Review by Kayleigh

December 08, 2024

The River and Rail Restaurant offers a delightful twist on American cuisine, capturing the essence of comfort in a chic atmosphere. I indulged in the chicken liver mousse, which was incredibly rich and served with a little jar of pickles that I couldn’t resist! The expertly crafted cocktails paired perfectly, making the night more special. The service was attentive without being intrusive. While the filet could've been better, the overall vibe makes it a fantastic spot for a cozy dinner or a special occasion... 🍷
