What User likes about Riverside:
My companion and I enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea at this restaurant. The coffee was the best I've ever had, and the selection of cakes and sandwiches was excellent. The staff was outstanding, always attentive and looking after us. View all feedback. What dimitraCholi doesn't like about Riverside:
It’s unfortunate such a nice place to have such a bad service. Nice view and very promising location . Unfortunately the service is really bad . Doesn’t really exist . We were waiting an hour for someone to give us a menu , the staff didn’t even look at us . View all feedback.

We had a late lunch here on the deck, luckily in the sunshine. Food was good and view was even better.

Mixed reviews populate an article on this restaurant, with some customers raving about the view, food, and service, while others had a less than pleasant experience. A visitor enjoyed a delightful afternoon tea, praising the exceptional coffee, cakes, and sandwiches, and noting the outstanding staff. On the other hand, disappointment was expressed with inedible soup, slow service, inexperienced waitstaff, and lack of attention. Despite the varied opinions, a patron highly recommended the place for its delicious burgers, generous portion of fries, and unique taste, with reasonable prices and quick service that followed COVID-19 guidelines.
