   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.

   Impeccable service! We loved the seafood-centric menu, especially the scallops and the sea bass. The only thing is that the dessert might be too sweet to our taste and guys might find the portion size a bit small.

   I heard the food at River Twice was hit or miss; it was definitely a miss this time. Every course involving seafood was fishy and the open kitchen had a nauseating fish smell. However, I will say that I am especially sensitive to fishy-ness. And, the only savory dish I mostly enjoyed (which I ordered as an addition, outside of the tasting menu) was 26 dollars for 6 tiny oysters overpowered by the flavor of buttermilk. The value of River Twice is outrageously bad and I don't understand how it could be a Philadelphia Top 50 restaurant.

   Really wonderful evening of dining. Certainly a wonderful spot to take a date or someone for a special occasion. The tasting menu was killer from start to finish and the add-ons were just as exciting. It's a little pricey, but the money felt very well spent to me. Flow of service was great and I will certainly be back again. Thanks for the wonderful and delicious bites!

   River Twice delivered an outstanding dining experience on our Monday night visit. The four-course menu was perfectly portioned and flavorful. As a surprise addition we tried the "Mother Rucker" burger and it was hands down the best burger we've ever had—an unexpected but delightful way to end the meal. Every dish was thoughtful and well executed. We can’t wait to return for another unforgettable evening!

   Definitely one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. The food is unique, creative, absolutely delicious. Every course was a different version of amazing. Chef Randy visited our table to wish my husband a happy birthday. Lots of beautiful little acknowledgments of his birthday throughout the evening. We will definitely be back.

    This place was amazing! We came here for my husband’s birthday and it exceeded our expectations. All of the food was fresh and amazing flavors. The service was incredible and the wine pairing was perfect with the food. I would highly recommend this place for special occasions or even just a date night out!
