Service was amazing. Everything was delicious, drink was spectacular. Very nice vibes here, definitely a must try.

We were instantly sat outside upon our request but it soon became cold so we asked to move inside. They instantly moved us. We ordered oyster Rockefeller as an appetizer off the specials menu (it's different everyday). These were the absolute best oysters Rockefeller I've ever experienced. I didn't have to add any sauce. It was to die for. I wish they had them on the regular menu. They were extremely busy but Natalie was always checking in on us. I had a bottle of moscato that I was able to take what was left home. I try to make this a weekly outing if I can. My only request is the manager keeps her cool a little better. We heard her scream at an employee in the restroom and the time before that she was freaking out about a water leak in the bar. Things happen in the restaurant world but it's best not to alarm your customers without frantically meaning to. Other than that we've always had a great experience at this location.

The food here is always so delish! The mega pretzel was so warm, soft, and salty and the Porky's Revenge Mac N Cheese was full of flavor and comfort. The service is spectacular as always. Definitely one of my fav spots in VB!!

Orange crush & Pina colada's were delicious & beautifully made. Food was just as amazing & picture perfect. So much to choose from. The firecracker shrimp as our appetizer was a huge hit. The portions were well above average. Definitely needed to go boxes. The service was outstanding. Our waitress Becca was a treasure to the establishment. She was courteous, friendly & shared some lighthearted laughs with us. Very attentive & made sure our experience was the best. Such a wonderful tavern that was warm quiet & inviting. We always look forward to stopping in when we are in town. By far our favorite place to wine, dine & unwind.

Nice bar/tavern atmosphere- soft lighting, dark wood furniture. We were a larger party of about eight, celebrating a birthday and our service was pretty good in terms of speed and was very accommodating -- I would rate the service we got that evening as 8/10. Now for the food... The portions were healthy, and the food was fresh. Well seasoned and delicious. Everyone enjoyed their individual meals and we ordered the charcuterie and big pretzel for the table to share and everyone enjoyed that very much--charcuterie had lots of variety and was a great appetizer for a larger party to share. The menu is creative and extensive. I will definitely be back to visit this place again and again to work my way through the menu. P.S. GET THE WINGS!!

While in town, my friends and I stopped at New River Tap House, and I'm so glad we did! There was no wait on Sunday, which was a definite plus. The service was great, and we loved their mimosa flights--you can choose from about ten flavors, and it was a 10/10 experience. The Crab Cake Benedict was delicious, and my friends enjoyed the pizza and French toast. The turkey bacon was crispy and delightful. Definitely recommend stopping by for brunch if you're in the area!

Great spot for a date night or intimate group dinner! The food menu has a good variety of classic bar food and the cocktail menu was good as well. They had an awesome special menu, both for food and drinks. A tad bit on the pricier side but nothing too terrible. I ordered a mac and cheese and my friends ordered their burgers and pizzas and I think one of them tried an entree from their specials menu. The general consensus was that the food was delicious! And as a group we made the best decision of the night: we ordered a cast iron cookie topped with vanilla ice cream for dessert. You can see in the pictures that it didn't last long on our table.... 10/10 highly recommend new river taphouse!

Took myself on a solo date and decided to try new river ! I sat outside by the water, and it was very nice even on a hot, muggy day! There was plenty of shade, and they have plenty of fans blowing. I tried the New River Old Fashioned. It wasn't my cup of tea but I am not usually a whiskey drinker. The chorizo and mac and cheese egg roll appetizer with the house made ranch were very good! As an entree, I got the seafood sampler. I liked that I was able to have my crab cakes grilled instead of fried! It was a lot of food, and that was good as well. I have practically an entire meal to take home! My server was very nice and attentive, and everything I ordered came out super fast while still being fresh. Would recommend! I will be back.

We went to New River Tap House to celebrate a birthday and were so glad we chose this place! We went on a Friday night and it was pretty packed and busy. We were told the wait would be about 40 minutes for our group of 6 but we only waited about 15 minutes! The ambiance when you walk in is tavern-like but for some reason it seems a little more upscale in my opinion. Their upstairs can be rented out for large parties up to 50 people and it definitely gives Great Gatsby vibes! You could definitely dress it up to come here or keep it casual. Now the food is SPECTACULAR. We started off with an espresso martini, we tried both the regular and the frozen one. Both were quite amazing and well-balanced! I like mine a little more sweet and a little less strong but these 2 seemed to have the perfect balance between the 2. We had the Mega Pretzel as an appetizer and boy they weren't lying when they said this thing was Mega. The pretzel came with 3 dipping sauces: cheese, mustard and cinnamon. I unfortunately did not try the cheese but the mustard and cinnamon spreads were chefs kiss. The mustard was heavy on the horse radish so if you don't like that kind of taste I wouldn't go for that, but I loved it. The cinnamon was sweet but not too sweet. I ordered the surf and turf and all I can say is I inhaled the entire thing. My goodness. I ordered the filet medium rare and they gave me just that. It was cooked to perfection. The harmony between the risotto, the fresh veggies, pickled veggies, meat and shrimp was just heavenly. The kale was roasted perfectly and literally crumbled in your mouth as you ate it. The watermelon radish and cucumbers added a nice refreshing touch. The pickled veggies were a little spicy to my liking due to the jalapeño but if you don't mind a little spice you'd probably love it. I honestly still ate it all because it was just THAT good. Everything on this dish was well thought out. I loved all of it. If you're debating between this dish and another, just go ahead and do yourself a favor and pick this one haha. You won't be disappointed. I definitely plan on coming back to try more things, but man that surf and turf entree is going to make it hard for me to order anything else haha. Highly highly recommend this place for anyone in the area looking for great food, great service and just an overall good experience.

New River Taphouse has been on my list of restaurants to try for a while so I decided to stop in and check them out. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and I love how they have indoor and outdoor seating. If it were slightly warmer, I definitely would have sat outside. Our server greeted us right away and had such a great personality. She mentioned how every item on the menu was great and we couldn't go wrong with whatever we chose. After looking over the Drink Menu, I chose the Hot & Juicy Margarita which included fresh blood orange and lime juices with hot honey and a tajin rim! It was absolutely wonderful! For my entree, I ordered the Seafood Sampler, which included fried flounder, fried jumbo shrimp, and a crab cake along with fries and cole slaw. The seafood was pretty good but my favorite was the flounder and shrimp, which were cooked perfectly and tasted very fresh. Unfortunately, the crab cake was mediocre and was missing some flavor. Overall, the service was absolutely wonderful and with the menu having such an array of items, I definitely plan on returning to try other entrees and drinks.
