"Everything was wonderful. The food was divine." (December 2007)


"Everyone had a great time. The food and service were wonderful. I've received several phone calls and emails about how much my friends enjoyed the dinner. The hors d'oeuvres were amazing! And the cake was so rich and decadent. Thanks again for your help in making my birthday celebration so special." (November 2007)


"Early on in our courtship, my now-husband took me to The Riverdale Garden for brunch, based on a friend's suggestion, knowing that he wanted to impress me. I remember thinking to myself, "what a perfect place for a wedding." Sure enough, less than two years later, I found myself getting married at the restaurant. Who knew weddings could be so easy?! Miriam was exceedingly patient and helpful as we worked out the food details and seating logistics, Michael made himself available for a tour of the garden when I dropped in with my parents without notice and the day of the wedding went off without a hitch, thanks to the amazing waitstaff. The most oft-repeated compliment I received that day? "This is the BEST wedding food I've ever had!" If you want a beautiful, low-stress, amazing wedding, Moxie Events / The Riverdale Garden is your place." (October 2007)


"Thanks so much. Everyone enjoyed the food and had a good time getting to know one another. Hope we are able to do business with you again. Thanks for all your suggestions." (October 2007)


"I just wanted to say that Moxie Caterers did a wonderful job catering our event. I want to also thank you for all your help and working with our budget. I can really tell you that everyone was very pleased with the food, our compliments to your chef. Thanks once again." (June 2007)


"It was a terrific party. The setting was just right and the food was great. I'd especially like to compliment the servers, who were nothing but cheerful and accommodating. And thank you for all your help. We all enjoyed ourselves, and will have warm memories of the evening for many years to come." (May 2007)


"I can't tell you how much we appreciated your hospitality and the care you put into making our wedding absolutely unforgettable. It is three days later and I'm still getting calls from my family and friends complimenting us on our choice of venue. The ambiance generated from the dining area was fantastic and the food, especially the salmon, was scrumptious and mouth-watering. Even though we held our wedding on the rainiest day of the year our party was oblivious to the weather and had a fantastic time. When I show the photos we took of the occasion to my co-workers, inevitably the conversation turns to the restaurant and how surprised that they haven't heard of it. Well, let me tell you, they do now!! Thank you so much for everything and we will absolutely be back..." (April 2007)


"Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon... The service was attentive and friendly and the food was delicious! Thank you for a great experience and memory...we will definitely be back soon, as will many of my guests!" (April 2007)


"Miriam, our sincerest thanks and appreciation goes to you. Michael and the entire staff for your assistance in making our special day, that much sweeter." (February 2007)


"I want to thank you for being patient with me and for working with me in the preparation of this very successful event. The staff at the restaurant was wonderful and very helpful. The food could not be better.

Everybody had a great time and complimented me on my choice for this location. In the future, I will gladly recommend your restaurant to all my friends and I will visit you again as well. Thank you!" (February 2007)


"Miriam, I just wanted to thank you, Jean and the Chef Michael for making my 35th birthday so special and memorable. It really meant a lot to me. Everything was wonderful and handled beautifully." (January 2007)


The Riverdale Garden has been added to my favorite places. "I just wanted to thank you for helping to make Reid's Bar Mitzvah party so wonderful. Your place was perfect for a group of 30 kids and a D.J. Reid and his friends had a blast! The adjacent room provided a more quiet and inviting space for the adults to eat and talk, but close enough to be a part of the fun in the next room. It all worked so beautifully.

Finally, your food and service were excellent and working with you to figure out all the little details was easy and pleasant. You were so accommodating.

Thank you for making Reid's day such a special one!" (November 2006)


"I just wanted to let you know everyone enjoyed the party on Sunday, November 19th. They all raved about the food and the cake. The Maitre d' was helpful, understanding, and he also had a lot of patience. The waiters were top notch. Thank you so much for making my husbands party go so smoothly." (November 2006)


"I want to thank you for the wonderful party and all your help in its planning. We all felt that the food, the room and the staff were all perfect. It was a great event." (October 2006)


"Thank you Moxie Events/The Riverdale Garden for making our wedding a 12 out of 10!! The five courses food and wine, the service, and the setting were perfect for our group of 120. Your garden is an ideal spot for a small wedding such as ours, and thanks especially for ordering up amazing weather!!" (June 2006)


"Thoroughly enjoyed a beautiful graduation dinner party here for family and friends, mostly out-of-towners. Quiet, lovely setting, great wines, and excellent dishes for every course! Nice choices, too, offered to guests - very accommodating for special tastes and budget. Wonderful, attentive service and overall very friendly treatment. Highly recommend!!"
