Riverside Steak & Seafood

We very much enjoyed our meal at Riverside. Our food was well prepared and delicious. Our waitress was excellent! She was very attentive and made sure our drinks were never empty. It is a pricey restaurant but well worth the cost for the quality of the food and service.

Dietary restrictions: One in our party had a list of ingredients that she couldn't have. Our server took the list and consulted with the chef and advised against some entrees and recommended a couple other options.

This is a gem of a restaurant. We had a party of four and ordered various things, including steak and seafood. There was not a single thing we could say “this could be better”.

We sat upstairs and it’s a nice atmosphere. That waitress was awesome and had the chefs build me a custom tuna dinner.

AMAZING!

The food was great, very loud, though, hard to enjoy the meal.

The food was great, the atmosphere was comfortable and we were treated like any other customers even though we were a little dirty from work. The service and treatment was spectacular and even after I left the establishment and left my company credit card behind, the staff was so helpful and sent me my business card next day. It was so appreciated and made the experience that much better knowing that good restaurants still exist and even better people still exist in this word. Thank you to the staff and great experience.

Love the history tied to this building. Very cool place to see. Right next to historic downtown Swansboro. We were seated quickly and taken care of very well and with much professionalism. Our waiter knew it all and helped us with everything we needed. I ordered just my usual steak and potatoes. It was cooked very well and it was all so good! My only complaint with the whole experience was my steak had no flavor. It was cooked perfectly, but I didn’t get any taste. No salt or pepper even. Just tasted like a hunk of meat. Anyways, besides that it was an awesome experience. Thank you guys for an awesome dinner and even better evening!

We had a reservation and they accommodated my group for an early weeknight dinner. The food was delicious. They had a lot of specials to round out their regular menu. I had crab ravioli with shrimp and scallops. Service was good.

The best thing to eat here are the fried oysters, and their bread is amazing. I've been here several times, and the food is very bland lacking seasoning. Even something as simple as a crab cake and I couldn't taste any crab...

Always a great meal and wonderful service
