About Us
River Pointe Inn, is a new concept seeking to meet a gap Victor Rallo found in the local market - a quasi American, French bistro with great, meaningful hospitality.
The restaurant's concept statement is simple: Oysters, cocktails, and contemporary classics served in a warm space complete with chophouse flair, retro-glam decor and champagne toasts.
At the helm of the kitchen is Josh Laurano, NYC veteran who earned a Michelin star as Executive Chef during his time at La Sirena. His vision for the kitchen is simple - thoughtful American cooking rooted in European style, inspired by the bounty of the Garden State.
