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

Had a wonderful dinner with the family! Everyone loved this place! The food was good ! Our server was very nice! The place is great for dinner with low lighting so you feel comfortable!

Butter cake

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.

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. :)

Went here recently to ask for my groomsmen. The staff were so nice and accommodating. They let my fiancée and I in a few minutes early to set up my boxes. The food was amazing. Everything came out in a timely manner. The drinks were also really good, I had their old fashioned with Jameson. It was perfect.

What a cute spot! My girl and I came here for my first night of dinner here in Riverside. It was definitely a good call. Service was spot on and very attentive. We enjoyed the poke nachos which were good. The star of the show was the chimmichurri sea bass over a bed of purple mashed potatoes. So good!

Corn cake

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.

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. We decided on the chicken/gravy, french toast, waffle and cheeseburger. Everything was delicious...we all cleaned our plates! Can't wait to come back when out this way again.

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.

Jambalaya Pasta
Meli M.

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.

Jambalaya
Julie H.

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.

Fettuccine Alfredo
Tracy S.

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.

Berry cocktails
Maridy M.

Beautiful place! The decor is amazing, service was tiptop, our waiter was super nice and the food was absolutely delicious! My friend and I got the Chicken Piccata, Cajun Shrimp, sautéed veggies, and sweet potato fries!! Everything tasted fantastic, very flavorful and seasoned well. Our cocktails were delicious. I totally forgot the name but our waiter recommended this cocktail. It was berry flavored with tequila as the liquor. We are already planning another girls dinner at Dapper!!

What a gem of a place! You wouldn't expect a well decorated interior from the outside streets, but…read moreupon walking in, you'd be pleasantly surprised. The ambiance is well created with the dim lights, lit bar, and sounds of ice being shaken. My fiancé and I were seated right at the middle of the bar upon opening, and our bartender named Chris (?) was extremely welcoming with a sense of humor. He gave us an ample of amount of time to review the menus. We first got an IPA and the Love me Knot. For food, we ordered some Cajun fries and the party wings with red chimichurri sauce. The wings were fantastic! The fries were very crunchy, and I wish they were a tad bit softer. For our next round of drinks, we got the Old Fashioned and the Bee's Knees. The drinks were right on par. We left after a few hours and found ourselves quite satisfied. It was a fun experience and the monthly change of words above the liquor wall is always a conversation starter. Needless to say, we'll be back!

I'm not even a big doughnut person and I can say they are really good. Better than any run of the mill yum yums or krispy kreme. There aren't many mom & pop stores like this in riverside and it's great to see places like this opening and staying in business like this for over 6 years now. I personally love their coffee!

Maybe I caught them on an off morning, but for now, it's a 2-star experience for some overpriced donuts

The sun was shining on my face. I don't know who came over to our table to recommend a tequila for our flight. Dame Mas was a very good choice. My wife is more of a tequila drinker than I am. I did hog up the Dame Mas to myself. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere for a relaxing dinner. I recommend ordering the bacon-wrapped shrimp stuffed with crab meat; it's the best.

The owner, Santiago, allowed us to come a half hour beforehand to decorate & we came in, not knowing what to expect. Upon our arrival, the birthday cake was promptly whisked away to the kitchen, we found Santiago PERSONALLY on his hands & knees fixing the electrical cords for us, our servers introduced themselves & graciously helped us rearrange the set-up to accommodate the band we brought in. Then helped us rearrange the layout yet again once we realized the band needed to be next to the electrical outlets. I was embarrassed to even ask so I started doing it myself but they jumped right in without being asked. If I'm being honest, usually I'm not a fan of buffet meals, so I wasn't expecting much. But everything served was SO delicious! The fajitas were my favorite dish, not only flavorful but also nice & moist. Not only that, but they refilled the food for us as it ran out. They brought out to-go boxes for the leftovers, & best believe my family took home every last bite! The lime margarita tower was SO yummy but also hella dangerous because it was strong!! Other restaurants will give you watered down drinks but El Patron doesn't play. We were only planning on one but it was so good, we couldn't resist getting another. From start to finish, the servers (Leslie and Cecilia) were on POINT. Their service went above & beyond expectations-- continuously checking on us, refilling drinks/food, taking photos, etc. Not only that, but also, when my young autistic nephew unfortunately got sick, they were so incredibly compassionate about it & helped clean up the mess right away. I was absolutely blown away by the attention to detail & quality of care. As my grandma is getting older, we are especially cherishing these final years with her. We spent thousands overall (venue, music, photographer, special mass, etc) but every last cent was worth seeing her happy with all of her loved ones. After many months of planning, I was super nervous about something going wrong but I can honestly say that core memories were made. Thank you to Santiago, Leslie & Cecilia for your hospitality, good food & work ethic-- it truly meant so much for our family unit.
