Second time here and we've enjoyed it both times. I'm sad they don't have the steak sliders anymore. They were amazing! So I had to try something new and I got the spicy chicken sandwich and it turned out sooo good! I'd love to try more from their menu. We for the chocolate cake desert which was huge! i wish it was a lava cake. Maybe in the future. And am curious about their brunch too. Love this place. Service is great and always attentive. And definitely a classier ambiance for a nice dinner out. read more

We decided to try Dapper Dine & Lounge before a nearby concert, and walking in felt like stepping into a velvet cocktail dream The ambiance here is absolutely stunning. Beautiful decor, upscale vibes, moody lighting, and every corner feels intentionally designed. It's definitely a place that looks like it's about to deliver an incredible dining experience. Unfortunately, the food just didn't match the atmosphere. The crab cakes were decent, about a 6/10. You get two larger cakes, but they were a little bland on their own. The jalapeño aioli carried most of the flavor, but even as someone who loves spice, it leaned overly spicy. The wedge salad was surprisingly disappointing. The lettuce wasn't very crisp, and they added ham on top of the bacon, which felt unnecessary and honestly gave the dish a cheaper feel. We ended up removing the ham altogether. The fish tacos had nicely cooked fish, but again, lacked seasoning. They also came with more jalapeño aioli, and the portions felt awkward. The fish pieces were huge compared to the tiny tortillas, so eating them turned into a full taco explosion situation. The biggest letdown was the chimichurri sea bass. For a $52 entrée, we expected much better. The fish came out completely overcooked and dense like a brick, which was extra disappointing because the chimichurri sauce and mashed potatoes were actually delicious. On the bright side, the drinks were fantastic. Refreshing, flavorful, and probably the highlight of the meal. Service at the bar was also great across the board. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and welcoming throughout the night. This place truly has so much potential because the ambiance and service are already there. We really wanted to love the food as much as we loved the vibe, but unfortunately it just didn't wow us this time around. read more

First Impression: fancy, busy, and loud Location: at the corner of a 4 way intersection. Plenty of parking that is shared with the bank. There is also street parking too Experience: amazing from start to finish! The service was exceptional, even with it being valentines day. I've been back since and received equally good service. We got the cajun shrimp, ribeye, and steak picado. The sauce in the cajun shrimp should be bottled and sold; It was drinkable! The ribeye was cooked perfectly to mid rare and the garlic mashed seasoned well. The Steak picado came in big cubed pics and very flavorful. My favorite was the seasoned veggies on that plate. Note: Get the Cajun Shrimp! IT IS A MUST - you won't be disappointed. read more

Upscale restaurant in Riverside. Parking lot is pretty small but you can park in the spots for the bank once it's closed. Service is great here. Waiters came to check on us multiple times. Recommend the crab cakes as a starter to share. The ambiance is really nice too. Would recommend a reservation if coming on a weekend. Good place for date night! read more

Idk if it's a requirement to be pretty and nice to work here because every one was ! Had a great time here with all of my sisters and mom , the staff was so professional sweet and helpful. Now the food was amazing, we all enjoyed our dishes we ordered a wide variety from steak/ fish/ chicken everything came out hot and fresh. The crudo yellow tail was * chefs kiss* so fresh and buttery. At the end of our meal we all left so satisfied & couldn't wait to comeback with our partners . They checked off all our boxes for yummy food! Great service and great ambiance . read more

One of the best dinners I have ever had. Very pricey what we ordered but worth every penny. It was Monday so hubs got their MONDAY ONLY ribeye. I got the Chilean seabass and it was the best seabass I have ever had in my life. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The crispiness of it was perfection. The purple mashed potatoes were so unbelievably delicious. I'm craving them now too. The outside patio was gorgeous and the weather was perfect. The staff were attentive and happy. The drinks are unique, we got the banana whiskey. OMG. Forgot the other drink but highly recommend this restaurant. I'm definitely going back when I am here next Butter cake melts in your mouth Oh yes the ahi nachos were very yummy, love the uniqueness of adding cucumbers. Had a little kick. The chips were fresh and sooooo good read more

Yum! Everything was well made and flavorful. The drinks are yummy but a bit expensive for being mocktails. My chicken piccata had a hair in it so they remade it (if you zoom in you can see the hair lol). They were super nice and apologized for their mistake. We had a cute table outside in the patio. It was so cute and I loved the green theme! read more

