Riverside Tavern

Oh my what a refreshing change to the local menu options. Reasonably priced, atmosphere was relaxed and elegant at the same time. The food delighted my palate. Just the right amount spice and herbs to bring out the flavor of the lamb.

The food was tasty, everyone enjoyed their entrees. The portions were huge, almost everyone in our party was able to get a second meal out of their order. The only downsides to this place is that it can be slightly pricey (but again, it's more like you're getting two meals) and it can get pretty loud inside.

We hadn't been here in some time, expensive eating is something we do on special occasions. We we're both pleasantly surprised they had redecorated and updated the place. It's very nice inside now, wooden floors, nice square bar with a fireplace in the center of the north side of the dining area. The south(right side)appeared to be dining. We didn't have reservations but were asked if we had them. Never needed them before, and was surprised they asked. (They were not booked up, immediate seats available). We we're seated in a high-top in the bar room. They now have TV's hanging over the bar too. Soon as I sat down, I noticed my silverware looked like it had missed the wash cycle. When our server came, I asked for a clean set, she asked for our drink orders and took away the silverware,

Excited to have this new, old spot in town! We’ve been coming here for 20 years and I love what the new folks have done with the renovations. I’ve only stopped in twice and both times have been just okay. The first time, I ordered the salmon with mashed potatoes. One bite of the mashed potatoes and I made the rest of my party double check that I’m not crazy—something about the flavor was off. They agreed. I suspect they use boil in a bag potatoes from Sysco/US Foods or a synthetic butter substitute. Either way, I did mention to the server why the mashed potatoes were the only thing uneaten on the plate. It’s hard to pay $30+ for a piece of salmon and 12 green beans. The second time, I had the walleye sandwich and it was just okay. The thick panko breading didn’t do anything for the fish

We stopped by to see a friend, and have lunch. The best gyro I've ever had! We've been to Lakes Tavern as well. Consistently excellent service and food! Thank you!
