    Vegan Saute
    J G.

    I ordered 2 of the vegan sautes for myself. Food was tasty, service was good, environment very nice, but the portion for a plant based dish was not filling at all. I ordered 2 of the same entree for myself and I am still hungry 20 minutes after finishing. I am not an overly large fellow as well. Some restaurants tend to have a disconnect and don't seem to understand that vegan food is less calorically dense or filling vs animal based foods. To compensate for this fact a restaurant can easily serve larger portions, or perhaps add beans/lentils to dishes to make them filling. Even with a larger portion plant based dishes are far less expensive to make vs animal based meals so there's not really any good reason to not make portions larger/add a protein of some kind.

    Came by for a nice dinner while spending time in Grants Pass. I can see how this place likely thrives in the warmer weather. Their patio overlooks the beautiful river but sadly wasn't open when we dined. I ordered the seafood pasta and my husband had the Filet Oscar. I was pretty let down by the pasta. It says it comes with four cheese cream sauce but it was more like a white wine sauce and was pretty bland. There was a good amount of seafood though. I tried my husband's steak and it was very good. The mashed potatoes with the béarnaise sauce were soooo good. Steak was like butter and they put plenty of crab on top. Our waitress was really sweet and attentive. I think her name was Kaitlyn?? But overall a good time.

    The food was amazing, service was optimal and the ambiance was breathtaking with the river running right below us. We go here to celebrate our special achievements as a couple and treat our grandchildren when they come from out of state.

    A friend of mine told me to check this restaurant out. We went for a late lunch/early dinner. We weren't disappointed. We sat outside overlooking the reiver. Although it was a little warm, the views were beautiful. Our servers were friendly and checked back on us often. We split a wedge salad which was huge and had calamari and pork belly appetizers. All of it was delicious and beatituflly presented. As we left, it looked like a couple of musicians were setting up to provide live entertainment. If I ever go back to the area, I will definitely go back.

    We were looking for a good dinner spot for out son's birthday and the positive reviews pointed us toward this restaurant. We made reservations for an outside table and that definitely was the right move, as they had a guitarist playing some good background tunes and river sound was setting the mood. We were waited on by Danielle who was just absolutely lovely, she gave great recommendations and was the absolutely appropriate amount of attentiveness. My wife some rosé drink and I got a smoked old fashioned that was definitely not skimpy on the alcohol. We also got the melt in your mouth pork belly appetizer and some calamari which were delicious. I got the duck confit and my wife got the lamb which had a middle eastern flavor profile that was spicy and saucy, and was my favorite bite of the night. We felt really well taken care of and I'm jealous that the Grants Pass area has so many culinary gems in one location! I'm happy to have come here and would gladly come back if I was in the area again.

    Halibut jerky with pea's (not capers lol dried up old peas)

    First I will say our service was very good with one exception. If I saw a patron that literally did not touch their entire plate of food I would definitely ask why? We were a party of 6 ~ 4 adults and 2 children. We ordered 4 appetizers. Calamari, steamers and ahi tuna all were good. Then dinner. A huge disappointment. 2 prime rib dinners, one crab dinner, which were just ok, wouldn't order again. Ribeye was the only entree that was flavorful and cooked perfectly. But... The halibut special was the worst meal I've had out in decades. Halibut over jasmine rice with a roasted corn and pea's with a beurre blanc sauce. The hailbut was the thinnest chinskyest dried out piece of fish jerky, completely inedible and the pea's you can see in the photo are dried and hard and the rice was like unseasoned cream of wheat and the beurre blanc was broken. The only good thing on the plate was the crispy prosciutto. $500 for a few decent appetizers and a ribeye was clearly not what we had anticipated. Sadly I don't think I'll be back anytime soon.

    Great stop for a nice lunch on the long drive to California. It is a little bit off the highway, but easy to get to.

