The Riverview Restaurant in West Dunbartonshire

Overpriced tasteless pasta, overpriced average burgers, overpriced okay korma curry. Barely English speaking staff. Not recommended.

We had a good meal here, the curry was especially tasty. There was no one there and the location looked a bit run down. The toilet were not clean.

Stopped by for dinner, very quiet place with a great selection and delicious food, right next to the river.

Was visiting luss for a competition and staying at a BnB about 10 minutes drive away We found it on google with rave reviews. We arrived and where promptly seated. We ordered 2 drinks (non alcoholic) starters main and dessert each plus two appetizers to share. Everything was fantastic. It was possibly the best korma I've ever had. So much so I had to pass compliments to he chef who came out and shook my hand. My partner tried to steal my dinner that's how good it was! They kindly sold us dessert in takeaway containers and the staff and owner was really lovely The venue is Spacious and well decorated. We arrived early evening on a Friday night and whilst the delivery orders where pinging there was only one other group in so the space was quiet. But the music was nice and venue was clean and welcoming! We spent about £40 per head but this was a big treat for us and we spotted they have some really fairly priced lunch time and midweek deals. You could 100 percent spend about 20 on a two course option and be FULL.

Delicious meal I had all vegetarian and it was excellent. Nice and friendly staff/owners.

Took an hour and a half to deliver , the chilli dogs came and was the smallest portion ever for £7 , the chips came absolutely freezing. Wouldn’t order again

The serving was 5 star!! She described the foods for us so well that we got hungry just because of it. She also customers the food for our taste. Very happy and recommend it!! Curries are great!

Excellent indian food and service! Thank you!

The owner gave us wonderful service and advice on curries. It's a family owned business which I love, and the curries were so delicious. I'll definitely be back again. Just moved to the area and was looking for a great restaurant with excellent Indian food. They have a lot of other selections but I highly suggest trying the curries. 10/10! I meant to take a picture of the food but was distracted by how delicious it was I forgot.

Wonderful personalised experience. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and the food was amazing. Nothing but good things to say about the Riverview. Keep up the great work!

Stopped by tonight 19th June 24 with three work colleagues for a great meal comprising of a rib eye steak, a burger and two Indian dishes. All very well presented, great tasting food and excellent service from the new manager who has been running this place since 2023 I understand. Well recommended. Thanks

Excellent food, great service. Gave good recommendations for both wine and food too, we were not disappointed!

The food here was exceptional. The waitress gave us recommendations for each course and the wine, and they were all spot on. Some of the nicest I dian food I have ever had. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.

The ambience is warm and intimate and just amazing ! I had gone out for a Friday night date with my husband and the owner Sagarika went out of her way to make it super special for us . A proper candle light set up and the food was mouthwatering. The service was impeccable and they were open to accommodate any of my needs for the items. The drinks were well thought of and served beautifully! I will definitely go again for a 100 dates

Appalling. “Friends” must have sent in these reviews as I would genuinely never cook this badly even for myself. A 4.4 rated restaurant serving green potatoes and stale chicken as an “authentic” service? Please, at least make sure your business reflects some sense of what you advertise. Genuinely shocked, and a bit sad, as this is my first bad google review anywhere and I only post this in the hopes that someone does not fall into whatever scam it is you are selling. Clean the trash up outside, and maybe hire a new chef if that is the problem.

A wide variety of the most delicious food. I wanted to try everything having tasted what I ordered. Try it before it gets too popular!

What an upgrade from the grotty old Boozer it used to be! Decor is very plush and amazing! I will definitely be back for something nice to eat... menu looks great, eclectic mix of dishes for everyone! Hostess very nice and accommodating...makes a great Pina Colada... very tasty and saweet! Will try another next visit... 👍🏻 Looks good for parties too, has a venue room upstairs

We had private party 🥳 and enjoyed Indian meals.

Have had 3 takeaways now from the Riverview and the quality of the produce and service has been of a standard not rivalled locally. Would definitely recommend.

The food was sooo good I love it and also the employees where super nice to me and the atmosphere reminds me of pirates so it’s nice

The food was soooo good ! I had the honey glazed sea bass and was definitely the best I tasted and can’t wait to try more of their food next time ! And the staff where so nice

Delivery. 2 Mac and cheese. Wasn't exactly cheesy :/ Garlic naan was thinner than a fiver and again. Lacked any garlicness. 2 quid cheesy pasta has more taste to it. £35 down 🤣 obviously can't comment on the atmosphere as it was a delivery.

Had a fabulous dinner, the sticky toffee pudding is so good

We ordered steaks . Sorry but the chief has no idea how to do them. Mine should be medium I got well done. My gf ordered rare she got.over done. Gravy sauce tayste like dirty water. And no draft beer at all even tho it was on the menu. And price for stake 18 £ for something that you can't even cook

Lovely freshly prepared food. Clean restaurant and friendly owner. Reasonably priced.

From my dining experience in The Riverview Restaurant, I was taken by surprise with their distinct mastery over both Indian and Italian cuisines. Each dish felt like a journey to its respective homeland. Their wine collection was simply sublime. The ambiance wrapped me in a warm embrace, reminiscent of cozy evenings with loved ones. It was great and would revisit whenever I am there for my next holiday..

One of the best spots to get Indian food! Really loved the food and the hospitality, going to tell my friends and family about the place and share my experience with them

Fabulous curries. Great portion sizes. Good value. Warm welcome from owner. Lovely family run business

Delicious, the Indian selections were amazing and so fresh. Service was superb

Wonderful food and the best service!

I got takeaway the staff were friendly and the food was lovely

I highly recommend The Riverside Bar and Grill to anyone in Dumbarton or visiting the area. It’s a hidden gem with fantastic food, a wonderful atmosphere, and attentive service – a must-visit for food enthusiasts and those looking for a memorable dining experience by the river.

