    Waited for 20 minutes and nobody acknowledged us. The only person that noticed us was the bussboy who refilled our glass with water. Horrible service I walked out and walked a half a block to the Chew Chew and our experience was awesome

    Always great food and drinks. It has been a bit warm inside and maybe something can be done about the AC?! I know a table next to us left because it was too warm.

    Overall we had great experience. The grilled calamari in green sauce was very tasty. We also had the orachetti and lasagna, both were perfect. Our server recommended the carrot cake and it was moist and creamy, it was perfect. We'll be back soon. Love that Ceasar, the manager stopped by and welcomed us. Nice touch!

    My first time in Riverside, and I found the charming town enhanced the dining experience. My companions did not wish to eat outside, as I did, which I will go back by myself to experience a pleasant late Summer/early Fall lunch on the patio. Our server, Melania (?), was pleasant, informative and efficient. We went there for the pizza, and I was slightly disappointed in the coarseness of the crust, but otherwise the flavoring was great. I will definitely be a return customer.

    Nice place, but it was very loud with large groups celebrsting and a large seminar going on in the adjacent room. They finally closed the door separating the two rooms. The food was good, but not exceptional. The service was non-existant and very slow. We had to remind the waiter several times for minor things like ice, a cocktail napkin, and water. The waiter was very distracted and not a good listener
