Patrons dine on dressed-up American fare while enjoying views of Manhattan from the dining room or outdoor patio; also late-night lounge.
its ok you pay for the atmosphere and not the food you get.

sometimes i go there and its a great expereince, other times i go and the service is slow. The strip steak is horrible. some of the food on the menu is good but the prices are too much,. portions are small but the prices are hight, thats because you pay for the ambeince and now what u actually get on ur plate.
THere a guy at the front i guess shes the host, i think he has glasses i really dont think he knows what hes doing, never greets us never says anything, i dont know its wierd i cant explain it.
um also went o was inquring about having a party there just to see what it would cost. its like $85 for the food and extra $50 a person for open bar...SO RIDICULOUS
one day i asked for water and they bring me water that they ended up charging me at the end withouth me knowing it, its was ridiculous..
so conlusion the area is nice and all some of their food is good, but the service can be slow, the portions are small and the prices are up there for sure. with this recession that is a BIG NO NO THANKS
- Pros: restaurant is nice, outdoors is nice, food is ok
- Cons: too pricey, small portions expensive prices, service slow
Great Place for a Wedding
by JoeHorowqitz at Citysearch
What a fantastic restaurant – from the owner, manager, assistant manager, bartenders, hostess and staff – we had an amazing experience for our wedding! The owner is a masterful planner and took all the worry of planning off our hands. The food was exceptional and we had almost everything on the menu from chicken, fish, to my favorite, the filet mignon – it all measures up to the finest served in Manhattan. Riverview has a tasty drink menu as well – try the mojitos. To top it all off, the location is perfectly situated on the water which allows for a view Manhattan that can not be rivaled. Thank you Riverview for making our wedding such an amazing experience; one which we will forever be thankful to you for.
- Pros: Food, staff, location, drinks
- Cons: None
Trendy Long Island City
by Samedaycmw at Citysearch
A large room with good ambiance where the feel is comfortable. The menu seems to fit everyones taste with prices that don't necersarly dictate whate u might order. The entrees were excellent. Avoid the soup and deserts--- overpriced and nothing to rave about.Over all a good deal east of the east river!!
- Pros: No need 2 go to Manhatten
- Cons: Dimly Lit and Techno Music
