Walking in, it seems like a old neighborhood restaurant that doesn’t seem would be all that interesting. Where the decor is lacks a cohesive personality, the staff and food absolutely make up for it.

I have gotten food from here twice now and I can’t say I don’t love every bit of it. From the Cheese Curds to the Chicken Alfredo I have had nothing but positive words to say. Whether it’s a late night snack or the place you want to take that one girl on a first date River Cafe is the way to go. I can’t stress enough how great this place is. There is one server Izabella who is divine. Amazing service and treats you as family. Overall 11/10 will recommend to anyone in the area!!

I actually have overwhelmingly enjoyed River Cafe going back to the previous owner when it was The Loon. Yes I am older but still feel comfortable here. I’m an infrequent visitor these days but continue to enjoy food, drink and company here whenever I can. The owner once heard that I had requested a new glass of wine because it tasted stale. He apologized immediately then before throwing that bottle of wine out he took a swig and grimaced saying “that’s awful’. We had a good laugh and he insisted on giving me a very generous pour replacement on the house. Very cool guy in my book. Bottom line, ignore my one star rating because the food and drink are all fantastic. I was just disappointed this past Friday night as I stopped only for a nightcap after working my part time job. Two glasses of wine and a $3 tip later, just before closing, the young lady with black hair returned my credit card by throwing it on the floor while I was texting on my phone. I saw what happened and was baffled but I figured my tip was not too appreciated (if so I apologize) but I did not say anything, I just left. I’m sure the owner would not have approved of her actions and I hope she hasn’t offended other irregular regulars. Still love the place, I’ll just avoid her on Friday nights.

Excellent place! Awesome food in bar bites style (note that everything they serve there is meant for sharing).

It was very crowded for Thursday night I guess because of the covid and that the most of the business are closed for dine in . So finding this place open was a gem. However I’d appreciate if the waiter would wear a mask as many people at the table noticed that and didn’t feel comfortable. Food Is average and okay. Nothing special.

Nice atmosphere, and great food. Try the Sicilian pizza it’s excellent!! my only complaint and the reason for the two stars is, it’s extremely expensive… 9$ for a cocktail that has a splash of liquor in it is ridiculous in River Grove!!! For two people we had two drinks each and one main dish each, the bill was over 120$ that’s not including tip. This place makes it impossible for you to like it enough to go to. I think the owner needs to realize that he’s in River Grove and not downtown Chicago.

Quite simply one of the best salads around. The chopped salad with blackened chicken. Try it, you won’t regret it. As for the rest of the menu, the pizza is above average and the sandwiches are up to par.

Food was great, service was wonderful. I had the gnocchi in vodka sauce with sausage crumble and some fresh bread it was delicious.
