The River Café is a restaurant located in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn, in New York City. The building was founded in 1977 by Michael O’Keefe, who also owns The Water Club in Manhattan.[1] Past chefs include David Burke, Larry Forgione, and Charlie Palmer. As of 2017, chef Brad Steelman had been there for 17 years.[2] The restaurant has been reviewed twice by the New York Times and received two stars both times.[3][4]

Hurricane Sandy

The restaurant is located on an underwater pier in the East River[5] and was damaged by flooding during Hurricane Sandy.[1] The damage included corroded wire, lost food and wine, and the destruction of antiques and a piano. Walls also needed replacement after the storm due to mold.[6] The restaurant was closed for over a year while being repaired, despite hopes that it would open either on the anniversary of the storm or around Thanksgiving in 2013.[7]

Criticism

In 2012, the restaurant was accused of discriminating against Jewish patrons.[8] Workers alleged that reservationists were instructed to alert the maitre d’ if Hasidic clients requested a seat at the restaurant's main bar using the phrase "Is there space for two at the water bar?". An employee denied these claims. However, the New York Post sent a Hasidic couple and two reporters to the restaurant to see if the minimum would be enforced for both pairs. The Hasidic couple was charged a minimum, while the reporters were not.[8]
