Sat down to eat at 7:30pm on a Sunday. The place was mildly packed, but not too busy at the time. Ordered the lamb shank and salmon fillet. Our waitress Aya was AWESOME. We asked for some modifications to the dishes and the river room team executed it perfectly. Couldn't ask for better service and a more flavourful meal. Thank you so much for making our night pleasant.

We had a perfect dinner at The River Room — everything from the ambiance to the food was exceptional, but what truly made the night unforgettable was our waitress, Harmony. She was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Her thoughtful recommendations and genuine kindness elevated the entire experience. You can tell she truly cares about her guests. We left feeling so well taken care of. Thank you, Harmony, for making our night so special!

I had not been to the river room because it's hidden inside the Double Tree Hotel right on riverside drive and didn't know if it's existence. We came for a birthday dinner (family of 7), and i was beyond impressed with this restaurant for their menu filled with great options, from margarita pizza to lamb shank and pasta dishes in between. We were able to bring our own cake and the our server Aya was very sweet and patient with all of us. The atmosphere was wonderful with the view of the river. We've already booked two dates ahead for our future celebrations.

Had a great experience at the River-Room Restaurant for Easter Brunch. Our waitress, Harmony, was fantastic—super friendly and attentive. She made sure we had everything we needed and checked in on us regularly. The food was delicious, with a good selection of brunch items. Harmony’s recommendations were spot on. I was a big fan of the carrot cake that they offered. The atmosphere inside was inviting and had such a nice view of the river making it a perfect spot for a special meal. Highly recommend!

Really upset how they cancelled Holiday dinner plans less than four days before the holiday. They had advertised Sunday Easter buffet dinner in multiple media sources, and my family and I were highly excited to have our holiday meal here. They did not have enough reservations to keep the buffet dinner promise open, so they cancelled with no where for us to turn. They offered to find a spot in the afternoon for brunch, but had I wished that, I would have booked brunch. First impressions mean a lot, and I will not be giving them a chance for my business again. The word of mouth praise will be simply how they left myself and I am assuming others screwed for holiday plans. If buffet was not in budget, perhaps they could have arranged for standard and limited meals for this situation. Sometimes the door closes on you for a reason and I do believe this was true here.

I decided to visit the restaurant after taking a mosaic lamp design class across the hall. The amazing smells lingering in the hall pulled me in. The waitress was sweet and patient as she waited to take my order. The menu has many great items and I was being indecisive. I give my appetizer, meal and drinks a 10 across the board. I’m excited to head back to Windsor to try more items off their menu.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at River Room to celebrate my mother’s 50th birthday, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. The ambiance was beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious and well worth the price, and the view was simply stunning a perfect setting for such a special occasion.
We were a large party of 25, and while coordinating a group that size can be challenging, most of the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and comfortable. Mamoud was especially kind and pleasant to speak with. He took the time to calmly explain everything regarding our reservation and was incredibly understanding, making the experience feel warm and personal. Our servers were also fantastic; friendly, professional, and always smiling. Their attentive and polite service added so much to the evening.
That said, I did have a less-than-pleasant interaction with Harjeet, who called me an overwhelming number of times prior to the event, pressuring me to pre-order for the entire group. At one point, he even stated that if I didn’t, our reservation would be canceled. His reasoning was that the staff’s convenience should come before the customers’ something that felt off-putting , frustrating and unprofessional. Thankfully, Mamoud reassured me and made it clear that while pre-ordering was appreciated, it was not mandatory. His respectful approach was a stark contrast to Harjeet’s, and I’m truly grateful for that.
In the end, aside from that fuss, the River Room staff made my mom’s birthday celebration feel special and memorable. I highly recommend this place for its great service, excellent food, and unbeatable views. I just hope you get Mamoud instead of Harjeet when you call for such a big party.

Guru makes a mean Classic Canadian Smoked Old Fashioned! Chose this restaurant for convenience and appreciated it more than the Keg next door. Great view from the dining lounge too (even if it’s technically Detroit!). Good vibe!

Edit April 2025 Waiting bar tender doesn’t care waitress chatting now waited 35 months and no one in here???? The new menu is missing hamburgers and I’ve got pan. Your chicken and it was raw. I got sick at night. I go there all the time not impressed with any of it this time. I would still recommend as they have resolved my issue
Great food and service
