We loved the space. Even though it was inside an outdoor tent in the back, it was cozy and warm. The space was decorated with wood everywhere and strung with twinkling lights. The food is amazing! Very fresh local ingredients. The short rib was perfect and the portion very large. The Cassoulet was on of the best we have ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant!

We were really excited to try this restaurant and it was very disappointing. The food was underwhelming. The chicken and waffles was basically chicken on smooshed tater tots and the gnocchi was basically big mushy ball with a few pieces of short ribs. We also got the special mushroom soup which had an overwhelming smoky flavor.

Wonderful brunch at River and Woods. Hard to find a breakfast place with French press coffee but R&W has it and it’s incredible! We celebrated my wife’s birthday today over brunch and every aspect was delightful. Small quaint place but quiet enough to have great conversation over delicious food. We’ll be back again and again!
