We were there on a recent bus trip. Food was so flavorful, and scene was gorgeous. Wish we could have stayed longer.

I went here twice, once for dinner and once for lunch. For dinner I got the beet salad and summer orecchiette. For lunch I got the veggie burger and three berry vegan cheesecake. The service was excellent and friendly, the atmosphere is beautiful with the restaurant right on the river.

If you enjoy long waits for a table at a restaurant that is half empty, overcooked and dry salmon cakes, and the slowest service received in a long time - this place is for you. It’s only saving grace is the view and decent cocktails that were served to us by an overworked bartender…eventually.

Tried 2 separate times. Food was horrible both times. Service wasn't great. Don't waste your time or money.

Best dinner we had in Hood River! We had a large group and everyone really enjoyed the food. Service was top notch! I got a mock tail that even was amazing!

Go for apps, drinks and a nice view. The main dishes are not good, very bland lacking salt and flavor. The cioppino was one of the worst I’ve ever had, so bad I didn’t take the leftovers

Our Inn host recommended that we go here for dinner, and it was generally ok. The peach burrata salad was the star of the night - such fresh tomatoes and peaches! The focaccia with olive oil and balsamic to dip in, was heavenly. My husband said his salmon cakes were good, as was the New York "steak" (really a thick slice of prime rib that wasn't very tender). My salmon piccata was dry, but the vegetable medley was fresh and tasty. Service was very slow at first, then got better through the evening.

Riverside Restaurant is a dining experience that truly stands out. I ordered the peach salad, and it was absolutely outstanding. The combination of fresh peaches, tomatoes, and cheese created a flavor that I will never forget—each bite was perfection.
The views from the restaurant are breathtaking, adding to the overall ambiance. My waiter was top-notch, providing excellent service and answering all my questions with ease. His knowledge of the menu and pairing recommendations made the meal even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Riverside Restaurant for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience!

Food and atmosphere are excellent, however, the service is lacking. We had to ask for water refills and when our starter was served, we had to ask for small plates and silverware. We had to flag down our server to place entree orders. Apparently they have a lot of new staff that could benefit from more training. The pastas and veggie burger were delicious, the peach burrata salad was amazing!
Came here as a group of 6 at 2 PM on a Sunday. Google maps says the restaurant does not require reservations because it’s not busy. Hostess said the wait for table outside is ~40 minutes( even though the restaurant is at like 10% occupied and there was an area outside. We chose to order drinks and appetizers at the bar and stayed there for about 2 hours. Nobody was seated at those tables on the outside patio. How hard can it be to hire people that can do a simple job? Tell customers that there’s 40 minute wait for a table and the place is almost empty. Food was good though. Maybe lacking some seasoning, but overall good

I was surprised to find out that the price was very reasonable for a fancy place in a great location just next to the river
