Bistro Riviere - Erin

First time visiting today. Friendly service and amazingly delicious food! Had the seafood linguini, best I've ever had! Definitely will be back.

I might have preferred to give this restaurant a 4 1/2 rating if the interior had been more welcomingWe are on the patio.

We were in the mood for a quick lunch while driving by ErinAnd then we noticed that Bistro Rivière was open at lunch timeSo we went in.

We ordered take out. I ordered a bistro burger and my partner ordered fish and chips. I picked up the order and as I was walking out I looked inside the bag and they only had one order. I had to go back in and they forgot the other order. I had to wait 5 more minutes for them to put it together. What a waste of $36 !! The burger patty was burnt and the fish was under cooked. The fries were dripping in oil, the match stick fries were so overdone that the were dark brown and some pieces were black! It is far from fine dining bistro.

Service was prompt; good selection of craft beers. Interesting daily features both in terms of appetizers and mains. They also have burgers and fish and chips and wings, but our group went for risotto, pecan encrusted salmon and chicken supreme. Very tasty and reasonably priced. The calamari app was properly cooked; very nice! This is small restaurant so a reservation might be a good idea on busy evenings. They have a nice patio but weather was threatening when we were there. My daughter lives nearby so we will likely be back. My only complaint (minor) was the foam in the chairs is worn out, I could feel the springs.
