    Service and food was fantastic as always. Fresh, made from scratch. Portions are very large, most can be shared amongst two people, would most definitely recommend anyone stop in if in the area.

    I made a reservation on line which was seamless and easy. When we arrived we were greeted promptly and seated at our table right away. The service was exceptional and the food tasted great. We didn't have to wait long for our food to arrive either. Our reservation was for 6pm and I think we were done and out of there by 7pm. We will definitely be eating at The Riverside again.

    My wife and I went to the Riverside to celebrate our 49th anniversary. We used a gift card my daughter had gotten for us as a present. When getting seated our server asked if we were celebrating anything special so we told her, she congratulated us. For dinner I had the wings. I asked for mild but I should have gone for medium. Wings come breaded and are good size. My wife had the fish and chips which was very good. Both our portions were a good size requiring a doggie bag when we ate what we wanted. After our server cleared our table she returned with a piece of yummy cheese cake as a gift from the restaurant. Nice touch.

    Food arrived cold. Was offered more bread with our spinach dip (wasn’t given enough for the amount of dip) thinking it was free and instead we were charged. Capet looked Ike’s like it hasn’t been clean for a long time. The hamburger meat was not homemade Shots over priced for the location of the restaurant Over all not impressed and will not go back

    Everything was great except disappointed in wine. Pinot Grigio was very sweet. Also online asked if was a special cell. We registered it was a birthday. Unknown why it was asked as nothing was done, no piece of cake or acknowledgment.
