Still a high five. I just don't know what the oh no response is all about. Karen must have some problem with the Rivers club.

Came here for restaurant week and was so excited to see they opened their doors to the public. There was no sign indicating where the restaurant was but after staring at google maps I went into the parking garage elevator and saw the button for Rivers Club. From there, the restaurant was three sets of stairs up. The food was a big let down. The hot foods (soup and ravioli) were room temp. Flavor was just overall a little underwhelming. The service was top tier- super quick and brought out the assortment of teas and asked if we wanted another tea bag of the same type of tea to make it stronger. The place was empty (very unexpected for restaurant week) if you want a private dinner without renting the whole place out then come here on a Tuesday night.

This used to be a ClubCorp venue and it is now called "Invited". We are members at "The Houston Club" in Texas but they have a reciprocal arrangement with all of their venues across the U. S. This is one of our favorite clubs. The ambiance is classy and intimate with a spectacular view of the city. We usually like to eat at the bar. We had dinner here on a Friday night and had our regular server Manna. All the servers are great, but she is the best. She's very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. I truly appreciate her professionalism. They have a new menu (pictures attached). Also attached are pictures of our meals. I started with the "Autumn Beet Salad" and selected the "lamb bolognese" as my entree. The salad was okay. The bolognese included a wide noodle pasta and sliced lamb. It was tasty (especially the lamb) but the pasta could have used some more sauce. Next time I'll ask for extra sauce. My husband started with the "Lobster Sherry Bisque". It had a nice sized piece of lobster in it and he really liked it. For his entree, he got the 412 special which they have on Fridays and it changes from week to week. This week, it included a lamb chop, filet mignon and lobster tail for $41. He really really enjoyed this. I suggest if you order a steak, ask them to cook it one level less done (e. g. If you like medium, ask for it medium rare). My husband did this and said it was cooked perfectly. We really like this place a lot. It's a really chill vibe and a relaxed hang. I rated it a 3, but if I could, I'd give 3.5 stars.

Great venue for meals or meeting. The facilities are very convenient and comfortable. The staff is pleasant. This is a good choice for any type of business or meeting downtown.

I saw the Rivers Club on the restaurant week list and thought it would be a good opportunity to take a look in a less sales-y sort of way. It's been on my radar for a while and I've never gotten around to it, so I gathered up some friends and off we went. I will say that I felt welcomed here and everyone was nice, but besides that, I found the entire experience somewhere between confusing and downright comical. The dinner started ok. With the website directions, I found it easily and was greeted immediately. Again, everyone was welcoming and friendly. But our server was very clearly new and had not received the level of training one would expect from a private club. He meant well and he tried hard - I'll give him that. But he was totally flustered for pretty much the entire meal. Every request or question threw him for a loop. Simple questions too - like what sodas they had. The pace of service was very slow and all of the steps or service were sort of awkward. Even little things like the changing of silverware were done with a certain fumbling. He was further hindered by the fact that as a private club, they were clearly just not set up well for non-members and/or separate checks. All in all, the service end of it was a very well-intentioned train wreck. As far as atmosphere, I don't think they rolled out the best experience for prospective members. We were seated in a sort of weird spot away from the windows and the atmosphere just felt off somehow. It was comfortable enough, but we felt isolated. The background music was a strange pick and barely loud enough to drown out the silence of the place. I don't love a loud restaurant, but this place was uncomfortably quiet. The bathroom had seen better days and like the service, I just felt like it didn't match the concept. The food was so-so. The salad was the star of the meal - bright and flavorful. My only critique would be that they need to half the grapes (ever try to pick up a whole grape with a fork?) My steak entrée was very under-seasoned and lukewarm. The peach cobbler was ok. Not bad, but nothing to write home about. I actually might have preferred the chai crème brûlée that was on the menu, but they were out of it. At the end of the meal, the separate checks weren't entirely right (again, we didn't realize when we asked that they clearly just aren't set up for that sort of request). After 2+ hours though, we were ready to go, so we just went with it. Also at the end, we discovered that they add a service charge with a note explaining that it is not a tip nor a gratuity. Although I was happy to tip anyway, I felt like that probably should have been disclosed on the restaurant week advertising or during the reservation process. The night was topped off by the world's most confusing parking garage. It took 4 elevator rides to pay and return to the car (6-4, then switch elevator banks, 4-2 to find out that pay station closes at 7pm, 2-S to pay, then S-4 back to the car). The traffic pattern in the garage awkwardly changes and then changes back, so if you aren't careful, you could find yourself accidentally going down the up. Not a big deal - parking garages suck - but the comedy of us trying to figure out where to go sort of capped off what was already a weird experience. At the end of the day, if their participation in restaurant week was meant to bring in potential members and entice them to join, I feel like they really set themselves up for failure. At the very least, they missed the mark.

Had an awesome experience with my fiancé and enjoyed a delicious 5-course meal thanks to a gift from my brother-in-law. Every course was perfectly paired with a wine. Chef Cory from Fig & Ash was able to make a last minute exception for us and swapped out the pork with chicken. I appreciate the team here going the extra mile for us. The other couples that dined with us were very friendly and made the experience even better. ??

I was recently tasked with planning a luncheon to follow my Mother's memorial service. I live out of town and was in the throes of the first months of a new school year and feeling very overwhelmed. I wanted everything to be perfect, but felt very indecisive and a bit scattered, which is not typical. Ashley Barna, the wonderful River's Club event planner, was very patient with me and step by slow step, listened to my thoughts and laid out what she thought would be best, communicating regularly with me along the way.The event could not have been better! The room was lovely, quiet, and so well planned out as far as set-up was concerned. The lunch buffet was fantastic! We received many compliments from our guests on the excellent quality of the food. The bar service was attentive and efficient. From the moment I walked into the room, I felt completely at peace, and confident that everything was taken care of. I cannot thank Ashley and her wonderful staff enough ,for making our event a huge success! I would most definitely recommend The River's Club for any special event you plan to host!

Celebrating my wedding reception at the Rivers Club was the best decision! I loved working with their amazing event coordinators, Ashley and Cailin. They completely brought my vision to life! The food was AMAZING, everything was right on time, and the space is beautiful. Our guests had nothing but great things to say. If you are are looking for a wedding venue, I HIGHLY recommend the Rivers Club!

The host did not know what the soup of the day was. If you're using a pod for work, no one will come to see if you need anything. If you do order food in a pod, no one will check on you or take your dishes. We are recognized every time we go in, but they can't seem to remember we'll always want coffee and we're going to order lunch. Our food orders frequently come out wrong, and they know it. It's become a running joke with our server, "what's going to be wrong this time"? What does that say, when the server knows its going to be wrong. It's not difficult. A side of mayo or no lettuce or soup first. These are not big changes. Even when it's straight off of the menu with no changes it comes out incorrectly. I ordered a sandwich that featured a pesto ailio. No pesto ailio, when I asked, I was told that was a different sandwich, despite pointing it out on their own menu. I'm just not sure what the value of this membership is.

We had our wedding at The Rivers Club and we had the most amazing time. All of our guest loved the space, food, and drinks. We couldn’t be happier with our choice in having our wedding venue here. All the staff was amazing, and Ashley is the best wedding coordinator. She was incredible throughout the entire process even as we changed things last minute. We are on cloud 9 still from our amazing day and experienced.
