River Bistro - Binghamton

Even though the setting is in a hotel and welcomes all visitors, there’s no strict dress code. This flexibility means you can dress up for a special night out or keep it casual and still feel comfortable. We were treated to live music during our visit, which added to the ambiance. The food and service were outstanding. Alisha, our server, was knowledgeable, efficient, and personable. You can check out the photos below to see what we ordered. The crab mac and cheese and roasted green beans were my favorites, though everything we tried was delicious. My only minor concerns were about the chairs—this might only affect someone of my stature—and the crème brûlée. The chairs, as shown in the pictures, have metal legs that can dig into your legs if you’re not careful. As for the crème brûlée, it had a coffee flavor that some may enjoy as a twist on the classic dessert, but I'm one of the few who really don't like coffee. Nonetheless, overall, it was a fantastic experience!

The drinks were quite good, but the food menu didn't seem very appealing, so I decided not to dine here.

I had a fantastic experience at the River Bistro. The service was exceptional, with the bartenders being both professional and prompt in addressing our needs.

Food was good but the service was very slow. Maybe 10 customers were there.

Opens at 5:00 PM. Got there at 5:05. No waitress, bartender took our order. Waitress came in. First got my soup wrong. Then brought my wife her desert, and forgot mine (never got it). Asked for the check, and waited over ten minutes to get, even though our waitress passed by us several times for another table.
