Riverside Manor

Food here was really good. The brunch had a wide selection. My only fault was the smell. There was a bad smell in there, I could not pinpoint what it was but it was not a pleasant smell.

Came here last week during brunch for the first time to celebrate my cousins birthday.
The restaurant is a nice size. Tons of space which is great for large parties, events or just a few friends going for a bite to eat. There is also valet parking even though it’s not exactly needed because the parking lot is big with plenty of spaces.
To be honest, the price of the meal here can’t be beat. Very affordable and a huge bang for your buck.
Mimosas are $ 2.50 each which is great, however, the pour on the OJ is a little too much.
I hate to say it, but the service here was not really that good.
It took me about 15 mins to wave someone over to order a mimosa and another 15 mins to order another after the first one was finished. Nobody was really in charge of our table. Random people just came over and picked up the plates.
The food itself was also just OK. They had a decent selection of both lunch of breakfast foods to choose from but unfortunately nothing to rant and rave about. Coffee wasn’t that strong either. They also didn’t have the chocolate fountain as advertised, just a bowl of melted chocolate.
I was bouncing back between two and three stars, but because of the price, and what you get, I upped it with the extra star.
Would I go back again? I might. Personally, wouldn’t go out of my way to go there again because it’s a little far. But if a friend suggested it, I wouldn’t completely shun it.

Ive been here several times over the last few years, the food use to be great and taste homemade, now sadly it’s terrible. The restaurant is beautiful, the staff very friendly, very nice valet, but went twice in the last few months, once for a party, once for brunch and both times the food was disgusting, tasted frozen and reheated, any meat dish was totally inedible, even the deserts pastries tasted pre made and frozen. Won’t be returning.

Brunch for my husband’s 60^th. Buffet choices were great and tasted superb. Omelets were made to order and turkey on carving station was moist and very tasty. We spent 2 relaxing hrs with 2 children enjoying numerous trips to the chocolate fountain. Service staff was excellent

My party of 9 went for Sunday Brunch a few weeks ago and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The only thing that was a bit of an issue was when my large party arrived, we did not have reservations and the Maitre D’ said several times we should have made a reservation. We arrived promptly at 11 and the place didn’t get busy until after 12.
The service was good. The waiters picked up our plates quickly. The food trays were continually refilled.. I think the brunch price is very fair and the food was delicious. We are going back again for another brunch service.

I went to this restaurant yesterday for Sunday brunch and was totally pleased with the experience. While the food is not the very top quality that you might find in an expensive restaurant, this place offers an exceptional variety of high quality food at a very reasonable price.
I did not have any of the negative experiences (stale bagels, empty trays, rude waitstaff, etc.) mentioned by other reviewers. On the contrary, the food was fresh and delicious, all of the trays were quite full (and were regularly being refilled), and the waitstaff was attentive.
I would recommend the Sunday brunch to anyone seeking a tasty, enjoyable meal in a relaxing atmosphere. I look forward to returning.

I don’t take this one-​star review lightly, and am rating it only for their brunch/​lunch buffet. This was the worst buffet ever, and the worst meal I have had out in years. It cost $ 20 per person with the tax and a mandatory tip regardless of the number in your party. It seems cheap but it’s actually overpriced for what you get.
Anyone who says this is the best thing and that they would go back hasn’t gotten out as much as they probably should.
On paper it would sound good.
As an example, the tilapia looked good with artichokes etc. But the taste of the tilapia was so gamey, that it was just horrible. I am not sure if it was bad, reheated from previous days, or what, but if I had ordered that as an entrée and it tasted so bad, it would killed me to have to pay for it. At least with the buffet, I could have something else to fill up on.
Another example is the shrimp. Yes, they had some shrimp but they are the most baby shrimp in shells that you can imagine which are not worth dealing with.
For a third example, the deserts were nothing at all special. Kind of stuff restaurants/​diners buy in boxes at restaurant depot. They did have a chocolate tower where you can put in strawberry pieces and pineapple pieces but the strawberries were all hard as a rock and the chocolate never actually dried on them. It was the weirdest thing.
There is nothing good like smoked salmon, regular salmon, etc.
The service was lacking. We had gotten water when we sat down but you have to get your own knives and forks, and to get coffee or the check took forever to get someone’s attention. And even the coffee tasted like it had been sitting around forever.
They added a 15 or 18% service charge to our bill, which being just a few people is not typical. Why is that mandatory for a buffet? Under 6 people gets a madatory tip?
The carving station had a roast beef that was ok. But that was the only thing at the carving station. The building itself is nice enough but there are signs that it needs some repairs.
They also have valet parking which seems very unnecessary.
I am never going back and I think this place will proabably be out of business. The management here is just lacking. It’s just a mess, in my personal opinion.
Maybe if you just want an omelette, sausage, and some potatos you might be happy with the food. But this is not a good place to eat in my view.

