   The atmosphere and decor was very nice, the service was on point. The staff was very tentative, the food was good. We had a Truffle burger, side salad with the lemon vinaigrette and brussel sprouts which were so delicious, we also ordered the spicy chicken sandwich and onion rings but did really care for those. The onion rings were to crispy almost hard and the chicken sandwich was really tangy didn’t care for it. But besides that we would definitely go back and 100% recommend.

   Today was a birthday lunch for my friend. I had the STATE burger, which was amazing and she had the shrimp tacos. We were both pleased with our meals. The service was absolutely fabulous. My first visit there WAS POOR! They didn’t bring my food. They brought wrong food to other people; it was not a place I wanted to return to. My friend wanted to go. She had never been and I was pleasantly surprised. Rigoberto B. was our server; he was wonderful.  I prefer the daytime more than the night because it is very very loud at night.  One thing I would suggest having been in the restaurant business for 40 years whenever you’re going to add an extra charge let the person know. Even for extra pickles it’s not expected that you would be charged $.50.  obviously that’s not a huge price, but it’s the fact that people are adding things now without letting customers know. Again, a wonderful experience a day will definitely be back for lunch

   We’ve been wanting to visit this location for some time.. we love the Redlands and the Rancho location, planning on going to Monrovia soon, the staff here were so friendly, drinks were great (good pours) almost like they knew us, The food is amazing! We’re so happy that we now have another cool, familiar place to have a great evening in DTR.. 10 out of 10! Monrovia location soon

   Waited over an hour for our food. Party of 7. One persons order came out 30 minutes after every else. One person requested no dressing on her hamburger. It was loaded. Was told she would have to wait 15-30 minutes for another. She scraped dressing off. My hamburger had delicious blueberry dressing but not enough. I thought we would be compensated in some way. Nope. But the food was delicious and we will be back!!!

   1st time being at the restaurant. The food was amazing. But the service and time waiting for our drinks or to get service was horrible. We were a large group celebrating a birthday. It took 15 minutes to get our drinks and kept asking waitor for them.

    Service was horrible, drink service was horrible, servers were no where to be found . It was the most bizarre encounter. I really don’t know if I will go back!! And than you charged $1 dollar for a Serrano chili in a spicy margarita!! That was not needed!!! Your servers are poorly trained!! We had to raise our hand to get any kind of attention. We asked 4 different Employees for ketchup!! And mind you we can pay for the extra 1 dollar but it’s the point that it should have been noted it was an extra charge!! Do you charge for olives in your martinis??? I wish you all luck because I am a long time Riverside resident but I don’t want to go back!!
