If you ever want to plan an event here? Don?t! Not unless you want your event to feel rushed. This places staff lacks ethics... towards their PAYING customers. We reserved river bistro for my sisters shower. We carried in various HEAVY decorations as wellas party favors and were offered no help whatsoever with carrying ANYTHING. They lack organizational skill and communicationskills with their staff EXCEPT for when it was time to clean up, all of a sudden everyone but us were on the right page. None ofthe staff knew where our room was for the event when asked. They showed one of our guest to 2 different events happening at thefacility before they got to the right one. And to top it all off our event was supposed to end at 4:30 pm the staff startedcleaning up at 4:10. The food YOU PAY for at the buffet if not eaten gets thrown away not packed up for you. The staff startedthrowing our party favors such as cups and pencils away when no one informed them to do so. They didn?t ask what to keep or whatto throw away instead they just threw ANYTHING away. We had to stop our game mid way because they were cleaning everything. Wefelt extremely rushed and it was all because they had planned ANOTHER event back to back with ours with an hour to spare ontheir part. Our guests were extremely disappointed with their services and their behavior and beyond disturbed by the way theycommunicated. The food was good and so were the drinks but it all got ruined by the way things were handled towards the end. Thespace we got was spacious and bright. But I think my sisters and I as well as our guest agree THAT WE WILL NEVER HOST ANOTHEREVENT FROM THIS PLACE AGAIN!!! Read more

The hot lobster rolls were really good. The outdoor dining option was perfect for this day, it gives the restaurant a different... ambiance. Our waiter was friendly and quick with taking our orders. Food came out quickly and was nice and hot. Would recommendothers to try. Read more

Have only gotten take out from here & it?s always been pretty good, but the other night we got take out and the amount of... spinach dip we got was embarrassing. It barely filled up the container and could?ve been eaten by maybe one person, if that. Forall the bread they give you, you?d think it was a huge portion. It was really disappointing and I will definitely think twiceabout getting take out from here again. Read more

Went to Riverview Bistro with the family and can?t say enough about this place! We were sat right away and had the most... attentive, professional, and kind server, Linda! It seemed like she had many large tables other than ours and she always tookthe time to make conversation with us and ensure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious and hot! Will definitelymake this place a regular summertime spot and you should too! Read more

I guess you get what you pay for? $28.99 for a Cesar salad ..4 shrimp and 3 small pieces of salmon?. the salmon looks below 4... ounces?wait staff is friendly and courteous?. but the portion control could use some improvement Read more
