River's Edge Restaurant

Worth it!
My husband and I went for our 1st year anniversary dinner and had reservations for outdoor seating which was amazing! They had heaters to keep it warm and the view was beautiful.

The food was also delicious, we had ordered the Prime Rib and the Ribeye, both were cooked perfectly. The mushroom and onion topping was a must. They also divided the Edge Wedge salad for us and the balsamic vinaigrette was perfect with the bleu cheese crumbles.

They had a large variety of wine and cocktails as well as non alcoholic beverages.

We ended up bringing home a slice of cheesecake for dessert 🥰

We will definitely be back!

Stopped here for a bite to eat whilst heading through town - the terrace out the back overlooks the river and was quite pleasant on a sunny afternoon.
We had everything we needed from a service perspective but the levels of congeniality fluctuated.
Huge servings, hot and fresh food. I had the tempeh sandwich and my partner got the chicken Caesar wrap. we got a calamari to share.
Restrooms were clean and tidy.
The other meals on the menu looked delicious - worthwhile going to check out if you are in town.

Food here was incredible! Really unique flavor combinations. The prime rib has a really delicious bone marrow chimichurri, for example instead of the traditional horseradish. The salmon dish and the filet dish also had really amazing flavor combinations. The steamer clams were buttery and delicious! The drinks were also unique and really good. Overall, the food was definitely worth the cost and I will be eating here again.

I'm just visiting town but this could easily be the best restaurant in town. The ambiance in general was spectacular. The restaurant is right on the river and you can hear the sound of the water hitting the rocks nearby. The view is spectacular and at the right times of the year you can watch the sun setting downstream. The meat was cooked to perfection. They were running a special on lobster tail that was excellent. They had a pork belly appetizer that was a really fun and interesting experience. You won't find it many other places. It was covered in a chocolate hoisin sauce with coleslaw on top and tzatziki sauce. Not what I would consider a normal or average conglomeration of flavors, but it worked extremely well together. And they have an excellent selection of alcohol and mixed drinks, including a decent wine list. That's a good thing. I don't live here because I'd be eating at this restaurant on a regular basis.

Who else likes discovering new restaurants?

I'd heard of @rivers.edge.grants.pass.or in the past but we'd never gone for lunch or dinner because honestly it never sounded appealing to us. Well, this last weekend I was invited out to do a menu tasting of their newest seasonal menu coming out in the next couple of weeks and now I can't wait to take the family over for lunch or dinner!

First things first. In spring 2021 they got new owners that completely revamped their food and cocktails, starting over with a farm to table mindset. They source their ingredients as local as possible, scratch making every dish, and handcrafting their cocktails. Their wine selection is extensive, supporting lots of wineries as well as offering wines you may not be able to find anywhere else in southern Oregon such as Caymus, Quilceda Creek, Stags Leap Wine Cellars, Duckhorn among others! Call ahead and they will cork your wine for you to be ready when you arrive!

Secondly, their location is absolutely gorgeous! They are located right on the Rogue River with a beautiful, large outdoor seating area that will be especially stunning in the spring. Their dining room is still in the works to be remodeled but it is nice and cozy with lots of booths and a nice bar with great views of the river also.

It's definitely a great spot for date night and special occasions, or even just a casual lunch out. Their whole menu is fantastic, but my five favorite items are pictured.
