Riverbank Bistro has earned its reputation. We've been here many times and each time it has been a delightful experience. The food is excellent from the delicious Forest Mushroom Soup to the Tenderloin cooked perfectly as ordered. The service is always courteous and attentive. Pleased to see the BC choices on the Wine Menu and we both particularly enjoyed the Nichol Syrah. Great for couples, friends or a nice business dinner. We are happy to be regulars!

Bistro has excellent food every time. They are consistent with the quality of your meal and the high level of service. It is a good place to dine for any occasion and has good ambiance. When warm the deck is nice close to the river even with a little road noise it is still pleasant. The wine list is fine - you can find something in a variety of price ranges if wine is your fancy. All in all a nice place to dine.

Outstanding overall! It’s just that my wife doesn’t eat 48$ worth of food and my kids (4 and 8) don’t eat 25$ worth of food. I know it’s Mother’s Day and it’s once a year, but this is to be mentioned.
