Riverway Cafe - Burnaby

The food and service were excellent. We opted for the dineout menu and will certainly return in the future.

I want to thank the restaurant for brightening up the room with additional lighting. During my previous visit, half of the room was not well-lit for some reason. This time, I noticed some extra lights, a fireplace, and TV screens (although they were more distracting than enhancing the ambiance). I decided not to go for the Dine Out option since I had already tried it before. Instead, I ordered a large salad and truffle fries. The salad seemed to be missing beets, which I believe would have helped balance out the strong feta cheese taste. Next time, I will make sure to request the feta on the side. The salad was similar to the one from the Dine Out menu but larger and with lots of cheese. The truffle fries were lacking in truffle oil, so I asked for more. Unfortunately, I did not realize that there was a strong cheese topping on the fries, which I am not a fan of. I ended up taking both dishes home as I couldn't finish them. Lesson learned for next time.

Great food and service. We tried the Dineout menu. We will definitely come back in the future.

Thanks for making the room slightly brighter with additional lighting. Apparently, the last time I left, half of the room was not illuminated for some reason. This time I noticed some extra lights, added fireplace, TV screens on (although the screens are a distraction instead of adding the beauty of the place). I didn't have the Dine Out because I was there before. I ordered a big salad and truffles. The salad was missing beets, I think....not sure, but it could have helped the overwhelming amount of feta. Note to ask for even Feta on the page. I had the salad of Dine Out and thought it was similar. It was a larger version less beet and lots of cheese. The frits didn't have enough truffle oil and I asked to add a little more. I didn't know the Fritten had a very strong cheese upstairs. My own guilt for a negative reaction to cheese in general. I couldn't stop anyone and bring them home. Big mistake. Living and learning.

I can't say enough about our Darren server. Amazing guy who went up and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Will definitely return when you get Darren as your server, you luck
