Inventive Southern fare including sushi in an upscale space with a deck overlooking Downtown Conway.

We sat at one of the booths by the bar. Absolutely delicious food. Egg roll app and French onion soup both so good, and burgers big and super juicy. Fries with their ranch – chef’s kiss as well. And, our server, Chloe, was super friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable with great recommendations.

We had to wait especially long for our appetizer and food. We ordered oysters rock for $17 and assumed it would be a half dozen but it was only 4. They were good pricey for that amount. Hubby got bacon wrapped pork tenderloins and I got the shrimp lobster scallops au gratin. Both were great. We were just disappointed we had to wait so long for our food Was seated around 730 (had reservations) and appetizer didn’t come until around 815

Honestly the only thing worth paying for was the alcohol… My $47 prime ribeye was flavor less poor meat quality mainly fat. The twice baked mashed potatoes left something to be desired.. the truffle Parmesan fries were delicious. Although they were plated on top of my prime ribeye probably trying to hide the char burns the onion soup was actually very good savory in flavor oysters Rockefeller had shell pieces in the oysters, the crab in the veal piccata had shell pieces as well lemon tzatziki potatos were alight. As far as the staff it was all right as well. They had a delay in the sushi area for the food which took longer than expected. Waiter offered a basket of bread and oil with herbs although it seems like they should have brought those out to begin with. When they seat you at the table you can see into the kitchen which made me cringe saute and grill station staff had no hair nets on or hats. The floor was disgusting with food dropped everywhere. The tables were sticky and the chairs were well worn. As far as the appearance of the staff was not uniformed professionally, some of them had leggings and others had yoga pants. Although the one redeeming factor to be completely honest was the dessert for me. The creme brulee was phenomenal. The lemon cheesecake was just a regular cheese cake with lemon drizzle. First time there not impressed. Definitely not worth the $200.00 tab.

My husband had the pork chop and I had the appetizer chicken tenders. The pork chop was tasty, but just a little undercooked and too fatty. The chicken tenders were huge and delicious.

Went to Rivertown Bistro for my anniversary dinner and the experience was wonderful. We did have a reservation and sat only a couple minutes before getting seated. The atmosphere was lively but also intimate within your party. Food service was quick and the majority of the food itself was good, with amazing daily specials. Drinks were good with a great selection. They also offered us a complimentary dessert for our anniversary! For the amount of food and drinks we got, our total was $150, which doesn’t seem bad, but it definitely would only be a special occasion outing for me.

Nice menu options but costly for the size plate and no soup or salad included. Four meals – only one seafood- all waters and it was over $160. Ordered the seafood radiatore dish and it was very spicy. I like spice and could not finish it. I checked the menu again and no mention of that. Staff was attentive but for the menu prices I would prefer not to see the wait staff in wrinkled t-shirts and leggings. Maybe more professional to match the decor? Not only our waiter. All front staff dressed the same. It was very dark and we could not see our food. We would return if guests or friends requested to go, but likely not due to cost vs value. We like to support Conway, but I don’t want to feel like I wasted money.

Interesting menu with pretty good food. The service was good. The ambiance is nice, sort of pub like. It is called Rivertown bistro but there is no view of the river. We had their Mussel Frites, – very delicious, Fried Oyster salad – also very good, and the Yuzu Miso Glazed Salmon, came with a spring roll – which was tasty. We had enough food to have leftovers for lunch the next day. They also brought us a very yummy herb infused oil and some freshly baked bread (on the house) – that was a nice touch. All in all, I would say this is one of the more interesting places to eat at in Conway.

We popped in while walking around the neighborhood without checking reviews or the menu. Nice atmosphere. 2 floor seating. Menu has many different options. Yummy drink choices and a wine list.
We ordered the beer cheese fondue special, not knowing it was on a big board with sausage, pretzel bread, fruit, and fries! Delicious! The steak burger with the most amazing homemade onion rings (a little shy on the bacon) and the crab cake and scallops over mashed sweet potatoes were so very tasty.
Everything was yummy and presented beautifully from the appetizer to the pomegranate margaritas, to the entrees. No room for dessert. Glad we went in on a whim and will definitely go back now that we’re moving to the area.

The portion size has become smaller for the price and quality of the food wasn’t as good. We eat there on special occasions and have noticed over time. This time, the grilled chicken was cold. It was a take out but they were extremely busy and told would be 45 min and that is what I gave them before arriving. Parking was a nightmare with more walking traffic around the area and no longer parking around corner where green space now is.
