Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Riverside

Food was great as usual. Shared the pate, which was very good. Plenty of pate, grilled whole grain bread, variety of fruits, pickled red onion, pickled green onion slices(first time having this-it was slightly sweet & tasty), & jam. For my entree,I ordered my usual Gorgonzola & Granny Smith apple with grilled chicken. MUCH better than my last visit. My only complaint last visit was the lone thin slice of apple. That’s correct. ONE slice of apple. Perhaps the kitchen supervisor was new(?). Anyway, the salad was great. My friend had the rare grilled tuna sandwich. VERY good. My last visit, my MIL had the same & was also very pleased with her choice. We will continue to be regular patrons. The food & service are great. The brief tour of the garden/nursery is a nice distraction from LA traffic & the hustle of city life.

The food at Great Maple is always presented beautifully and always tastes delicious. Today was unusually crowded. The noise level was high and the service was a bit slower than usual. If you dine here, ask to sit with Arianna. We were not in her section today.

We ordered the Chicken Fettuccine, wings, fries, street tacos and captain crunch cake dessert. Everything was tasty except the tortilla on the tacos; they were cold and hard, I was expecting a soft taco.

My husband and I had Christmas dinner at Las Campanas. The atmosphere was beautiful and the heat lamps kept us comfortable throughout the cold evening. Food was delicious and we especially enjoyed the Christmas Carolers who came by singing at our table. Such a nice touch!!!

Our experience at the Mission Inn restaurant last night was fantastic!! My husband and I took our kids, moms & siblings for dinner and it was perfect!!! It was a huge relief because we took 16 of our friends to Las Campanas at the beginning of December and the experience was a HUGE disappointment.
