    Really enjoyed our 5-course New Year's Eve dinner at the Wild River Grille. Really nice party atmosphere with decorations and special touches. All the food was really good. Lobster bisque, Filet Mignon with shrimp brochette and shared dessert plate with sparkler were highlights. Despite the full house, kitchen was operating at full speed. Our server Abigail was very friendly and accomodating! Enjoyed the dinner and walked outside to view the fireworks at midnight.

    This was a 5 course New Year’s Eve dinner. First of all the first course was a pork belly skewer which was cold! Flavorful but cold. The second course was an appetizer which was fried mozzarella, it was lukewarm. The soup and salad was the 3rd and 4th course, they arrived at our table at the same time! Had to send the soup back, it was cold. Had to tell the waiter that each course needs to come out separate and eaten before serving the next course! In addition each course that is supposed to be hot… Needs to be served Hot! 5th course was the entree, My wife had Filet Mignon with Shrimp, the filet taste more like a sirloin! Tough and grainy! Not very pleased, not the norm at this restaurant!

    Even though we couldn’t make our original reservation time on Christmas Eve because of flight was delayed, they did a great job of getting us in anyways so we could enjoy our evening. Great food, decent wine pours & the meatball appetizer was delicious and good for a table of 4. :)

    The food and drinks were delicious. The waiter was not very attentive, he seemed frazzled, kept telling us how busy he was. This was our first time sitting in the River Room. It was cozy and intimate but I think it needs more decoration to live up to the rest of the restaurant.
