I hosted a 70th birthday dinner here for my mother. The food and service were great! My mother was so pleased! Kati, the event coordinator, was a pleasure to work with and very responsive. I love that the restaurant has private event spaces upstairs away from the main area. I would definitely use them for future events.

We celebrated my birthday here and the atmosphere and service was great! The food was amazing, I had the filet which was made to my liking. I'd definitely come here again!

Fantastic atmosphere, perfect for an intimate dinner with friends or family. The Wagyu steak and Pork chops were cooked to perfection. The cocktail selection was excellent and you can’t go wrong with any of your choices. Associates were very attentive and provided above average service. It can get pricey, but well worth it in terms of quality and experience. Make sure to make a reservation ahead. Highly recommended for special occasions or a weekend dinner.

We have always had a great time visiting River Stone. The atmosphere is light, easy & comfortable. The food is awesome every single time we have visited. The wine list is impeccable. The resident sommelier suggested great wines with each dish & for dessert. I must add a note about our most recent visit. We ordered the Super Bowl Platter. We did not eat in, but we picked up the platter to take home. Of course, we warmed it up, but the wings were great. The 7 layer dip is outstanding. The Philly Rolls are incredible. We'll worth the price & the trip from NC.

Celebrated my birthday here. Made a reservation via phone, however it was not communicated to me that the only seating available that evening was in front of the bar. We did have children with us & older adults & would have preferred to be seated elsewhere, with seating that had backs to the chair. Our food & drinks were delicious & came out in decent time. However, my boyfriend did say he would have preferred the salmon to have a bit more seasoning. Lastly, our original waitress Nicki was rude, condescending & quite frankly acted like she didn't want to do her job. She was disgusted that we had 9 people in our party, was forgetful & unpleasant, and acted like she really didn't want to wait a party table. After speaking with the manager, he gave us a new waitress, Fallon, who was amazing. She made our dining experience 10x better, was polite, respectful, and made sure I enjoyed the rest of my birthday dinner. We will definitely be returning for another time.

Love the atmosphere! Appetizer great, sauce was very spicy, but the server got something milder for us, that was appreciated. We had steak & lobster but it was a little overcooked to taste.( I should have notified the server)The general service was excellent. Food portions were great. I would still return at another time.

What an amazing experience. Our server Nicole was not only attentive but very personable and knowledgeable. Our steaks came out perfect and the restaurant was top notch. Long live amuse bouche.
