With its metropolitan flair and sleek minimalist design, River Grille is a little slice of the city right here in the Lehigh Valley. Although the Easton eatery has garnered praise for its ambience and stellar service, there is no denying that the food is the main attraction. The carefully-crafted, sophisticated menu offers delectable fare that would make any gastronome’s mouth water, especially the restaurant’s much-lauded Guinness-braised short ribs. Slowly cooked in the rich, creamy stout, the fork-tender meat is swathed in a flavorful pan sauce, topped with crisp onions and served alongside roasted carrots and garlic mashed potatoes. When paired with one of the full-bodied reds offered on the extensive wine list, this hearty dish becomes something otherworldly and a perfect meal for those cold winter nights.
