- AAmandaVIPNew York City •4 reviews4.0Dined on May 25, 2025Great cider and other drink options. Food options limited but delicious. Loved the entertainment but that did make it noisier. We made a reservation but when we arrived we found that it didn't guarantee a table. They just use it to calculate the number of potential customers, which was frustrating. We had a great time but something to be aware of, especially on days that you would anticipate being busy.More infoRiverhead Brew HousePrice: Moderate• American• Riverhead•4.7
- MMichaelAtlantic City / South Jersey Shore •3 reviews5.0Dined on May 4, 2025I highly recommend Dark Horse! Had the Merlot Braised Beef and just delicious. Soups were really good too. If this place was located in the Hamptons or the North Fork, you wouldn't be able to get a reservation at this place. It's that good! But in Riverhead, should be an easy get.
