“Tried Noli’s for the first time last night and enjoyed it very much! Our server was friendly, helpful, and communicative! The atmosphere was very cozy and quieter than the chain sit down restaurants which I loved since my dad has trouble hearing sometimes. We tried the carbonara with shrimp, the Stromboli, pepperoni and pesto pizza! YUM! Their lemon drop martini was also amazing! All of our drinks and food came out timely and even when the sodas and waters came out first, our server communicated that they had to go make the martini but it took barely any time at all. Server even offered to box up our food! Will definitely recommend and be back!”

“This is a perfect place for a rehearsal dinner before a wedding! We had our rehearsal dinner in early June of 2024. At first, Riverview was hesitant to agree to cook for us as we requested a fully vegan meal. Cindy, the events coordinator, and Bub, the chef at Riverview, discussed this for a while though, and to our delight they eventually agreed to take on the challenge. Alternatively, they allow outside catering to be brought in, but we were happy to not have to deal with that.

Riverview created a feast for our group of 34 people which included parsley potatoes, green beans, salad, glazed baked tofu, wild rice, rolls, and a crockpot of lentil soup. It was soooo well prepared- I literally felt like I could eat this meal every day. Only 4 out of the 34 people in our group were vegan or even vegetarian yet everyone enjoyed the food immensely and were seriously impressed with how delicious the tofu was! We even ran out and Bub had to make more midway through the dinner even because even my meat loving brothers were just obsessed with it and piling it on their plates! With the bar in the room next door, and the complementary water, lemonade, and iced tea stand, we were more than satisfied with the drinks too. Importantly, you cannot beat their prices per person for the dinner (and drink prices at the bar for that matter!).

As the rehearsal dinner was winding down we started taking photos outside with the sunset in the background and it made for such a glorious backdrop to some pre-wedding photos. The view overlooking the course as well as the Wicomico River is simply breathtaking and very romantic.

Highly recommend Wicomico Shores/Riverview Banquet for your rehearsal dinner needs- Cindy and Bub will make sure you are well taken care of!

Vegetarian options: See my full review for more details, but with enough planning ahead, the chef at Riverview, Bub, has proven his talents in cooking vegetarian/vegan food for our rehearsal dinner! His baked tofu was to die for! I cannot comment how well he can accommodate vegetarian/vegan on a day-to-day basis but I know he can do it superbly with advanced notice! We asked them about a vegan rehearsal dinner about 2 months in advance.”

“Great service and great food .”

“Olde Town Pub We have always loved The Pub, so since we were getting married down the street, we decided we wanted to have our rehearsal dinner here. The staff gave us the entire outside area on the left. We were catered to, taken care of, and fed with amazing food. The wings are always delicious, the drinks are consistently rotating to try new beers, and the staff is always kind and helpful. You can’t go wrong going here for any reason!”

“We stopped in for a cup of coffee and ended up having breakfast too. Happy Hill Coffee has great coffee and awesome food. It has a warm, cozy, inviting atmosphere and I will definitely be back again. I highly recommend giving them a try.”

“Out of Order and Friends Band!”

“I finally tried this amazing place today. Definitely the best place to get a latte and crepe in Maryland! I will be back!”

“The seafood was delicious, with ample servings. The bread pudding dessert was extraordinary. We will be returning!”

“Today was our first time here and I loved it! I’m a girl who likes to order a bunch of small items, and this was just perfect. I had the Kani salad, miso soup, and a shrimp tempura roll—all were delicious and they made alterations without any issue. Boyfriend had a tuna roll and the chicken/shrimp hibachi lunch. He enjoyed those also! Will definitely be back!!”

“Unfriendliest staff ever!”
