Riverside Tavern — Restaurant in Beachwood

Food was good the bar tender was very nice .. however and this is one of my rare occasions where I need to assess and address something. Had a weird experience that turned me off a bit After my meal I was switching myself to the bar the man jake asked me to close out first so I gave him the tap on the Apple Pay I said I was going to smoke than return to continue my night at the bar ..he says ok I was Never handed any receipts I wasn’t done for the evening either As I return He stops me infront of everyone abruptly asks me “can I tip ?” … kind of loudly …. I ask him for the receipt from my order shocked because I wasn’t leaving yet as well as have never had been handed a receipt for the opportunity to tip him he approached me as if I had stiffed him for a tip So he says there’s no tipping with apply pay Turned out to be incorrect because I tipped with Apple Pay later no problem at the bar I had a 30$ tab I handed him a 10$ bill 33% tip because he obviously needed it It’s his being so loud and abrupt boarderline rude as to get the attention of the bar tender so I’m assuming the other patrons as well.. that left a bad taste in my mouth I tip when I leave when I’m done . when he saw me continuing my night he was out of line approaching me the way he did Sucks to because the food was good and the beer was cold . Customer service is a must tho ….. I never stiff anyone I said I was coming back after I smoked and I did just that. I tip at the end not middle of my experience “Can you tip “ ? Feels like kids run the place I spent nearly 100$ that night between 25$ in Tips and 60$ in food on myself after a long day brought lunch for tomorrow home as well I chose this restaurant to decompress finish my night off and I...

This is by far one of the most pleasant and elegant bars that I have ever been through due to its calm and enticing atmosphere. I had traveled to this bar to support family and their musical endeavors.

The facility was clean, then music that was being played was low in volume so conversation may still persue, which is much appreciated. Loudness amd obnoxiousness immediately dissuades me.

Moving forward with their drink menu. They have a plethora of whiskey that is available, which was quite impressive. Additionally the staff is also knowledgeable of the menu both drink and food, which is always a good sign.

Unfortunately their food menu needs improvement has far as quantity and quality. The options are brief and also a little pricey. Our waiter / waitress had dropped by to introduce themselves to the new arrivals to our party, but had never come back to take our order. And we were there for well over an hour.

However we did order a thin (very thin) crust pizza, but it was delicious and topped with fresh basil.

Overall a good recommendation for a common environment after a long days at work.
