I was a vendor there this past Sunday doing a photobooth for a holiday party. Mike the owner was very accommodating. Plenty of parking and easy load in and out for my equipment. Food was excellent as well. Highly recommend for your next event or a night out for dinner! 5

We recently celebrated our parent’s 50th wedding anniversary at Michael’s Riverside restaurant. This venue has great qualities: delicious food, good service, elegant setting, big parking lot and the price is very reasonable. Our family and our guests were so pleased with the reception. Our big thanks to Michael for helping us have an unforgettable celebration. We recommend Michael’s Riverside 100%!

Great experience, food and service. I was there for my nieces baby shower. There were three families of people, a ton of decorations, center pieces and special tables set up for her day. They were extremely attentive and provided anything that we asked for. The space is big and open. They have another space on another side too which holds 60 people. The atmosphere was elegant.

Michael's Riverside is one of our favorite restaurants. Their food is excellent. Everyone there is always welcoming and friendly. Weather you go there for dinner, grab takeout, order catering trays or have an event there, you can never go wrong! They do it all, perfectly! They are known for their penne vodka, but the chicken parmigiana & almond crusted fish are equally outstanding. I highly recommend that you check out Michael's Riverside.

We brought a tour group to this restaurant and the food they provided was expansive and delicious! Multiple, well prepared main dishes including salmon, stuffed pork chops, tasty pasta, and more. The service was top drawer and very attentive. We were from Michigan and it was the best restaurant so far in the tour!
