Food I always visit a place 2-3 times before I review, and the food here is A1 every time. Everything I've ordered has been delicious, beautifully presented, and totally upscale. I'm 90% vegan, but when I'm at a nice, trendy spot like this, I switch to vegetarian/pescatarian -- and every dish has been so good. You honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And as a dessert girlie... the chocolate cake with their house-made raspberry sauce, ice cream, and extra chocolate is insane. Every bite is mouth-watering and absolutely delightful. Drinks My waiter was so sweet -- she made me an off-menu pumpkin spice cappuccino, and it tasted like a high-end Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks. The Bloody Mary was to die for: fresh, perfectly spiced, and served with plenty of olives. On previous visits, we tried the strawberry lemonade, the holiday pumpkin martini, and even the Hennessy VSOP -- which they serve in such a clean, masculine way it makes any man look interesting, lol. Atmosphere The vibe is trendy, cool, and spacious. The décor is modern, the bar area is stylish, and the whole place stays super clean. Perfect for a night out or a cute dinner moment. Service Service here is A1. They always accommodate me, and the staff is professional, friendly, and effortless. They clear plates before they pile up -- which I love. Everyone looks sharp in clean uniforms, and the manager walks around checking on every table, which is such a sweet touch. Price Definitely worth every $$$. The vibe is upscale, the food is top-tier, and the whole experience feels way more luxurious than the price point read more

Dapper Dine & Lounge - Lemon drop martini ! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Riverside, California

FINALLY A GOOD NEW SPOT IN THE IE !!!I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! So I came her for a lunch with the girls and I loved everything about this place. I am so happy to have a good food spot in the IE. So tired of the basic stuff we have out here. And I mean all around 360 good: good atmosphere, good food, prices were good , drinks was on point and the service was amazing too. Shout out to Valeria !!!!!! Appetizers We ordered the crab cakes and the Cajun shrimp for the table. Both very tasty, the sauce for the shrimp was super flavorful and I love that you can sop it up with the pita bread. The crab cakes were yummy also. I liked the way they give you 2 crab cakes. I hate these fake ass fancy restaurants that only give you one. Main courses Oh we ordered a bunch of stuff. The ahi tuna salad was good I loved the dressing and tuna was fresh. My fiends also loved their entrees they said the hanger steak was tasty with the mushrooms. The jambalaya pasta and seafood linguine was delicious. Another friend raved about the steak with the purple mash super tasty. And the tacos also got an honorable mention as well. Dessert!!!! Ok this butter cake is giving Maestros and Ocean Prime a run for their money. Honestly it killed both of their butter cakes off RIP to their butter cakes for real. They are new top butter cake for me, hands down. The drinks were good ordered so many I don't remember it was a blackberry drink , lemon drop, Cadillac martini with the Grand Marnier on the side. The bartender did his/her thing too. I have to say I'm so glad to have Dapper Dine in the IE: I am so sick of having to go to LA or the OC for some good food that's not a chain restaurant. Prices were good also: nothing too over the top. Good date night idea also. I am already planning to go back there soon. The place is spacious and beautiful on the inside. I'm going to reach out to have my daughters who's graduating college a lunch or dinner there. When i say go here I mean it. You will absolutely not be disappointed. As an IE resident I'm happy to have Dapper Dine holding it down for the IE. read more

My daughter and I met there for lunch. From the outside, I wouldn't have looked twice but when I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised. The place is beautiful. We started with drinks and I ordered the Orange Blossom. Our server was kind enough to ask what our liquor of choice was and described drinks that fit our likes. The orange blossom is truly the type of drink I like. For lunch, I ordered the Linguine Pescatore. What was good about that, is the pasta was buttery and lemony. The portion side was big so the price was perfect! For dessert, we ordered the butter cake with fresh fruits and it didn't disappoint. One of the best butter cakes I've had. I went to the restroom and the ambiance was also nice. I will come back because service, drinks, food and dessert was amazing! read more

This upscale lunch spot has beautiful outdoor and indoor dining. Parking is shared with a bank and very limited. We celebrated my birthday lunch here. The food was very good. I recommend the poke nachos to start. The service was decent. I was a little disappointed our server didn't offer anything for my birthday to help celebrate it. Overall, it was a nice place. read more

We've been there several times and it never disappoints, great vibe, very nice and great service. Food is delicious and the staff is great

