River City Grill has been recognized by national publications for bringing something genuinely unexpected to the Southwest Arizona dining scene.
"Innovative seafood in a stylish setting."
Sunset Magazine traveled to Yuma and found River City Grill at the center of a downtown transformation. Their feature, "Yuma Gets Cool," captured what locals already knew: that something special was happening on First Avenue.
"In Southwest Arizona, a chic downtown complements a rich riverfront heritage. Over on First Avenue, other restored adobe buildings house interesting shops. And just a few blocks away, Yuma's new restaurant, the River City Grill, gives a nod, at least in name, to the town's historic ties to the Colorado River. Eclectic menu, urban style."
"In Yuma, Ariz., we discovered a delicious find: curried mussels with lobster ravioli, pistachio-crusted salmon, rack of lamb, even mustard-crusted tofu with spinach ravioli. So many enticing choices."
Los Angeles Times readers called out River City Grill by name in their travel recommendations, praising a menu that manages to surprise even seasoned diners with its range and execution.
