Sara and I arrived at 916 Riverside on a perfect summer evening. The weather was just right, with sunshine and a slight breeze so we decided to sit outside overlooking the water. Our view was fantastic. It was a Thursday night, so 916 Riverside had a band playing at the outdoor stage, near the tiki bar, as part of their Budweiser Thursday Night Series. The music was rocking and we were having a blast! We decided to start our meal with some appetizers. We had to try the potato skins that were loaded with cheese, bacon and green onions and perfectly topped with sour cream! For an entrée I decided to try the seafood platter with fried haddock, giant shrimp and jumbo clam strips. The seafood with fresh and delicious and you could tell it was made to order!
Sara decided to try another one of the mouthwatering specials, the Cajun Potato and Parm Haddock dinner. This dish was a new Cajun twist on a long time favorite and the result was nothing short of extraordinary. We finished listening to the band play as we watched the sun go down on another beautiful day. We decided that this is the perfect place to watch the warm summer day fade into a calm summer night and we would definitely be back soon.
