Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Riverside

Had a great lunch and a glass of wine with my wife. The Quiche Lorain was delicious with enough to take home. The mushroom soup was a large serving and very good. I had the chicken curry sandwich which was also delicious. Also I recommend the deviled eggs. It was very festive with the decorations and holiday shoppers. The staff was very attentive and pleasant especially our waitress Danielle and a young man that chatted with us for a bit who may have been the wine steward. We have been here several times and will continue to go back.

My colleague and I stopped into El Vez for dinner last night and the food, service and overall experience exceeded our expectations. We followed the waiter's recommendations for the roasted garlic guacomole, short rib tacos, open-faced shrimp quesadilla and pomegranate margaritas. All were to perfection! Just wish I lived locally so I could go again!

Wonderful Sunday Brunch experience. They have fantastic cocktails. Enjoyed a spicy Bloody Mary or two. You have to order your complete meal at once which was odd, but there is a reason for this to discourage dawdlers and table squatters. I get it.. Our meal was paced perfectly and we did not feel rushed. The Salads and starters were freshly prepared and delicious. We enjoyed the royal benedict and local breakfast which were so delicious and tasty. Overall made for a really enjoyable brunch. The service was excellent with a nice balance of attentiveness. Ended with doughnuts and coffee which were savory and delicious. An deliciously indulgent experience left us comfortably satiated for a one meal only day but well worth it.
