- AAnnNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoFrom start to finish, we felt like we were in expert, caring hands. Even the person who checked our coats had a warm smile. The space is gorgeous (thank you Amanda) and the food was well-conceived and inventive without being show-offy, beautiful and completely delicious. The bay scallops were like a breath of fresh air. Thanks to Chef and the whole staff.More infoLittle WaterPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Center City•4.6
- AAnneWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFirst, the service at River Twice was wonderful. We sat at the bar and talked with the chefs and our waiter was top notch, freindly but not overbearing, and attentive to every detail and need. Our meal was wonder, especially the soldier toast with caviar and the foccacia and ricotta. Small, intimate space, not too loud, cozy and lovely ambience.More infoRiver TwicePrice: Very Expensive• American• South Philly•4.6

- BBetelehemPhiladelphia County •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoMe and my boyfriend decided to eat in this restaurant for the suggestive location but I have to say that also the food was really good. What we took was satisfying: the mussels were very fresh and also the halibut was great. The non-fish options were also good. Service was enjoyable but very discreet, which allowed us to have enjoy the night together and we really appreciated that. We had a great time and part of it was thanks to the staff; we asked a couple of pictures and they were really nice and had no problem doing that. We would just give a couple tips for the restaurant. We thought that it would be great to implement tablecloths on the restaurant’s tables to make it even nicer than it already is. A second tip is to offer some type of discount or a small tasting of another dish if the item requested by costumers is no longer available or cannot be prepared. Other than that our experience was very satisfying.More infoMoshuluPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Penn's Landing•4.6
