Riley’s By The River

Had the grilled romaine lettuce ceaser salad. Excellent. Service was excellent. I will go back.

My group of 4 women ate here for dinner and breakfast, not our choice, but part of a prepaid tour group. At dinner our 3 choices were already picked out for us, and NOT what we would have chosen, but that is not Riley’s fault.
Service was decent considering there were 22 of us. My salmon dinner was OK, although I don’t like to eat farmed Atlantic salmon, but it was the best choice of the 3 options for me. My 3 friends got the chicken parmesan (?) and had to pick off all of the fried breading & cheese since they are eating to for their better health. They didn’t eat the spagetti.
Breakfast again was the unhealthy choices of the buffet. It would have been nice if there had been oatmeal. As it was, we ate the pineapple & melon & grapes only. We are vegan /​whole food planted based lifestylers who want to stay healthy. The strawberries on display were half rotted, really — huge brown spots & looked gross!
Because of these experiences, we chose not to eat here again for the other 2 prepaid meals.

Nothing too bad, but nothing to write home about either.
Came here in a group of 4 for a Sunday lunch in September. They weren’t too busy.
I got a hummus appetizer because the lunch menu is pretty small and lacks quality vegetarian choices. The hummus was pretty good, came with cold pita points. But not quite worth $ 8.
My friends all got acceptable lunch items. Though some of them were on the cold side.
The food seems to be on par with what you’d get a a chain. Nothing offensive, nothing too interesting.

After the uncle Sam boat ride and your of boost castle we were starving. We walked along the shops and restaurants and came upon Riley by the river. It’s a bit slow on wait service but it was quite busy. We started with the stuffed mushrooms and this andolline soup. Both were excellent. My husband had the Cuban panini and I had the chicken quesadilla. Everything tasted freshly made. Glad we stopped by. We ended it with their cream puff. To die for. May try them for breakfast

We were promptly seated and waited on. This place actually provides great service. However, we were immediately disappointed by the appetizer. We ordered one of the specials for the day, scallops on the shell. I mean, really?! the dish was no cheap, so we expected decent size succulent scallops. Instead we were served 4 miniature overcooked scallops. Good thing the beer bacon cheddar chowder we ordered was as good as it sounded or this would have been a very sad lunch experience. The fried clams sandwich was good, not amazing but ok.
