Ri Ra Irish Pub & Restaurant - Portland

Service was slow. Waitress got order wrong, resulting in one entree being served 10 minutes after the others. Great location.

We had a great time at the River Crab on 4th of July. The weather was spectacular so we decided to sit outside. It was perfect - the yellow umbrellas and the blue sky and water made a serene setting. Our waitress was attentive and met all our needs. The food was excellent and we hated to leave. We will definitely be back and I have been spreading the word about this place. Watching the boats on the water is a big plus. We hope to come back for a sailboat ride and lunch now that is being offered during the week.

I had made a reservation for 7:30. It was my son's birthday. We also stayed at the River Crab hotel there . We were seated at 7:45 At 8:05 No one still had come to.our table. Had to ask for water and 8:15 a boy brought us water and said he would send over a waitress. 8:30 still no waitress Got up and told the hostess to please send a waitress. 8 :40 still no one. Every waitress passed out table like we were not even there. I.was so upset that we got up and left the restaurant and went somewhere else.to eat. There were 4 of us and my son's birthday was totally ruined!!!!!. I have never in my life treated so poorly at a restaurant. I will be sure to tell my friends of the horrible service we received. NO EXCUSE FOR THIS KIND OF SERVICE!!!!!!!!!

In summary, I was disappointed with this restaurant. I should have listened to the reviews. The place has potential, but the entrees were absolutely terrible. I ordered the potato encrusted whitefish, but the potatoes were not cooked and it was gross. My wife's beef medallions were overcooked. The only things we enjoyed were the bread and wine. Overall, nothing great about this location. We will not be returning.

For a large restaurant , noise was minimal. There's enough spacing between tables, so one is not subjected to hearing someone else's conversation. This seems to be a welcome feature of most Landry restaurants.Your prices are the highest we have encountered at most better restaurants including Landry restaurants. The most we have paid, including a 20% tip was $100. In Florida we go to your type of restaurant once a month. Our $128 bill at the River Crab restricts us to consider it only a "special occasion" restaurant.
