Editorial Review for Riverside Clubhouse – by Sarah Van Den Bosch
The Scene
Eat, rub shoulders and be part of the in crowd, all in one night. The open patio is an awesome blend of earth, water, fire and air, with a three-tiered fireplace and copper waterfall that covers one wall. Dim lighting softens the harsh lines of exposed metalwork and orange plastic chairs. Plasma TVs around the bar draw locals to watch the big game. Welcoming, knowledgeable staff can be slow at times.
The Food
The mix of cuisines, including California, Mediterranean and American, complement one another with no competition of flavors. Tuna tartare with chili and lime is a refreshing start to the meal. Meat on the barbecue ribs falls off the bone, while the espresso barbecue sauce makes even the most delicate diners lick their fingers. Lobster ravioli are buttery and rich; for lighter fare, try the generous cobb salad. Key lime pie is light, with a smooth texture and a tart bite.

Coming here, I had no idea what to expect. I used to patron the dingy old Herferd House when I was younger, and I was expecting something along those lines. BOY WAS I WRONG! I walked in and was immediatly greeted by the staff. I asked to be on the patio and they totally accomodated me. They food was amazing. I had the Ahi Tuna as a starter and finished by having their salmon. WOW! All I can say is I'll be back.
Pros: Great food, Very nice patio, hip scene
Cons: parking, food is addictive

Call for the fine print on Thursday night appetizers. There are only a few discounted items and only after 9PM. Drinks and food were good. My throat was sore after speaking loudly over dinner in the bar booths, very loud. Firside dining with the waterfall outside looks fun. My g/friend thought the appetizer menu lacked variety. Too much had seafood (rock shrimp, calamari, etc) or was stuff you find everyother place. The house steak speciality served with 4 different things, was good but rather expensive for $25. Sangria was good. Volcano cake was the bomb!
Pros: Drinks, Atmosphere
Cons: Price, Loud, Variety
