The Scene<br />
The River Room offers outstanding food<br />
and service in a stunning space with<br />
fabulous views of the The Forks of the<br />
Thames and the old courthouse. Jess<br />
Jazey-Spoelstra’s sophisticated design<br />
sensibility is reflected in the cuisine as<br />
well as the stylish and relaxed interior.<br />
The ambience is warm and friendly,<br />
with glass, leather and linen textural<br />
elements. The dining room features an<br />
attractive curved bar at the entrance.<br />
Beautiful photos pay homage to the<br />
owners’ days in New York City.<br />
Menu Highlights<br />
At lunch, Chef’s features include a Pastrami Reuben sandwich — essential New<br />
York deli — with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, Russian dressing and crispy dills. East<br />
Coast Lobster Roll with celery, scallion, mayo and topsider bun quickly became<br />
a signature dish. House Cured Smoked Salmon with two potato latkes, crème<br />
fraîche and fried capers is a classic, or try the Warm Goat Cheese & Caramelized<br />
Onion Tart with seasonal greens. The Vegan Buddah Bowl includes rice noodles,<br />
Thai peanut sauce, pickled vegetables, sesame, cucumbers,and avocado.<br />
Both locations take dessert offerings to a whole new level. Decadent<br />
Chocolate Cake with fudge frosting and Carrot Cake with cream cheese<br />
icing are beautifully executed. Try the River Room’s signature Vanilla Bean<br />
Crème Brûlée and the Rhino’s Brookies<br />
(brownie meets cookie). Cronut Thursdays<br />
draws devotees to the Rhino for the latest<br />
interpretation of this croissant-donut<br />
delicacy. Also recommended are the Rhino’s<br />
vegan offerings, including Mac ’n Cheese,<br />
Sausage Rolls, Cheesecake and Dutchies.<br />
The River Room has over a dozen<br />
dishes on the Brunch prix fixe menu ($27),<br />
including a classic Cobb Salad with grilled<br />
chicken, bacon, blue cheese, hard-boiled<br />
egg and chopped tomato & cucumbers.<br />
