We've gone to the Riverside a couple of times since it re-opened, and we have also ordered take out appies from them. We've felt awkward every time we have gone there. There is a bit of a "locals only" atmosphere, and unless the staff knows you, it seems like you don't get the best service. This past summer, we went there on a warm summer evening to give them another chance with dinner on the patio. After taking our drink order, we told the server we needed another few minutes deciding on our meals. Well, we didn't end up seeing our server for another 45 minutes, and by then we had decided to finish our drinks and head to a different establishment instead.
The food is nothing too exciting, decent pub food. Service needs to improve for sure though.