The food selections are plentiful! They were all delicious! The appetizers, OMG, divine! We started with the crab cakes and the pork belly! They each could have been a meal! All of the meals were beautifully presented and we enjoyed them, with the exception of the steak. (Her ribeye was overcooked and we had also seen another table return theirs as well‍) But, The service was very attentive and personable from the time we opened the door. All of the staff was kind and helpful with our questions and with our meal suggestions. The restaurant is very inviting and would be great for a date nite, a special gathering, business meeting or a friend's night out! Plenty of seating. Definitely will go back!! read more

I was impressed with the size and decor. Lunch and brunch menus had many tasty options. Fried foods (chicken and waffles, fish and chips and breakfast potatoes) were overcooked but shrimp fettuccine Alfredo and steaks were ok. Can't split checks. The waiter said they have latte but wouldn't make a vanilla latte. Not too friendly. No Coke products. Bathrooms were nice and clean. Expected better. May be back read more

Not what I expected. And that's a good thing! Attended a dinner function for an association that I'm in. The name "Dapper and Dine" conjures for me old, stuffy, dark with men in Zoot suits scattered about. Wrong! I was pleasantly surprised to enter a space with lots of glass, modern and elegant. Some more private rooms for groups but they still have glass pane walls so you don't feel siloed off from the other parts of the restaurant. The only thing it had in common with my expectation is smooth jazz piping in. The staff was efficient! On point! Like we are on The Polar Express! They handled our group better than any restaurant event I can recall. Afterwards I had dessert at the bar, sans the group experience, and the staff was friendly, and equally efficient. Our group had 2 dinner options. Fettucine Alfredo and Chipolte chicken penne pasta with cream sauce. The fettuccine looked fantastic, big portion too. But I wanted the spicier chipotle. It was very satisfying. Also a large dish, a slight heat, not much. Good flavor with large chunks of chicken. I had to cut them in 1/2 to eat. The pasta was tender with a bit of chew, as it should be. I don't think it's made in house but the dish was very good still. The butter cake was also delicious. Comes with vanilla ice cream and blueberry/raspberry duo. Really nice way to end the night. I also got a slice of chocolate cake to take home to the kids. Haven't seen it or tasted it because I ordered to go. But the server said it's huge compared to the butter cake. And the butter cake was much larger than I expected. 2 people can eat it. I couldn't eat more than 1/2! I really like Dapper and Dine. Gonna have to bring the hubby here for date night. Grown, sexy, AND fresh and modern with good food. read more

Dapper Dine & Lounge - Butter cake - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Riverside, California

Honestly my new favorite place. I've already been here multiple times & it's amazing every single time. My favorite dish at the moment is their blackened chicken with garlic mashed potatoes instead of rice. It is SO good, I'm obsessed with it. I also really enjoyed their pork chop with the garlic mashed potatoes. For dessert, their butter cake is yummy. I liked it more than the chocolate cake I had from a previous visit. As for their drinks, beautiful presentation & they taste great. My cousin custom ordered my raspberry lemon drop and it was bomb. Like it might be my new favorite drink lol. The inside of this place is such a vibe, even more at night. Also love their outdoor seating, the entire restaurant is just so aesthetically pleasing. Just a fabulous new addition to the IE. Service is also always amazing. :) read more

This place used to be Sam's Bann Thai. I think they've created something better and special here. Food was pretty good! Dapper did not have a prix fixe, Valentine's day menu. So I decided to try their steak picado which was medium cooked, beef skirt steak. I was surprised at how good my dish was. I wasn't expecting it to taste great. Even the plain rice was savory and flavorful! Hubby got the New Zealand rack of lamb. The lamb was cooked deliciously! But I could not for the life of me, understand why they served it with mint jelly and this tomato onion compote? Those were weird, especially the mint jelly. Off-putting flavors with the lamb. Classic sides would've worked just fine. The purple garlic mashed potatoes were tasty at least. Crab cakes were okay, same with the corn cake for dessert. The latter did come out piping hot and fresh, definitely reminiscent of sweet corn bread with corn pieces inside and vanilla ice cream on top. But it didn't blow me away. My Georgia peach mocktail was really refreshing & good, but $13 is steep. My hubby's Oaxacan old fashion was good too but they poured a very little amount. Overall, cute dinner spot in Riverside! Service was good. Attentive. Nice, forest green decor, with parisian chairs in the covered patio. To me, prices were high, kind of expensive (I've been spoiled with 21 euros or $22 French flank steak with bearnaise sauce and frites in Paris, France from a year and a half ago). My steak picado, while good, was almost $40. Burgers are around $25.... but I would like to try to come back again for other eats like their tequila shrimp pasta. read more

