The Trenton waterfront received a major update with the addition of Cooper's Riverview! The atmosphere is fun and festive while providing a superb dining experience. Highlights are an amazing happy hour, entertainment, and brand new menu and an eager staff that will make your visit memorable. The massive complex features four main areas: a large entertainment hall for private events, weddings, concerts, shows and nightlife; a cozy dining area and bar; a great indoor/outdoor bar and cocktail area; and a large deck on the water with private areas and a stage for national performances. The cuisine is all of your gastro pub favorites including handmade burgers, seafood, steaks and health conscious salads. We’re bringing the fun back to the waterfront!

Great band and fun atmosphere with lots of dancing!! Our main courses were really good. The calamari was pretty awful though, tasted like deep fried salt with no fish inside. It was also absolutely freezing in the restaurant. Had to wear our coats through dinner. Service was very good and friendly. Would definitely go back for the right entertainment and selective ordering on a warmer night haha.

We did not eat there that night, but we have many times before. Food is always delicious. Our waiter was not our usual, I always ask for Chris- best waitress ever! However, he was very friendly and very prompt in taking good care of us. Listen to a new band - The Balanced Breakfast Band who were very good.

Our reservation was for 1:00 pm for the buffet. When we got there there was a large private party going on. We would have been lucky to get to the buffet table by 2:00. (It was a very large party.) We left. This is the 3rd time we've gone there for lunch or the buffet where there were large parties going on. We will not be going back.

The brunch buffet food wasn't horrible, but none of it was great either. There was always enough of everything-nothing ran low. Desserts were definitely lacking-looked like just an assortment of Costco cookies. Unfortunately we had a rainy day, but the outdoor deck overlooking the river would have been nice.

Made a reservation by phone and it was lost so we were put at a table far back on the deck, away from the band. The staff was not that good and food service was very poor. I am a regular customer at this venue and was very disappointed. I had made a reservation for eight people so I was a bit embarrassed by the outcome. Hoping for a much better outcome next time. Will use OpenTable instead of calling on the phone as obviously, it cannot be trusted.
