Riverview

Needed just a nice relaxing evening out with my wife along with the chance to explore a restaurant that has survived Covid. Top notch!! Everything we had was well presented and very tasty. We were a bit surprised that there were so few in the place. Evidently Tuesday evenings are a good time if you are trying to avoid many people. We will definitely return and bring friends.

The greater Gresham area is not known for fine dining. We mostly have mid to low priced chains for our eateries. My daughter surprised me with a gift certificate for my wife and I for diner. To my surprise, this was a hidden jewel right under our nose. They have 2 menus. A set dining menu of 4 courses, which is what we chose, or a normal menu. The wait staff was very friendly. They allowed us to chose indoor or outdoor dining. We selected indoor next to a wonderful fireplace that my wife really enjoyed. We split our selections to different items from the set menu, which allowed us to try 8 different items. I choose the brisket, which was a good as I have eaten anywhere. and my wife chose the spinach ravioli. Food was tasty and hot. All courses were served on time. I cannot say I had one compliant. It was plenty of food, and the price was reasonable for a fine dining restaurant.

We have a lovely diner. The staff was amazing very attentive and friendly. The patio overlooks the river and made for nice ambiance. We shared a bottle of wine which was great. Some of the best calamari that I have had, very good. The brisket was melt in your mouth and my ribeye was perfectly cooked. We will be back for sure!

The ambiance was nice. The service was good enough. The food was pretty terrible. Everything I ate tasted like it had been frozen and reheated (Seared Ahi Tuna and shumai dumplings). Other food was bland (brisket) and lean. The view outside was nice. The cheesecake was dry. The redeeming food was the mascarpone cake. That was tasty. I wish I could have just had that for dinner.
