Every time I drive past the Riverview, the parking lot is empty. Even during peak weekend dinner times. What's the deal with that? I've been in there once and I don't see how you can get a view of the river from the "Riverview". Just views of the big nice trees and the other side. To actually see the water I think you'll need to visit Tad's. Sure, they are expensive but so are most of the other privately owned restaurants along the Sandy. The food was decent, but it kind of seemed like they were trying too hard. The interior is beautiful. But I never went back because it's just really snooty. It's like they only want to cater to pearl district type yuppies and don't care if they get any business from the locals in Springdale,Troutdale, and Gresham???
