Got a little confused with our order but steak sandwich was perfect and the $4. 50 Corona was surprising!

Riverside restaurant and bar has a beautiful patio over looking the river and is in a prime location.Unfortunately, the servers are not very friendly at all. The menu is very small with very limited options. We ordered a half salad with chicken and were very disappointed with the quality. The chicken is very clearly processed and frozen, and they bake it in the oven instead of on a grill, making it chewy and hardly edible.We would have happily paid twice as much for a salad with quality ingredients.

sat inside for 10 minutes and a server didn’t even come over to us. went up to the bar and asked if we were supposed to order at the bar because we’d never been there before and a server rudely said “one sec”. sat back down, watched her point at us to another server and they both went outside? waited another 10 mins and just left. definitely won’t be coming back lol. horrible service

Great food, servers made great suggestions and we're very friendly! So cool to be right over the water. Visited on a big snowflake day and it was great atmosphere!

Such a comfy bed and well appointed, quiet room. The check in was easy, friendly and efficient. We were very pleased with our room. There is no elevator, but our room was up a short flight of stairs. Lots of parking on site. We would definitely stay here again!

So glad we came across this little gem. The bed and pillows were super comfy and the room was very clean! We liked that there was a coffee shop and lounge in the building. At check in I met Gerrie. She was super accommodating and pleasant ? Considering she was in charge of cleaning all the rooms, tending to guests and running the front desk, , , she dealt with us in a very timely manner with a smile on her face! We will definitely be back ?

The food is ok, some days it's cold food...the restaurant itself is so cold you keep your jacket on. The service isn't even the bare minimum. No offer for more coffee or hot water for tea. No pleasantries exchanged, just here is your food. We have tried a few times but nothing changes. Won't be

We arrived after 5pm but that wasn't a problem. Checked-in by a really lovely lady who explained everything to us. The property wasn't too busy - we were the only car in the parking lot! Nicely appointed room - clean - great to have a small fridge, too. Walked to the grocery store expecting to purchase food for our hike the next day but it was closed due to staffing issues. Ate Japanese which was not great. Served in take-out containers. Not an enjoyable dining experience.

Good food, seemed like they were short of staff, but the staff they had was good.
