" Last night, I had the pleasure of hosting my parents' anniversary dinner at Rive Bistro. From the moment we walked in, we were enchanted by the charming decorations and the warm river view. We all went for the classic steak frites, and they did not disappoint! Cooked to perfection, with the right amount of seasoning. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and made wonderful wine pairings for our meals. I also appreciated how they catered to my dad's gluten allergy, ensuring he had delightful options.
