It opened in June of 1977 after twelve years of obtaining permits and other prep work, and owner Michael "Buzzy" O'Keeffe also operates other venues including Manhattan's Water Club. While early reviews of their food were mixed, the restaurant was one of the first in the city to promote high-end California wines when many were limiting their menus in French wines.While staff such as the wine director stayed for more than forty years, the restaurant is known for incubating American chefs, including Larry Forgione, Charlie Palmer, David Burke and Rick Laakkonen.The restaurant was heavily damaged due to Hurricane Sandy and re-opened in February 2014 with a change in its wine focus. Long before DUMBO/Fulton Ferry was accessible via NYC Ferry, the restaurant offered a house ferry from Wall Street. Despite changes to the dining industry as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, The River Cafe remains a dress code of jackets required.
