We've been going to Bridport for years, but tried the Riverside for the first time at the weekend. What a find and what have we been missing! From the outside, the Riverside doesn't look that special, but it's very well kitted out inside with an amazing view across the water. The food was all delicious, obviously the fish was fresh...

The fish and seafood were every bit as good as we'd been told by the nearby B&B owners who recommended it to us. From the outside you might think it was something else, maybe an upmarket fish and chip / seaside italian restaurant. The welcome from staff was warm and the service efficient and attentive. There is an enormous wine... More

I have not been there for two years and went for Sunday Lunch, we had four starters rather than a main course, the scallops are great the puddings, well my summer pudding was outstanding and my Italian companion thought the the panna cotta was perfect. The point is that as always, we get what we pay for, the Riverside is... More

Looked for a fish restaurant in the area and this came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. Friendly service, excellent shell fish dinner for 2 washed down with a couple of glasses of Pouilly Fume. Really loved the home made mayonnaise and the muckle great big crab in the dish was delicious along with his companions of mussels, prawns,... More

This is probably the finest restaurant we have ever eaten in, either in this country or abroad. On a terrible Saturday (weather-wise) out of season in April, we had lunch with our daughter who fortunately had booked in advance. Very wise, because otherwise we would not have even have got in the place, let alone got a table. We have... More

We visited for lunch on Easter Monday, a busy day. From the warm welcome and delicious aroma on entering the Riverside I knew we were in for something special. I wasn't disappointed. Attentive service, table set to high standard with a lovely aspect across the harbour to enjoy while dining. The menu is 'fishcentic' and includes a wide variety of... More

Table for 7 with three small children, on a bitterly cold April day. Great way to spend a couple of hours with good food, and excellent service. Fish was great, and children's meals were excellent. Good desserts.

You have to like fish and seafood to eat here, but if you do..... it's heaven. To be able to eat such a variety of fresh locally caught fish and seafood in early March is a real treat. And it's all beautifully cooked and presented. The staff are very helpful and informative, and the atmosphere buzzes.

At the prices charged I had expected a lot more from this restaurant. It is in a great location and has a very good, if a little confusing menu. There is also a fixed price menu of the day.we went for lunch, it was not busy so had a great table. The main course fish was first class but it... More
