Two Rivers Restaurant

Dinner with three girlfriends last night. We had a reservation made online in which I specified we'd need separate checks. I ordered hot tea when I arrived (I worked outside all day in 21° temps!) and was given a huge pot! Our server was cordial and prompt. She did leave us a bit too long before taking our order, however we were very undecided when she tried to take our order twice before so that's not really on her. Menu choices are great. I had a seared salmon over quinoa. Cooked perfectly. Girlfriends all enjoyed their choices. And dessert was yummy flourless chocolate cake. Highly recommend that!Separate checks were presented without having to ask (as per reservation, which means they read the specific request). Restaurant was very warm and welcoming. Not too loud even when busy. Perhaps lighting could be dimmed but I suppose others would complain if it's too dark. The place emptied out at 8pm. We'd return for sure!

Stumbled in on our way from Dublin to Marysville. It was very quiet at 3pm on a Saturday. The hamburger was 5* according to my mate and my chopped salad was very good too. The dressings are made in-house. Zeke did a great job and was very personable. I'm not sure we will return since we live on the East Side, but locals should give them a go.

I'd probably go 3.5 stars if I could because our food was mixed in results. The tuna crudo was very disappointing, so bland, it was just the tuna not even with salt (very good tuna though). I had the soup of the day which was pasole and it was good. I had the French onion burger and it was very good, definitely had the French onion flavor and perfectly cooked but the "three cheese" part didn't ring true for me. My wife had the apple salad with salmon (tiny portion of salmon) and it was good. Our service was great and the ambience is very casual which was what we were seeking, the drinks were good too. So I'd summarize to say a casual place with pretty good food and very convenient for us in Powell so we will likely be back.

We went out of our way to order as many things as we could. Hey, I am often Yelp Elite! Have to take care of all you readers. This is the greatest restaurant gift to Powell we could ask for. As a foodie I have been wishing I didn't have to go into the inner belt of 270 for my palate. Two Rivers is shining. I notice some little things like a chef getting fresh blackberries and working it into the drink, salad and dessert menu. That's not typical of "the burbs". The food and presentation is excellent. For the price points they hit, this is glorious. The kitchen staff show some real pride in their work. Little details like some avocado mousse on top of a salmon dish stand out as a nice accompaniment, not a dollop. The staff is still getting to know each other and learn their dance moves, but I'm just trying to defend my reputation for anyone that wants to challenge my 5 stars. If you are in that boat, order one of their craft cocktails and look me in the eye without smiling like a kid on a hot summer day getting ice cream. Thank you for coming to Powell. My only ask is to think about the Vegans and Vegetarian crowd a tad more. Hats off to everyone that supported my family having a lovely dinner at a very cool bistro.

