There are two upstairs rooms, which have been used as an art gallery but which could be employed for private parties or gatherings. A front balcony overlooking Valley Street is a pleasant space to have a coffee on a warm summer morning. Views from here are of a steep wooded hillside, providing a sense of privacy and ambience. For the chef, the kitchen is a dream. Designed by owners who spent years working on yachts catering to those for whom the cost of things was no object, the work spaces are efficiently designed for optimum ease of food preparation in a comfortable environment that is easy to clean and maintain.
All equipment is in place.
Unfortunately, The River Rat was closed in 2000 due to health reasons, and the community has sorely missed dining here. In fact, quite literally, a new owner need only bring in food and open the doors for business.
