    Beautiful restaurant with nice ambiance, the perfect noise level, impeccable service. The food was amazing, the cocktails were made perfectly & they had a great wine by the glass list. Pricey but well worth it. Will definitely be back!

    The River House is the best restaurant I’ve been to in Nashville – and as a local, that says a lot! The wedge salad was picture perfect and absolutely to die for. The Hemingway? Perfection. Every side was incredible. If you want an unforgettable meal, this is the place. Highly recommend!

    If you visit Nashville, and don't eat at The River House, you're missing one of Nashville's best restaurants. Simply put - Outstanding!! Too bad they don't have a Houston location.

    Excellent restaurant - have eaten there several times and would highly recommend it, as I think it is one of Nashville's most outstanding restaurants.

    Wonderful food. Service was unfortunately mediocre. Had to ask three times for sauce for my filet. Nevertheless, an outstanding restaurant with live piano on weekends.