Came in for a meal for the first time, staff are so lovely and attentive! Food was beautiful the cocktails are so nice aswell, will definitely be back.

Very good food and service, and a lovely atmosphere too!

What to say but fantastic! Food was excellent and very reasonably priced, surprised the place is so quiet on a Wendesday! had a steak and a burger and both were fantastic! Strawberry daiquiri to finish, fabulous, highly recommend!

Nice atmosphere and pleasant staff food was nice and plentiful

Went early evening. Very quiet but a lovely place to sit and eat. Staff very accommodating. Menu now mainly mainly Asian food and tasty

Best meal in Dumbarton will definitely be back

One good option for fine dining experience in Dumbarton. The staff is really friendly and the chefs also personalise some dishes according to allergies and spice tolerance (they fid for me). Their curries are authentic and home-made, making them must try options.! I got a chance to speak to the owner. She's also the chef there and makes sure the food is on point.! She seems to be passionate about her business and takes care of everything being on-site. They also have an events venue with bar upstairs which caters around 70 people. (Personally, I liked the ambience, service and their curries alot. So I definitely recommend this place)

Tired from our exploring today we popped our head in the door spur of the moment to see of they had room. We were met with a smiling face welcoming us in. The food choices were varied from authentic currys to pasta, steak and burgers. We chose simple options which were beautifully cooked and very filling. All the staff were friendly and courteous and couldn't do enough for us. The restaurant has been in new hands for less than a month and we wish them all.the best going forward. If you want good food, good value and good service you cannot go wrong here, give them a go. We will definitely be back. Thank you 😊

Pretty bad very unprofessional and took fuc88ng ages

Great food great service defo recmend

Beautiful, new open place. Very friendly staff and great food.

Food was amazing, has been every time we order. This place has best chips and the smash burgers are awesome! Quick delivery too 🙌 happy all round 😄

New name, new management and new promotions. A wind of change has given this venue a much needed breath of fresh air. Staff are much more friendlier than the predecessors and I can't wait to come back.

Food was fantastic, service was great and staff were so welcoming. Found myself a favorite new local food spot! Keep up the good work guys!

Wow! Best burger in Dumbarton! I will be ordering again!

Great vibe, great music. Service was great, very sociable and happy to chat. Range of cocktails is amazing and they serve Menabrae!! What is not to like!!

Made so welcome when we arrived with our small dog. Good food and brilliant service.

Food was fresh and tasty. Cocktails where fantastic!

The food was great, best chicken burger so far. Plenty of chips, jalapeño peppers, spot on. order from here again. Delivery was prompt

Quiet wee pub. Upmarket cocktails now. Pricey.

Was here for my nephews funeral they did him proud

Had my birthday here on Saturday night! Was amazing! Couldn’t have asked for a better night, amazing food and cocktails as usual! Caitlin was great kept up with our drinks orders! 🍸 can’t wait for my next night out

Went for lunch with the wife today and from start the staff are very welcoming and helpful. The food was fantastic I would definitely recommend going here.

Food was ace, chicken wings superb 👍

We were in today for lunch and can't fault it.

Had the most amazing gin bramble and the nachos were top notch 👌

Highly recommend! Staff always super helpful and friendly. For the vegetarians I recommend ordering the stack waffle with cauliflower, it’s going to blow your mind.

Best place I've been to in all of Scotland. Gary was our server and he was lovely to have a chat with, great recommendations, and made our overall experience a 10. Can't wait to come back and bring along more friends so they can try some of the delicious options the place has to offer.

Lovely friendly staff ,food was good , not very big but ok for smaller groups of people x

The menu selection is short but an amazing tasty selection of food. The food tastes absolutely amazing. Fire cracker prawns are to die for and the macaroni is off the scale. Half price Monday on main courses gives you a chance to try food on the menu you wouldn't normally order. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed. Amazing cocktails too.

Barry has gone waaaaaaaayyy above and beyond tonight. He has brought us the food we wanted with a half hr journey just because we were let down by uber app as it was only 2.5 miles away, but across the Clyde from where we are!! Cannot believe his generosity, didn't even blink to help us out. Now waiting for the amazing food from the amazing menu. #legendbarry!!! So having a wee time away and bingy wants something nice for dinner. Come across this stunning menu of everything she (and I) would love. Order it uber eats.... Waiting.... Well, call the restaurant and yeh it's 2.5 miles away, across the CLYDE!!!! So basically an hr for him to deliver!!! I apologise, he says no bother and said, I'll check the payment is cancelled and call you back!! OMG, HE CANCELLED THE PAYMENT AND IS BRINGING THE FOOD ANYWAY!!! It was a wee order, but what a guy, and what a menu!!! Okay, Barry from The Waterside Inn, has done a wonderstroke. Not only did he get the food to us in record time, it was friggin sooo good. We ordered, chilli.. It comes with rice and tortillas, soft tacos with pulled beef brisket.. Comes with loaded tortillas and 6 Frank's sauce hot wings. All of it was so amazing!!! But not done with being the best restaurant ever, they gave us skin on fries that were sooo great AND the best wee pot of mac and cheese I honestly, have ever tasted ❤️❤️❤️❤️ best meal I've had in ages 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Dive bar that serves cheep food on disposable plates. Menu looks good but actual quality is nasty. Very poor selection of beer and wine. Loads of men smoking outside. Avoid!

Best food in the shire 👍 cocktails are unreal as well 👌

Food was amazing, excellent delivery early aswell definitely be ordering again 👍

Great place. The service goes above and beyond for customers and the food is really good.

Great wee pub. Free pool table as well!
