Riverpark

Going tomorrow nite for a birthday celebration. Any suggestions from the current menu? Have looked at previous posts but many of those dishes are no longer on the menu. Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    I had dinner at Riverpark 2 weeks ago. Both the baby octopus and grilled calamari appetizers were fabulous. The Mayan shrimp was quite good, if not approaching the level of the other apps.

    For my main, I was very happy with the grilled lamb T-bone and ribs. My wife had the tomato leaf pasta and our friend loved her diver scallops.

    Overall, a very nice dining experience - a bit more sedate than our usual haunts.

      I agree.....overall a really nice dining experience. We had the grilled calamari salad and others had the field green salad and the peeled shrimp. For mains I had the grilled lamb t bone and ribs. Deelish and cooked perfectly. Other mains were the squid ink pasta, fried chicken and pork chop. I had a taste of all but was happy with what I ordered. Desserts were the caramel chocolate tart (rich) and the peach sundae (surprisingly light and refreshing). Had a table near the window and the service was friendly and accomodating. Very enjoyable evening.

      On the current dinner menu I have had the grilled calamari salad to start and the duck breast as a main. Previously I have ordered a number of other dishes and tasted others and haven't had a miss yet, so just go with what appeals to you and you shouldn't go too far wrong.
