ABOUT DINING OUT with RIVERTOWN SOCIAL

WHAT TO KNOW
• CHECK, PLEASE. If you are new to dining out with Rivertown Social please note that the check approach is as follows: whatever you order, is totaled and then you add 30% to account for a) tax and b) tip.
• SEPARATE CHECKS. Will confirm in comments below once I’ve found out if this will be offered by the restaurant.
• RSVP 'EXTRAVAGANZA'. As the group size is limited to 6 - as this enables the optimal experience for everyone - it is important to keep your RSVP status updated.
• If you are on the RSVP "yes" list and your plans change please update your status as soon as possible.
• If you are on the waitlist be on the lookout for a notification if a spot opens up - many times this occurs in the lead up to the event.
• If you are on the waitlist and you know in advance, for example say 2 days out your schedule will not be free to join for dinner, please move your RSVP to "no". In this way the next person in line can have the opportunity to join.
• I have this set up as an automatic waitlist, to mean as RSVPs change, and a space opens up, the next in sequence of RSVPing will be added into the event.
• I will post several reminders in the lead up to the event. Only these are all small businesses and a loss of a diner, is a loss in revenue so am mindful of this. Moreover, the restaurants I have chosen to date do not request a credit card guarantee so ever more the importance of keeping RSVPs updated. Thanks in advance for following the above!
• MENU. Please review the menu below to know about their menu direction.
• PARKING. There is a parking lot for the restaurant.
Hope to see you there!

ABOUT THE 76 HOUSE

View menu / info here: The 76 House

The ’76 House is not simply one of America’s oldest taverns. Built in 1668, The ’76 House had a profound effect on the outcome of The Revolutionary War. Through its long use as a meeting place for patriots, The Old ’76 House established itself as safe ground for Americans when the air was rife with revolution and the tavern itself served as the “prison” of the Revolution’s most notorious spy, Major John Andre. That is why The Old ’76 House is often referred to as “Andre’s Prison”, not a real prison, in fact never having been a place of incarceration for anyone before or since. On the contrary, The Old ’76 House has been a haven for many a weary traveler for more than two hundred years. This great tavern has accommodated on various occasions, every General of the west wing of the Continental Army including Commander-in-Chief General George Washington who, with his chief provisioner Samuel Fraunces, dined in the comfortable atmosphere of The Old ’76 House.

This evening there will also be live music.
