After reading all the reviews Of this restaurant we nearly didn't go and i had prepared ourselves and our friends for the worst. We were pleasantly surprised. We went on a sat evening the restaurant was full. The service was great- friendly and efficient, we didn't wait very long for anything. We found the drinks to be reasonable and the... More

Ordered takeaway to whiteley. Mainly because the whiteley Chinese is bloody rubbish with warmed up microwave food. Can't pay by card.... If the whiteley Chinese existed in a city it would go bust in a day.... Rubbish... Anyway, so ordered from riverside. Rude... Arrogant service, overpriced.. Living on an outdated reputation!

As a regular visitor to Riverside over many years and having never had a bad experience with the food of the staff suggests to me that many of the negative reviews below are fake. The food is excellent - always fresh, always hot - and the service is always fast and very friendly. I would not hesitate in recommending this... More

Used to love this restaurant, however our last three meals have been notable for appallingly tardy and rude service. Food always very good if you are prepared to wait over 30 minutes to get through on phone. Having ordered the meal and agreed a collection time, in each case had to wait over an hour AFTER the agreed time for... More

Visited this restaurant with friends, hugely disappointed! The food we hardly touched it was so bad, drinks very expensive and customer service by staff totally non existent. All in all a dreadful dining experience which we wont repeat in this restaurant again!!

The staff are friendly enought. The owners are on site and assit with the serving, on busy disco nights and... More

They stayed late and was attentive and pleasant all evening. It is always a good time in the restaurant and have been many times and will continue to go there. The 'dated' look that some mention is part of its charm. Lovely place to go.

This must be the worst service I have ever experienced - who do they think they are? I found the waiters and manager unbelievably arrogant and totally lacked any sense of customer focus. I can't understand why anyone would want to go there, I certainly won't in future. Be warned that extra bottles of wine will be charged for -... More
