Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out River Restaurant as a venue for private events, with one describing a son's christening party and another naming weddings and christenings. Friendly staff and a good dine-in experience also come up. The main complaint is volume: one diner found the music deafening, with children covering their ears, and called the food poor and expensive.

“Just perfect , food and drinks , friendly staff, waiting time spot on . Pure perfection , perfect place for events and also for dine in .”

“TOO LOUD!!! If you want subpar food, massive prices and eardrum damaging music level look no further. The restaurant is located in an industrial estate with plenty of street parking with no restrictions. The welcoming and service was very good with a very elegant décor inside. Straight away you are hit by the volume of the music, it's deafening with children holding their hands over their ears. I had to download a noise level measuring app just to confirm how loud it was. The first picture with an average of 77dB is outside and the other is at my table taken as I was walking in and had 115dB(!) on the dance floor. You have to shout all the words coming out. The food is of very poor quality and very expensive, it reminded me of a Romanian country side tent wedding. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone.”

“Very Well organised staff and owner, providing a perfect atmosphere for my son’s christening party. The best Romanian restaurant for private events such as wedding or christenings. Everyone felt amazing and will definitely come back here again given the opportunity.”
