Saganaki not as expected. It wasn’t fired in a skillet but like breaded and just warm. Without the fire/broil, the flavor just wasn’t great.

⸻ We had such a wonderful Easter brunch experience at the Riverbend! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxing meal. The service was outstanding as well; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a top-notch brunch experience. We’ll definitely be back!
