"Absolutely wonderful prime rib on Friday nights. Comes with fresh bread, soup and salad bar. Our waitress was fantastic, she made sure we were doing good with our dinner and enjoyed it. Prime rib is served after 5:00pm"

"Went there for the first time and won't be back. Ordered a dirty martini and the bartender ran out of olive juice. Poured my glass short because of it instead of opening another jar. Next, I ordered the fisherman's platter. This dish should not be on their menu. This was a market price dish that had two tiny pieces of crab about an inch long a peice, some random bits of lobster, a white fish filet and some of tiniest bay scallops I have ever seen in my life. It was embarrassing. I do not recommend going to the Riverview for anything but average fair and average drinks. There are much better options within a short drive away."

- Matthew H.

"Loved this restaurant. I had a delmonico steak cooked medium rare perfectly and 2 jumbo stuffed shrimp. The stuffing was delicious. Mashed potatoes and gravy were good. They have a salad bar. Don't seeming of those anymore. Lot of variety at the salad bar and on the menue. My husband liked his grilled salmon. They also have a full drinks bar full of happy people."
