We enjoy dining here. We like to listen to the live music. They used to have a blackberry brisket sandwich that was delicious!
Happy hour is a great time to try different menu items. I love the lighting with swirled decor. It is always clean and elegant. Highly recommend.

It doesn't have too many options for food. Also, you can't know what else they can serve you. I had to ask if they have juice or bread. My first time going therr, and the last too.

I had to order the salmon tacos twice they were so good. My husband had the French dip and said it was really good. Just pop on in for a nice dinner and some music. You won't be disappointed.

Came here for Christmas dinner. I had the Prime Rib Special. Way overcooked and chewy. Fried zucchini was greasy and mostly batter. Potato salad was decent. Other in my party had the hot honey chicken sandwich with sweet waffle fries. Fries were very greasy and the sandwich was decent. This is a typical hotel restaurant. Service was lackluster. After dinner coffee was lukewarm and tastes like it had been there a while. Nothing special, not great but the only place around that was open. I wouldn’t go back.

It was overall good. It was Christmas and I believe they were short staffed. The service was not too personable.

Food was good and enjoyed live music. Price matched food quality. Very nice dining experience!

Filet was delicious despite being one step overcooked (medium instead of medium rare). The sweet potato waffle fries were wonderful and crisp. The ambiance is cafeteria lighting which was awful. It gave all you can eat buffet. I'm glad we hung in though because food was excellent as was the service. I can see why we were the only party, though...

We made a reservation this year for the Thanksgiving Buffet, after reading the food items that would be part of their menu. Unfortunately, the published buffet offerings were not what was available on Thursday, specifically the salmon for our non-meat eater. That was not the only item missing; there was no carving station-the ham and turkey were pre-, sliced and in warming pans(dried out and not really warm. One of the problems our guests complained of was that the foods in the main buffet were cold or barely warm. They would not have passed health inspection required temperatures. We wanted to have a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with all the good-sounding choices on their published menu; but it was not. We won't go there again.

The Thanksgiving buffet here was the equivalent of a hotel continental breakfast, except it was $50 a plate, what a ripoff, I definitely won't be back.

The Thanksgiving buffet was terrible. What’s going on with this place? You have one short lineup of buffet offerings for holiday reservations? One potato option, one sweet potato, one ham, one dry turkey, lumpy and cold gravy. Two salad dressings, one being out for the entirety of our meal. You didn’t even serve rolls… on thanksgiving! It was like eating at an old Holiday Inn for Thanksgiving, or a truck stop buffet.

We had Thanksgiving dinner at Riverside, it was wonderful.  We will definitely eat there again for Thanksgiving!! Highly recommended!

We about finished our food by the time we were waited on for drinks. Had to wait for fresh food to be set out, the food was dry initially. Didn't feel like a $140 dinner. Felt more like a $70 dollar dinner.

Our experience for Thanksgiving dinner 2025 was ok. We were seated in the main dinning room, which is bright and open, other tables/guests close by. The waitress was efficient and not overly friendly, barely gave us directions to closest buffet line. Presentation of the food was OK. However, there weren't placards stating the contents of the chafing tray ie turkey vs pork. The food wasn't overly warm, desserts good, it was very expensive, which included a 20% service fee. The best part was not having to cook or clean up. Not sure we will do a buffet at the Riverside again.

Really enjoyed the Thanksgiving buffet. All of the food was delicious. We were seated in the Sapphire Room. There were 2 gentleman playing guitar and singing that were really good. The music they played was perfect. The wait staff were very attentive. This was our first time there. Will be going back again.
