    Shrimp creole

    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
    Tamara R.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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.
