Went to River Oaks for a date night with hubby (early Valentine's meal) and asked our server about his recommendations for entree. I went with his recommendation of the scallops and homemade angel hair pasta which was absolutely delicious! The service was not rushed and we were able to have a leisurely dinner. We passed on dessert, but would definitely go back for another date night!

Took my wife for her birthday. Food and service were outstanding. Room was low lit so it gave the feel of privacy but it was rather loud with people's conversations. I would definitely recommend the place just not for a "romantic" date.

Very good restaurant in a sea of very good chain restaurants in the area. My only complaint is that it was difficult to get to and confusing on google maps for an out of towner. Also it's located in a hotel parking lot so parking is tight.
