    Burger w/ extra patty & egg
    Alex B.

    The food is always good when we come to this restaurant. The customer service was very friendly and our waitress went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything that we needed. The ambience is always very clean and always one of my go to choices for a Friday evening dinner. All of the food in this establishment is always flavorful, and we are never let down.

    PLEASE HELP! We need to talk about Riverview. I've been here several times over the years. It's a fun place, great location, right at the end of the Main Street. There is absolutely no parking anymore. It's terrible. Someone needs to figure that out. The new homes consume all the spots that are nearby and the other establishments are left lacking parking, especially on a Friday night. The place was nearly empty downstairs and a party upstairs. How can they expect to keep these places in business-including other restaurants. I think there's a downward spiral that's affecting the food. Busy places make better food! I wanted to give Riverview a better score, but the dinners tasted meh. 1 waitress served the entire area dining area, which made her frazzled and hard to get a hold of because of how busy she was. She was awesome tho! Please help and figure this out! I want to come back, but several things need to change.

    I've been to this restaurant a few times. All the prior experiences up until tonight, were decent. Unfortunately, this time, the food was mediocre at best. On Tuesday, they have a weekly special that consists of 1 entree and 1 drink or dessert for $20. My husband got the mashed potatoes and braised beef shank, I had the honey walnut shrimp, and my son had chicken tenders and french fries (off the kids menu). My husband's dish was awful. The potatoes were cold and hard. The beef shank was fatty and you could tell this was premade and microwaved, clearly not well. The honey walnut shrimp did not look anything like the picture they advertised and it was edible, but not good. I was thankful it was at least hot, but not your typical honey walnut ingredients. Lastly, my son's meal was probably the best out of the 3. It was smoking hot and you could tell it was not microwaved. The service was a bit off. They filled all the water glasses except my son's glass. We had to ask for water for him as if he was invisible. My husband ordered dessert instead of a drink and the waitress gave us the check before even bringing out my husband's dessert. We never complained about the food, but I definitely thought that was odd and maybe a hint to hurry up. The restaurant is near the river in Burlington. In the spring and fall, sitting outside is nice. It's a short walk to the river with nice views. It does get loud when it's full inside, but if the service and food is good, then I'm willing to overlook that.

    Although I feel the food can be hit or miss at times the restaurant itself has a great vibe even if you stop in just for drinks. The bartenders, manager, and staff are always friendly & whether you sit inside or outside it's a great atmosphere. I tried there wine Wednesday's & I highly recommend it because they have some great selections at 20% off your glass. Also, they don't advertise it well but they have a great happy hour (even on Saturday). Some of my favorites from here include the Brussel sprouts, truffle fries, beet & burrata salad, & there charcuterie board is excellent. I only wish their food was a little bit more consistent & a little less pricey. It's unfortunate the new apartments that were built block the actual view of the river but I'd still recommend trying this place out at least for happy hour

    Great location on High Street unfortunately their previously unobstructed view of the Delaware River has mostly been blocked by condos built ~6 years ago. However they have a nice bar setup and outdoor seating area. We have only visited a handful of times to enjoy their very popular Tuesday night special. The meals were always very enjoyable. I suggest that you give them a try.

    My outstanding Martini

    Asked for recommendations on a Facebook page for a good place for birthday dinner. Come to find out the chef, Oscar, recommended this restaurant. What a great recommendation. My husband had the tomahawk pork chops which were moist and delicious. I had the ribeye steak that was so tender. I enjoyed every bite. We also had some oysters on the half shell. We had a fabulous server, Toni, and she was outstanding, but the best thing of all was the martini that Toni made for me. I'm very particular. And this is one of the best martinis I've ever had out at a restaurant. We can't wait to come back.

    So I read the reviews. So yes, it got noisy. Yes, the service was excellent but a little slow. The atmosphere and food was great. The entree items we wanted were not available that evening, so we tried some standard fare on their menu. NY strip steak, Mac & cheese, pork pizza... all great. Our sever Macy, A +! It would be nice when they present the menu they would say "we don't have the following tonight" so you are not on the spot scrambling to find another entree. Would we recommend? Yes. Would we come back? Yes.

    "Get My Perks" app deal !

    Beautiful, big & airy restaurant on the water, that I found via 'Get My Perks' app. $50 worth of food for $25! There was a loud, irritating party going on in the same room that we were seated in. My "no poker face" annoyance & ask to move elsewhere got me a complimentary coffee. The baby stopped LOUDLY crying, so we stayed put. My seafood risotto was very good ! - a perfect sized portion too. I could've done w out the calamari. Alex & Vince got the fried chicken sandwiches, which they both liked. Vince also got the Mac & cheese - Yummy & I liked hat they used orachetti pasta. One of my top pasta picks for Mac & cheese. (you can get it w lobster too for an added charge). Maybe next time! . Aidan got a bacon cheeseburger that he loved. Both kids were lukewarm on the fries. Lastly, our waitress was super nice, apologetic for the noise level, etc, plus accommodating & just a cutie. I'd love to come back esp with the perk!

The good: the music was just right, all about wedding, love, and marriage but at times a bit too loud to carry on a conversation. No worries, staff were happy to adjust as requested. Only the first floor is accessible, so folks in wheelchairs or who can't do stairs will have to stay on the first floor. Room for improvement: No contract was provided at the time of deposit. This would've been helpful because payment terms are non-standard (in my experience) with final payment due well in advance of the event.

The courtyard was beautiful and goes right into the Meeting House so I was able to have a bagpiper play in the courtyard as I walked down the aisle. The price for the wedding was incredible, we paid for an extra hour, the use of the full kitchen, (which is huge and industrial), we also paid to set up the night before and for them to clean up. With all the extra requests we had and all the extra time it was still incredibly affordable. I loved that I didn't have to choose a venue that made me use their baker and caterer. We chose our food and our favorite bakery. We were able to buy beer and wine cheaply and serve it via bartender. We saved heaps of money doing the wedding here and people loved the history that resonates from this place. You don't have to be a Quaker, Quaker's are incredibly accepting of everyone and this makes it great if you have a lot of guests that are different religions, or do not have religion. Everyone felt comfortable and welcome. Thanks again to the Burlington Meetinghouse, it meant a lot to us. Will post pictures of our set-up when our photographer gets them to us!

We had a Glow in the dark party which included a lot of set up. They gave us the opportunity to come in not only the day before, but the day of, earlier than the alloted time we had. We moved a good amount of furniture to fit our vision and they had no problem with it. The one woman (Sorry I forget your name) was so helpful to the point where when we couldn't figure out the sound system with our android ( yes I know) she came back to help. The place has an abundance of outlets which was great since we had a bunch of black lights. We had the 360° photo booth which we were allowed to rent for as long as we wanted. The woman who ran it was very kind and the kids loved it. We also had enough room for another photo booth. At the end of the night, the wonderful woman came back and helped us clean some and told us to just worry about the bigger things and to leave the smaller things for her and her team to clean. I've already recommended this place to another friend and I'd definitely give this company more business when I need to throw another party.