Horrible. Came here on a recommendation for a good Father’s Day brunch. Came in, and the nasty manager had such an attitude problem with all the guests. The AC was not working (85 degree day) and no one thought to warn a family with 2 newborn babies? When asked abt it, 2 waiters and the manager were both extremely rude in saying that it would be fixed at some point. The manager even said we could just leave if we wanted. Really? Where are we going to go at 11am on Father’s Day with no reservations? No clean plates, all the trays of food were constantly empty and no refilled and when asked what management was doing to compensate for the awful experience, I was told nothing. Horrible service. Horrible experience. Mediocre food. Never coming back. Steer clear.

Love the brunch. It’s phenomenal. So fresh, so clean, and lovely. Great selection of all breakfast foods. I would go every Sunday if I was available.

I need a 0 star rating.
SERVICE: ⁰⁄₅

I will never ever go back. They just replaced steaks we ordered with something else without telling us. Food took about 4 hours to get to our table after constant complaining. Not enough staffing. Horrible management.

They double booked a party room and gave the room to the other party. Never called us to let us know. They were not able to accommodate us at all and really did not care or make an effort to help us out. The person in charge was very rude. He came up with many poor excuses like we don’t have enough staff, we don’t have table cloths, just one excuse after another. After being a customer for years I will never go back again!

Great food and atmosphere ! The prices a very reasonable and it has a bar. Can’t wait to come back !

Boy, I must have missed out on the great food and service everyone received from all these previous reviews I’ve read. This was not worth my time or money. Service was extremely slow and clearly clueless for an occupied table count of 7. Had to ask for the same things a couple of times. The arugala salad must have had some really expensive pears in it because it was sliced so small you could barely see it as well as the one pc. of goat cheese that was spared. The pizza we recieved was room temp. because it was actually the staff’s own (made 30 min. ago). The only redeeming quality was that ours was brought out immediately afterwards. Such a shame after wanting to try it for so long. The interior and patio are the only nice features, which isn’t the best to focus on for a place that serves food. Wouldn’t return!

Not bad for a brunch buffet. The atmosphere is really nice and the service is excellent. Also for the price — this place almost deserves 4 stars, but the food for me was just OK. It costs about 18 bucks after gratuities are included. My mimosa was only $ 2.50. Which was a great price, although it was tiny and heavy on the OJ.
They have an omelet station, waffles, pastries, dessert, bacon, potatoes, and some Italian fare like chicken parm and ravioli. In addition they had a huge chocolate fondue station with fresh fruit. I can only assume the buffet items change once in a while so I’d be interested in knowing what else they serve.
I would definitely come back here again. I know i’m extra picky when it comes to buffets, so I’m happy I found a good one.

The service was really good. I was happy with how we were attended to. I was a little disappointed in the brunch. The shrimp were mealy and there weren’t that many choices.

Everytime we come here there is always a cover charge for the door for the loft. Tonight was $ 25 each. The music was deep house. Not bad… But the djs weren’t even spinning. They were on the side talking t eachother. Each time we come here thr dance floor is empty except for the 1 or 2 that are wasted. Drinks are iver priced and tasteless. Not fun and not worth it. Mignt as well go to the ciry.

So the folks wanted to have lunch after Sunday service and off we went to Riverside Manor for some good ‘ol brunch buffet. First of this place is located basically on Route 20 but their address is 1 Morlot Street which the damn GPS did not understand! Strong work Nuvi – strong work. Anyways when we actually got there the place was pretty nice. The décor is nothing extravagant but it isn’t bare either. For a cold Sunday afternoon there was a good amount of people in the place which says a lot. So the buffet is the typical Sunday brunch. Omelette station and waffle station, bacon, sausage, home fries and some pastries. They also had chicken florentine and baked sole. Overall flavors were good for a buffet. But they had a chocolate waterfall for some dipping action post entrée. And the crème brule was perfectly made. If there’s one thing that pisses me off at a buffet it’s a horrible interpretation of crème brûlée. These guys didn’t butcher it as I’m pleased to say. $ 15.95 for a really good brunch with coffee, tea, soda, and juices included is hard to beat. They also add an 18% gratuity into the check already so it makes it convenient to pay at the end. Overall this was a good choice for a Sunday brunch with the fam bam.

I went here for my bday back in 2012 and setup a brunch for 30+ ppl. And they all enjoyed it here, the food options were great, service was nice as well as the ambiance and lets not forget the unlimited Sangria!!!
I would definitely return here, its a very nice restaurant being that its in Paterson lol

Very nice clean place. Food is delicious. And service is pretty fast. But most of all I appreciated their bartender VICTORIA!!! She is super professional. My glass was never empty lol. Drinks she made was fantastic. And she kinda know what to offer u from the beginning if u can’t make up your mind. Love this place. Definitely coming back!

The brunch food is ok. It’s priced right for the quality and amount to options. Omelet station, carving station with only ham, potatoes, bacon, sausage, chicken, pork, two pasta dishes, salad, cookies and fruits. They have bagels that are not great. Small and stale.
Nothing was hot and that was dissapointing since we were the first seating at 11am
The service is probably the biggest disappointment. They brought half of our drink orders and forgot water for other people at the table. They cleared only a few of the dirty plates and «what do you want to drink» should be changed to «what would you LIKE to drink»
Lucky for the waiter that they added 18% gratuity to the check because he was worth about 10%.
It’s 2 maybe 3 stars and not a single star higher.
