I have been dying to try this place out for brunch.
And I finally made it and yes I will be back.
Our waitress was great.
The atmosphere was great, eating outside right by the water, with geese and gondolas floating by.
The pancakes were so delicious.
They just melted in your mouth.
I had a pomegranate mimosa, which was delicious.
Can’t wait to go back and try the eggs Benedict.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Maria! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your brunch experience at The River Bistro.
We're glad our waitress provided great service and that you loved the outdoor atmosphere by the water.
We're also happy to hear that you enjoyed our pancakes and pomegranate mimosa.
We can't wait to have you back and try our eggs Benedict! Thank you for your support, we truly appreciate it.

The food and atmosphere was excellent!! The quality of food was extremely fresh.
Our only issue was there was soooo much we wanted to eat, we will have to make several trips to try them all!! It’s worth the trip portions were great!! We will ABSOLUTELY be back! And you will NOT be disappointed.

We decided to brave the cold and give the River Bistro a visit for dinner.
We were pleasantly greeted into their warm,cozy restaurant.
Our dinner did not disappoint.
I had the chicken Parmesan which was cooked just the way I like it.
Nice and crispy on the edges and tender in the center.
It was delicious.
The portion was huge.
Two breasts and plenty of pasta which gave me a nice take home dinner for today too.
My husband seafood special which was a large piece of pan seared salmon, shrimp, and scallops on a bed of saffron rice.
He loved it.
The portion was large also.
What was especially nice was that the chef came out to our table to make sure that we were pleased with our entrees.
I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant.
Good food, large portions, nice atmosphere.
We certainly will be back!
