Just go! The views, the food, the service is all amazing!! We had a party of 10 on Sunday for lunch and we all loved our food! We went without reservations and waited about 45 minutes which was a perfect amount of time to enjoy the view. Our waitress, Laura, was the best! She had perfect recommendations and made out visit memorable with her friendly, quick service. We will definitely be back for all our family celebrations!!
My husband and I, along with another couple, chose Riverdance to celebrate both of our birthdays, and it could not have been a more wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the beautiful atmosphere, breathtaking views, and welcoming staff.
The food was absolutely outstanding. I ordered the glazed salmon, and it was cooked perfectly, tender, flavorful, and one of the best salmon dishes I've had in a long time. Every bite was delicious and beautifully presented.
What truly made the evening special was the exceptional service. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the entire meal. We also had the pleasure of meeting Teresa, the manager, who went above and beyond to ensure our celebration was memorable. Her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel like honored guests rather than just another table.
Between the amazing food, stunning views, and outstanding service from both our waitress and Teresa, this was a birthday celebration we'll always remember. Our entire group had a fantastic evening, and Riverdance made the occasion feel truly special.
Thank you, Riverdance, for helping make our birthdays so memorable. We can't wait to return!

First off: amazing view. You can look down the Tennesse river and the amazing mountain ranges of the area.
This restaurant is a wonderful site in itself. Southern charm, beautiful architecture and decor.
The menu includes delicious food for all tastes, as well as their own brewery's beers to choose from.
Teresa, the manager, and the staff will make you feel right at home!

My wife and I visited Riverdance for the first time to celebrate our anniversary, and it was a truly wonderful experience! As outdoor lovers who appreciate a great view, we thought this place delivered on every level.
The atmosphere is incredibly friendly, the service is top-notch, and the views are beautiful. For dinner, my wife ordered the Portobello and Beet Filet, and I had the grouper dish (honestly, it was one of the best grouper dishes I have ever had). Every plate was elegantly prepared, beautifully presented, and packed with unique, memorable flavors.
Beyond the food, the design and decor of the restaurant are very special. What really set the evening apart, though, was how incredibly relaxing the property felt. People were just unwinding, walking around, and taking in the scenery, while a few kids were happily throwing a football over by the wedding venue tent. It felt so peaceful and unpretentious. I truly hope they preserve this exact elegant, but laid-back vibe in the future and don't change a thing.
I’ve already recommended Riverdance to a few friends, and we cannot wait to go back.

Very nice dining experience, after we waited for a table that was not by the kitchen. Food is excellent along with our service from Cassandra. The menu choices are wide from pizza to $110+ steaks. We had a combination of plates from broiled oysters and shrimp, to lobster Mac and cheese and Seared chicken. We even shared a delicious banana cream pie desert. They were out of the grouper dish I wanted. Everything thing is fresh and created on site. The even brew their own bear on site. Views of the mountains and river are excellent.
