    Seared Diver Scallops
    Donald B.

    River Grille is a great place for a meal, a drink or both. Decided to go back here since it had been awhile. We were greeted by the maître d and seated immediately. The restaurant is very inviting with a great retro feel. We were seated in the front room and brought water immediately. Next our waiter came and after some pleasant conversation, he took our drink order. He told us about the nightly specials when he brought our drinks back, which were delicious. I ordered a house salad and the Diver Scallops. The food was exceptionally prepared and scrumptious. I can't say enough how attentive the entire staff is, especially our waiter Matt. 5 Stars for sure. I highly recommend this restaurant. Have to come back more often.

    Super cute place, clean and pretty. Staff was nice. Came here for lunch after going to crayola experience. It is walking distance. They had changing table in the bathrooms too. Super baby friendly. Had a kids menu with the typicals. Ordered butter pasta for my child and she loved it. Also shared a margarita pizza and burger which was delicious. Especially the pizza. Super well made.

    Great looking place, friendly & helpful staff. Went for restaurant week and the food options we picked (calamari, mango salad, shrimp & biscuits, ribeye, pork chop, short ribs, desserts) were all excellent. Cocktails were also excellent. Will definitely come again. One suggestion is that one of our diners is pre-diabetic and wanted a sugar free dessert and they couldn't accommodate, not even a sorbet...

    Nice restaurant and friendly staff. Close to the crayola experience so we came here for dinner afterwards. Cute spot and good food. Would recommend.

    First visit to Easton PA and this was a great choice! There are a lot of restaurants to choose from so it can be hard to pick one when you may not be coming here on a regular basis. Reading all the other Yelp reviews I had a feeling this would be a great choice for a casual lunch. They are located in the historic district, nice large space, slightly worn looking so I took 1 star away for decor/ambience. They have a full bar, beer, liquor and wine selection, the food we ordered was excellent, the restaurant was clean, has outside dining, they were very well staffed, everyone was very polite and Ava, our waitress was very nice and super-efficient! She was really accommodating and I hope the owners read this. She made everyone feel very comfortable, was genuine, interacted in our best interest and took her time. She should definitely be concerned for management if that is the path she wants to take. Prices were fair, quality of the food was high and I really did not have much to find fault with. We started with some drinks, a glass of white sangria and 2 Sunday Morning cocktails which were good. For starters we had the Apple Baby salad, Lobster Bisque soup, the spring rolls and coconut shrimp. In my opinion the salad and Lobster Bisque soups were the best. I am not a fan of fried food so the other two dishes were not my choice. Our appetizers came out very quickly, so I was glad I held off ordering the entrees. The restaurant inside was fairly empty. The outside seating was packed as it was a beautiful day and everyone wanted to watch the bike race. We were not rushed at all, although I did read another review that said they are so super-efficient that it can seem rushed. For entrees we had the Salmon, the scallops and the Sesame Tuna. I will say entrees were really great. The Sesame Tuna really stood out and was bursting with flavor. It was cooked perfectly, rare inside as expected, the wasabi mashed potatoes had great flavor and had a kick which tickled my nose. The julienne vegetables had a nice Asian flavor. We did not have desert, although it looked great as we wanted to go to Mia & Maddie's bakery about 2 blocks away. I would recommend River Grille and think they have a great thing going.

    Mussels

    River Grille was such a great restaurant I'm so happy we stopped in randomly! Kylee was our pleasant and friendly server giving great recommendations which we appreciated. Starters: fried calamari and mussels.. the sauce the mussels were soaking in was soooo delicious I recommend them highly. I didn't think they were spicy but I suppose if you have no spice tolerance then maybe they'd be considered slightly spicy but truly mild. Calamari was also really good and came with two sauces. Entrees: the crusted salmon with mushroom risotto was great because the portion was really large. The sauce was flavorful as well. Another great choice. Dessert: lava cake which takes 10-15min to bake was rich, warm, and made in house. Drinks: the ginger 75 was their take on the French 75. The ginger was not too overpowering and the martini was delicious. The cranberry gimlet was our favorite it was better than we expected! Great food, great options for all taste buds, and wonderful service. Highly recommend.

    Filet mignon
    Brad P.

    Extra, extraordinary service, and food! We sat at the bar and Kaitlyn (sp?) advised us on extraordinary drinks and a wonderful meal. We had apple salad, ahi tuna and filet mignon as entrees, then finished off with sorbet. Everything is literally perfect! If you agree, please consider buying a six pack for the kitchen as we did.

    Micks' Grill

    Food was great! Had Micks' grill (vegetable entree) and it was delicious! Great service and atmosphere.

    House Salad

    My wife and I were there for Restaurant Week. I forgot to post the review. Our food was fantastic as always. River Grille has consistently had great food and great service. Our food was cooked to perfection and tasted even better. We highly recommend this establishment if you are in the area.

