River Pointe Inn — Restaurant in Rumson

We recently hosted a private Bachelorette dinner in the Winston Room, and it could not have been more perfect! The private space was beautifully set up—warm, welcoming, and just the right balance of chic and cozy, which set the tone for the entire evening.

The service was absolutely exceptional and the manager Jake was a pleasure to work with and helped to make the event seamless. Our server Dana anticipated every need without ever being intrusive, and made each of us feel like VIP guests. The food was outstanding—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. The cocktails were creative and delicious and the pacing of the meal was spot on, so we could enjoy the night without feeling rushed.

What stood out most, though, was the atmosphere. The restaurant created the perfect backdrop for laughter, conversation, and celebration. Everyone in our group left raving about not just the food and drinks, but the overall experience.

If you’re looking for a place to host a private party, a girls’ night out, or any special gathering, I can’t recommend the Winston Room highly enough. They made our night unforgettable, and we’ll...

The only thing I’m upset about is that one person beat me to post the first review.

For those that want the quick and dirty: food is delicious and very well made, with great flavors. Drinks will do you dirty in the best way possible: great creations on the menu. Staff is friendly and all the owners/management wear fun shoes with their suits.

Long version:

Ambiance is really nice. Modern feel, not overcrowded or oppressive, and has a very metropolitan vibe (which our area needs).

Appetizers: who doesn’t love some oysters, especially when they’re local and taste great. I don’t know what drug that best salad had in it, but I’ll have 30 more.

I will only speak for my dinner, which was exceptional. I had the bouillabaisse, of which the broth alone was flavorful and perfect with the plethora of seafood that comes in it.

Drinks (I had the filthy martini) was delicious and made right. I wished I ubered, frankly, because there were a few other drinks I wanted to try (don’t drink and drive, kids).

Staff and owners were very friendly and made it inviting. I would try quickly before it becomes too busy to...

No issues with the food, service or atmosphere If your are going to dine here and these item are the reasons you dine out then you will enjoy the restaurant. I typically dine out at BYOB restaurants because I prefer to bring my own wine and liquor due to the exorbitant cost some restaurants charge for these items. When I ordered an Irish whiskey here I immediately noticed it was a “measured” pour. After I reviewed the bill I noticed I was changed $48.00 for two drinks. If you’re going to charge this amount at least make the drinks a “free pour.” Also, being a wine maker and enthusiast, I did not find any value in their offered wines in the glass or by the bottle.In addition be careful if the waitress/waiter asks if you want a bread tray, there is a $15.00 charge for this “amenity.” I’m not a reviewer that enjoys giving negative reviews to restaurants because I understand how difficult this business is. But, for me unless you have a good amount of disposable income or, on a company’s expense account go for the food and enjoy a drink elsewhere before and after...
