"Sunday brunch menu at 2P was nicely prepared and priced fairly. Not terrific, but definitely good. Service was nice and responsive. Outdoor seating on the deck with a stream view is pleasant. I will return when visiting Glenwood Springs."

"Ordered from the menu but didn't receive what was described. Was not told ahead of time that a substitution was being made for the
pastry. The substitution was a piece of carrot cake. The bloody mary was served with a cherry and was not good."

"The servers were very nice. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the view of the mountains and river. We had the more exotic dishes and they were well prepared and flavorful. We will go again next time we visit Glenwood Springs."

"Our adult children and their children (a party of 11) celebrated my wife's 60th birthday at Rivers. The ambiance is top-notch and the menu selection was good along with very reasonable prices. The service was excellent. It has been a long time since my wife and I have dined at such a pleasurable restaurant."

"Booked a reservation for Anniversary dinner with my wife. Expected it to be a little more romantic. Ended up with a group in the corner with a fussy baby. Not a problem I like kids as ours are raised and gone now. But was not expecting it to be a family restaurant.
That said, service was good, though when it got busy it appeared they were understaffed as service did slow a little. Food was very good. Overall experience was very good. I would go back, but I would not go back to book a romantic dinner. This is a well done family restaurant."

"We wanted to have a very special Valentine's Day dinner, and this place delivered. The food was delicious, the ambiance was lively but romantic, and the service was attentive. The only minor detraction was that the creme brulee was very slightly underbaked; but the flavors were vibrant. We recommend Rivers to anyone looking for a great place to eat in Glenwood Springs."

"We had relatively poor service. Everything just took a very long time. No water until after we had ordered (though the empty glasses were on the table waiting), no drink menu until 5 minutes after requesting one (there were drink menus on all the other tables). Other than that, it was great. The service was slow, but not non-existent or rude. This wasn't the first time I've eaten here either, and typically service is very good. We may have just been seated in a bad location in the room that was easily over-looked."
