amazing coffes and delicious food!

We had the very best time checking out the Riv. My kids and I stopped by just before close and they couldn’t have been more gracious about letting us stay late and offered the full menu. Genuinely the best chicken and biscuits I’ve had in the northwest. The service was above and beyond, the atmosphere was so chic, and the food was easily the best I’ve had since moving to the gorge! We’ll be back many many times to our new favorite place.

Excellent food, unique setting
Our first time visiting on our way to Boise/ Twin Falls, Idaho!
Loved the bagels, salmon- Lox and eggs!👍👍
