New Rivers was a good experience. Their menu is concise and looked like the intention was “local ingredients”. I had looked at photos from others and was excited to try what they had to offer. The calimari was perfectly light and tender. Their buns were yummy. The pickles, did not have pickles, but had pickled zucchini, onions, but no actual pickles. Entrees were good, not mind blowing. Pork chops and apricots go very well together. The fritters were delicious. The char was not out of the ordinary. I think for the price, the food did not hit the mark. The drinks are great and I’ll be back to try it again to see if a new seasonal menu changes my mind.

Phenomenal pork chop tenderloin, full stop! Don’t mess around, someone at the table should get this dish. We had the scallops and the sea Bass as well, the pork chop is a level above these dishes.
Smoky char, tender, juicy, and you must dip in the sauce on the plate to get the full experience. This is a must have entree at The New Rivers restaurant.
Baked Alaska was good and we enjoyed the Corn cake with corn ice cream.

Really appreciate the restaurant accommodating me when I did not have a reservation.
The raw oysters were tastefully presented – with a stellar mignonette and cocktail sauce with fresh shaved horseradish. Is it rude to drink mignonette after finishing oysters? If so, New Rivers might tempt me to be rude.
The cornmeal fried squid – amazing. Crispy, chewy and not overpowering. Fried basil and radish were the perfect accompaniments.
My server advised me that I could order a single roll and I appreciated that non menu option. As a solo diner – I appreciate getting to try more of the menu.
Smoked duck tart was incredible. The pastry was perfect – but I thought the salad on the side was odd. Entire leaves of lettuce were hard to eat. The freshness helped but maybe a different presentation might be better.
I ordered the lemon curd tart and while good, it was the low point of the meal. The pastry was not as good as the earlier tart and the flavor seemed muted. I’d order something else.
Overall, great meal, well worth a special visit

We went for dinner for a weeknight in early September. Reservations were available on short notice and missed the college parent crowds. First time here after hearing about it for a number of years.
We shared a couple of appetizers and really enjoyed the cheese/charcuterie board and calamari. Calamari was crispy and sauces were delicate. Cheese board was also delicious and we liked that we could mix and match. Not many places offer pate, so we enjoyed having that as an option.
The gnudi dish was the best of the evening. They’re something between a small dumpling and gnocchi, and were so incredibly tender! Sauce was very delicious and we highly recommend trying this dish.
Entrees were okay, but not amazing. They’re known for their burger but I found it lackluster. Saddest part was the French fries were soft and tasteless. Burger meat was drier than it should be; likely too much fat rendered off during cooking. Bun had no integrity and didn’t hold up to the burger.
Pork loin was good, but serving size was extremely small for an entree. There were only 3 slices of pork on the dish.
Desserts were simple and well-executed, but not a highlight.
Atmosphere can be very nice if not too loud. Great place for a date, grabbing light fare, or having a drink at the bar.

It seems they make a new menu daily; ours had the day we dined written on it. So I’m not sure if I’m able to exactly recommend anything specific but I loved the NY Strip Steak on 9/19. It was done perfectly. I was a huge fan. Highly recommend.
I did expect the potatoes with it to be more crispy and the sauce to be more like au jus from the menu description but they were still really good!
It was a long wait on even a Thursday so it’s highly recommended to plan in advance and make reservations. It’s like the food that north used to serve and that was one of my favorite restaurants.
We ordered a charcuterie as well and I didn’t love it but that was my fault because I literally chose what I wanted in it. Overall, I still had a fantastic dinner and would try other things next time!

The food and atmosphere during our latest visit to New Rivers were both excellent, as expected. It was the service that really stood out on this visit. When we arrived, the hostess kindly made sure we sat at the table she selected for us, rather than the bar as we requested, because she selected the best table in the restaurant for us. From there, our server struck the perfect tone. Warm, hospitable, discreet, and attentive, she made sure that we were able to keep the night about us, rather than her service. She seemed to anticipate our needs, never interrupting at an awkward moment or lingering too long. We enjoyed a leisurely, intimate meal gazing at the city’s twinkling lights. The food was, as always, excellent, a wonderful expression of seasonal New England fare, presented artfully. My favorites were the pumpkin hummus with crunchy root vegetables, which a perfectly refreshing, sensual way to start the meal. The scallops were also great, presented with a knockout green sauce and some perfectly-cooked potatoes and green beans. Highly recommended – get a reservation, skip lunch, invite the best conversationalists you know and tuck in for a great meal.

Warm and cozy with excellent service, we loved our first visit to New Rivers. I’ve never seen bone marrow on a menu and absolutely loved it. Scallops were an unusual presentation. an oh yeah, best pommes frites around.
Everything worked. Our dinner for two was wonderful. We were happy.

We came here for restaurant week to have a complete dinner experience and this place didn’t disappoint. Everything is fresh and delicious. Not huge portions so if you’re looking for leftovers this won’t be the place for you. They give you just enough. It’s pricey for what you get but worth it. The best pot de creme I’ve ever had that finished off my experience.

Fantastic local food with ingredients incorporated throughout the menu. Cocktails were creative takes on traditional combinations. The service was top notch and responsive to needs and accommodating. Try the sweet corn ice cream if they still have it.
