“We had our book club here and it was fantastic. The upstairs room is so beautiful and stylish. The food was DELICIOUS and very unique. Highly recommend the biscuit flight and whipped ricotta. Cocktails were fresh takes on old classics. Staff was very gracious. I can’t wait to come back for dinner!“

“We always have a nice time here! Food is always great. Tonight we were waited on by Ms. Amy. We hope we didn’t get her into trouble by roping her into conversation! But once we started talking about things we all had in common, it was hard to stop. She struck a great balance between efficiency and friendliness. We, of course, will be back as our trips to Rivers will now always include a yummy dinner at The Ritz first.“

“Wings wings wings utica club“

“Wow! What a busy night! These should be nothing but compliments for the staff, in the front of the house, and behind the scenes. It seems the autumn light show down the road has had quite an impact. We went on a whim, disregarded the suggested reservations, but were able take seats right away at the end of the bar. Best of both worlds....A little bit of patio atmosphere and dining room comfort as the temperatures began to drop. And a glimpse at the extra hard work involved this evening. Praises to Jennifer as she greeted us, offered us something to drink, and advised us if we were ordering there would be an extended wait, (a large number of parties, and parties with a large number of people, seem to have arrived all at once). She said she would rather be up front with people than to have them disappointed with a wait. The expected delay was explained to every party that entered following us It was amazing to watch the coordinated efforts of the three waitresses working as a team. There was no time for idle chit chat while disregarding the needs of customers, but there was still time for smiles and laughter. Work behind the counter was fast, deliberate, efficient and the customers had no sense of stress or overwhelm. Each interaction I overheard was friendly and attentive. Another thing that I was impressed with, especially sitting at a bar, is that with an extended wait, those who were drinking, alcoholic beverages , were not pushed or encouraged to purchase more than usual to fill the time. Therefore the environment around us remained the same. Our meals came in the time projected, (mine a crock of french onion soup and my husband, a Roadhouse burger with onion rings.) Each item as tasty as we have come to expect. I just wanted to take a minute and thank everyone for an enjoyable evening.“

“Been coming here since before they changed ownership. They maintained the charm of the bar while adding some much needed upgrades. Food is great, drinks are cold and affordable. All the bartenders I've encountered have been friendly and make an effort to get to know you.“

“serving staff was excellent with kids' service. The space allowed for movement, standing. Tables are spread apart. Was comfortable and friendly. Pizza was very good, crispy pan crust.“
