    We always enjoy Riverside and love that we can walk or golf cart over to it. If I’m not very hungry one of their great appetizers and a side salad is perfect. If you get dessert, you can’t miss with “the brownie”……4 of us shared it the other day and it was just enough….it is YUGE, warm, and scrumptious with vanilla ice cream as the perfect topping! ❤️

    I always enjoy going to my neighborhood restaurant. There were 7 of us and 6 had not been there before. Everyone enjoyed their food and the special Christmas cocktails. Ryan was our server and he did an excellent job.

    We went to Riverside Kitchen & Bar to celebrate my birthday. We made reservations on OpenTable and had no issues. We went for brunch and the food was great. My husband and son got the biscuits and gravy. They liked it but it wasn’t their favorite. I got the breakfast burrito and could only eat half. They gave me a free dessert for my birthday and I enjoyed the homemade tiramisu. My husband got the brownie a la mode and my son got the chocolate torte. We may go back just for dessert. The service was great and we can’t wait to go back.

    Brunch is our favorite at Riverside. Twelve of us meet there every Sunday for brunch. Great neighborhood vibe. Omelette station is the best.
