We celebrated a beautiful baby shower for my son and daughter-in-law at Michael's Riverside a few days ago, and I can't say enough good things about it. Michael, the owner, was so attentive and went out of his way to make sure everything ran smoothly. The staff was equally wonderful--friendly, helpful, and always one step ahead. The food was outstanding; our guests raved about it. The setting is gorgeous, and there's plenty of parking, which was a huge plus. It felt warm and welcoming from start to finish. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a special venue for their next event. Thank you, Michael and team, for such a memorable day!"

I would like to begin by stating Michael's Riverside is Always My First choice! I had the Pleasure of attending a function at this Lovely establishment over 10 years ago. They quickly became my go to place for any function. I have given Baby showers, Birthday parties, Bridal showers, Engagement parties you name it, All at this Beautiful place and I have yet to be disappointed. The food is Always Superb. You could not ask for better service because the staff is by far the friendliest most helpful group of professionals, only surpassed by the Owner. OMG, The Owner! So Handsome, accommodating, Professional and Trustworthy. He should teach other establishments how to give such Excellent Customer Service. I can be very particular, however I am NEVER disappointed having Complete Trust everthing will Exceed my Expectations and it Always does! Michael's Riverside is a Classy place and a real value for the cost. I live out of state and they are still my First choice. I Highly recommend Michael'

Michael was so kind and compassionate. I could barely keep it together planning my Mother's repast. He guided me through the process calmly, he didn't rush me and accommodated my family at the last minute. Grateful for him, his staff and the phenomenal food. Thank you
