River Twice Philadelphia Reviews from The Last Year
Loved this place! I love little details and from the cups
Loved this place! I love little details and from the cups to the serving bowls to the chopstick stands, I appreciate the attention to details. Now for the food, everything was amazing except I got the add on bread special with caviar and it wasn't worth the price. You don't need it. We did the chefs tasting and everything was phenomenal. My favorite was this crab and grits dish. I could eat it everyday
Waste of money...
River ONCE.... A complete waste of time and money! The food was mediocre. The service was far from ideal, especially if you pay for a prefixed menu for two people - $300 (250 + 50 service fee) plus taxes (no refund!!). Drinks are not included, of course, so our bill for two was almost $450. This was one of the worst experiences, especially for the price. You do expect attention to detail and a real fine dining experience even if it's a more casual style. It felt more like a scam or a rip-off, honestly. So many flaws that I'm even too lazy to describe and put all that into writing. Most likely, the restaurant is going to reply in the same generic way as for others. I can additionally answer in this thread and give my "bullet points" about what exactly was bad. Otherwise, I won't even bother to waste more of my time. My advice - please READ FIRST the BAD REVIEWS; most of what was mentioned earlier was applicable in my case as well.
If you're in Philly, you need to find time to go to River
If you're in Philly, you need to find time to go to River Twice. If you want a meal that makes you believe in the power of really good food that is dependable and somehow nothing that you have ever had before ;and you really can't understand why), this is your spot. When I lived in Philly, I came here for the first time two weeks after it opened and fell in love. I supported with the Mother Rucker burger card and fried chicken buckets to go during Covid, and recently was back in town for a weekend and brought my now husband to the counter so he could understand why Philly will always be my favorite city. I promise it's always that good. Pro tip: sit at the counter. Move your reservation if you have to. Watching them prepare each course and getting to ask questions about the spices and sauces and preparation of each dish makes you feel like you to know what you're doing.
The food was absolutely delicious.
Presentation was amazing. Service was excellent. It's a four course tasting menu
Shocked to see 3.
5 stars, so I feel compelled to leave a review. I did see some people dropped ratings due to the wine pairing and since I do not drink alcohol, this aspect was not factored into my review. I usually do not frequent Philadelphia but just so happened to be in the area with my wife and therefore I wanted to try something new for dinner. When I was searching for restaurants I came across River Twice, which was described as a seafood tasting menu utilizing French and Japanese techniques, I was sold! I did have trouble finding a reservation, however I luckily found a same-day 9:30 slot open on a Saturday night so I quickly grabbed it. As we entered I noticed the restaurant was a small intimate space, which has a counter over seeing the kitchen. As someone who likes to cook myself, I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had two seats available at the counter. Once we settled in I took a look at the menu and immediately decided to get a few items to add onto their tasting menu. We opted for the bread course and the ultra-decadent bluefin tuna topped with Uni on Chawanmushi toast. The bread course which came first was a solid hit. They get high quality sourdough bread from a local bakery, which was impeccably paired with Strachiatella cheese and an amazing Tomato Olive tapenade. Our next course was a refreshing bay scallop crudo paired with watercress puree. If I do have a critique on this course I would possible suggest a little more herbal flavoring, as the dill sprigs which came with the course were muted. Then came our optional course of Bluefin tuna toast. As expected you can't really go wrong when using such amazing ingredients, and while it cost $32, it was not exorbitant considering the quality of ingredients being used. The next course, sushi rice, was the highlight of the night for me. A bed of sushi rice, flavored with black vinegar and slightly crisped in a cast iron skillet is topped with a rich potato hollandaise, a piece of cured and smoky eel and then the chef topped it with Perigord Truffle. This dish was amazingly balanced as it had richness from the hollandaise, earthiness from the truffle, a salty component from the eel and the vinegar in the rice helped cut through everything. This was a Michelin star quality dish. We finished the savory courses with Halibut, on top of carrots and celeriac, in a sauce made with clam broth. This was a good course which was highlighted by the flavorful vegetables. The dessert course was a play on a creamsicle which has very nice textures and citrus flavors. They definitely captured the nostalgia of eating a creamsicle. All in all it was a pleasant experience and I would recommend River Twice to anyone who enjoys seafood. While I do realize that $75 a person is not cheap and one might require a few extra courses, this is reasonable considering the high costs of good quality ultra-fresh seafood.
