    Good service, we needed to be quick and they made it happen. Chicken tenders are very good.

    We got there 1/2 before closing the kitchen... Everyone was friendly, meals were good, no one rushed us out.

First of all, this is 2025 and LOTS of people have food allergies so get with the times....or maybe you don't understand. When I asked for a milk alternative, I was offered 2% milk.....seriously????? I ordered oatmeal and home fries. The oatmeal.... I wasn't quite sure what she wanted me to do with it - use it as spackle or hang wallpaper with it. Completely inedible....it must have been sitting in the pan since Friday and it was just like cement. And the home fries.....loaded with grease and totally disgusting. They were sitting in a puddle of grease. The experience in your establishment landed me in the bathroom for most of the afternoon. Oh, and don't let me forget the filthy bathroom! I felt like I needed a shower after using it. The health inspector needs to pay you a visit. I may make that call. Thank you for the experience and never again! Like I said...STAY AWAY!!!!!!

    I have stayed at RiversEdge Resort countless times. This is the first time we decided to have…read morebreakfast. It was Memorial Day weekend but slow due to inclement weather. We arrived shortly before 9am and had no wait for table. Although there were only half a dozen other tables of diners service was a slow crawl. It was a lovely view so I just drank in the ambiance of the Bay and watched the tour boats docking and departing. Ham and cheese omelettes light and fluffy with more than enough toast with a wide selection of jellies. Home fries on the side were a little bland but easily rectified with salt and pepper. The orange juice was served un chilled in a 6 oz glass for $4. It was more than enough food for two with leftovers to go. $41 though with no coffee or refills on the OJ. Nice experience but will probably do breakfast at diners in town next visit.

    Windows on the Bay is in the Riveredge Resort. We ate out back on the deck. The view was nice…read more There was no music playing at all, which was odd, but you could hear noise from a band at another restaurant nearby. Food & drink was good. They bring you a little loaf of bread and butter, as well as a red sauce. The bread was hot and delicious! My husband had New England clam chowder and enjoyed it. For the main meal, I had a burger, which is my favorite food to eat everywhere. It was cooked perfectly. I had considered the chicken parm that came with fettuccini Alfredo. I asked if it came with a side salad. No it did not, but I could order a side salad if I wanted to. So for $10 less, I got my trusty go-to order, the burger, which had fries as a side and felt like a more complete meal. My husband got the steak which had lots of fat. They don't have a dessert menu but our waitress told us the options. We got the strawberry cheesecake for dessert. It had white chocolate drizzle which we did not enjoy and would have asked to be left off, if we had known. Our waitress was very attentive. Some spaces were dated (the bathroom) , others had been updated. My husband gave it a 6/10 but the view will make it a 7/10.

The fries were good but they forgot to bring them out. They got busy and we didn't get much help to cash out. Overall, it was a decent place to eat/ it was a nice atmosphere and seemed clean. The servers were generally pleasant

    I didn't trust the ratings of this restaurant because tripcadvisor had really good reviews. Trip…read moreadvisor is lies. Upon entering there was a small wait which isn't a big deal. The hostess was amazing. Very friendly and welcoming.. I thought man a good start.. then it went drastically down hill. It took us over an hour and half to get and finish our meal. Waiter came over and seemed out of place. Took our orders for drinks and appetizers then disappeared. Our drinks came out slowly considering it was two waters and a lemonade. We ordered the garlic cheese curds. No plates to eat them on, no extra napkins.. They were good, nothing like omg I have to get again. We asked now for a Pepsi and Arnold Palmer with our dinner order.. drinks even slower than the last time came out.. no water refills to be seen. Then our food at this point should be done.. oh no waiter comes out..they are out of chicken fingers. Our child has to order something else.. choices were grilled cheese or pasta. We came here specifically because of the kids menu and tenders. That should have been told to us before even getting into the dining area. So I ask can you make a small kid burger? Nope! They are all premade burgers. They offer no alternative to a kids meal that has protein on it unless you want grilled cheese. What the actual hell. My kid has an issue with milk. They won't discount the adult meal that our kid won't fully finish. So a reasonable night went out the door. Was the waiter willing to ask a boss.. again nope.. no boss to be seen. Husband ordered the fish and was told to pick any side. He ordered poutine. I ordered the grilled chicken with poutine. My son was forced to get the fried chicken and we had to cut it up for him. No water refill or refill asked once our food hit the table. Didn't see our waiter again til he wanted to settle the bill. My chicken was ok. The chicken really should have been pounded thinner.. one side was very thick and the other was barely there. I wasn't impressed with the poutine, beyond swimming in gravy, too much. My sons chicken was huge so he only ended up eating 1/3 of it given he's a kid. Such a waste of money. My husbands fish was ok, it came out with chips on his plate and then the waiter brought poutine. he said the texture of the breading wasn't good. At home we have some of the best fish fry's and this one wasn't one of them. Here's the kicker.. get the bill.. it has full shot for all meals.. no man we messed up with your kids meal.. and they charged my husband extra for poutine. 4.50 for something that came with his meal. My meal was normal price. At this point we had been there for an hour and half with a child I wanted out so we just paid and left. If your looking to flush money down the toilet and spend an hour and half to two hours of your life on a meal.. this is the place.

