Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Love this restaurant nestled in downtown Easton. The service truly stands out. I mentioned a food sensitivity and asked about swapping sides, and the waitress immediately offered several great alternatives without hesitation. The food is consistently excellent, and the mussels are absolutely to die for. The service is always wonderful, and the cozy atmosphere makes every visit feel welcoming and relaxed.

River Grille is a New American restaurant located on Northampton St. in Easton. It's open Monday through Thursday, 11:30 AM - 9 PM, Friday and Saturday, 11:30 AM - 10 PM, and Sunday, 4 PM - 8 PM. Reservations recommended. I'd heard nothing but glowing reviews about this place, so I was more than a little excited to experience it for myself. For appetizers, I had the chicken spring rolls, fried calamari, and lobster bisque. The spring rolls had a crisp bite with a perfect mix of napa cabbage, carrot, hoisin, and sriracha aioli. The calamari was tender, lightly breaded, and served with a zesty jalapeño aioli and marinara. The lobster bisque was rich and creamy, topped with savory lobster meat. All three were excellent! I went with the lobster papparedelle for dinner, and it was just as amazing as the appetizers! The noodles were perfectly cooked, the sherry cream sauce was flavorful, and the lobster was incredibly succulent. Couldn't have asked for a better meal. My friends tried the guinness braised short ribs and the penne alla vodka. The shorts ribs were a hit, but the penne alla vodka didn't stand out, it was just average. With so many other great options on the menu, I wouldn't recommend it. Service was great. We were seated right away, even without a reservation, and our server, Maria, was friendly and showed superb timeliness throughout our meal.

The food was excellent. However, they were understaffed and had no bartender. They have a full bar in the restaurant, but when I ordered a bloody mary, the waiter/owner(?) looked at me like I had three heads. He had no idea what it was, so I had to stick with water. I have no idea why they have a full bar if they can't make a simple drink. I would visit again, based on the quality of the food.
