Nice atmosphere, the meals are a good size and they often have specials. Little but pricey for a pub but the meals are nice. Can't complain about the Parma!

The serving sizes of meals, including entrees, are very generous, and the prices and speed of service are as expected for a pub. The best choice of food are the traditional meals such as parmigiana and fish & chips. The poultry in some dishes tend to be either not fresh or overcooked. A duck dish I had did not taste like duck at all. Similarly the Asian dishes like Thai or Indian tend not to live up to their name, and don't have any international flavour at all - supermarket Asian meal kits make more authentic tasting dishes. On a recent visit I had Mushroom Risotto. As usual it was a generous serving. Initially it had a reasonably good taste, but then tended to become slightly monotonous and bland.

The food was beautifully presented and of a very high quality. The staff were friendly and helpful and the actual venue was very clean and well laid out.
The only complaint I'd have was that 'free kids meals' did not state that these did not come with the usual drink and desert. Other than that, everything was great.

This pub provides a nice dining atmosphere and has great weekly specials for kids, who can eat free Sunday through Thursday, which is the main driver for our family dining experience here.

Over the course of the year we've been here six times and each time the food was unexpectedly delicious. Where it disappointingly fails is the wait time to receive your meals. The kids meals have usually been prompt; served w/i approx. 10 to 15-minutes from order. It's the standard fare of chicken or fish strips w/ chips so no out of the ordinary that requires delay.

The adult meals, however, have consistently arrived 45+ minutes after ordering, long after the kids have finished and ready to leave. Our meal orders were the fresh snapper and chicken salad, again, no extravagance but did not know why it would garner a 50-minute wait.

I often refuse to go back by virtue of previous dining experience but am a glutton for punishment, as again, the kids eat free. Mind you... based on this latest experience I will not be revisiting the Riversdale Hotel as I've grown tired of the wait. "Fool me once, shame on you... fool me six times, shame on me."

If, on the other hand, you are in no rush and not beholden to such rules of the 'kids eat free' special, then give it a go as each meal has not been disappointing.