For starters, the decor is beautifully done. As soon as I stepped inside, I thought "this reminds me of restaurants in LA!" There is a small Bartop, low sitting tables and chairs as well as a large outdoor patio. Service was friendly and fast. Our waitress made several suggestions and was attentive. Lastly, the food ; WOW. My favorite item was the Cajun shrimp appetizer - the sauce is DELICIOUS! I also had the rack of lamp with purple mash and butter cake ! Don't skip the cocktails here - they are delicious and you'll want one with your entree !! I'll definitely be back ! read more

Went to dinner with friends at Dapper and we had such a great experience! The restaurant itself is a great size - lots of tables, booths and seating at the bar. Decor is a VIBE! The service was amazing - they gave us some awesome suggestions when it came to ordering our entrees & did not disappoint. They also checked on us several times throughout our meal, made sure our drinks were never empty and that everything tasted great. And the food, ugh the food! *chefs kiss* Delicious, so so so good. Literally everything from our appetizers to desserts were perfection. For starters, we chose crab cakes & Cajun shrimp. Both were really good, but the Cajun shrimp was THE show stopped. The spice, the sauce, the flatbread. Again, *chefs kiss* I ordered the mushroom steak and it was amazing. Perfectly seasoned, lots and lots of mushrooms with the smoked blue cheese Demi-glacé on top was just the cherry on top. Had a bite of everyone else's plates and they were all equally delicious! For desserts, I had to have the butter cake and again, it did not disappoint. Warm, buttery, creamy cake with ice cream & berries was the perfect way to end our meal. Looking forward to coming back to the Dapper again soon, looking forward to the Cajun shrimp & a spicy marg! read more

Dapper Dine & Lounge - Wild Mushroom Hangar Steak - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Riverside, California

My only regret is not dining here soon enough! Definitely what downtown Riverside needed, ;an upscale steakhouse perfect for a night out. Great vibe, upscale without being overwhelming or uninviting. Perfect spot for date nights, special occasions or just getting out midweek for a nice dinner. The staff is very upbeat and helpful while providing excellent service and suggestions for first timers. Appetizer and entrees are all first rate! Great quality steaks, sides big enough for two and desserts worth saving room for. This isn't a one time stop, I will definitely be back for prime rib Mondays and future date nights! read more

This place is a hidden gem!! The ambiance food and service is great every time!! It had not disappointed!!

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

I expected the food to be good based on the reviews and it did not disappoint. Everything I had was excellent if a bit overpriced. Service was impeccable on a busy Friday night. The only thing I didn't like is that rather than offering a fine dining setting, the ambiance is more like a bar. It was super loud and that was true even in the outdoor seating area. The poke nachos appetizer was good and big. Honestly enough for an entree if you're not too hungry. The Chilean Sea bass was very tasty but also very expensive. Chocolate cake was huge but the butter cake was the clear winner. Apple pie was just ok. read more

Dapper Dine & Lounge - Lobster pasta and steak with mushrooms - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Riverside, California

We had dinner reservations at 5:45 pm on Saturday, upon arrival they said it would be a 10-15 min wait. So definitely room for improvement, then they tried to seat us on a table for two by high traffic doorway. They did move us after we asked them. As for food, we had rack of lamb and steak, with loaded baked potato. Steak & rack of lamb needed more seasoning. Steak was ordered medium but it was cooked unevenly, one part was medium rare, so at the end, not worth the money. I would order pasta dishes instead. Baked potato tasted like it was cooked in microwave. Ask for the toppings on the side. Caesar salad was good. Side of sautéed mushroom and the onion chutney with rack of lamb was good. Our waitress was very good. read more

While not a huge fan of the name (it's a little silly, in my opinion), I was impressed by the ambiance, food and service. It was very crowded for 7pm on a Tuesday night, which I took as a good sign. There's ample parking and the exterior landscaping very pretty, two huge patios with heaters and fans. Inside, the layout is open and spacious; not many booths, unfortunately. Room lighting great, music a little too loud and AC a little chilly for me. Definitely good for larger gatherings, date night or happy hour/girl's night. We ordered the following: Beet salad: Large portion you can add protein as you like. Dressed perfectly and great balance of toppings. Enough to share and we loved it! Hangar Steak & mushrooms: Steak came sliced, well salted and medium rare. Very tender and juicy, the mushrooms are also delicious in a light cream sauce, would order again. Would be great with a side of rice or bread to soak up the yummy sauce. Lobster tail: We ordered from the "Sides" menu and it's a great deal at $22, well sized and cooked nicely with garlic, lemon and drawn butter. Loaded Baked potato: They have one under "Appetizers" and one under "Sides," we ordered from the "Sides" and it was large, toppings are generous except for the bacon, we only found one little piece. Still enjoyable and very filling. We ordered two glasses of wine and one cocktail. Wine is decently priced with pretty standard, mainstream options at varying price points; not much that would impress an oenophile but solid options. Cocktail was "50 Shades of Green" with gin and basil and cucumber, I ordered easy sweetener and it came out exactly to my liking! I look forward to trying more of their creations. All the food was a generous portion and felt of good quality. In addition, our server Iverson, was attentive, polite and pleasant to interact with. I would request to be in his section if I were to return. I really hope they continue the great service and high quality product so that they are with us for a long time. read more

