We loved this cafe. The staff was attentive and friendly, the atmosphere was interesting and homey, it was big enough to handle it's popularity, and the food was awesome! My daughter got the crab melt sandwich with fries, and wow. They were both excellent. I had a simple side of eggs with a cinnamon roll and my husband had the...

My husband & I went to the Riverside on May 6, 2012 for brunch. We are morning people on Sundays and were promptly seated. Our waitress was extremely friendly and very efficient.
They are in the process of replacing booth seating. The new booths are extremely comfortable and spacious.
The Riverside is also a big supporter of local artists, and...

When in Ellsworth we try to time it so that we make it here for lunch. Not always easy because it gets crowded and they close at 2pm. Waitstaff is always pleasant. We usually get crab cake sandwiches, burgers, quiche or any of the specials. PLEASE leave room for dessert. The deep dish pumpkin pie with the crumbly topping a...

This is a regular stop for lunch, the clam chowder although still good isn't quite the same as is was years ago. Everything is fresh and great service..don't miss it.

As a lifelong vegetarian, i was ecstatic to find a restaurant in this little town we were passing through that advertised vegetarian meals and "gourmet tofu." I eagerly ordered tofu scramble. I was sorely disappointed when I received a watery puddle of under cooked (borderline raw) tofu cubes, onions, tomato, and lots and lots of spinach. Unfortunately, this puddle extended...

I will post this review right away. We all know to drain this dish well and even though this is the first complaint for the Tofu scram, I will put everyone on notice. In this dish the tofu does start out raw. The seasonings are added to the saute. All the other dishes the Tofu is seasoned with nutritional yeast,...

After climbing Cadillac Mt at dawn, and then bugging out of our hotel room in Bar Harbor, during the winter season, we could not find a place that was open for brunch on Mt Desert Island. Ellsworth is along the route back home to the south, and we found this great place for a late breakfast/brunch. They serve breakfast till...
