Clean, spacious, clean restroom facilities, gorgeous everywhere you went. I attended my friend's daughter's wedding over the weekend at Riverside Receptions.

The reception/dinner moved to the upper floor and the room and food were excellent, as was the service. I have food allergies and they accommodated them beautifully. I had the chicken with I think some sort of broccoli on the inside and a cream sauce. The mashed redskin potatoes were insanely delicious. Truly a classy and memorable wedding for the couple, their families and the guests. This goes down as one of the nicest weddings I ever attended.

We had my daughter's bridal shower at the Oscar's Swan in early October 2026. It was beautiful,…read morethe food was ample and delicious, and the owner, Nina, was so accommodating of some last minute needs including feeding guests who arrived at the end of the shower. The Oscar Swan provides a unique experience and high value. Nina operates "old school" - pen and paper and no credit cards (she takes checks and cash). This keeps the value high. Her menu options are extensive and this allowed us to design a menu for our party. The location is incredibly beautiful and well maintained. And parking is ample making it easy for all of our guests. She provided silk floral arrangements to match our color scheme that everyone thought were real. Her linens, glassware and other table service are beautiful and add to the charm of the venue. All we had to do is show up!

I…read moreonly hesitate to write this review because I'm worried it will be booked solid after, and we won't get a room next time we visit! To say the Oscar Swan is a gem is an understatement. The owner, Nina, is beyond fabulous. She was so kind, attentive and made us feel at home. Upon arrival we had the place to ourselves and Nina told us to head upstairs and pick out our rooms! EVERY room is beautiful. The decor throughout is curated perfectly for the property. We stayed with another family, kids in tow. The kids had a blast running around the property and playing in the pool. The gardens are gorgeous. The front lawn is bigger than a football field - perfect for frisbee! We woke up in the morning to a table set outside and the BEST breakfast spread you could ask for. Pancakes, amazing eggs, toast, banana bread, potatoes, fruit, and perfectly cooked bacon. I can't emphasize enough how gorgeous the setting is, how at home we felt and just all around grateful and happy we were to be there. We had a quick peek at the event space - it's fabulous!!! If I lived in town again and one of my kids were old enough to get married, I wouldn't consider hosting anywhere else!! It's a true time warp in the best possible way. If you're looking for perfection this is not your place. If you're looking for a one of a kind, unforgettable experience - book now!!

We had our wedding at Fishermen's Inn on Friday, July 3rd, 2026. Overall, we had a beautiful…read morewedding and many wonderful experiences with the venue, but there were also several major disappointments that we feel are important for future couples to know about. From the very beginning of our planning process, Erin, our day-of coordinator, was wonderful. She was personable, honest, extremely helpful, and always willing to answer our questions. She made the planning process feel seamless and did a great job taking stress off of me as the bride. We truly appreciated having her throughout the planning process. It is important for future couples to know that we were responsible for setting up everything the morning of our wedding. We were not permitted to set up anything the day before, so our family and wedding party had to handle all of the setup on the morning of the wedding. This was a significant amount of work to take on before the wedding even began, but thankfully our family and friends were amazing and made it happen. Our wedding was in the middle of a Midwest summer, and the day before the wedding, we made the decision to move our ceremony indoors because of an extreme heat advisory. Erin and her team handled that change very well and made the transition as stress-free as possible for us. Our ceremony was beautiful, the dinner was delicious, and we were very happy with how the food accommodated our guests' various allergies. Unfortunately, the biggest issues occurred because of severe weather and the power outages that followed. We were not made aware that Fishermen's Inn had experienced a power outage the night before our wedding after lightning struck. As a result, the chandelier in the dining room and the lighting in the overflow seating area were not working at all. This left some of our guests eating dinner in very dim lighting. We understand that lightning and storms are completely outside of the venue's control, but we do feel that we should have been informed about the issue before the wedding so that we could have discussed possible solutions or made alternative arrangements for those tables. Later in the evening, after our first dances, the power went out again. This created much more significant issues. The bathrooms immediately became a major concern because there was no running water and the toilets could not flush, yet our guests were not immediately informed and continued using the facilities. This became a serious sanitation concern for our guests and was one of the most disappointing aspects of the evening. We had also paid for an upgraded beverage package, including two specialty mixed drinks. When the power went out, the fountain drinks and mixers needed for those specialty drinks were no longer available. Eventually, the bartenders were also unable to serve mixed drinks such as Jack and Coke. After a period of time, hard liquor was no longer being served unless it was served on the rocks. Given that we had paid for an upgraded beverage package, this was understandably frustrating. Another major concern was accessibility. Our cousin has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair that weighs over 200 pounds. When the power went out, the elevator stopped working. His wheelchair had to be taken downstairs using a steep, sketchy ramp. Thankfully, the wheelchair made it down without any hiccups, but the situation was extremely stressful and emotional for our cousin and our family. Several of our firefighter guests stepped in to help safely get him and his wheelchair downstairs. Having an accessible backup plan for an emergency like this would have made an enormous difference. Our late-night snack was also affected by the outage and was served cold. By that point, after everything that had happened, we ultimately did not want to eat it. We completely understand that Fishermen's Inn cannot control severe weather or a lightning strike. What was disappointing was the lack of preparation, communication, and backup solutions once the power was lost. A backup generator, a clear emergency plan for the bathrooms, communication with guests about the water and restroom situation, and a better accessibility plan would have made a significant difference. We were also disappointed that we never received any follow-up communication after the wedding. We did not receive an email acknowledging the power outage, checking in to see how we felt about the experience, or even a simple "thank you for choosing Fishermen's Inn." Considering the circumstances of our wedding night, some type of follow-up would have gone a long way. Despite these challenges, we are grateful for the beautiful parts of our wedding day and especially for Erin, who was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She was a bright spot in our experience and truly cared about making our wedding day special. We hope Fishermen's Inn takes this feedback seriously and considers putting stronger contingency plans in place!

Service was a tad slow, I'm thinking it was because it was midday and they were prepping for dinner but overall a good experience.

I informed our server that I have celiac disease, and she was helpful in confirming that the cocktails were gluten-free. I ordered the Pineapple Express sangria, and it was absolutely delicious. When it comes to the food, most items on the menu can actually be made gluten-free, but they aren't marked on the menu and they do not offer a separate gluten-free menu. Our server did let us know right away that they were out of three of their entree items. For my meal, I started with the gluten-free soup which comes with gluten-free noodles, and it was really good. However, I didn't really like any of the remaining entrees they had left available, so I decided to order sides instead. The server mentioned that most of the sides are or can be made gluten-free. I chose the creamy mashed potatoes and the brussel sprouts, specifically requesting the sprouts without croutons. When the food arrived, the brussel sprouts unfortunately had croutons on them. I pointed it out to the server, and she immediately said she would have them remade for me. While I am very glad I caught the mistake before eating them, it is something to watch out for. Overall, the experience was mediocre.
