Rivers Edge Grill & Bar — Restaurant in Fortuna

I came in to get a hot breakfast and relax yet it was anything except relaxed.

Before getting into my experience here is what I ordered:

I ordered the following: 1 Pancake $2.00 1 Waffle $4.50 Fried Potatoes $8 which was not labeled like this it was labeled as a side for $4 yet they were $8.00

I was sat in the middle of the room and had multiple waiters and waitress passing never taking my order. I was doing a breakfast date live on TikTok and after asking to move because it was too loud and too many folks passing me I needed to sit in a booth seat.

I was moved to the booth seat mind you was waiting at the table for 15 minutes prior no water no nothing.

I figured if I was in a quitter area I would get some service and nothing. I had to ask 3 different wait staff and the manager twice to have my order taken and nothing. After sitting there for now 30 minutes I again asked is someone going to come and take my order. Then one of the waitresses I original asked for assistance came and took my order. Then a young man delivered my food about 20 minutes after that.

The food was great I was happy with the food however the service was a big NO!

Service is your main responsibility as a server and that is where this establishment failed. I sat in this restaurant for over 1 hour waiting to have my order taken and it was not...

Wow. This restaurant was pretty awful. The decor was average. The service was average. The prices are VERY high for such low quality food. I had the salmon; it was edible, but not what I would describe as good. It came with garlic mashed potatoes that tasted nothing like garlic, but were sour. I could not eat them. It also came with the "chefs vegetable of the day" zucchini and squash that was overcooked and looked and tasted dried out and rubbery. It was difficult to chew. Our appetizer was the fried avocado. It was hands down the worst I've ever had. The oil must had been bad because the batter was bitter and very dark, but was undercooked and mushy. My father had the fish and chips; the fish was fried till it was brown/black and tasted burnt. That might have also been because of the bad oil. You can find better food at a Denny's. They definitely take advantage of the fact that that are basically the only restaurant in the area. I was very disappointed. I would never go here again, nor would I recommend this...

The food here is amazing. I've been in the restaurant to dine, ordered room service and placed an order to go. The view from the dining area is stunning in the evening. Looking out onto the city of Ferndale and onwards towards the ocean is beautiful. The windows are tinted in a way that keeps the glare of the setting sun from being harsh. The wait staff was professional and curtious. The dining area was clean and well kept. Our food was well prepared and received quickly. My experience with room service was pleasant. A bit difficult to get the order placed. That may have been a bit of a communication issue. Beyond that our food arrived at a decent time. Everything was an even tempurature and as ordered. For the to go order there was a slight delay. The timing of my order had to do with that. Beyond that, the food was ok. I had ordered Eggs Benedict and the bread potion was very tough. All in all, I have enjoyed coming to Rivers Edge whenever I stay...
