I compared other find restaurants in the area and rivers had to best prices. Our server was attentive and aware of us. We had the Portabella mushroom for an appetizer.. We both had the New York strip steak and lobster tail. Everything was really incredible! There are many things on the menu I would like to go back and try.

Delicious specials and a wonderful waitperson, Kim, made for a special evening. Treat yourself to a meal here when you are in Glenwood Springs! Cozy in the winter, and a nice deck by the river for dining in the summer.
