Cafe' Riverside - East Hertfordshire

I went to Cafe Riverside's Greek evening which is on every Saturday evening. Small cosy restaurant with the feel of a traditional Greek family run taverna. Proper Greek /Cypriot food and wine all very good as the manager is Greek Cypriot so knows the real dishes. Menu not too big but not too small. A good alternative to the standard but rather bland corporates.

We ordered a Greek buffet for a colleague's leaving party. The service was excellent, everything arrived on time and as agreed. The food was delicious and homemade. Everyone at the party enjoyed it! I would definitely recommend it.

Our visit to this restaurant was not great. Most of the menu items were sold out, including basic lunch items. The halloumi fries we ordered were just chunks of oily halloumi fried in a pan, with no batter or breadcrumbs. The chips we ordered were also very oily. The Cheese and Ham panini was served on a dry piece of poorly cut ciabatta bread, with hardly any ham. To make matters worse, we had to wait 45 minutes for our food, despite there being only two tables in the restaurant. We won't be returning, as there are other cafes in town that surpass this restaurant in terms of food and service.

This restaurant has the best breakfast in town, with excellent coffee and service. The prices are great and the overall atmosphere is perfect for enjoying a meal.

Went for coffee and cake here, but was very disappointed.Firstly we ordered two specials,which was written CLEARLY on the black board in the middle of the shop-coffee and cake £2.95,LOVELY...only to be told when paying,with no apology ‘oh that should have been rubbed off the black board’You now have to pay for coffee and cake separately and it’s more expensive’...OK!!!!Well maybe you should rub that off???-Should have really argued the fact that it was advertised but being polite we just payed the price.My son had a chocolate milkshake,which he said was tasteless and looked like the milk had gone off,lumpy and curdled...yuk!!The staff didn’t seem very happy in their work and quite frankly we would never go there again....
