one of the loveliest places I have ever seen. the owner is absolutely beyond gorgeous and the whole place is wonderful vibes and cute.
We had our first meal at The Riverworks tonight and it was DELICIOUS! The meals were impeccable, and every time someone else’s food went past our table we said, “That looks SO GOOD!”. The staff were wonderful and attentive. It was so clean inside. And the food…. Ohmygoodness. Just go there now!
Riverworks is the best overall restaurant in Newmarket. Marcy and Scott are experts in their craft, and care about their patrons! Their staff is happy because they feel appreciated by ownership and that is everything in a small restaurant business.
