Our group had the riverside sampler + garden salad it was beautifully plated and tasty! I love coming here because I can try so many foods I've never heard of before, I always leave with a new favorite. Very vegetarian friendly as it is Mediterranean themed.

We decided to have my son's rehearsal dinner for his wedding here. We really wanted good Middle Eastern food for our guests. The riverside restaurant did a terrific job! Food was delicious and plentiful , The staff worked hard, and the price to serve a wonderful meal for 50 people was very reasonable. I would highly recommend for any type of banquet or celebration.
