    Minimal staff in the kitchen leads to long wait times for the tasty food. Waited about 75 minutes from ordering to food arriving at the table with a few other tables. Same thing both times I was there.

    On a Saturday night, We were sitting there with some friends and some young (30’s) people came in that we’re having a little bit of fun, but were not belligerent in anyway In fact, they were lovely professional people. The one Waitress or manager Sent them out and in fact called the police on them and they were walking. What a horrible way to treat people. I won’t be going back to that restaurant/pub

    sat inside for 10 minutes and a server didn’t even come over to us. went up to the bar and asked if we were supposed to order at the bar because we’d never been there before and a server rudely said “one sec”. sat back down, watched her point at us to another server and they both went outside? waited another 10 mins and just left. definitely won’t be coming back lol. horrible service

    Riverside restaurant and bar has a beautiful patio over looking the river and is in a prime location. Unfortunately, the servers are not very friendly at all. The menu is very small with very limited options. We ordered a half salad with chicken and were very disappointed with the quality. The chicken is very clearly processed and frozen, and they bake it in the oven instead of on a grill, making it chewy and hardly edible. We would have happily paid twice as much for a salad with quality ingredients.

    Great food, servers made great suggestions and we're very friendly! So cool to be right over the water. Visited on a big snowflake day and it was great atmosphere!

    The food is ok, some days it's cold food...the restaurant itself is so cold you keep your jacket on. The service isn't even the bare minimum. No offer for more coffee or hot water for tea. No pleasantries exchanged, just here is your food. We have tried a few times but nothing changes. Won't be back

    Good food, seemed like they were short of staff, but the staff they had was good.

    Nice big pub. Lots of tables and excellent patio overlooking the river. Price were moderate, food was good. Easy parking. Liquor store and coffee bar also.
