So when we needed a dinner location in the Brick, I figured we would try this location. Upon my early arrival, I was seated in the west facing room with ample natural light. There was only one other table of "early birds" nearby and they were loud but entertaining. Our waitress greeted me and brought some water and an ice bucket. I perused the menu while waiting for my friends. To my delight, this place is MUCH larger than Manahawkin. There are at least three rooms. Regardless, by the time we left, it was very busy. reservations are highly recommended. When my friends arrived, our waitress reviewed the menu additions. We decided on the oysters, octopus, arugula salad and the cod special. Everything was excellent. Service and pace were perfect. Plates promptly cleared, bread replentished. We shared a tiramisu and I had a double expresso. We will definitely return. I will take some photos on my next visit.

Not good. Service was okay, but very slow (waitress apologized for that). On a more positive note, our shared garden salad and my broiled seafood combo were both alright.

The restaurant was packed on a Monday night, which was probably a good sign for what led to a delicious meal. I really enjoyed the roasted oysters topped with yummy breadcrumbs. My daughter enjoyed a sushi appetizer and wedge salad with blackened tuna that she claimed was delicious as well. Our other dinner partner enjoyed his halibut. I really loved the show-stopping, gigantic jumbo lump crab meat risotto. It was very filling, but super delicious. The food was rich and, in some ways, basic, but executed perfectly. I added some of the street corn and that really made things even better get this dish. You won't be disappointed. The atmosphere was busy, if not hectic. Our table was in the middle of the room, next to a large family with little kids. One was seven months old and the other was two. That seemed like a bit much for a dinner with these price points. It's not an inexpensive restaurant and certainly not a family-vibe Houlihan's. We had mixed feelings about the atmosphere, but I kind of thought it was cool--a really pretty building with some rustic charm.

If you want business and your staff to work - I'm sad to say they turned down a nice group of 30-50 year olds ON A MONDAY (which is huge for us). Lackluster. Lazy. Underwhelming.

We grabbed a shaded outdoor table overlooking the water after ~30-minute wait. The meal started off strong with the sushi. The Route 70 Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll were both fresh, flavorful, and easily the highlights of our visit. On the drink side, we tried a featured mojito special that sounded refreshing but ultimately missed the mark. It lacked the bright, crisp flavor we were hoping for on a warm summer day. Unfortunately, the biggest letdown was the Tropical Seafood Boat. While the presentation is impressive, arriving inside a hollowed-out pineapple, the food itself didn't live up to the visual appeal. The sauce was surprisingly thin and soupy, overpowering the seafood rather than enhancing it. The coconut rice was also confusing. Instead of a coconut-infused rice, it appeared to be wild rice topped with coconut shavings. Overall, River Rock's strengths are the waterfront setting and relaxed atmosphere. We'd happily return for drinks by the water and stick with the restaurant's simpler offerings like sushi, sandwiches, or pizza.
