Honestly, this place is such a gem. The service was spot on, multiple staff members were around and extremely attentive as well as knowledgeable on specials and menu items. The atmosphere was very quaint and cozy, with a wonderful view of the river. Very nicely decorated and set up as well. Everything was amazing and prepared very well. But the shining star of the visit was most definitely the bread. Home made pumpkin loaf.(I was told this was made by the owners mother.) I would come back for that alone! All and all, will most definitely be a regular spot for road-trips through the upper east coast. Thank you so much for your hospitality!
Had a wonderful experience here for dinner with a friend. From start to finish, it is a well run establishment. Drinks were on point as well as the food. The stuffed pork was great and had endless salad and home made bread to satisfy all.
Just had major surgery and along with my friends driving home, we stopped in for some unique food and lovely view in their cozy, healing atmosphere. I even felt comfortable enough telling everyone what I was going through. The good cheer and delicious meal got me through a tough evening. We will be definately back.
Food was impressive. simple and cozy restaurant with an active bar. Very casual atmosphere. Service was great, never an empty water glass, Alica was our server and she took great care of us.
Restaurant food was delicious and our waiter Devin was excellent.
Alisha was our server and really knew her menu. The view from the atrium where we ate was breathtaking but the upscale nature of the meal was a pleasant surprise as it still kept in step with current Trendy culinary techniques. The execution was spot on particularly difficult as it was a very busy Saturday night. Its this kind of attention to detail we strive for in our pickup and delivery, heavy truck service and Sales experience at North Easy Ford. This meal was an experience that was noteworthy for my training meetings as mirroring the experience at Riverside cafe with Alisha was truly admirable
Excellent food and great service. So many great choices on the menu and the specials were great as well. Staff was very polite and helpful.
Just came here for dinner while visiting town. And dinner was fantastic. Salad and homemade bread comes with every dinner and the asian sesame dressing is soooo good. German stule faire. We had the gnocci special and the grilled pork tenderloin. Both were AMAZING! Only wish we had more room for dessert.
