Editorial Review for Riverview Tavern – by J.P. Anderson
The Scene
Another classy bar from Steve Soble's growing empire (Southport Lanes, Lucky Strike, Corner Pocket), the Riverview is sunny and comfortable, with hardwood floors, roomy booths, and a subdued decor that pays homage to the old Riverview Amusement Park (formerly at Belmont & Western). Seats fill quickly in the airy main bar; a couple other rooms offer billiards and video games for the overflow crowd.
The Draw
Nice selection of draft beers, from Newcastle and Bell's Oberon to Goose Island, Sierra Nevada and Summit Hefe Weizen. But the real draw here is the sophisticated bar-food menu--always a good bet in Soble's establishments--which includes treats like mini corn dogs, cilantro-pesto quesadillas, and a mean spinach artichoke dip. Salads are so big they come with full-size tongs for tossing; try the steak version, with grilled beef, new potatoes and crisp green beans. Spice-lovers will dig the "Fireball," a blackened chicken sandwich with jalapeño mayo and a pile of seasoned fries.

We went to Riverview b/c had a coupon, but the food was so reasonably priced, we didn't even use the coupon! We have gone back 4 times since! The menu is extensive and everything that we have tried has been great. We especially like the pizza, salads, and french fries. The service is also very friendly and prompt.
Pros: food, price
