonally changing menu so should provide a variety of dishes over the year. Recommend it! Update, went here the following week and tried out more of the menu. Had the fresh donuts again - could eat those all day...For the main I tried out the pork belly BLT sandwich. Definitely a high-end version of the BLT, but yummy. Do note that the belly is pretty fatty, so if you don't like that don't go for this dish. Also tried 2 other desserts. The cornbread semi-freddo was a slightly odd taste and wasn't that keen on it, so I'd avoid that one. But the cereal and milk chocolate cake was totally awesome and made up for the semi-freddo. We sat outside this time, though it got rather chilly when the east river wind picked up and it didn't help when we were in the shade. This was on a 22C day so if you plan on sitting outside in that kind of temperature sit in the sun or bring something warm. Was still slightly chilly with a sport coat. Still like the place.

    Riverpark is a modern American restaurant situated right next to the East River. Floor-to-ceiling windows paired with beautiful contemporary design and breathtaking views, dinner is sure on the next level. Check your coats with their friendly staffs and have a seat by the window. Salmon mousse was served as an evening starter along with bread and butter. Riverpark’s cocktails are tasty and not watered down by using a legitimate big block of ice. Cheese and meat board is neatly organized with the right pairings. Shrimp cocktails are like jumbo prawns freshly caught and chilled then served on the table. Today, they have an appetizer special of hamachi crudo with sea urchin. So delicate and full of umami flavor. Ribeye for two is absolutely fantastic and it was what you expect in a modern American restaurant. Save room for their amazing delightful desserts and a small little surprise at the end of the meal.

    Amazing find!!! The views are great, attentive staff and the food is delicious. My new favorite spot. Be sure to order the Lodge Cookie dessert. It was so, so good.

    Elegant dining room. Spacious seating. Great food. Excellent service. Amazingly good price in NYC. The view should also be nice if we did not visit on a rainy night.

    American Western food in the great river view restaurant is also suitable for large indoor banquets.

  • 5/5 la. n. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely evening to sit outside by the river. The pictures don’t show that it is right by the highway so it can be quite noisy if you sit outside. But I loved it. Beautifully views of the river. The food was really well seasoned and the fish (Branzino) cooked beautifully.

    This was probably the best dining experience I've had in NYC. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the most incredible view. Our server was attentive and kind, never making us feel rushed or ignored. The food was incredible as well -- you can tell they put a lot of thought and care into every dish. Highly recommend the beef tartare, oysters, lamb loin chops, and NY strip steak. You also can't skip on drinks or dessert! This place doesn't miss. We will definitely be back!

    Beautiful spacious and elegant dining room with outdoor sitting over looking the east river by FDR. The food and drinks were well prepared and all of us really enjoyed it. Riverpark is a destination.

    Classy environment. Welcoming and accommodating staff. Friendly. Delicious and creative recipes. The chef came out to greet us and make sure we were happy with the meal, which we totally were! Al Limon and also the corn tamale dish were fantastic! Definitely going to return! Super in every aspect!

    Riverpark was such a lovely restaurant! They were able to accommodate my two parents, sister, brother-in-law, nephew, and me at one table for lunch, and they made my parents' 31st anniversary such a special occasion. All I asked for was a reservation over the phone, and they asked if we were celebrating anything special. Who knew one simple response would turn into such a lovely celebration! Also, the wait staff was so kind and hospitable - not just our waiter, but everyone with whom we interacted. Moreover, the food was absolutely delectable. It was reasonably priced, and again, the quality of the meal both food-wise and service-wise was outstanding. They also surprised my parents with a personalized dessert at the end. 11/10 would recommend this place!

    The Atmosphere of Manhattan from Riverpark was was unequivocally amazing! I was there from 7pm- 10pm. The view changed from day to night was astonishing. The Bar was load and the drinks were good.

    German Villatoro is an extraordinarily talented chef. Great service, views, and amazing dishes. Rotating menu but excellent lobster bisque and gaganelli.

  • 4/5 Dave P. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent staff and good but not amazing brunch. Had the brisket and the chicken chilequiles, drinks were nice as well. The dessert was our favorite part of the meal. The real winner here is the location and view. It’s a beautiful setting.

    What a nice treat to dine at Riverpark. The large floor to ceiling windows open up an amazing view of the river. The atmosphere and service was only rivaled by the extensive menu of culinary options and choices. The bar is very inviting and the friendly bartenders assisted our choices in scotch and tequila. We ordered appetizers of tuna carpaccio and salads before moving on to the halibut and the black bass. Everything was elegant and delicious and we look forward to visiting again real soon.

    The location, atmosphere, and quality of food are fantastic. Unfortunately the staff and service do not meet this high standard. Compared to other high-end restaurant, the service is quite poor. On many occasions the waiters just pay very little attention, and at times there will be very long stretches during which they would not come to the table. Groups of 3-5 would stay next to the bar and chat with each other rather than attending to the needs of the guests. More than ones I had to get up and find somebody to come to the table to take our orders. Therefore I have decide to come here less often.
