    Lots of people eat here just for the experience…. And rightly so! It is quirky and fun but we have eaten here a number of times with many different people and the food is always really good… just keep in mind that fresh tomatoes in the winter aren’t great. Wished I had ordered the beet salad rather than the Victor salad.

    First, 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.

    Boyfriend and I went and split three dishes, which came recommended from a server. Onion soup, warm shrimp salad, and the steak frites. Everything was fantastic. We ordered our steak medium, and it came out very medium rare. Our server returned it, the manager came out and apologized. They returned with a corrected steak and more frites. Definitely recommend eating the frites with the steak in one bite. Good one their own but together- chef’s kiss! All of the food was incredible, and felt like we were back in Paris for an hour. Only critique would be for the bread to come warm to the table, or the butter to be softened so it could easily spread on the bread.

    Bottom line: will be back. Not the only BYOB around with this level of quality and price, but very good food and a welcome addition to the scene. We went on a Friday night and the atmosphere was boisterous. Had to shout a little to talk and the staff had a good, friendly attitude but they seemed pretty hurried. Good for starting a fun night if that’s your vibe, but definitely a bit more chaotic feel than some places. Had the pork chop special, the paccheri with duck ragu and crème brûlée cheesecake. All were great.
