This place has supported local, gourmet, cozy, diverse, family, youth, YUM, elasticity, ART, and fun....MUSIC....since they began.
The Cafe, and the Wine Bar...both rock your socks off. The wine bar has a brainmeltingly great menu and beer and wine selection, and exquisitely cozy design...and the café is so chill and neighborhoody it brings to mind the whole original concept of a Pub...aka Public House.

Love the live music and Songwriter Showcase. Nice to get food/drinks from the Wine Bar! Good pizza & salads. Really nice atmosphere too.
Have been coming here for years. Great wine, great servers and great food. Parking can be tough with the theater across the street, but this place is worth it. Love coming here before a movie.the desserts are worth a stop even if you don’t like wine. They also offer beer.
Riverview is fantastic. We come all the time for the superb wine selection and great food. Our favorite is the Cesar salad with salmon! The patio is dog friendly in the summer too.
I love this place. It’s got a casual, hip atmosphere, and there are plenty of couches to choose from. It’s also big enough where you can go with a medium size group and not feel like you’re taking up the whole place. The Nutella hot chocolate is amazing. Please go experience this for yourself!
Clean, Uber cozy, children's play area, cozy nooks. Special call out for friendly service. Food not bad too and coffee drinks excellent.
Two words: wine flites. If that’s not enough to get you in the door at the Riverview Cafe then go for the tasty food and ambiance. Great place to hang out with friends. And good news, there’s a parking lot in back (albeit a bit small). Friendly staff as well.
This is my neighborhood and this gem of a place is a staple. I could write a review each time I go but how many times can I say this place is great. If I were up on it, it could be weekly or more. Just had the mussels, killer grill cheese and tomato soup. That soup really wow’d me. Nothing like it.
Love this place, been gone for 2 years and it has only improved since then. Ten times out of ten, I will always recommend hanging out here. It's chill and relaxing. Perfect for whatever, they even got a little toy/play area for kids. Keep it up guys!
What I like best about this place is the seating. They have a variety of options to meet different needs. Quiet couches in the back corner are great for small meetings, a relaxed center seating arrangement offers a great place for study groups or those meeting with kids in tow, a couple lazy chairs by the window, and a number of two and four tops round it out. There is a separate play area for tots and they have electrical plug-ins everywhere. The food is a bit spendy but tasty. I paid $12 and change for a sandwich, large coldpress coffee and dollar tip. Another bonus is it's location. Just kiddy corner from the Riverview Theatre, means I can get some work done while my teens catch a weekday $2 matine. Bonus!
A great local coffee shop with lots of comfy seating.
I have not been to many Wine Bars like Riverview. It feels so familial and comfortable. The fireplace is so nice and they have live music during the week. I love that it is tucked away into the Longfellow neighborhood. The wine selection is good, the service is friendly, and I really appreciate flights of wine for beginners.
Great for a date or a slow night with friends or family.
