    RUDE man who takes orders at the cash register. I complimented the business for saving a beautiful church. He arrogantly replied, "It's not MY church." It was a compliment!.Show some grace. We ordered two breakfasts and waited 45 minutes. Two tables who came in AFTER us were served first. I had to ask about the status of our order. When the server/cook finally brought us our food she just put it on our table and zipped away fast with zero interaction. The food and coffee were delcious but I would only recommend The Riv if you don't mind rude and detached service.
