It's a family restaurant. There wasn't much space between the tables. A food it was nice with generous portions. It was innovative because we can scan a QR code for watch a menu. And a service it was good.

Went in for a quick bite after a leisure hike. The food is NOT good and for the price a CRIME. The $22 10” pizza with caramelized onion and bacon was not good. Extremely salty and the white sauce tasted like cream cheese. The $15 salad was a complete joke. Wish I took a picture. Two miniature slices of beet thrown in with about 20 pcs of lettuce. Only restaurant in 2025 that doesn’t accept credit cards…only cash. After the rude hostess sat us, we should have left. Trust your gut and save your gut. Skip this. Lots of other places on Main Street.

The eggplant parmigiana is excellent! Our waitress Mindy is terrific. She is pleasant, friendly and very accommodating. It is always an a wonderful experience going to Riverview Restaurant.

Love the food here. I've never been unimpressed no matter what I've ordered. The eggplant was delicious, the salmon is always delicious, mushroom soup was delectable. Always impressed.

Ravioli was overcooked and sauce tasted like it’s out of a can. Weird that they listed it on the “specials”

From the moment we were greeted, the staff radiated a friendly and welcoming energy that continued throughout the entire dinner. The views, especially from the patio, were remarkable. The food was incredible. I enjoyed a Beyond Burger served with the most delicious fries and freshest toppings. There is truly something special about this spot.

Great restaurant with amazing view. They have daily specials .
Everything about my visit here was phenomenal! The staff were so kind and accommodating - hostess Joanne and waitress AnnMarie were both excellent. The Oysters were honestly the BEST I’ve had in a long time! 10/10. Owner was very nice too. I’ll definitely be back!

After a great day in Cold Spring I really tried to give this restaurant the benefit of a doubt. When walking in, the hostess, a women with blonde hair, stared at us. I didn’t mind it, but I was confused on where to sit and if we were even in the right entrance. After eventually being seated and after about 15 minutes of having our meal, my friend spotted at least 2 MICE running back and forth past the entrance to the main seating area. My friend let the waitress and hostess know, but the waitress looked at us, sighed, and said “ I apologize for the inconvenience,” while the hostess just seemed to walk away. We already felt unwelcome upon our first interaction so we tried to be polite and even said it’s not your fault. After this, I then saw a mouse jump by a woman’s foot by the table next to us and they obviously began getting nervous as well. The four of us including the two other guests at the neighboring table, tried to tell the hostess, but the hostess really didn’t have a response. The whole dining experience felt really uncomfortable, unfortunately, almost like I was intruding in someone’s house the way that the hostess would look at us when walking by our table…on top of this, we asked for two boxes, the waitress looked very confused and upset- I didn’t want to inconvenience her when I realized this was possibly an odd request by her reaction, but this is how our food was wrapped. Still gave a generous tip because I know how difficult serving can be, but was very disheartened by this entire experience. I’m honest so I will say the food was great and the bus staff was excellent (the waitress and hostess were very upsetting) Will never be giving this resturant my money again and will be notifying the health department.

⚠️BEWARE OF MICE AND RUDE HOSTESSES⚠️
My friend and I came back from a hike in cold spring. The older lady with short blonde hair, black shirt overlayed with a white crochet top wearing black glasses (hostess or manager possibly?) was pretty unwelcoming when we walked in - however I understand people have bad days, so no big deal.
My friend and I were very polite even complimented our server on her dyed hair, however our server with blue and pink hair, tie dye glasses was anything but nice to us. From the start, it was off-putting, when I tried to order an appetizer before deciding on my main course, she told me I “it’s easier to order it all together,” which came across as dismissive. Later, when I asked politely for two separate takeout boxes, she just stared at me in silence, as if I had made an unreasonable request.
But the worst part of the night was the mice running inside the restaurant. The first time I pointed it out to our server, she completely ignored me, even though I said it clearly. The table next to us even encouraged me to repeat it because they were concerned; the mice were running back and forth between two rooms, and one even jumped on a woman’s foot without her noticing. When I told our server again, visibly upset, she just looked unfazed and said, “sorry for the inconvenience.” She only gave us any attention once the table next to us made a commotion about the same issue. At that point, the head hostess/manager came in, but instead of taking it seriously, both she and the server were talking behind my friend’s back and looked visibly annoyed at us. The head hostess never even acknowledged us.
At the end of the night, I tried to address it lightheartedly, and asked “So when are you guys going to put up mouse traps?” and the server replied, “It’s a long story.” Absolutely unbelievable.
Between the rudeness and the blatant sanitation problem, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve had. I have to admit the food was great - the bread, fungi pizza, and oysters were actually amazing. Despite all this we still even tipped 20%. Overall, the situation was so concerning that I feel it should be reported to the health department. I hope they use this situation as a learning tool and treat customers with more respect and take care of the mice problem.
