The River Café is one of New York's most beautiful and distinctive venues for special occasions such as weddings, private parties and corporate functions. The facility has been providing magnificent settings, panoramic views of New York City's skyline and the Statue of Liberty, and beautiful décor since June, 1977. Nestled right under the Brooklyn Bridge, the River Café is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Whether you are planning an event there or simply going to dinner, you’ll enjoy close personal attention, romantic piano music, award-winning wine list and fresh floral arrangements.

The River Café was founded by Michael O'Keeffe who thought that the small waterfront piece of land on which the restaurant is located today, was like an oasis within the city – lacking any civility but full of possibilities. It took him twelve years to get an approval from the city but once it was built, it became an instant success. After more than three decades of offering perfection, the facility is one of the best in fine dining and catering. Their goal from the very beginning was to serve some of the world’s finest food with no compromise with quality.

verlooking New York Harbor, the Terrace Room offers the ideal setting for private dining and special events. The River Café features a classic American menu, prepared with only the freshest and often times rare ingredients. Professional event coordinators will guide you throughout the planning process and will help you with every detail of your celebration – from choosing the décor to selecting music and entertainment.

Recognized by Zagat for its décor, the River Café will impress all your guests with its beautiful indoor and outdoor gardens and the splendor of the city’s skyline. Exquisite cuisine, refined service and sophisticated settings all combine to make for an unforgettable celebration.
