| - Riverview could be so much more with a little effort. I've been with friends on a boat several times for drinks just to have an alternative to T-Bones because Duke doesn't allow much on Lake Wylie so we're regaled to these two choices. My bf and I went yesterday, thought we might have a nice seafood platter. It appeared dirty and unkempt. The guy at the host stand was nice enough but everything just seemed unorganized on the front of the house. Our waitress, a very pretty African American girl with long hair said she didn't know what I meant when I asked what imports they had on tap ... bless her heart; don't just grab a young girl and throw her out there with a pad and pencil, lol. Train her. Not her fault but just didn't seem to have a clue about server standards, technique, their offerings, etc. I got a Blue Moon in the bottle and she informed me it was the last one, wth, they weren't busy at all. Needs new management, training, etc. could be a gem on the water but definitely not worth the drive.
I love dogs and am not bothered by ppl bringing them to an outdoor venue. That said, my Bf was turned off as there were a lot on the deck when we got there and the table closest to us was letting theirs eat from the table. Not really sanitary in a commercial environment - and yes we have pets in the house.
I'd think with their deck not being on the water it's out of the constraints of Duke Energy and they could rebuild and angle for a better view/clean it up. Just kinda rough/old/needing repair all the way around.
We only got one beer and ordered a chicken quesadilla so we could go elsewhere to eat. To the kitchen's credit the quesadilla was very good. Unfortunately I feel if they have great food or kitchen talent, many ppl may leave without trying their fare based on the roughness of the front end.
Unless I hear it's made a 180, doubt I'll ever return. A shame we don't have more choices on the lake.
