Owner
The River Room is located in the beautiful Post Riverside Town Square where Buckhead meets Vinings. From the restaurant, enjoy panoramic views of the town square which is reminiscent of a European village and features charming gardens and a beautiful water fountain as the focal point. Our cuisine is top-notch due to the fact that we house one of Atlanta's best chef, Executive Chef Joseph Rahme, who has created an amazing menu comprised of New American Cuisine paired with an award-winning wine list. Additionally, our restaurant also offers a private dining room, spacious outdoor patio, upscale Tavern with private martini lounge and an onsite Event Planner who specializes in group dining events. We are recipients of the Zagat Award of Excellence, Wine Spectator Award of Excellence and named as one of Atlanta's Top 101 Places to Dine by the Atl Business Chronicle.

In Short
Located in the Post Riverside complex between Buckhead and Vinings, this haunt is a popular choice for daters of all ages. Crab cakes, peppercorn-seared beef carpaccio and sugar cane-skewered shrimp with bacon-corn salsa kickstart the meals. Follow-ups include duck two ways--confit and grilled--with sweet potato hash and Grand Marnier spiked jus and blackened mahi mahi with scallion-whipped potatoes.

My husband and I ate at River Room the day before Valentines and the food was excellent! I had the duck which was perfectly cooked and my husband has the shrimp and grits which were equally good. The service was wonderful--very helpful and attentive. If River Room was a moderately priced restaurant, I would of given it 5 stars. But when a restaurant charges high-end prices than I will have high-end expectations. The bar area smelled like a place a smoker goes to die. Can you still smoke in restaurants?? I thought that was illegal. The decor was awful! The first thing you see when you walk in is a huge arrangement of dusty FAKE flowers, ughhh. It's the day before Valentines, get an arrangement of real flowers. The dining area looked like something out of the 90's. And it was a bit too bright. Minor complaints, I know, but a restaurant's atmosphere is important when people are shelling out big bucks for a meal. I think it would be helpful to the owner to go to a restaurant like Trois or Parkers (in Decatur) to see what high-end decor should look like.

I have been to the River Room literally hundreds and hundreds of times. It is a regular hangout for me and my friends after a good run by the Chattahoochee River after which this restaurant is named. Mind you there is no view of the river but only the surrounding apartment complex. No ordinary complex, this is a luxury, high end condo/apartment set up which has plenty of flavor on its own. The bar area is a great hang out with plenty of bar space and tables. On the weekends expect some live music. Plenty of regulars but also newbies. The restaurant side is very different, very high class. Then there is the food. Spectacularly good. I have enjoyed everything on the menu including the sides and I would recommend it all. Try the fish - it doesn't come from the Chattahoochee - the halibut and the tuna are great. Have the bartender whip you up a Manhattan or a Cosmopolitan and you'll be set.