Amazing!!! Wanted to try it moore than once to get a good perspective, given Powell doesn't get new full-service restaurants very often. Stopped in three or four times since they opened, and it has been consistently great. The restaurant is very welcoming and has an open concept. Hostesses greet you at the door and sincerely welcome you. Would recommend making reservations as we have seen 30 minute waits for walk-ins during prime time. Seating options include Outdoor covered patio, bar stools/high tops, and general restaurant booths, tables and high-tops. They have a full-service bar in the center of the restaurant with bar spots for 12 or so people. Havent seated at the bar directly but looks inviting - with a few TVs visible. The environment is energetic local place - lots of people engaging with each other and the staff. The Chefs are actively checking on their patrons. Definitely not your local library - given the happy fun vibe you get from the start. If you want a quiet area, suggest a front or rear booth or even the covered patio. It is very casual and could a great or family fun, friends, work, or just a solo quick bite.Based on recommendations from others, we have made reservations each time and our table was ready on time. Our experience has been great! Friendly Hostesses and Servers! We have had a couple great servers - including Jacob and Noelle. Both were fun, engaging and helpful in selecting best options. Feels like this staff has been together for a while given they work and have fun like they are long life friends. Our most recent visit we pulled a high top in the bar area for 6. We've tried a couple of their house specialty drinks: Old Fashion (great mix) and the Cucumber Gimlet (so refreshing). We have tried a few of their bourbon pours, beers and wine options too. Plenty to choose from and easy to choose. As for appetizers, I ordered and would highly recommend the Tuna Crudo and Burnt Ends Poutine. Tuna and pickled cucumber provides a refreshing light start and Burnt Ends brings it home with flavor/fries/fire flavor. I would order the Tuna as a lunch plate and the Burnt Ends would be great for kids to share too. We shared the Apple Avocado Salad and it was delicious for an intro. Not overwhelming but Creamy Avocado dressing was super tasty. Could also do this with Salmon as a lunch/dinner. For Dinner we have tried Reuben, French Onion Burger, American Burger, Meatball Sub, and Grilled New York Strip (all five are amazing and would do again) - However my two favoeriwews are the Southern Fried Chicken and Three Cheese Tortellini. Chicken was incredible meal - with a boneless juicy piece of chicken, you also get a fresh & little crunchy green beans, their spin on mash potatoes and a little cornbread. SO SO DELICIOUS! Three Cheese Tortellini (I added Salmon-see picture), was and still is my favorite. Thanks Noelle for recommending it. But PLEASE PLEASE don't forget to try the Brown Butter BlackBerry Tart or as we kept calling it the Brown Betty Apple Blackberry pie. HA! It is so good. I tried all three on the menus but loved this one. We love this place and are excited to have it around. The menu gives you great options where you don't have to get the same thing twice for a months. Give it a try if you are around the Zoo or Powell area or just driving through. Welcome to the Powell area Two Rivers!!!

Great place!!! Make a reservation and enjoy. Ask for Jasmin behind the bar. So friendly and so professional. Then get a table in Emily's section. Fun, personable, knowledgeable and didn't mind four old people bothering her. The fried chicken dinner is amazing. Crispy, plus mashed potatoes, green beans and a small piece of cornbread. The red blend Palisades wine was really good. Now I need to find a bottle. The margarita must have been tasty since my wife had two. Place was a little loud but it was a fun loud. People laughing and having a good time. Again, thanks Emily and Jasmine!!!

The interior is crisp and refined with a touch of rustic flair. The goat cheese was an excellent starter with crisp fresh arugula a honey drizzle and flecks of diced red pepper. The French onion burger was served with a mountain of melt cheese on top. The staff was friendly and engaging. The Reuben had all the necessary elements and was served with dry salty deeply browned chips that were not comparable to the golden French fries of the burger.

Cute little spot! The food is good. The service is good. I like that it's a full restaurant with drink options. I would recommend up-ing the ambiance just a tad to give it more of a restaurant feel and not like a chipotle or similar feel. I like that it's open, but ... maybe it's the lighting... or ... I"m not really sure what it is but it just feels a little too much like a chipotle/starbucks/bright diner-y feel almost. Prices are good! Location is decent also, it's kind of hidden though so you'd need to know it was there. I got the avocado salad with grilled chicken, extra dressing on the side and extra goat cheese and super happy I did! It's actually making me hungry just typing about it. :P Would visit here again!

The restaurant has vibrant atmosphere that you can feel as soon as you walk through the door, Lauren the Manager has assembled an exceptional team of bar, serving and support staff who are not only knowledgable about the menu but also genuinely enthusiastic about their rolls.

Each dish was excellently prepared,tasty and well portioned. The main courses we ordered were Flat Iron Steak, Pozole Braised Pork Rib, Spinach and Ricotta Tortellini and my favorite Southern Fried Chicken.

This place is a hidden gem that is becoming less and less hidden. My wife and I have been there several times and know just how special it is. We had 5:30 reservations and it was a good thing. By the time we left, the line was out the door. Tonight we brought a newbie couple. I won't go into details about our appetizers or meals, other than to say everybody was very impressed. Two very different appetizers, four very different mains. All were excellent. No, beyond excellent. Get there! Just reserve your table because the secret is out!
