Reviews for Riverbend Bistro & Catering in Fort Worth, TX

Absolutely terrible. Tartar sauce was basically water and pickle juice. Fish and chips was the worst I've ever had. Fish was so... watery from being frozen that the breading didn't even adhere. This place is a joke. Completly empty on Friday at lunchtime. $17with water. Read more

The food was excellent but the service rubbed me the wrong way. This place is definitely not family/kid friendly. They only have... one high chair and with our experience our family was seated first then shortly after another family came in also with a 2 yearold and our waitress never offered us a high chair even though she saw us struggling to get our little one seated and she justcatered more to the other family even though we ordered the same items and same group size ….. I will definitely eat hereagain I would just get it to go Read more

We met some friends here for a late lunch, and are we glad! We'd driven past here numerous times, one of those... Let's-try-that-place-someday things. Today we finally got around to it. We've been missing out! Riverbend Bistro is adelight. The menu is pretty straightforward, with some interesting twists on old favorites. Asking Dita, our hostess, forsuggestions, she recommended the fish & chips, which I tried. Fabulous! (See photo.) Others in our party had a variety ofchoices, and everyone was happy about it. We tried desserts -- red velvet cake and coconut cream cake. Wow. I'll need to fastfor a week to pay for that, but worth every calorie. Friendly ambience, reasonable prices, great food, and an easy drive frommy house -- about all I could want. Can't wait to come back. A word about Dita. She's very welcoming, friendly, helpful, andpatient. Really brightens up the place. Give Riverbend a try. The excellent reviews are well-earned. Read more

A hidden Gem!! Opened 4 years ago in the RiverBend Business Park, East, North East Fort Worth between Trinity & Randol Mill Rd... on Handely Ederville- south of 121 going into Downtown FW. For the type or restaurant it is- the location is brilliant. It’s a‘destination’ location. Not a better place to dine in a 5-10 mile radius. Google it! It will give you everything you want toknow. If you try it out once…. You’ll be back…with friends. Sage Sakiri, Albanian, degreed chef from the Swiss culinaryinstitute in Switzerland, is one of the best, talented chefs in the US. Sage owned and worked in Europe, New Jersey, downtownManhattan, NYC restaurants for over 25 years. He was selected to cater opening and set up the restaurant at the SMU GeorgeBush’s Dallas library. Most dishes on the menu is like what you could get at a 5 star Michelin restaurant- anywhere in theworld….but for 1/3 the price. It’s a ‘foodie’ paradise . They will serve breakfast any time of the day, lunch or dinner(w dinner specials) and desserts are unbelievable! PLUS - it’s BYOB after 6pm so you can enjoy your favorite wine or adultbeverage without the insane prices at upper scale restaurants. Open 7 days a week. Look for hours posted, call or look onwebsite. PLUS he caters at Trinity Events venue next door to his Bistro or at your specific location. For the quality of food-(Michelin quality) dishes, you won’t believe what you get for the $ you spend. It’s by far, one of the best places to dinein N.E. - East Fort Worth and quite possibly anywhere in DFW’s ‘golden triangle’ - including Denton. Check it out! If youwant to have a 5 star dinner in a laid back casual atmosphere, as economical as Chili’s or Denny’s while bringing yourfavorite wine or adult beverage- you won’t find a better deal anywhere in the DFW golden triangle. ENJOY!! Read more

First try on this bistro. Ordered the Mustard and Beer entree, the fish had no flavor or seasoning and the batter was crisp but... overcooked so the fish was crunchy. The fries were decent and even though this order was made while I waited. The fries werewarm, not hot. Maybe a better experience dining at the bistro. Read more

Absolutely fantastic. Our paninis were great! This is a delicious respite in an otherwise pretty barren industrial area. Lunch... specials were reasonably priced and were a phenomenal value for the food quality. The menu was very diverse for being fairlysmall. Staff was super nice and the place was clean and neat. Something for everyone. Will definitely be going back! Read more

We’ve eaten here four of the last five days and that’s only because we didn’t know about it in order to eat here on the... first day. Every day, my husband and I have tried a new dish and completely pleased with every selection. Pictures attached arefrom the first meal. The portions are perfectly sized so that they’re filling but not stuffing. Read more

Overall the atmosphere when you walk in is great; the drive up is BFE in the middle of no where by the warehouse district of... handly ederville road. Now don’t let the drive scare you this gem is in a land of it’s own for good reason. A foodies dreamis a chef who cares and show you entertainment on the plate and in your mouth. The appetizers were something out of a MichelinStar restaurant crunchy, sweet, acidic, spicy all in one bite. Crab cakes were some of the best I have ever eaten and I would goback just for those. We were suprised we went on a Friday and it was dead but this intimacy was clouded by the tv andfluctuating music. The atmosphere was a three the food up to the point of dessert was a 5. But the dessert was a solid 1 due tothe fact the brûlée was chewy and the creme was not proper custard it was more like pudding. The price was not like OliveGarden but we were full for the $50 price tag. We would still come back for brunch but we would never do dessert again. Read more
