Riverside Bistro

Reviews & Tips

  My brother and I went by last Sunday to try it out, figuring we could sit at the bar and see the river and sample some lunch. We sat at the bar and quickly noted the odor of paint and the place looked like it was decorated with stuff found at a bad yard sale.
  
  The bartender was clearly more interested in eating her lunch than catering to us. Eventually she asked us if we wanted anything and we ordered a beer. She didn't ask us once if we wanted to see a menu, so my brother asked for one when we got our  
  beers.
  
  The menu has nothing on it to suggest it's a bistro, it's all pub food and standard entrees. Riverside Pub would have been a much more appropriate name. Now skeptical, we decided to just try a cup of clam chowder to gauge the food before ordering more.
  
  After 20 minutes, the bartender - still downing her fries - shows up with
  them saying she didn't know she was supposed to go get them. Really? What we got was a bland, thick, pasty cup of fairly-tasteless glop. During our wait, we saw an endless stream of confusion from the staff, as if they were given zero information about the menu or procedures.
  
  We finished our beers and left, likely to never go back.
