“ Beautiful location with a view of the water. Food is always excellent. Last visit was with a few (7) of my sister-friends. We are a lively bunch when we do get the time to be together and the staff are all very friendly and provide great service. As soon as we walked in our server was waiting at the desk and immediately led us to our area and guided the rest of the party as they trickled in. ”

“ Chris is incredible to work with for our event! He helped make wedding plan less stressful. He was very understanding and quick to respond with any questions that my husband and I had making for a stress-free Wedding Day. Although the food wasn't what we usually enjoy when we go for date night, it fed the lot! Atmosphere was great and the space is perfect for dining and dancing for around 70 people. Lots of parking and great view for photos. Would recommend them for banquets/weddings! Thanks again, Chris. You're a rockstar! ”
“ I had my wedding at Riverview on 3/22/25 and I have to say that they did a phenomenal job. I worked with the owner Dave and Chris the manager. We wanted to have it in the banquet room but we waited too long to book it and someone else got it, so we had the wedding in the main dining room. We were concerned because we didn't know how the room would look and since there is no bar in the dining room people might have to wait for their drinks. Well Dave had the tables set up just right and the room looked beautiful. No one waited for anything. I cannot overstate how attentive and professional the staff was. It was warm enough for us to have the ceremony outside and it was picture perfect. After the ceremony me and my wife were having pictures taken outside and Dave suggested the photographer take one under the gazebo because of the way was hitting it and it turned out to be the perfect call. He was on top of everything. We have been talked to many of our guests since the wedding and they have talked about how it was one of the best weddings they have ever been too. I can tell by how enthusiastic they are that they are not just trying to tell me what I want to hear. They loved the food, the room, the atmosphere, everything about it. If you are considering Riverview for a wedding or any big event I would highly recommend them. They made our wedding something my wife and I will remember for a long time. ”
“ We had my daughters after communion lunch here with our family last weekend and it was amazing! The banquet manager was incredibly helpful/easy to work with and let me do a limited menu for our small group. They had little menus pre printed which made it easy for everyone to see the options. Our waitresses were all SO kind and attentive (we had a lot of crazy kids running around and they did not seem bothered by this) and the outdoor space was incredible. Everyone in our group said how great the afternoon was and it was all thanks to Riverview Bistro! We will definitely be back :) ”
