I would love to love Riverside Cafe but......
Fruit plate arrived with ample melon and other stuff but both the melon varieties were so under ripe as to be hard and tasteless. When I mentioned this to the waitress she spent some time telling us how stupid the people were in the kitchen, did not offer any amends and came back with the bill. I just wanted her to alert kitchen staff so as not to serve until real fruit available. I asked for the manager, none available.
Some urgent oversight needed there. Sylvia's next time.

If you're into school cafeteria quality food and service, then this is your kind of place. We had breakfast here at what looked like a nice, busy, casual diner with a great downtown location. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our food -- the quantity was fine but the taste and quality was very lacking...for basic breakfast fare! Service was just perfunctory--staff worked hard but none showed even a basic sign of customer care or friendliness.

Told us it would be 25 min wait. 40 min later sat at our table. After 2 cups of coffee (35min)and still no food( all the other tables surrounding us had no food either) we left $5 on table and left. Not worth the wait

Excellent food. Service was friendly but "unrushed". Was a bit crowded and unruly at some moments. Seemed like they could have used one more person and a little organization to be way more efficient.
Breakfast was good, and the wait was not too bad especially since we were there on a Sunday morning. Much more of a brunch time than breakfast. The coffee was not the best, the beans tasted burnt. They have a good amount of space in Which to seat guests. Service was fine, nothing special to write home about. She was getting the job done. The buckwheat and pancakes were subpar, I think those were overcooked as well. The eggs Beni options we selected were good.
Really cool, busy, old school spot and very pleasant, friendly staff but the food wasn't good. Our expectations were high and thought it was tough to mess up brunch food, but the omelettes were not good. No care taken to cook and mix the ingredients together. Homemade biscuit weak, even toast not great. Every else was just OK. Bathrooms really dirty which is a turn off. Disappointing.

The food is not bad, but the waiting time is toooo long. And be careful, they automatically include >20% tips (we are a group of 3 people)!

Waiting 20 minutes to get the order wrong, watery eggs and 22% automatically added as a tip just feels wrong.

Service and food was amazing. Would come back here again, affordable food and well worth it, as it was delicious. I definitely recommend getting a toasted blueberry muffin, it was the best thing we got.
