    i went there for lunch the other day, and it was terrific! I had a fantastic crabcake sandwich on a roll that was made for the crabcake. Crabcake lovers know what i mean.

    There were very few diners there, which surprised me, considering how fabulous this place is.

    Amazing Sunday morning breakfast buffet! Except no pancakes, that was a little disappointing. All the other options more than made up for that though!

    We were there for V-day and man, we didnt regret it even for a moment. The martini I ordered(pomogranate+lime+vodka) for was to die for (I repeated, ofcourse).
    We started off with raw oyster platter which was fresh and had a nice sea-salty flavour to it. Next we had roasted oysters. The “rockerfeller” roasted oysters were full of flavourful juices, the one with Bacon wasnt all that great. I would probably stay away from topped roasted oysters as you can hardly taste the oyster!
    We loved the pan-fried oyster that came in next. The champagne flavour of the sauce was exquisite~ the oyster fried to perfection.
    Not to move away from tapas, we had the chipotle hammus, which ..hmmmm wasnt good at all! ive definately had better hammus.
    Needless to say, we skipped the dessert :-)
    I would definately go there again, and would highly recommend it!

    Stopped in last week for lunch and was seated next to an office group of fourteen. This could have been the Kiss of Death but our service was great and so was theirs. Everyone pitched in to help, including the manager, and we got our food promptly and the group of fourteen all got their entrees withing a minute of each other. All seemed to be getting different items but that didn’t seem to cause any problems. If anyone is looking for a place to take a large group I would highly recommend The Riverstone. The crab chowder, oysters and pork tapas were all great. Nice experience.

    Riverstone is consistently good. Oysters are fresh and cold. Tapas are very good, although I was a disappointed that they ran out of sashimi last night. The French Onion Soup is only second to the old 10 Downing Street. It is worth a trip just for the soup. Our waitress was good, but overly eager; she removed one plate before we were done (we were still using the dipping sauce). Definitely worth trying.

    The Riverstone Café?
    I have lived in this area for most of my life. I have seen great restaurants come and go.
    Last night on a whim I and a friend went to what I am now telling everyone is: THE BEST RESTAURANT IN EXTON AND WEST CHESTER .If you have not had the chance to eat and drink at this food lovers dream you are missing out.
    The Riverstone Cafe captures what a restaurant should be enjoyable at all angles. The Riverstone is, Comfortable and affordable with a great ambiance. There wait staff is spot on.
    Our culinary experience was nothing short of orgasmic. Everything we tasted was perfect and presented with a Zen like touch. Tapas in Exton .Try 43 different Tapas (appetizers). Your damb straight right in the heart of Exton, don’t kid your self, there menu encompasses cuisine from all over the world. Smaller portions with bold flavors + price great = a great restaurant.
    The oysters, how can I forget there oysters? . Some other eateries in the area should check out the Riverstone Cafe. To there Chef, kudos my dear you should be proud of yourself, your food stands out in a crowd. Enough said

    My girlfriends and I love the Riverstone. We always order their martini’s and a few tapas to share. A diferent experience than anything in the area. Relaxed and fun is what we experence every time we go.

    I never realized this placed existed!! I go to their neighbor the Winner’s Circle all the time with my friends and now I bring my girlfriend to the Riverstone for a romantic night out.

    Unbelievable Spot in the heart of Exton. No need to drive to Philly or West chester for a incredible atmosphere and spectacular food. Applause to the Chef!!

    I agree–the tapas are great.
    The Sunday brunch buffet is also great and well worth the money.

  11. Anne – Aug 14, 2007

    If you are dining with folks that don’t want tapas, you can order off of Winner’s Circle menu as well!

    Tapas, tapas, tapas… Could there be a more perfect meal? A little bit o’ this, a little bit o’ that. Hummus plate, pizzas, scallops, mmmmm….

Review Guidelines
Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.

Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.

We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.

Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.

Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.

Be Concise. 'Nuf said.

What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.

Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.

Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.

Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.

If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.

Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.

We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
