This restaurant was amazing!! Our waitress was phenomenal! She brought the perfect vibe to our table. We enjoyed Saturday brunch and enjoyed a little too much of the bottomless margaritas lol. The food was delicious and the drinks were incredible...

Good food & great service. The place is in the historic Santa Fe train station. The building & reconstruction of the restaurant is what Riverside needs . An awesome restaurant.
