My husband had the special, which was a braised lamb shank. The presentation was great, and he said it was amazing. I had the rock fish, and it usually is a nice piece of fish, but this was small, tiny pieces of fish and way too much seasoning on it. Luckily for me, I was not very hungry. I was very disappointed being my birthday dinner and all. We will be back. It's still a good local place.

We had a wonderful dinner. Hubby had the steak and pepper sandwich I had a rib eye on top of a smashed garlic baked potato. Dinner was wonderful, and it always is. Glad to know they offer specials. That relieves the same summer menu. Great work to all!

Our experience was about as close to perfection as it could get. We went for my birthday lunch and as desired, we had a table right by the river. It was the warmest day so far this spring, close to 80 degrees and we were happy to sit in the sun. Cocktails were great, especially the smoky old fashioned..the presentation was a show in itself. We decided on a feast of appetizers…shrimp cocktail (5 enormous prawns), fried artichoke hearts (crispy not greasy) and tasty pork belly. Far more than enough for two to finish. Although we were quite comfortable, I suspect our server was able to see my Scottish neck beginning to glow bright red all the way from topside so she checked to be sure I was okay and then had someone bring down an umbrella to provide shade so the “old folks” didn’t turn into crispy critters. There wasn’t one thing I would change and I recommend River’s Edge for food, ambiance, and service.

We had the seared ahi and steak sandwich. Both were very good and just the right size. We also had a beer and a glass of wine.