I was actually surprised by Dapper Dine & Lounge - I wasn't expecting anything great but it's truly a hidden gem in Riverside! Ambiance is nice. Service can use improvement. Came by for dinner on a weekday without a reservation but were seated right away for a party of 4. Service was a little lackluster, our drink order was messed up initially and we needed refills at multiple points throughout dinner & had to flag someone down. I had their Poblano Soup & it was so good! very filling and delicious. I had their cheesecake and was sad that it came out plain. I wasn't asked if I wanted strawberry, chocolate or Carmel on it (like the menu says online) and forgot about it until it came out plain and was disappointed. Regardless, I had a nice dinner experience here and would be willing to give them another chance. read more

Came here for breakfast on Sunday. The restaurant is bright, clean and has a cozy modern feel. Our server was super helpful and gave us lots of recommendations.

Returned for a third visit and had Bernice as the waitress. She was very friendly and helpful while being the only one tending to diners. We ordered the Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich and Jambalaya Pasta with Mushrooms. The sandwich was great, but not my favorite menu item. The Jambalaya was once again rich & satisfying. read more

Dapper Dine & Lounge has great ambiance, the servers are friendly and we have really enjoyed everything we have ordered so far in the two visits we have made. Food orders come out in great time. The Poké Nachos have been our favorite! The drinks are also great and we loved that they use fresh juices. The servers do come around the tables very often and remove empty plates and glassware but I would recommend for the servers to first confirm if a guest is finished with their glass or plate as sometimes you may still have one last sip in your drink. read more

The experience was fun. I celebrated my friends birthday. We ordered: prosecco: fine experience, nothing special to note. Sea bass with sauce. It was good but I had higher expectations. 4/5. Jambalaya very flavorful but too spicy. 4/5. Steak with mushroom. The steak is precut for you. 4/5. To be honest, I thought the appetizer met expectation. The sweet potato fries and the ahi nachos. I expected more especially for the price of the food. The place itself was very nice. Brought out the gentleman manners out from the men. I would come back again. read more

Beautiful ambiance! The place is great for a nice date or family dinner. The food was good. We had a burger, a steak sandwich, delicious crab cakes and a poblano soup.

The food, service, and ambiance at this place are simply unmatched! I highly recommend it as my new favorite spot for dinner.

We visited on a busy Monday night and were glad we had an OpenTable reservation, it saved us from a long wait. Parking can be tricky since the lot is shared with the bank next door, and even that was full, so we ended up street parking. The interior is tastefully modern and upscale, with TVs displaying cityscapes and soft background music that complements the atmosphere perfectly. The layout is well-organized, and the service was excellent. Our server and the manager, Angel, checked in on us throughout the meal. We started with the Poke Nachos, which came in a huge portion, almost too much for three people! Drinks were well-made, and our meals arrived quickly. My fiancée loved the Linguine Pescatore (enough for leftovers), my son thoroughly enjoyed his 8-ounce filet, and I tried the Steak Picado, a sweet chili sauce over tender flat iron-steak chunks that was absolutely stunning in flavor. To finish, we had the butter cake, which was phenomenal. Overall, this is an exceptional, upscale spot and a welcome change from the typical Riverside restaurant. We will definitely be returning. read more

If I could give a zero I would. My two sisters and I, all Black women, walked out of this establishment shortly after being seated. We had reservations, yet upon arrival we were directed to the outdoor patio area located in the back of the restaurant, near the water station. As we walked through the restaurant to reach that section, we noticed that every Black guest appeared to be seated in the back outdoor area, while guests of other races were seated inside the main dining room. We were never given the option of indoor or outdoor seating. When we requested an indoor table, we were told they could not accommodate us because the restaurant was fully booked, despite our reservation. We were offered the option to wait, but staff could not provide an estimated wait time. Whether intentional or not, the seating arrangement left us feeling uncomfortable, singled out, and unwelcome. The experience gave the impression that Black patrons were being treated differently, and that is deeply troubling. First impressions matter, and unfortunately this experience ensured that we will not be returning. read more

