Best Cozy Restaurants in Riverside

We haven't gone out on Valentine's Day​ in many years. We had a 5:30 pm reservation and when we pulled up, the parking lot was pretty crowded. We got sat promptly and our server came over right away. Even though it was crowded, we didn't feel neglected or rushed. We started with Caesar salad which was delicious. I ordered stuffed shrimp and hubby got the mix grill. Both were tasty and made well. We skipped dessert as I had made chocolate dipped strawberries. So we had a lovely meal there.

First time, great surprise. Excellent!! perfectly sized small & “not so small” plates were well presented and perfectly prepared and portioned. Top level but reasonable wine list. Service from greeting to table-side were five star. An attractive setting on pleasant small town main street. Will be back and told friends & family. Had sea bass, beet salad, flat bread, surf&turf (a Valentine’s Day special) & cheese cake made by bakery across the street.

It was my first time at Eddie V's. As this was, suggested by a friend. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary. The waiter was attentive and took his time explaining the menu. Had the crab cake as an appetizer and the wagyu steak, as my entree. Both were delicious and cooked perfectly. Dessert was complimentary. Ambiance was perfect and staff was extremely nice. Overall, a great experience and a great time. Definitely, would go back.
