    We went to Riverside Kitchen & Bar to celebrate my birthday. We made reservations on OpenTable and had no issues. We went for brunch and the food was great. My husband and son got the biscuits and gravy. They liked it but it wasn’t their favorite. I got the breakfast burrito and could only eat half. They gave me a free dessert for my birthday and I enjoyed the homemade tiramisu. My husband got the brownie a la mode and my son got the chocolate torte. We may go back just for dessert. The service was great and we can’t wait to go back.

    Brunch is our favorite at Riverside. Twelve of us meet there every Sunday for brunch. Great neighborhood vibe. Omelette station is the best.

    The singing duo Butter was performing and they were FANTASTIC. The combination of a good cocktail, great food (wild mushroom ravioli), great service (Grace) and good music made for a very nice evening out.
