I enjoyed sitting at the bar for an early dinner last night. The IPA beer I had (green alligator draft handle) was quite nice. The food was okay and not anything to rave about … I ordered the Brussel Sprouts Appetizer and the Bartender was kind and took it away and off my bill. The Brussel Sprouts were grossly overcooked to the point of mushiness. The main course I ordered was a Bistro Bowl, Pineapple Fajita which didn’t have any pineapple in any quantity. The grilled flank steak was overcooked but still flavorful … over all this dish was tasty even with the shortfalls. I would eat there again and be very specific with whoever is taking the order on how I want my food prepared. I took a slice of their chocolate cake home and it was the best. Give the River Bistro a try … you will enjoy the atmosphere and the food is above average which is terrific. LIVE LOVE LAUGH ALWAYS … ????

Fun after concert gathering. Reasonable draft beer prices. Bar food was good, got the sampler platter, except skip the fried Brussel sprouts. I ordinarily like them, but not coated and deep fried. A soggy mess.

We were traveling through to upstate NY and stopped at the restaurant just to eat. Between the four of us, we had: wings, chicken fingers and fries, and a burger. All were good. Service was friendly and quick.

I had a delightful dining experience with the dinner I ordered from the River Bistro. The Chicken Caesar wrap and the spring rolls were absolutely delicious. The wrap was perfectly seasoned, and the chicken was tender and flavorful. The spring rolls were crispy and filled with a tasty combination of ingredients. The presentation was impeccable, and the delivery service was prompt. I would highly recommend these dishes to anyone staying at the hotel. It truly added to the enjoyment of my stay

Surprisingly good for a hotel restaurant. The chef obviously cares and works at creating good meals. We’ve eaten dinner here twice, and the restaurant was never more than 25% full.

Wow the worst food ever in my life.So salty. Flavor is weird. I think the cook is picked up from the street.Avoid this place at all

It was fine. The food was generous and tasted fine. Nothing really blew me away. I was staying at the hotel and was given a 15% off coupon, but the coupon wasn't used by my server, and I'm not exactly sure why. I had it out right on the table but it was ignored so... Not sure, what happened there. I probably should have spoken up and asked, but the meal didn't cost that much so I just let it go. I found it odd that they had specials on the board outside the restaurant, but even though it was only Wednesday, they were already out of things that were still advertised. I would have liked a larger wine list.Breakfast was very good. I chose to order off of the menu instead of the buffet and really enjoyed the breakfast sandwich. The egg was cooked perfectly and the home fries were fine. All in all, I would eat here again if staying at the hotel for breakfast, but I might explore some of the other places in downtown Binghamton for dinner.

Great service.

Food was good but the service was very slow. Maybe 10 customers were there.

My Ribeye sandwich and fries were awesome and my drinks were strong. Can only give 4 stars because like all hotel bars, it's kind off odd, but that's just part of the fun.

Drinks were pretty good. Food menu was unexciting though and decided against eating here.

The breakfast buffet here was very disappointing. Most of the food was not warm At all. This included decently flavored but cold potato's, cold French toast and very runny looking eggs. The best thing was the juice!