    The only redeeming feature of this place is the view--and even that can't distract from how poorly…read moremaintained and unsettling the rest of the experience is. Finding the entrance was like a game of hide-and-seek gone wrong. There's no signage, zero lighting, and walking back at night from the main street feels more like the opening scene of a horror movie than a relaxing vacation. It's eerie, deserted, and downright creepy. The restaurant? Only serves dinner--no breakfast, no lunch. Good luck figuring out when it opens, though. When I asked the teenage staff at Pointe Grill, they stared at me blankly before going back to fishing and smoking off the dock directly in front of the entrance. It was like interrupting their hangout spot, not asking a simple question as a paying guest. The property itself is in serious decline. Dirty, dank, and reeking of cigarettes and mildew. The smell hits you immediately, as do the scattered cigarette butts littering the grounds. It's clear that upkeep is not a priority. To their credit, the front desk staff were friendly and welcoming--but that level of service unfortunately doesn't extend to the rest of the establishment. The rooms with a view of Boldt Castle might sound romantic, but step inside and it's like walking into a forgotten relic of the 1970s. The decor is outdated to the point of being uncomfortable: mirrored walls, an aging jacuzzi, and cheap, bubbling vinyl flooring that looks like it was installed by someone's cousin over a weekend. The door to our room didn't even seal properly--it looked like it had been kicked in at least once, maybe more. The balcony was filthy, crawling with bugs, covered in vines, and in desperate need of a power wash. The railing was rickety and rusted--definitely not somewhere you'd want to linger with a drink in hand. As for amenities, the hot water took a full ten minutes to arrive, which felt symbolic of the overall experience: slow, neglected, and not worth the wait. For the price per night, this place is a complete letdown. It feels more like a rundown roadside motel than the getaway it pretends to be. Skip it. There are far better options in the area that actually care about their guests--and their property.

    I did not like having to walk all over the place to eat. We even had to leave the hotel room to go…read moreto the swimming pool in the winter. It's no fun. I don't recommend this place hair all in my Jacuzzi tub., we came on the weekend that they were jumping into the water, the polar bear challenge so the man directed us to a side road to park because he said the parking area for the guest. We're all taken by just strangers nobody that belong to the hotel so me and my husband had to walk a half a mile with our bags in tow unprofessional

The dining room only had 4 other guests when we arrived. The waitor was fine and came to our table to refill our coffee a few times however we were not at all satified with the speed the food came out (it was 40 minutes from time of order to the food making it to our table) and to make matters worst one of the 2 orders were incorrect. Due to time constraints we were not able to wait for the kitchen to remake the order. The quality of the food we did receive was at best a 3 out of 10. If the owner reads this please check your systems and review your kitchen staff because the place is really nice and has a great view of the river.

For breakfast most days it's a pretty simple buffet, but watch out for the Sunday Brunch, it's incredible. Omelet Station, beef & turkey carving, pancakes, breakfast meats & amazing deserts. I'll post some pictures. One night I had a fantastic end cut prime rib that was delicious. Other nites, the New York steak. Veal Parmigana, The pork tenderloin. All delicious. Fresh salad choices & did I mention killer deserts !! I'll try to post some pictures. The view is amazing all day long, but the sunsets in summer over the Boldt Castle are wonderful. Come for a regular dinner or something romantic. It's kinda kitchy like out of the '70's but come for the view & the food, the bar has great bartenders & a solid selection, too!! Can't wait to come back.
