The Trenton waterfront received a major update with the addition of Cooper's Riverview! The atmosphere is fun and festive while providing a superb dining experience. Highlights are an amazing happy hour, entertainment, and brand new menu and an eager staff that will make your visit memorable. The massive complex features four main areas: a large entertainment hall for private events, weddings, concerts, shows and nightlife; a cozy dining area and bar; a great indoor/outdoor bar and cocktail area; and a large deck on the water with private areas and a stage for national performances. The cuisine is all of your gastro pub favorites including handmade burgers, seafood, steaks and health conscious salads. We’re bringing the fun back to the waterfront!

    Ruben, our server, was excellent. He was friendly, helpful, solicitous, and efficient. The Gobbler sandwich was an excellent value. Also, the greeter (sorry, I didn't get her name) was friendly.

    I chose coopers from reviews I’ve seen. It was my birthday and was extremely disappointed. My 10 year old grandson wouldn’t eat and said the food was, “not good”. It cost me $160 and I barely ate.

    Meh. I was really looking forward to our date night overlooking the water at sunset, but that did not happen. We had reservations, with notes, specifically requesting to be seated at the window to experience the riverview. That requested was not honored. We walked in, told them we had a reservation, not only did they not care about a reservation, they told us there was only 1 table available directly in front of a TV sitting area. I was very disappointed. I can understand if I was a walk in, but this reservation was made well in advance for clearly no reason at this point. The food was mediocre at best. The "lobster and shrimp bucket" was not a bucket, but a small plate and we definitely felt like it was not worth the money spent. Service was slow, considering how it wasn't busy, I was surprised how long it took for soda refills. The Pretzel Nuggets were extremely Salted, too salty for us to enjoy even with the cheese.

    Our group ordered from BBQ menu the Brisket and rib platters, which were delicious incl all the sides - so much food!- and jalepeno poppers which were also delicious. Shrimp bucket was good too, and wings were some of the best we've had in the area. Entertainment was fantastic and the space is festive and a great place to enjoy a great meal - we will be back!

    The burger was good quality, but not cooked to order. The waitress was pleasant but unorganized. My lobster Mac, you couldn't taste or see any lobster; except for 1 piece. the crab cake sandwich did not have the tarter sauce on the bun as advertised.

    I’ve been to Cooper’s several times to see Fish Out of Water play. I always make a reservation because we like to do dinner when they play. Last night was the first time I was charged an $8 cover even though I was sitting to have dinner. They offered two drink tickets, however bartender said they could not be used. Our waitress was awful, seemed very miserable. We normally do an appetizer, full dinner and drinks, but since our waitress didn’t check on us after our appetizer came out for at least an hour we ended up not doing dinner at all. I was very disappointed. The band was great, the hostess who sat me was very friendly, but overall experience was absolutely terrible. Not sure if actually return after that. Before last nights experience, it has ALWAYS been a great experience but last night the staff was just so rude and didn’t seem to care about the customers.

    My first time at Coopers. My family and I really enjoyed the food. Everything was delish and such a great price. My waitress could use some training. She didn't look happy and liked as though she just woke up from hanging out all night. She was not very friendly and didn't even introduce herself. She got a tip because it was included already. I will definitely visit again...very soon!

    Cute, jazzy and comfortable. The food was pretty stellar, considering it was buffet style. Admittedly, I'm mostly a non-meat eater, so I obtained from a good portion of it, but had little tastings from here and there. Spot on. There was always staff around to call upon if need be but never a necessity and said staff all seemed in a pretty decent mood without just putting on a "customer service face". This, to me, makes it seem like the place may not be a horrible place to hold and work brunch at.

    I made a reservation expecting to get seated outside, turns out there was an event happening and outside seating was closed. They sat us in this dark event space inside. I kindly asked the manager why we couldn’t sit outside and that as someone who reserved we should have been told that outside seating would be closed due to a private event on that day. Why else would I reserve at a restaurant that have a river view? I don’t want to be sitting in a dark, dingy, inside space, I can get a better ambience anywhere else. The manager was nice enough to make an exception for us and made a table outside. Overall, food was good although we didn’t realize it would be a buffet style. If you are reserving make sure to call ahead to ensure you get the seating you want, it would have been nice to have known ahead of time that a private event would have taken away the possibility to be seated outside.

    With reservations, we went directly to the table and sat there for 20 minutes before flagging down a manager in order to get a waiter. 15 minutes later, we got a waitress that apologized. The food took a while to come out cold and the waitress had a knack for walking right past us numerous times without acknowledging our existence...it was almost comical being that we were even waving our arms to get her attention. Great atmosphere...great band but horrible service!

    Worst brunch we ever had. The food was terrible. It was ice cold- not even lukewarm. It was mostly all previously frozen (bagels, french toast, waffles). The prime rib looked so rare it was almost raw. For $22.95 a person we expected a little better quality. The server was friendly but considering all they basically bring are the drinks we couldn't understand why we waited so long for them and our check. It was not busy. Will never go there again. The only saving grace of this experience was the $2 mimosa...

    Our waitress was awesome! I forgot her name but she was a mature blonde lady with lots of charm! She recommended (and we got), crab cake sandwiches, delicious. The chips were yummy too. Great shrimp appetizer. I had a cocktail which was the best I've had all summer, an orange crush! My hubby was very happy and wants to come back.

    We brought our Family (12 people) to Coopers for Sunday Brunch, and we had a great time! We sat along the water, there was a latin jazz guitar player, which was the icing on the cake! The food was so good, and plentiful! I am a breakfast person so I enjoyed all of the breakfast options (there were a ton)! Alot of the Family went for the lunch choice, and they raved about the fish and jerk chicken! Of course, the kiddos loved all of the sweet treats being offered. Our servers name was Donna and she was very attentive and kept the Mimosa carafes coming! This was a very fun day! Thanks Cooper's for keeping it affordable to enjoy brunch with the family!

    A nice brunch buffet for gathering with friends and family. The food was very good though selection was limited. For the price it’s was a great value. Staff was professional and pleasant, they showed attention to patrons needs. Soft jazz guitar music was very good and an added value to a very pleasant brunch experience.

    Cooper' Riverview (Former Katmandu back in the day) is a really great place to dance or grab a drink. the 90's tribute band was a blast. I only wish they had some vegan items on the menu. 1-2 vegan options for apps or entrees would definitely modernize the menu for sure.

    Unfortunately when we arrived for our 1:30 rsvp the line to get in was out the door and into the street. I went in to ask if the patrons waiting had reservations or just walk ins and the hostess told me it would be a 45 minute wait to be seated . I had read the reviews about this place and this was a number 1 complaint along with the buffet food being cold. I will never go back.
