    We dined here to celebrate our 11th Wedding Anniversary and it took 3 hours. We had specifically book an early reservation so that we would have time to visit the Christmas light displays in the area and were not able to. We had appetizers within the first 20 minutes but then our main course took over an hour to arrive. The staff seemed very new and we tried to be patient, but it was disappointing. I will say that the food was delicious though.

    This is our favourite restaurant by far! We love to dine out and Dan and his crew never fail to impress. The food is scrumptious, beautifully plated and in perfect portions. The ambience is relaxed yet classy and service is always friendly and on point. We are regulars here and highly recommend Riverbank Bistro for any kind of gathering or intimate evening.