    Rivers Edge is located in an amazingly beautiful area along the river, offering three-tiered outdoor seating so one can dine while enjoying nature. They even offer propane heaters to keep you warm and a dining area for those who include their K9 companions in their travels. The attention and kindness they gave to my German Shepherd was very much appreciated! Word of advice: please only bring your dog if they are OBEDIENT- Don't ruin it for the rest of us. Now, the meals. The menu is not extensive- it is not fast-food, nor will you find burgers and fries here. However you will find your meals are specially prepared to perfection, fit for royalty and are delightful to the palate. Rivers Edge is definitely a "dining experience" to be enjoyed leisurely so that you can take in all the beauty of your meal. I'd definitely recommend.

    Such a fun place and so beautiful. I'm so happy I spent Easter here . Great dinner and brunch spot .

    Fish (Halibut) and sweet potato fries

    Beautiful riverfront location with a relaxing vibe. Booking through OpenTable was quick and easy, and the service was excellent. The Halibut Fish and Chips (with sweet potato fries) was crisp and well-seasoned, and the fish tacos were fresh and flavorful. I'd gladly come back to try more dishes.

    Is Outdoor Dining Dog Friendly?

    I did see a dog when I was outdoor dining and they had a dog dish of water for him/her... I'd call to be sure tho' getting through by phones hard. Could be on their website.

    Need reservation's Saturday Christmas Eve?

    Most definitely YES

    Is there indoor dining tonight?

    Unfortunately there is not, the rules have just changed and it's outdoor dining. We ate outside 2 days ago and it was beautiful, hope this helps

    Decent steak dinner. I ordered the oysters Rockefeller…read moreappetizer special and the value was definitely there with the four large oysters and creamy herbed topping; the hollandaise sauce, however, either curdled and went back to separated butter or was very very plain. I asked whether a mistake was made and butter was served instead, and turned out the hollandaise was just very subtle that day. I ordered the 16 oz Delmonico cut and the server recommended that one to be cooked to medium rare temp as opposed to rare because of how fatty the cut is and I'm glad I listened to Marci. There are no-cost toppings you can add and I selected the blue cheese compounded butter one and I'm glad I did. The special side that day was mashed red potatoes and I enjoyed how generous the serving was but I found them under seasoned. The steak was good. Maybe $50 good; I'd definitely melt but another cut next time that works well with the rare temp. The tiramisu dessert was divine and the texture and taste of the mascarpone mousse made up for the bland hollandaise from earlier. I ordered a side Ceasar and it was alright; really wish there was an option to add a steak onto the Ceasar salad entrée.

The sandwich was cut in half with smashed burger meat overflowing past the bread. It was glorious. The part of the plate that wasn't dominated by melty goodness was filled with with well-seasoned and crisp homemade fries. I could smell how delicious everything was the moment the moment the plate was set down in front of me. Flavor & texture of all the things exceeded expectations. The patty melt had layers of crispy fried onions that made for a lovely and tasty first-bite surprise, & continued to bring joy with each subsequent bite. Every there was incredibly nice and friendly. Dining there was so easy and lovely. Would love to come back the next time we pass through!

We had the two specials: my wife had the rib eye steak and I had the cioppino. The steak was served with a blue cheese butter, asparagus and mashed potatoes. The steak was so tender you could cut it with a fork. Truly delicious. I like to think of myself as a cioppino snob as it is one of my favorite meals and I've had it at restaurants all over the world. I must say Carson's recipe is superb. His broth has subtle flavors of tarragon and fennel. He adds sole, blue crab and shrimp for the protein. It's truly outstanding and one the best I've had. Jolie is not only the hostess, but also the waitress and pastry chef. She's charming and really fun to talk to. She let us sample some of the full-bodied red wines as well as a nice Petite Syrah. She also enticed us to try her peanut butter shortbread dessert. It melted in your mouth. The restaurant decor is charming and cozy. It makes for a very intimate setting and Jolie and Carson makes it feel like your having dinner with good friends. Still the best restaurant in Grants Pass.
