We were the only table, although 1 more joined before we left. The place didn’t even look open. Everyone is at the restaurant at the end of the pier instead. But all the food was prepared perfect, and served steaming hot. No complaints. Raegan the server very attentive. The other servers gathered in a spot a bit off the the main dining room. They could of kept their voices down, my opinion, as we could hear all their chatter.

Over all the food was great but the mixed drinks were slightly lacking. The service was decent but not stellar. We really liked the revamped look of it all and definitely will be going back.

Riverside Cafe consistently exceeds my expectations. The food is delicious, plentiful portions, large menu selection, pleasant wait staff, nice view of the river, entertainment on weekends, and very reasonable price point. I just had a seasonal salad with loads of fruit, almonds, blue cheese and grilled shrimp. Delish! Lastly, I love their freshly made warmed pita bread

You are paying to look at the marina. The food was mediocre at best. The service was absolute bare minimum effort.

Was making my was to Riverhouse but came here by accident for lunch. Glad I did! Not a huge selection of fish but the burger was really good. Quiet indoor seating and was greeted by a server promptly. Glad I came here by accident and will definitely come again!
