The food here was good but a lot of their standout menu items are "add ons". They force the entire pre-fixe no matter (unless it's changed since I went). They are known for their burger, but good luck enjoying it (it's an entire m
I would consider this to be a dining experience.
The menu is prefixed consisting of four courses. They use local ingredients to highlight the resources in the area. Our server was knowledgeable about every item on the menu, including its origins. Each dish was craftffullly created with care and d
Wonderful.
Finally got to try this place and it didn't disappoint. Got to try some interesting drinks too during this season when they are trying to roll out some new drinks, e.g. first time had sparkling sake which is very interesting.

Go - with an open mind! This restaurant is sensational! I ate there a few weeks ago, which was a second visit. And, I am still thinking about it. The food is clever and sophisticated - proteins (mostly fish and shellfish) dressed in an accompaniment

River Twice is always a great meal.
That being said, like any other more upscale tasting menu, you need to be slightly adventurous. Expect unique ingredients and/or flavor combinations The base tasting menu is solid but if you can, definitely get at least 1 of the supplements or the dr
We sat at the counter for the "prep show".
Weird ambiance & so silly, plating with tweezers, really? Trying to be pretentious & just came across as awkward & odd. Food was hit or miss. Only thing good was the blueberry dessert.

This, for some strange reason, is kind of a hard place for me to rate. The staff were all friendly and the setting upscale and casual, but for a start, maybe it's difficult because the menu itself is on the unusual side for more than 1 reason.

Was really hoping to enjoy this restaurant however the new set menu is quite limiting. Additionally, they do not have a bar but only have pre-made cocktails in a jar. The corkage fee is buying one bottle of wine from them so ends up not being worth i

Loved this place! I love little details and from the cups to the serving bowls to the chopstick stands, I appreciate the attention to details. Now for the food, everything was amazing except I got the add on bread special with caviar and it wasn't
Waste of money...
River ONCE.... A complete waste of time and money! The food was mediocre. The service was far from ideal, especially if you pay for a prefixed menu for two people - $300 (250 + 50 service fee) plus taxes (no refund!!). Drinks are not included, of c

The food was absolutely delicious.
Presentation was amazing. Service was excellent. It's a four course tasting menu
Shocked to see 3.
5 stars, so I feel compelled to leave a review. I did see some people dropped ratings due to the wine pairing and since I do not drink alcohol, this aspect was not factored into my review. I usually do not frequent Philadelphia but just so happened

My husband and I decided to come to River Twice as a date night back in 2021. Back when we did the tasting menu, it was 7 courses for $85 but I noticed that the tasting menu currently offered has changed a little, now 4 courses for $75. We sat outsid
This place has very good food.
Don't get me wrong here. It's just obscenely expensive for such a small amount of food. We left hungry, which is never a good sign, even after getting the add on might bread course (which is totally worth it btw). The service was impeccable, and the

Best restaurant in Philly this trip :)
I have been eating out in Philadelphia for over 30 years. In that time, I have watched the Philadelphia food scene grow from “meh” - think steak houses, to where we are now, where I am literally spoiled for choice. Last night, I had the pleasur

Went for a birthday celebration and it was incredible.
Wasn't a huge fan of the corn grits, but that's just personal preference. Every dish was so delicious and inventive. Their current menu (mussel tostada, tilefish) is only there for another week but I'm sure the next menu will be just as good. We adde
Don't Let the Casual Vibe Fool You
This is serious fine dining in a hipster disguise. Surprised no reviews here in over a year. In a transitional neighborhood off the tourist beat. Bad news is there is no menu choice; everyone gets the 4 course set menu, seafood-focused, with option o

Spectacular seafood, local produce and dairy along with the best burger in Philly. The chef's counter experience is top notch, you get a full view of what's happening in the kitchen and you might learn a thing or two! The staff is equally amazing and

Connect with users posting reservations for River Twice Philadelphia
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with River Twice Philadelphia. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to River Twice Philadelphia at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the River Twice Philadelphia page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at River Twice Philadelphia to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at River Twice Philadelphia!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
