Stopped in for lunch. Food was excellent; served steaming hot, very fresh, and full of flavor. Service was great. Waiter was very Pleasant and friendly. We'll be happy to go back again.
Friendly service and great food. Menu is sort of upscale diner for breakfast (try the Crab Benedict!), fancy soup and sandwiches for lunch. The dining room is bright and airy with lots of wood details. Oh, FWIW, cash or check only, they don't take cards.
I have always enjoyed the Riverside for a couple of decades now, however today I inquired about the buckwheat pancakes because for years I have enjoyed them w Maine blueberries and real maple syrup here. A few weeks ago the pancakes were a bit fluffier and thicker than before and I didn't really think about it until I had some gut issues later that day. I am WHEAT sensitive so I have enjoyed being able to get pure buckwheat pancakes out at a restaurant but today I specifically asked the waitress to check w the kitchen to see of they had changed the recipe and if they now had WHEAT in the buckwheat pancakes. She thought they did not but she asked anyway and indeed they DO now Contain WHEAT . I am very disappointed. See I make good omelettes at home so the 100% buckwheat pancakes where such a special treat. I want to let other wheat sensitive folks out there so they don't figure the recipe is the same. Very saddened because I will now only visit when relatives are in town. I gave 3 stars because the other food has always been good especially the home fries.
Fantastic food, excellent service, reasonable prices.
My crab meat Eggs Benedicte was heavenly. My wife loved the special pumpkin pancakes. Tasty coffee available during our 20 minute wait. Attentive staff, nice artwork for sale on the walls, all in all great vibe.
There was a bit of a wait and it's cash only, but the service was excellent as was the food and atmosphere. Great place for breakfast.
