Restaurants near Riverview Park

The restaurant is in a very unassuming building. Don’t be surprised if you drive by it several times without seeing it. I drove by it 3 times before I realized it was there. The walkway into the place (porch) had a strange smell, and a scented candle or something was working to try to mask it. Once inside, thankfully, there wasn’t a problem with any smell. The decor/ambience reminded me of the places you find up in and around lake country. It felt very old school. Kind of cozy. We were in the back room which I think was the best spot to be. The service was prompt and efficient but the server spoke in a very unusual cadence (??), which was a bit awkward. And how she handled the processing of the bill at the end was a bit off-putting. Our table ordered the rissoto & the Scampi all Calabrese. Both dishes were excellent. Dinner salads were also good. Right on point. The bread at table seemed a bit dry, but we gobbled it up nonetheless. We had one strawberry swirl cheesecake to split for dessert. It, too, was delicious. We each had one mini split of prosecco to drink. Our bill + tip (20%) came to $170. If I lived in the area, I would stop in for another try, but I’m not sure I’ll make the drive again. (30 minutes). 🤷‍♀️

What a “cute” place! Ambience is sweet, staff was genuinely friendly & helpful, food was excellent (breadsticks are phenomenal).

I always want to love coming here because it’s local and a nice setting. It was a golf tournament day so it got very noisy for a while. The food had mixed reviews. Three of us ordered the same thing and the chicken was very dry on two of ours. The server was very attentive.

I’ve been to crab leg dinners a number of times. Your crab legs are definitely the best. They were easy to get out of the shell and we had plenty to eat. The butter was very good also. I brought my grandson for his 18th birthday and he was very happy. The Parmesan hashbrowns were awesome. The service was wonderful. I believe the manager was helping and he was very nice. We will definitely come again.

They closed the Red Lobster in my suburb so had to drive a bit to get to this one for a Ladies lunch. So impressed with the cleanliness, service and food! We had an awesome waiter, Nate, who was very attentive and helpful. Highly recommend this Red Lobster! It reminded me of the initial years they were open and excelled, unfortunately the one in my town went downhill in a big way but this one is so refreshing!
