    River Cafe was absolutely delightful. It's setting in Prince's Island Park makes it a real experience because you have to park in a city lot or on the street and then walk about 10 minutes into the park to get to the restaurant (hint: street parking is free after 6pm, so plan your reservation accordingly), so there is a kind of built-in "chill time" before you even walk through the impressive front doors. The setting is mountain cabin kitsch, the service is casual but very professional, and the food is simply excellent. Have a cocktail, peruse the impressive wine list (with a healthy Canadian component), for God's sake get the pea agnolotti, tuck in to the delicious and imaginative entrees and all will be well.
