The River Café is a fine-dining American restaurant on the water under the Brooklyn Bridge in DUMBO, open since June 1977.

Reviewers rave about the views across the East River to the Manhattan skyline and the impeccable service. The six-course chef’s tasting menu, sea scallop with pork belly and handmade chocolates are highlights.
