Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Newcastle

Outstanding food. Super and patient service. Thank you

It was our fifth time there. There will be many more visits. Everything was spectacularly good - from the craft cocktails to the appetizers to the mains. All remarkable and delicious.

We hadn’t been to River Rock for dinner in a few years (we often go for lunch) and were very impressed and the quality and taste of the food. There are so many menu choices. We were a party of six and we all enjoyed our meals. Our server was great, too.

We had our team dinner here and booked very last minute. The staff were delightful and accommodating. The food was incredible. I’d highly recommend this restaurant.

The quality and taste of all food from the salad course, main course to dessert was outstanding. The flavor profiles of the braised short rib and truffle mashed potatoes was wonderful. The only reason for not giving 5 stars in this category was due to the small portion size. Perhaps this was due to it being a special priced menu for Seattle Restaurant Week, but when I make braised short ribs, a single short rib (boneless) would be around 4 ounces vs. the closer to 2 ounces that came to the table. The overall quality was so good though that my date and I were very satisfied and the amazing espresso crème brûlée filled the void.
