Loved the food and cocktails. Lobster Mac'nCheese is a must try. Will definitely go back for the beach view and food.

Great Atmosphere, live music, delicious food and drinks.. Beautiful ocean views.. Great and fast service..Totally recommend.

What a great place to chillax. Atmosphere and drinks were great. Will be back hopefully this year.

Riley’s is a great place to dine, consistently outstanding in food, service, drinks & ambiance. We’ve been there about twenty times over the past seven or eight years. All menu items are carefully & deliciously prepared. Cocktails are delightful. If you can get a table outside, you’ll love it, as you’ll be just 25 or 30 yards from the beach. It can be family friendly, great for informal business gatherings, romantic—all in a relaxed & open atmosphere.

Great ambiance, great food, great drinks

The wait staff were super nice and welcoming. The food was just okay for the price (stale chips were served instead of wontons as listed on menu) and my drink was a bit watery. Tabasco given to us expired in 2019 I’d come back for a beer and fries at sunset though.

Place across the way was packed so walked over to Rileys. Nice place , I like how they set up the small bar so you can look out to the water. The clam chowder was disappointing could not find a piece of clam. The escargot appetizer was bland and tasteless. The crab melt was very good and filling. The drinks were great, much better than the place next door. The gentleman bartender ( i forgot his name) made delicious drinks and was very pleasant to talk with. The entrees selection looked good but we did not order any

Food was great and came out quick. Wasn’t busy at the time due to the rain. Would suggest next time the server let us know about the specials like her colleague did with the other dinner party. Our server did not refill our drinks at all. Kind of a missed profit opportunity as we would of been interested in ordering more. Service could have been better on a slow rainy day. Interested to see what the place will be like in the summer months and will make a final opinion then.

The only thing better than the view is the food, absolutely delicious. Service is top notch as well, which is hit or miss at most restaurants these days unfortunately. Not here though, very attentive staff but not over bearing, just right. We had some apps which were great, and my fish and chips were delicious. My friend had a burger which looked delicious and it was. Did I mention the view?? It's right on the water in Stratford so the sunsets are fantastic. Go check this place out, it won't disappoint.

They out did the holiday decorations from last year. Love the sesame crusted Ahi Tuna & Lobster Mac & Cheese