The ambiance and decor of this lounge is absolutely stunning went to celebrate nurses week. The drinks were made very good. Service was good I think the food could have been better I do not recommend anyone to get the 16 oz prime rib steak it was mostly fat and very under seasoned. The lamb chops were decent however very small and skimpy for it to be a rack. Sweet potato fries with ranch absolutely amazing. I think if you don't order steak here you'll be fine they have a wide range of dishes! If you order the lamb just remember they'll be extra skinny chops or at least that was my experience. Enjoy ! read more

Have a wonderful family outing at Dapper yet again. We all sampled each other's entrees of the Dapper King Salmon, New York Steak and Filet Mignon with sides of macaroni and cheese, purple garlic mashed potatoes (a definite must), and asparagus. We started our evening off with an order of sweet potato fries and French fried while ending our night by splitting the butter cake (truly amazing). It is nice sharing a wonderful experience in our hometown! The Dapper staff was amazing and extremely accommodating. read more

This place is seriously beautiful and such a great spot. It's perfect for a date night, girls' dinner, or honestly any occasion. Our server Stephanie was amazing. She was fun, super attentive, and really knew the menu well, which made everything even better. The food was so good. We all ordered something different and every dish was a hit. I got the steak sandwich and the steak was incredibly tender, like melt-in-your-mouth good. My cousin had the lemon piccata and loved how flavorful it was. Another friend got the Cajun chicken pasta and said the spice level was perfect. The Alfredo that my friend got with the vegetables was one of the best Alfredos I've ever had! Highly recommend this place. We'll definitely be back. read more

Great food and service. Parking is a hassle and Valet is not always available Prices are reasonable read more

Our food did take a while to come out, but that was an accidental mishap of our order not being submitted after our server took our orders. Our server Vanessa was sincerely apologetic about this and didn't charge us for our coffee drinks, and she also bought dessert for our group, a Butter Cake which was extremely moist and not too sweet, perfect topper to a yummy meal. I loved my regular hot latte and my pasta dish Tequila Cream Shrimp Pasta. One of the BEST pastas I've had recently, would definitely reorder if I ever return to dine at Dapper. I also loved the modern 1920s retro design and the green glasses and overall black green white interior colors. read more

I recently had a disappointing experience at Dapper Dine and Lodge that I feel compelled to share. After spending a significant amount of money, $600.00; my family was unexpectedly asked to leave our seats. The owner approached me in front of the entire restaurant, stating that other guests were waiting to be seated. However, we hadn't finish our drinks and dessert. What made this situation even more troubling was the observation that other guests, who appeared to be of a lighter hue, were allowed to remain seated for an extended period without being asked to leave. This disparity in treatment felt both unacceptable and offensive, leading me to perceive the interaction as laced with bigotry and unprofessionalism. Given this experience, I have decided against returning to Dapper Dine and Lodge and would encourage others to consider spending their money elsewhere. It is important for establishments to treat all patrons with respect and fairness, and my experience did not reflect these values. We only sat in our seats for 7 minutes before the encounter with owner! I await management to address my concerns. read more

Incredible restaurant, great food and great vibe!!! Highly recommend for any occasion.

Visiting this place is like being transported out of Riverside and into BoujeeLand. The interior is modern, upscale, and visually appealing. The bar is cool and the open kitchen is a nice touch. The service is exemplary, attentive and polite. I felt like a VIP. A friend and I came for lunch. I started with a mocktail - the Strawberry Basil Refresher. Made with mashed strawberries, fresh basil, and mint with a bit of lime juice, simple syrup, and soda water, this drink was bright and refreshing. For lunch, I ordered Fettuccini Alfredo and added blackened chicken. The pasta was made perfectly and the alfredo sauce was to die for. The perfectly sculpted chicken pieces were only mildly blackened but they paired perfectly with the dish. Some delicious grilled brioche toast was included which I appreciated because I'm one of those guys who loves to use toast to sop up any leftover sauce in the bowl. The restaurant has its own parking lot so that's a big plus in downtown Riverside. We made reservations which I recommend because the dining area was rather full. read more