    Breakfast at Billy's Diner is an upscale diner experience. My husband chose this restaurant and it…read morewas an excellent choice. I order chicken and waffles. The chicken crunchy chunky breading was perfect, the waffles slightly golden. The syrup is corn syrup free, it's house-made vanilla bean syrup. Very tasty with the chicken and waffles. My husband ordered fresh harvest hash and enjoyed it but thought is could could use more bacon. Just note although Easton is known for on street parking, there is a parking garage literally right nextdoor as I am disabled this made parking simple. The bathroom is ADA compliant and it smelled and looked clean.

    If I could give zero stars, I would, and that's entirely because of the hostess (who appeared to…read morepossibly be a manager or owner). I had an 11AM reservation for two. When I arrived I stood near the hostess stand since there wasn't much space due to others waiting. The hostess looked directly at me, so I began to give my name and mentioned the reservation. Her immediate response: "umm, what?" Assuming it was just loud, I repeated myself and clarified, "for two." She snapped back, "the 9 top?" I said, "no, just two." That earned me an eye roll and a "just hold on" before she walked away. No acknowledgment, no basic courtesy, just attitude. A few minutes later, she returned with a flat "come this way," and started walking to a table. I let that entire interaction go, assuming it was just a chaotic, loud brunch rush. My friend arrived shortly after, and we waited about 15-20 minutes with no menus or server. Not ideal, but manageable. We were catching up. When our waitress did come over, she was great. Super friendly, attentive, and the only reason this experience wasn't a complete loss. Food came out quickly, and overall we were there for about an hour, which is completely reasonable for brunch. Then the hostess made sure to leave a lasting impression. The second our plates were cleared, she reappeared, dropped the check on the table with a sharp "here," and walked away. No check-in, no "how was everything," no offer for another coffee; just a not-so-subtle message that our time was up. We left it there and continued talking while finishing our drinks. A few minutes later, she came back and said, "ladies, I really need this table.. you need to leave, I have a huge wait." There's efficient table management, and then there's whatever that was. We had been there just over an hour, while other tables around us had clearly been seated longer. If the goal was to move guests along, mission accomplished, but at the cost of any professionalism or basic hospitality. It was, without exaggeration, one of the most unnecessarily rude and poorly handled interactions I've had in a restaurant. Not rushed, but dismissed. As we walked out there was one couple standing there waiting. I looked around the corner to see if there was anyone else waiting- there wasn't. Food was fine- forgettable, honestly. And with that kind of front-of-house experience, there's absolutely no reason to come back.

    I decided to return to Surv in Easton which I hadn't been to in over 5 years. The restaurant is…read moresmartly decorated and welcoming. You wouldn't know it was in a mall from the inside. They specialize in wood-fired pizza we but decided to order entrees instead. A waiter brought water right after we were seated and then ordered drinks. A waitress came with our drinks and took our food order. She was very nice. We both ordered the Baby Greens salad and Filet Mignons. The salads were very fresh and had candied walnuts, blueberries and mandarin oranges in them. These were really delicious. The Filets came with potato gratin and vegetable sides. The steaks were cooked perfectly, juicy and flavorful. I also enjoyed the potato side, but not so much the vegetables. Overall the food was fantastic and the service just as good. I will definitely be coming back.

    SURV Restaurant Group Dinner Experience Background…read moreOur Over-55 Community organizes monthly dinners as a way to bring residents together and foster a sense of camaraderie. For this month's gathering, we selected SURV restaurant as our venue, and arrangements for the group dinner were made more than two months in advance. The planning process included coordination with Janet, SURV's Event Coordinator, and our latest communication with her took place just two days prior to the scheduled event. Arrival and Reservation Issues Upon arrival at SURV for our group dinner, we were unexpectedly informed by the restaurant staff that there was no reservation under our name and that they had no record of any group booking. Despite presenting evidence of our communications--including emails and text messages the staff maintained that our reservation did not exist. Interaction with Management During this confusion, a woman named Carol, who identified herself as the owner, intervened. Carol reiterated that there was no reservation for our group and stated that the restaurant could not and would not serve us. When confronted with our documentation, she insisted that it was not the restaurant's responsibility and declined to accommodate our party, even though the restaurant was empty at the time. Her attitude was described as abusive and condescending, and she subsequently left the scene by retreating to a back room. Reflection on the Experience While it is understandable that communication errors can occur, we expected a reputable establishment to acknowledge the issue and make an effort to resolve it. Instead, the management's response was marked by arrogance and condescension, which was disappointing and unacceptable. Furthermore, we have since heard similar stories from others regarding the management at SURV, which lends credibility to rumors of financial instability within the restaurant. Community Response As a result of this experience, our community--which consists of approximately 450 homes located within three miles of the restaurant--will no longer consider SURV for future events nor will we grace the establishment.
