The food and atmosphere during our latest visit to New Rivers were both excellent, as expected. It was the service that really stood out on this visit. When we arrived, the hostess kindly made sure we sat at the table she selected for us, rather than the bar as we requested, because she selected the best table in the restaurant for us. From there, our server struck the perfect tone. Warm, hospitable, discreet, and attentive, she made sure that we were able to keep the night about us, rather than her service. She seemed to anticipate our needs, never interrupting at an awkward moment or lingering too long. We enjoyed a leisurely, intimate meal gazing at the city's twinkling lights. The food was, as always, excellent, a wonderful expression of seasonal New England fare, presented artfully. My favorites were the pumpkin hummus with crunchy root vegetables, which a perfectly refreshing, sensual way to start the meal. The scallops were also great, presented with a knockout green sauce and some perfectly-cooked potatoes and green beans. Highly recommended - get a reservation, skip lunch, invite the best conversationalists you know and tuck in for a great meal.

Warm and cozy with excellent service, we loved our first visit to New Rivers. I've never seen bone marrow on a menu and absolutely loved it. Scallops were an unusual presentation. an oh yeah, best pommes frites around.
Everything worked. Our dinner for two was wonderful. We were happy.

One of our most favorite spots. The menu is curated from local/seasonal bests—elevating fresh and simple to elegant. All of the employees are excellent representatives of owners and culture—fun energy and enthusiastic service. Can’t wait to be back. PS if you are lucky enough to see the vanilla bean and coffee panacotta, save room!!

Phenomenal pork chop tenderloin, full stop! Don't mess around, someone at the table should get this dish. We had the scallops and the sea Bass as well, the pork chop is a level above these dishes.
Smoky char, tender, juicy, and you must dip in the sauce on the plate to get the full experience. This is a must have entree at The New Rivers restaurant.
Baked Alaska was good and we enjoyed the Corn cake with corn ice cream.

We walked in and immediately loved this place -- the host, server, and busser we're all fantastic, and both the roast half chicken and burger were excellent, as was the profiterole. Just a delight to be here -- thank you!

Food was ok but nothing special. Place was very loud you couldn’t even have a conversation. The service was great but couldn’t wait to leave due to the noise volume. Not a place that I would come back to.
A great small French style cafe with excellent food. We celebrated a graduation and enjoyed the atmosphere.

We have been a couple of times since our daughter started school at PC. Everything has been to die for and the service and ambience is impeccable. Truly a great dining experience.
