    Burger and a view

    The Burger is killer. Excellent service. View is Awesome... (I needed to type more words to get make it post......)

    Chicken fried steak and eggs
    Manuel C.

    The service was very slow as I waited 20 minutes before a waitress ever came to my table. I actually had to track someone down to ask if I was going to be waited on. Only had my coffee refilled a few times because she didn't check on me often. I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs. I've eaten many chicken fried steaks as I like to compare them. This was one of the worst. Usually, the steak is so tender that you don't even need a knife to cut it, but this wasn't the case. It was very small and very thick. I had to ask for a steak knife, which they didn't provide, but should have asked for a chainsaw. The gravy was ok, but the steak itself didn't have much flavor. The hashbrowns were a little overcooked but not bad. Overall, I was disappointed.

    Cobb salad

    We stayed at the casino for the free RV parking. I'm not much of a gambler, so we always get dinner and/or breakfast. This restaurant is appears elegant, and overall it's like a decent chain restaurant. I wouldn't make it a romantic spot, and the view of the valley and ocean sunset was tainted by the gas station. The food was good. We had a cobb salad, which included a perfectly grilled chicken breast and generous portions of everything, including avocado. Along with that we orded the tomato soup with cheesy bread. The bread was like a mini pizza and went very well with the soup. The soup itself is chunky, like they take a tomato base and add in blended veggies. It was good and overall the two items made for a satisfying meal for two. Their in-house IPA is decent

    Perfect place to grab a bite and take little break from our road trip. Staff was very polite and got us seated promptly. Our table had a nice view of their little town showing signs of growth. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak with a side of pancakes and Eggs Benedict for her. For those taking a road trip on 101 and are passing thru, I highly recommend it. Especially for those with RVs looking for a place to park their rig.

    I don't usually frequent this restaurant, just because im not a huge fan of the casino, but they were having a special for Burger Week. Here in Humboldt, during Burger Week, lots of local spots have specialty burgers, and the North Coast Journal publishes the details. My husband was intrigued by the specialty burger the River's Edge restaurant had. It had bacon, brie cheese, and some kind of pepper jelly. The flavors together were phenomenal. While I can't much speak for their regular fare, this casino restaurant knocked this specialty burger out of the park.

    $7.50 for a sub-par half slice of cheese cake that tastes store brought.
    Preethi N.

    I was having a very intense dessert craving so I decided to give River's Edge a chance. I ordered tiramisu and cheesecake. The prices were incredibly high but I was under the impression that the portion might be large. Let me say--I was shocked by the portion and taste. When you pay $7.50 for a slice of tiramisu--you expect something decently portioned and flavorful. I was very let down as it tasted like it was a regular store brought tiramisu with a somewhat stale aftertaste? The cheese cake was also $7.50 but the slice was smaller than my hand. The taste was nothing special either, it tasted like the banquet brand cheese cake. With $9.00 I could have gotten a significantly better cheesecake slice. I don't think I'll be heading back to this restaurant until prices are reevaluated.

    Fried Avacado... tasteless with a tasty dipping sauce... mostly edible.. not great...
    Elizabeth C.

    Heard about the new remodel.. heard the food was good.. They advertise Ocean View seating. The ocean is out there.... way WAY out there... but, I'm sorry, the restaurant overlooks the casino parking lot and the Pump and Play Gas Station... Brought my Husband for his Birthday and have never been more disappointed with a meal... We started with drinks... those were ok... nothing to write home about. We asked for water, which eventually arrived, but was served in glasses that smelled like a dirty dishwasher. My husband ordered the Fried Avacado appetizer... I got the Fried Mozerella. His appetizer was pretty tasteless except for a decent dipping sauce. At least his was edible! The Fried Mozerella was horrendous... It was SLABS of breaded Mozerella served over wet tomatoes... it was tasteless soggy and disgusting. I'm not one to send things back... but this, after just one bite.. I had to object! For entrees, I ordered the New York Strip, Medium.. my husband got the Lobster Ravioli... My steak came butterflied.. indicitive of someone who doesn't know how to cook a steak to temperature... and was VERY well done.. like.. shoe leather well done... I could barely cut it or chew it... My husband's Lobster Ravioli looked like lobster and smelled like lobster.. but he said it tasted of chewy clams... we're guessing they were frozen. He powered though a bit of his entree but, I just couldn't... I sent my entree back too.. at that point I was feeling sick to my stomach. The only saving grace to the meal was the non-discript, probably from a bag, salads... And I ate my husband's garlic bread.. since they never brought the bread that was supposed to come my entree. Our server tried.. I'll give him that. And the Restaurant Manger came over and asked if she could get me anything else.. but.. really? I couldn't stomach anything at that point! No offer of a free dessert or anything.. which I might have considered... But, when the check FINALLY came (seriously... you don't make dissatisfied people sit and stew for 25 to 30 minutes, adding insult to injury!) they'd only voided my entree... Not the Appetizer... I asked them to fix that.. they did... we paid and couldn't leave fast enough... Maybe the Pasta Bar they were having tonight would have been good... It smelled good... but, after watching the same 5 people stand there waiting for their food for 15 minutes, I'm guessing the wait would have pissed me off even IF the pasta was edible.. soooo...

I found this restauraunt on Yelp and we reserved it for my birthday dinner on a Saturday night. We sat by the window and had a beautiful view of the sunset and bay. Upon being seated we were served some bread with some whipped butter mixed with some sort of seafood I believed? I forgot, but the butter was delicious. Our first round of bread however, was average at best and was very dense and doughy. The next rounds of bread were significantly better though, so maybe there's an inconsistency with the way they bake their bread in-house. I ordered the seafood penne pasta and my boyfriend ordered the king salmon with risotto. Both were "specials" and were not on the menu. However after digging into reviews here, it seems they are not so much specials since both dishes have been served here for the past 7ish years. Seafood penne pasta: I would rate a 3/5, maybe a 2.5/5. The pasta itself was not al dente which was disappointing. The "star" of this dish was supposed to be the scallop, which was severely undercooked! It was super soft and mushy. The shrimp was alright...some were overcooked. The salmon was also dry. I think the only thing I really enjoyed was the mussels, clams, and the sauce. The sauce had some curry with a small kick to it. This dish was just okay. Escargot: We ordered as our appetizer, I'd give it a 3.5/5! The escargot was a little soft but paired wonderfully with the bread. Creme brûlée: 3/5. Our waitress kindly put a birthday candle on it for my birthday. :) I enjoyed it, and it was very custardy! The downside was that the sugar on top was too burnt. I can't speak much for my boyfriend's dish, I did have a bite of his salmon and it was alright, maybe a bit too salty. The service however was wonderful and our waitress was super kind and helpful. Maybe I would come back to try another dish if I'm back in the area.
