LeFever's River Grille Restaurant Reviews:

Ken Stewart's it's not July 03, 2007 Food Service Atmosphere Cleanliness Overall        My husband and I were dined at Lefever's restaurant on a Tuesday night around 8 pm. We waited for about an hour for a table and received excellent service at the bar. We planned to sit on the patio and were very happy with our table overlooking the nearby river. However, we were thouroughly dissapointed with our dining experience. We waited over an hour for the appetizer to arrive. Salads...another 30 minutes. By the time our dinner arrived the food was cold and average at best. The wait staff was unfriendly and unappologetic for the long wait. We actually had to locate an additional server to help with our bill since our waitress never came back to check on us. The food is overpriced and the selection fair. With restaraunts like Ken Stewarts, Hyde Park Grill, and Flemmings nearby there is no need to waste you time or money here. Review By: Anonymous Review From: Akron, Ohio

June 03, 2005        Both the food and the view keep patrons coming back to this popular Cuyahoga Falls establishment. Its slogan, ""Hot Food?Cool View,"" is no idle boast; wherever they are in the bar or main dining area, diners can look out on the Cuyahoga River and the falls for which the city is named. Bob LeFever, who opened the restaurant more than six years ago, has created a contemporary space that is at once smart and comfortable. Accents include brick walls, colorful modern lamps and, of course, plenty of windows. The food, created by Chef Andrew Pluck, is no afterthought to the scenery: ""Small plates"" of artichoke fritters, pan-roasted mussels and roasted Hungarian wax peppers (with sweet Italian sausage and cheese) are among the many dishes served at either lunch or dinner. Evening entrees range from an upscale macaroni and cheese (with chorizo sausage and Manchego and chevre cheeses) to beef tenderloin medallions au poivre (served with brandy, green peppercorns, shallots, crispy Parmesan potatoes and asparagus).

A Tucked Away Treasure March 28, 2005 Food Service Atmosphere Cleanliness Overall        If great food, fine wine, and a romantic atmosphere are what your looking for, LeFever's River Grille is the place for you. Not only will the charming views of the Cuyahoga River, and elegant decor sweep you off your feet but the menu is sure to please as well. The appetizer of steamed mussels with chorizo are by far the best around at approx. $14. For dinner I highly recommend the surf and turf, a very large filet with an almost equally sized succulant lobster tail, priced around $38. I also found the staff to be very knowledgable on both the food and wine selection. All in all LeFever's is a pricey but well worth it treat! Review By: Jennifer Johnson From cuyahoga falls
