Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Rider offers a vibrant dining experience with "delicious food" and "outstanding service." The modern setting is perfect for a night out, with standout dishes like the "Waygu burger" and "Parker House rolls." Conveniently located near the Paramount Theater, it's an ideal spot for pre-event meals. However, note the automatic 20% gratuity.

    We had 10:00am reservation, stayed at the hotel, and you never even opened you doors even at 10:10 so we left. Do better. Your Parmesan fries were good in the bar the night before so there’s that.

    It was a very good meal. Waitress was ok. It was a bit warm inside the restaurant and prices were a bit steep. Nice place though.

    Lovely dinner before a show at the Paramount! Great ambiance, friendly host and server, eclectic menu with lots of options for fish or meat lovers, and interesting cocktail/mocktails. We will be back!

    To be fair, it was a busy dinner service before a big show at the nearby Paramount, but staff seemed disinterested for the most part. Slow to seat people waiting at host stations, slow to take orders. Food was great but menu is small and prices are $$$ as posted.

    The service was quite slow, we waited maybe 10 minutes for the server to take our drink order, then a long time for it to get there. There were a couple of highlights on the food, one being some delicious clam/potato/bacon chowder. The caesar salad was good, but it was a whole-leaf preparation, not indicated on the menu. The filet was cooked properly, but about a third of them were outright burned, and the rest had no crisp on them at all. Overall, not a very memorable dining experience.

    Dinner was fantastic. Our server asked if we had any time restrictions, as they were busy and we had a show to get to. She was very straightforward about what could be done in time and what to avoid. We ordered accordingly and everything was top notch. Perfect portion size and we were in and out in less than 40 minutes on a busy Saturday night. We will be back!

    Service takes FOREVER, food is just ok and overpriced. Definitely not a fan of auto gratuity at 20% regardless of party size. Servers lack a sense of urgency because they are getting 20% regardless. I won’t be back.

    If you are going to a show at the Paramount, make sure you are seated 3 hours prior, especially on a Saturday.
