Best Restaurants for Creative Cuisine in Riverside

Hoja Santa was an incredible dining experience. There were 3 of us on a Saturday evening and the restaurant had good energy. Lots of fun. Our waiter, David was wonderful and so was the rest of the staff. The food was explosive. Everyone really enjoyed their food - super delicious. I had the chicken thighs which were so good - perfect seasoning. Very attentive service. Overall an A++++.

Their salmon is really good along with delicious sides, the prime rib dip was really good as well We enjoy the 1/2 bottle of wine on Friday nights We love sitting in their all seasons room Definitely one of our favorite restaurants!

We have never gone out for dinner on Christmas Day, but this year we were a small group of four, so we decided not to cook and made reservations at Devon’s. Boy, are we glad we did! Their Christmas Prix Fixe menu was wonderful with many great choices. As a table, we had lobster bisque, gumbo, lamb, scallops, sea bass, lamb and filet. All were stunning! It was very busy but service was spot-on, thanks to server extraordinaire, Janet! She really made our evening special and gave great recommendations. Cost for such fine food was really a great value as well. We are definitely going back!

Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the Greek wine list and recommended special items on the food menu. We assumed she was Greek, but when she heard my husband and our friend speaking German, she spoke Deutsch, and we learned that she is half German American and Italian American. It was an amazing meal and a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays with our friends.
