The first thing I noticed when I entered Riverside Winery was the aroma of liver and onions. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive periwinkle and striped decor. We were greeted and seated in the Boomerang Room, a creepy room decorated with numerous Barbie dolls and loose combs. Our waiter, whose name was Phil, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were Cheerios, Hamburger Helper, beans, and blueberry pie. I decided to order Roast turkey Newburg and my companion, Adrian, ordered Fried chicken Exotica. Phil seemed amiable as he brought in our orders about thirty-eight minutes later. I had a piece of bread and butter on the side, and Adrian had a mulligan stew. A Shirley Temple was a perfect complement for my roast turkey.
The Roast turkey was small but a bit loose. The common way to cook with cucumber is to whirl first, but our chef chooses to freeze, then blend it into the roast turkey. Adrian thought the fried chicken seemed a bit dirty, and said he would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about twenty-five dollars, which I think is bearable. Overall, the food was satisfying, the atmosphere was insane, and the service was ludicrous. If you are a wily person, this might be the ideal place for you.