Finally made It! My man said, "we are a special occasion, why wait to try it?" We truly enjoyed ourselves. Checked In without a reservation, no problem sat at the bar and ordered a drink while we waited. Our drinks arrived at the same time our table was ready and our tab followed us flawlessly. Our server explained the menu leaving only the question for our order, she was detailed and on point. Our choices were made to order and absolutely Dapper! The ambience, food and services flowed with the smooth Jazz playing. Needless to say, we will be back and the city of Riverside finally gave us a gem. read more

Made a reservation for a party of 7 at 5:30 wasn't seated til over half an hour later. Wasn't given any updates unless I checked in and asked. I even had to ask if it was ok to sit inside since it was chilly and having to stand for over 30 minutes is never fun Our server was over all attentive although when I ordered my fries as an appetizer I didn't get them til I got my course meal which happened to be a wedge salad. Wedge salad was delicious, generous portion. My drinks were also good The music I wanted to fall asleep. It wasn't Christmas music it was lullabies and that made me feel very tired and ready for bed before it was even 8pm read more

First off, whoever the blonde hostess is..keep her in the back where she can't be seen because she's entirely rude. When you walk into any establishment, especially a restaurant, you are typically greeted. Or am I missing something? Don't stare at them like a deer in a headlight and not say anything. You are literally a hostess! Uggh. Anyways, our waitress was super kind. It took a while for our order to be taken, but I was okay with that due to how friendly our waitress was. The food was spectacular! The crab cakes were extremely fresh and the aioli sauce had the right amount of spice. The steak picado was beyond tender and was seasoned to perfection. Last but not least, the jambalaya pasta...LOVED it. Very flavorful and a perfect hint of spice. I loved the vibe of the place, it definitely gave fancy read more

Another great experience, I must admit, the frequency of my Dapper visits is uncommon. In the last 3 months, this is my 3rd visit. That says everything, each visit I try something different, and each time I leave feeling 100% satisfied! 1st visit - Skirt Steak and Mushrooms / OMG!! YUMMY 2nd Visit - Pork Chop / DEEEEELICIOUS! It was hard not to order this plate again 3rd Visit - Filet Mignon (8oz) w Loaded Baked Potato / GET OUT OF TOWN, it was Juicy and well-seasoned The service was good; the staff are always helpful and full of energy! Oh yeah, almost forgot, they make a mean Old Fashion! This place has become my Go-To spot. read more

Ample easy parking. - which is a great thing in this area of Riverside! The music is smooth jazz and the vibe looks like that too. Aesthetic space. This is high end and bougie. This is Champagne buckets and cuff links. This is tie and jacket culture. This is meant for those who have an experience accounts. I got fettuccine Alfredo $18. It came with half a piece of garlic toast. The pasta was cooked perfectly! It needed salt and pepper. The cream was delicious. The salt and pepper are ground very fine. That's a thoughtful detail. I wish long pasta were served with spoon. The 2 TV's are showing richly colored landscapes. Full bar. Open kitchen. I am not their intended audience. read more

I'd give this place more stars, but only for their food. I can't bring myself to give them any more because the service was mediocre. At first, everything started out fine. A couple of us met up with a friend to celebrate her birthday and we were excited cause it was our first time at Dapper. The experience quickly went downhill when the waitress Sheree didn't check on our table often. My friends were able to order a round of shots before our food arrived, I did not partake since I am pregnant, and ordered one more after they were done eating. We were missing 2 shots and tried to find our waitress but couldn't seem to track her down. We asked another staff member passing by in which she said she would let Sheree know. 10 min later and still nothing. When we finally had her back at the table she let us know she thought the shots ordered were for the same people and said management was trying to slow down our table and pace everyone. (There was only 1 shot consumed at that moment) and proceeded to ask the 2 left out if they wanted a single or a double shot. In what world does it make sense to say you're slowing down our table and offer a double shot? Really started to make sense when we seen gratuity was included in our party of 6, but it was not vocalized to us, nor is it anywhere printed on their menu!! After all of this we still ordered dessert and asked for the check. Which we waited for until almost closing and had to ask a busser to again ask our waitress for our check. I really want to give this place another try but maybe someone else would get better service from a different server. read more
