Our group was very satisfied. The interior was comfortable and clean. The service and food were excellent. The restaurant has ben privately owned for quite awhile, its great to see it still running well and popular.

The best meal we’ve had in the Tahoe area all week long. Just perfectly done — my halibut with tomato shallot sauce was out of this world. Going to try and make it at home, it was very impressive! The potatoes gratin were perfect, and the rosemary bread and butter was also divine. Thanks for feeding us so well on our honeymoon. 🥰

We had a good meal here other than one diner receiving chicken that was a bit dry. The server cooker placed that dish with another choice.

We came here on a Monday night and sat at the bar. Bartender recommended the lamb chops and they were 5/5. May be the best lamb chops I’ve ever had. Not that I have lamb a lot but there was really nothing left to be desired. Maybe the potatoes were a tad salty, but not too salty to where it was bothering me. Cook was done well - my wife got medium + and I asked for medium rare. This is the best food we’ve had in Lake Tahoe so far. Would definitely come back and get the lamb again.

Landed in this place for a date night dinner. This spot has the perfect vibe—an outdoor patio right on the Truckee River, live music, and super cute surroundings. We ordered a quite a bit of food, and most of it hit the mark. The tempura shrimp was light, crispy, and delicious. The seared tuna had a great portion but could’ve used more flavor—maybe a better sear. The lamb was tender and tasty, but the five small pieces left us wanting more. Then came the corn chowder, which was… milk and corn with a dry muffin. Definitely not chowder. Honestly, it should’ve been 86’d. Even with that one miss, we had an amazing evening. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and mostly solid food. Would come back for sure! ❤️
Excellent food and atmosphere. Great Halibut and desserts

We had such a special dinner at River Grill! Judy provided the best service, and spot on the river was lovely! Finish your dinner with the profiteroles!!

I appreciated having plant based options on the menu (there were 2 options). We had the portobello and quinoa and the halibut entrees and the pear salad and fried green beans. Everything was delicious. We ordered an Italian red wine ( the only old world wine on the menu), it was very nice. I would like to see more reasonably priced foreign wines on the menu, but that’s just my preference. The waiter was good but the bus service wasn’t very good; water glasses sat empty, had to ask for silverware after it was removed. Pretty location on the Truckee River, but it was kinda loud. The live music wasn’t the reason; people were just talking full volume, I guess you can’t do much about that!

Sited on the Truckee River where it flows into the Lake, with a Cozy interior ( yet not cramped ) with beautiful fireplace and fine table service (nod to Joshua, who was very engaging and attentive ) and EXCELLENT food and wine. My wife’s filet mignon was tender and done exactly as she requested, and My halibut was equally *Perfectly* done, tender and delicious! Recommend *River Grill* for friends night, Romantic evening/date, family dinner, post-graduation celebration or just a special dinner.
