    I haven’t been to a.kitchen in a while and decided to try it with friends and family. I was so pleasantly surprised at how comprehensive the menu was. I had the tuna melt, my sister had the eggs and my friend had the octopus and soup. It was so delicious. The staff was so friendly. The only down side was how loud it was in there. There was a large party there and it was very loud. I’ll be back.

    The food and cocktails were soo delicious! I went during their Valentine day special, and I must say that the crab cakes, and salmon dish was by far the best! I would definitely recommend going back again.

    I have always leaned towards spice because of where I grew up and the culinary influences so River Twice was a revelation. The clean crisp flavors and the use of culinary techniques to enhance the dishes was something I have never experienced before. It was an emotional experience. The use of dehydrated mushrooms to enhance the tuna and then combining it with kumquats 🤯🤯🤯. My daughter and I are on a culinary journey, exposing ourselves to new flavors and and we have been trying some really awesome food but this is the first place we immediately wanted to return.
