My wife and I went to the Riverview restaurant in LIC and had a terrible experience. We thought we were either in the “twilight zone” or on an episode of “Punked”. We went on a Saturday, during Brunch at 12:30pm. Before entering we looked at the menu and saw that they had burgers and sandwiches. Once seated and drinks were ordered, we looked at the menu at the table and no such burgers nor sandwiches were to be found. The menu had dinner items. Who eats lobster and pork chops at 12:30 in the afternoon. We were bamboozled. Before I go on I must say that we did ask both the waiter and the hostess if the restaurant served burgers. We were told on both instances that the menu (menu with burgers and sandwiches) we saw in the front of their establishment was only for the weekdays. We could have left but decided to just have salads. As we waited for the salads, to our amazement, we saw burgers being served to two other customers. I was confused. So I asked another waiter about the burger question and he stated that they did serve burgers but it was upon request. Well, I did inquire about it, but I guess I was supposed to have a magic word or something. We didn’t bring it up with our waiter nor the hostess as to not be confrontational. I will never go their again and suggest no one go there. We were bamboozled, probably for a higher tip as our bill was higher than it would have been otherwise with the burgers. If you go, be prepared to be bamboozled. I am still appalled…
