1st time at this restaurant the service was excellent. The attendant was attentive and kind.Clam chowder was thick and yummy ($10) I ordered the keto plate ($40) the bread with butter was complimentary. The tips from keto board were tender juicy and divine the rainbow cauliflower and broccolini were cooked perfectly and so was the shrimp but the chicken breast was not to my liking the texture was off tasted like precooked Perdue chicken that was grilled and cut into strips too rubbery to me and chimmi churri sauce although I mixed it was just oily no flavor other that that everything was great.

While the Riverbend Bar & Grill boasts a picturesque view of the river that adds a special touch to dining experiences, my recent visit left much to be desired, particularly in terms of accommodating diverse dietary needs. The buffet, though extensive, falls short for those of us who are vegan or have specific dietary restrictions such as wheat, dairy, and nut allergies. The lack of ingredient listings on their assorted pastries further complicates matters for guests with sensitivities or preferences.Although I appreciate the variety offered, the overall menu felt limited. My order of eggs Benedict didn’t meet expectations as the yolk was medium soft instead of the runny consistency I anticipated. On a positive note, the omelet station was a highlight, demonstrating the potential for excellence this establishment has. However, I was disappointed to see that they’ve discontinued other specialty stations like the crepe/waffle station, which used to add an exciting variety to their brunch offerings.Riverbend Bar & Grill seems like a potentially good spot for brunch and families with children, thanks to its ambiance and kid-friendly options. However, I hope to see improvement in their consideration for guests with diverse dietary needs and a return of more varied stations to truly elevate the dining experience to match the beautiful riverside setting.

My husband and I had brunch there today and both felt sick from the smoked salmon we ate. It tasted like it was old and definitely not fresh! We were very disappointed and did not feel well from it.

We have family visiting from out of town and we were excited to get a reservation for a party of 8 at the last minute on a Sunday at 11:30. But, we were frustrated when we learned that breakfast ended at 11 am, and the restaurant was closed from 11 until 11:30 to set up for brunch buffet. And we could only order from the buffet or the lunch menu. Some of us wanted breakfast, but we did not want to pay $29. I ordered the quinoa bowl and it was disappointing. First of all, there was no bowl, it was a plate that was overflowing with quinoa, and not much else. The butternut squash was hard and cold. The chickpeas were good. But the ratio of quinoa to everything else was overwhelming. Those who got the buffet thought the food was good.

Why would you close your kitchen at 10pm if you're open till 12:30

Good Sunday brunch venue, with lots of seating, good food options. The Sunday menu is pretty confusing, with only $24 buffet available until 11:30, then lunch items or buffet...If you just want to have breakfast, kit's not happening. The venue is pretty, overlooking the river. Friendly service. A good place to spend time with friends and be able to hear each other.

You could tell that the restaurant is understaffed. Which is fine. But servers getting upset on the floor because a table got sat in their section is not a good look. Steaks were overcooked. Not once did they ask how things were. 4 drinks 1 appetizer 2 entrees = $186 with tip. High price for well below standard service.

Fabulous restaurant in a hotel. Even if I wasn't staying in the hotel, I would come back because the service, the food in the atmosphere was outstanding. Calamari was crunchy, fresh and delicious. The wings were cooked perfectly. The charcuterie board is the perfect size with a good amount of food. We all ordered burgers, and they were all cooked to the proper temperature and tasted delicious. The fries were crispy and crunchy and just the way fries are supposed to be. The portions are generous. The drinks are made by a professional bartender, who knows how to make cocktails the proper way. Overall, very top notch.
We stayed at the Marriott after driving into town in a rainstorm. We decided to eat in the hotel restaurant. Excellent clam chowder and the Mahi special was amazing. A little pricey but very good. I read the reviews and planned to go elsewhere, but the rain stopped me. Definitely worth a visit.

The food and service was all fine when we ate there fir breakfast but we made a dinner reservation through OpenTable, and they wouldn't honor it. They said their kitchen was closed and wouldn't think of opening it back up. We luckily found a delivery service that brought us some delicious Chinese food or we would have gone hungry that night.

If you find another option, literally any other alternative including Starbucks lunch boxes somewhere on the way, get them or order delivery. Food is gross here. Everything on the menu ( we had pasta, fries, flatbreads, steak, halibut, calamari, farro salad, quinoa salad) - everything is

I wish I had known about this restaurant sooner. The food and service were great. They have healthy and delicious options on the menu. Late at night, there was a nice vibe in the bar. Will be going back soon!
