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

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.

The food is ok, some days its cold food...the restaurant itself is so cold you keep your jacket on. The service isnt 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. Wont be back
