    Such a great hidden gem! I think that was the best tenderloin I’ve ever had in my life. The food was perfectly elevated and well portioned. The chocolate cake at the end was excellent. Service was great!

    We were there to celebrate a birthday and as usual we found everything to be top notch. The service from Susan was excellent, she was friendly and professional. The food was outstanding, the squash and carrot soup was smooth and tasty and the dish including the new “Effing feature” (That evening it was cod fish) was delicious. The cod was perfectly cooked and was accompanied by asparagus ,fingerling potatoes and a creamy sauce and everything was artistically presented on the plate. This was about our 10 th visit to the Bistrot and we have never been disappointed. We highly recommend it.

    Food was ok but not outstanding for the price level. Service was good. We planned on sitting on the patio but it was noisy and the tables and chairs were pretty low quality ( chairs were plastic) I don’t think we will be back.

    I love this place! It is cosy and intimate. The food is outstanding. The service is second to none. Our server, Amanda, as usual, was lovely. Connor (who makes the best smoked old-fashioned I’ve ever had) is also lovely. The food at this restaurant is an experience. I have never had a bad meal here, but the steak and fries I had this time was sublime!

    Another lovely meal at the Riverbank Bistro. Our server Connor was pleasant and attentive. And he makes an awesome old-fashioned! Steak and fries were awesome, and my dinner companion (daughter) who is normally a picky eater, cleaned her plate.
