I had to write this Review because sometimes people decide to comment whatever they choose when it comes to a Business and state things that just make you shake your head. A Review was posted regarding an experience they had at the Restaurant last evening. The Review was slightly blown out of proportion regarding something that happened while they were there. Which is anyone’s right to post their opinions however, when you end your Review with this “Man doesn’t know how to run a Restaurant” you sort of make yourself sound “clueless”. This “Man” that she refers to, opened a Business 5 months ago. As someone with quite a few family and friends Bar & Restaurant Owners as well as others in general that have taken 5 months to smooth out the quirks and some even longer and some never do!! In the 5 months that this “Man” has ran this Restaurant:•••I just read through 125 Comments on the FB Site. Not 1 Negative.•••3,200 Followers on Social Media•••4.2 Rating on Google 25/5*. 13/4*•••Many nights you need a Reservation.We personally spent every Sunday Brunch at Riverstone during Football Season. 10-12 people every week ordering different food and drinks for months! Not 1 issue with food, drink or service. So this just sort of explains my issue with some random Customer stating this “Man” doesn’t know how to run a Restaurant. Food, Drink, Service complaints are the norm and of course everyone has their opinions and every Business is certainly going to have off nights. However, when you make a statement in reference directly to someone’s integrity, reputation, character & abilities and the statement is clearly false with an extreme amount of proof of that, you truly do make yourself sound “clueless” I would say he’s doing a pretty damn good job for a Man that doesn’t know how to run a Restaurant! The Man’s name is Michael, he researched the location, designed the Restaurant, created the Menu and in turn now has a very successful Independently Owned Restaurant (not the usual Chain). So with everything I’ve said, I hope that people actually know the facts before attacking someone with a statement that clearly does make you sound clueless.

Amazing brunch service. My boyfriend and I ordered the biscuits and sausage country gravy, i opted for poached eggs. Placed my poached eggs on top of the home fries, sliced them open, and let the yolks blanket the potatoes. Cannot tell y’all how much I’ve been telling everyone how amazing the food and service was. Didn’t get the servers name, but she was nothing short of perfect. And the bloody Mary’s? Don’t even get me started lol. Will absolutely be coming back to try dinner service. 5 ⭐️?⭐️

Four of us had dinner there last night. Food was pretty good, but this is the second time that orders seemed to get screwed up, but this time “takes the cake”, literally. We ordered 2 desserts to go and our waitress delivered them in a nice bag to carry home. Shortly after, the owner who was running tables brought 2 to go containers of our desserts to our table. We told him we already had our desserts. He walked away and then came back and said “here ya go, enjoy” and left the dessert in our table. About 15 minutes later he came back and said “can I take this” and he took the dessert back and delivered it to the table next to us. We were all flabbergasted! First to offer a free dessert because they couldn’t keep things straight, and then to take it back and give to another table. Terrible customer service, and I’m sure the health department wouldn’t have approved. What if I had stuck my finger in the dessert to taste, or taken a bite. Not sure we’ll be returning after this last experience. This guy doesn’t have a clue how to run a restaurant!

Newly opened. Has great potential. Was really uncrowded at lunchtime. Nice open style resturant with charm. Will go back again. Had the Danish rib special - they were crispy. Could go for some O-rings.

The service and atmosphere was nice . The food is just ok and over priced. We got the pot stickers and clams casino and they are definitely not worth price as it is 5 regular potstickers you buy frozen like you buy from store and 5 small clams with hardly any toppings served on a ton of salt . I also got stuffed salmon and it was overcooked and dry served on ice cold cucumber ? Is not appetizing at all. For $30 I thought stuffed was going to be seafood , that’s my mistake but it comes with cheese and dill on it which is a very small portion and also not worth it so essentially $30 for a dry piece of fish and cucumber. This place has potential but they really need better food or lower prices for what they’re serving here.
