Great little place. We almost did not go due to the bad reviews here, but I'm glad we decided to give it a try. I've never been to any other location so I can't compare, but had no complaints--thought it was very nice ambiance actually. Our server Kelly was very attentive and prompt. The food and cocktail quality was very good and the prices seemed appropriate. Appetizers and drinks came very quickly but the entrees did take a little longer. Still not an issue. Looking forward to returning for happy hour sometime.

I have mixed feeling about their new place. They moved from Valley City to this new location. The new place is clean, modern and open but feels a little sterile. I miss the character and ambiance of the old place. It was a Saturday night and the new place was packed, so I guess they are getting more traffic flow then Valley City, but I am not sure the staff can handle the extra business. We waited just over 45 minutes for our food and the drinks were slow to be replenished while we were waiting, but we made the best of our very long wait. We actually had a great time (husband's birthday with six of us celebrating). But, if I was just with my husband and waited 45 minutes for my food I would not have been happy. I saw two other tables that were obviously annoyed at the slow service. Our waitress was very friendly and tried to be helpful, but she seemed to be a little overwhelmed. Don't know if it was the kitchen, or the bar staff or her, but I felt like I just wanted to get up and help her. Maybe they were just short staffed that night. One of the reasons we would try this restaurant again is because our waitress was so nice. Personality really does count when working with customers. Wait staff can make or break a restaurant and in this case it may have saved it. The food quality was mixed. Among the six of us, some people like what they got and others did not. The jambalaya special was very tasty and they served a large portion size, but others dishes were so-so to not-so-good. The prime rib special was an over cooked, over salted thin slice of meat and expensive for a strip mall type restaurant. We will go back and give them another chance. Maybe it is just growing pains and they will get better. I hope so!

Nice place, stoped in this weekend. We had a bunch of the appetizers. Fried pickles, bruschetta, sauerkraut balls & loaded potato chips. The chips were amazballs! By far our favorite, they come with bacon, cheddar cheese and a homemade ranch dipping sauce, definitely try these when you go there! The bruschetta was good, it comes separated and you build it yourself, which is slightly annoying, but not a big problem. The bread was so light and tasty. The fried pickles were equally good, but very salty. Sauerkraut balls were ok, very heavy and filling. Each item came with a homemade dipping sauce which were very good. We just had appetizers, this time but will be back for some entrees. The server was very helpful and funny as well. We got lucky that the appetizers were 1/2 price, normal prices are a little on the high side, but nothing too crazy.

The staff was very nice and the food was really very good, for the most part. The ranch dressing is perfect with the homemade chips! The sweet potato chips are THE best I've ever had! The only reason my review is 4 rather than 5 is my burger. I got the Dublin. Corn beef on top with Swiss. I actually had to ask if it was just simple deli ham. It sure tasted like ham too. It actually took away from the burger. I'm sure if they used a higher grade of corned beef it would have been very good but what I had was more ham like. I would have personally preferred a toasted bun. I could see they put my bun on the grill from the grill marks but it was a cold, not at all toasted bun that seemed to lack that special touch a good burger has!

This was a lunch stop. The place has a modest sized lunch. The regular menu has offerings where sandwich comes with chips. These are thin slices deep fried, not necessarily the best thing. Go for the extra price for fries, they are shoestring and fresh made. I tried montaditos. Theses are baguettes filled with a small amount of different meats. They are good but not enough meat and when dressed with mayo or sauce you lose taste of meat. Burger is a safe bet. Fresh meat and decent size. The food comes out a little slow but is good. Maybe dinner offers more but it's trashy about two and a half stars. Had really good server

Every time I have eaten at Riverstone, the food has been excellent. Love the Tuscan pasta and the ribs melt in your mouth. Lunch has always been great and promptly delivered. I have never had any problems with time constraints. Yes, the new restaurant is much more modernized than the old location, but the old location had some bad seating arrangements, especially the booths in the front where customers were standing waiting for a table right beside the booths where people were eating. The stone wall and the fireplace in the new location is beautiful! This is one of my favorite restaurants!!

Wonderful evening! My husband tried the BBQ ribs for the first time, even tho we were a little leery, because we have our favorite place for BBQ. We're a little picky! :-)He ordered the full slab, expecting to take home leftovers...well..Let me just say, there wasn't much left to take home.lol. They were outstanding! Service was excellent and you can't beat the Wednesday wine special. Can't wait to come back and try something else new.

I reviewed this place before when it was at its old location. I am disappoint with this place now. I went for lunch and the menu selection was very limited. The hamburger was the only thing interesting and that was $10.00 with a small amount of slaw. it was not that great. Not worth it.

I was a regular, when riverstone was located in valley city. I visited there new location for an early dinner. The service was slow and the wait for our meal was long. The food was not as good as it was in valley city but not bad. The ambiance although was nice the noise level was loud. I was disappointed.

Enjoyed our experience. We ordered the pierogies as an appetizer, the tavern pasta and prime rib sandwich for our entrees. Both meals were very good and prices were average. I will be back!

New location, bad chain like interior, really loud. Same average food and poor service attitude. Sad they lost all the character of the old place with only a new interior in exchange.
