River Bar

I visited this spot on a Friday night and sat outside and enjoying the ambiance it was a nice vibe, I was expecting live music, the food was ok the nacho chips tasted like they were homemade which was however, they lacked cheese and salsa and flavor I also ordered a burger and fried which I didn't get a picture of because I had one ti many Stella's I do recommend this spot it's a great place the service was great the vibe was awesome

The food and drinks were mediocre at best, the service was awful it was a bunch of guys just hanging out and not paying attention to the customers. The ambience was great just because we were outside and it was a beautiful day.

The spot is great, and that's where it ends. Service is abysmal, and the drinks are subpar at best. First time we came here on a Sunday early afternoon, had a great time, the 3 times since have been awful.

Great place to hang out on a summer night. Met up with 2 friends for drinks and we split a plate of nachos. Got in on a Friday without a reservation. Deducting a star since our server seemed more interested in dancing and hitting on girls then providing good service. They now have a DJ on the weekends so probably not a good first date spot as it gets loud at times.

I feel like this is a cool spot to grab drinks, but not to eat. The first time I came here and they had one server, a lot of places are short staffed now so i understand. But, I didn't want to wait 45 minutes (or however long) for my food. The second time I came for a few beers at the bar. Bartenders we're friendly and attentive.The third time I came with my friend to eat dinner. The wait was long so I gave them my phone number and they called me when our table was ready. I ordered a foot long hot dog that came with chips and it was $16. I noticed they didn't have fries on the menu. The server told me that they just got rid of the fries but she can still sell them to us. I'm trying to be understanding that they have to make adjustments to stay in business, but as a consumer it just doesn't make sense for me to pay this much for a basic hot dog. The toppings were tasty--Pineapple Salsa, and Jalapeno but still feels like I'm getting ripped off. Maybe if I had gotten a flatbread, burger, or salad I would have been more satisfied. We also got some chips with guacamole and it was also basic. The fries were probably the best part of this meal. The energy is great here, the servers are good and I love sitting outside, but I'd manage expectations when ordering food here.

What kind of manager makes you have a two on one conversation with her and the bartender after you complain about bad service? Because our stories differed she told me I had to have a face to face conversation with the manager and the bartender. There was another person with me that experienced why I was complaining but she REFUSED to hear her side so I had to sit there while they gas lit me. The most unprofessional experience and worst service I have witnessed in a bar/ restaurant and as a culinary consultant that says something. To the owner- the manager working Saturday night during the Celtics Heat game needs to be fired. Forcing confrontation between customers and staff is abhorrent. Need more bartenders outside to avoid them refusing customers food orders or saying drinks are sold out when they need to be restocked- if she had help she would not have been turning away patrons.

The place has got food fries and drink :) Nice place to hangout with friend on the summer evening at outdoor seating facing the river. The food was good and the server was phenomenal and very nice.

Had a pretty rough experience here and as a result would probably never go here to eat food again. It's a pretty spot with waterfront views and tons of outdoor seating, but they have a long way to go when it comes to the food and service.I will admit that I came in with a very large group of 12 people, we were seated outside under some heaters which was nice during Fall in Boston, but that's basically the last good thing I have to say. The food came out soooo slowly, I'm talking an hour wait, and all at different times meaning myself and a few others were waiting 20 min after the rest of the party got their food. Anyone who ordered a chicken sandwich had to send it back because it was completely raw in the middle (horrific thing to bite into). Any modifications we asked for (side of sauce, no pickles, that sort of thing) just didn't happen, and we had to send a number of beers back because they weren't what we ordered. I had my whole family with me and my grandparents were pretty upset by the entire ordeal. The food is mediocre at best so it doesn't make up for the overall experience. Might come back just for drinks, but sad to say I would look elsewhere for a tasty dinner in Assembly Row.

Service awful, manager terribly rude and two of us got food poisoning! Called today in an effort to be helpful & report and was hung up on. Really disappointing.

Ambience is good, but aside from that there isn't much about this place that is special. Food is fine. Service is terrible, they act as if they're doing you a favor by existing. The wait staff rarely checks in on you and when they do it often comes with an eye roll as if they couldn't believe that you would have the audacity to want to get some more water or silverware, or order another round of drinks.