I hemmed and hawed about what to rate River Twice, a place
I hemmed and hawed about what to rate River Twice, a place that had been on my list for ages and one I had heard such accolades about. I ended with 3-stars, and here's why: - Food: it was good, don't get me wrong. But it wasn't anything extra or special. It was good, but exactly what you would expect. - Service: everyone was lovely. Just nothing special or extra but everyone was very kind and helpful. - Wine pairing: everyone has their own thoughts and preferences. However, I will say the pairing was a total miss. They didn't work with the food (or there was a much better option that should have been selected) and they weren't really special. The staff seemed to need more of an education on the wines as well when asking for more detail. - Cost: this was a big one. Our meal was not worth the $350 price tag. Honestly I was shocked and really bummed. I expected so much from the meal, and it just didn't hit the mark for that cost. TBD if we'll be back, but perhaps. We'll see.
I'm not sure how this place only has 3.
5 stars... The food, service and ambiance were impeccable! Marissa was attentive and knowledgeable about everything from the food to the after dinner drinks ordered! Sitting at the chef's counter and watching everything being made was a real joy. The music was great and everyone from the staff to the diners seemed so happy to be there! The burger and scallop toast were so good, we actually got two of each. Whether you want the tasting menu or a la carte options, you can't go wrong. We already made a reservation to come back in a few weeks!
My husband and I decided to come to River Twice as a date
My husband and I decided to come to River Twice as a date night back in 2021. Back when we did the tasting menu, it was 7 courses for $85 but I noticed that the tasting menu currently offered has changed a little, now 4 courses for $75. We sat outside for our meal, which was pleasant for the nice weather that day, but I think next time we'll have to grab a table inside. The few glimpses of the interior I saw on the way to the restroom were really lovely; the dining room felt very welcoming and I was in love with the brown and gray-toned aesthetic. I thought that the tasting menu overall was very good. I liked all of the courses outside of their meat courses, which was a little dry and could have been better seasoned. But generally speaking, I liked their choice of ingredients and how the flavors went together. The plateware that the courses were served in were as beautiful as the presentation and, as we went through our meal, I would take note of the brands that manufactured the dishware for future reference haha. We decided to add on a cheese course but the flavor of the cheese wasn't really to our liking. Because I don't like chocolate, the original chocolate dessert course was swapped out for grilled figs with honey. That course was truly a highlight for me because they were the freshest figs I ever had and the honey was a bit crystalized similar to that of the top layer of creme brulee, which is my favorite part. Would I go back? : I would go back. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. Because River Twice is regularly changing up their menu, I think it's hard to predict if you'll consistently have a positive experience every time. I did notice that the reviews I've seen on Yelp recently have been more positive compared to when I went so maybe the changes made to the tasting menu improved the quality of the experience since.
This place has very good food.
Don't get me wrong here. It's just obscenely expensive for such a small amount of food. We left hungry, which is never a good sign, even after getting the add on might bread course (which is totally worth it btw). The service was impeccable, and the wine selection was nice (they have a sommelier on staff which is amusing in such a small restaurant). We also loved how the tables have drawers for silverware in them - super cute and space-saving. We have had some really awesome fancy American food in Philly, some less expensive but others more than this price point (eek), and I feel like River Twice was just average for a big sticker price. Will I go back when someone else is paying? Sure! But I don't think I'll be footing the bill myself, despite its proximity to my house.
After seeing some negative reviews, I was hesitant to
After seeing some negative reviews, I was hesitant to follow through with our reservation. I'm so glad we went. Our dinner was wonderful. The food was perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented and the service was both pleasant and excellent. We were happy enough that we left an additional tip on the well posted 20% that they add for the full staff.
Food isnt good under-seasoned.
waiters were good,manager lady not so much had a attitude. Very pricey and small portions. Sushi place before was better
Best restaurant in Philly this trip :)
I have been eating out in Philadelphia for over 30 years. In that time, I have watched the Philadelphia food scene grow from “meh” - think steak houses, to where we are now, where I am literally spoiled for choice. Last night, I had the pleasure of dining here with my friend and his son. His son is a bit of a foodie, and he declared the meal to be one of the best he has ever had in his life. I am fortunate to have eaten at some very interesting places around the world and I have to say that this meal was up there with some of the best I have ever eaten. The combination of flavours and textures were outstanding on all of the dishes, even the dishes that did not cater to my specific preferences. I am not a big burger fan, but even I can tell that that menu item was exceptional. We even asked for a takeaway one for my friend’s other son who was not able to be there . Service was totally charming, attentive, knowledgeable, and with a twinkle… Obviously, we had the tasting menu, but we also added all of the suggested additions which made for a full blown experience. There seems little point in listing what we ate because by its very nature, a tasting menu changes on a regular basis. Suffice to say that based on last night‘s performance, we would trust chef and his brigade to deliver consistently and confound expectations. The price point is reasonable for what you get and I am sure that next time I am back in Philly, regretfully not until next year, I will be a return visitor.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
