    Burnt soup and grilled cheese sandwich

    We have been to the Riverside previously and liked their pizza and wings but after lunch there yesterday we will never go back! My granddaughter ordered the special of broccoli cheese soup and grilled cheese. The soup tasted burnt and the bread for the sandwich looked just very slightly toasted, not grilled. The slice of cheese not even melted. My son's sub had barely any meat on it, and the wings were drowning in sauce. The service was awful too! Waited 20 minutes for refills on our drinks cause our waitress was tending bar. We didn't want to make a scene but I hated paying for barely edible food. Save yourself the trouble and don't go there!

    Great small bites. I recommend you trying the Elote dip it was AMAZING and perfect for sharing with…read moretwo or more friends! They have great drink specials for different days of the week! Very speedy service all of their bartenders are very sweet and will fix whatever drink to your liking The vibes are disco balls on the ceiling very open very Miami Beach vibes they have an indoor and an outdoor seating area not only that they have fireplaces. If you get a little too far from their heated porch area! The vibes just don't stop. They have an aesthetic fireplace in side as well as a fake tree in the middle beautiful for taking pictures Their bathrooms are adorable, but you might have to wait a little bit on a busy day. But this is the same problem with every bar. Very glad that they have more than one bathroom.

    Okay, so wow. Durham has upped its game in terms of its social scene. We got to the VH at like 9?…read more9:30? on a Friday night and the line to get in was down at least one flight of stairs to the second floor. It did move fast for us so we were able to get in about 10 minutes later or so. It was latin night so the music was tailored to that so I won't comment on what that was like. The outdoor patio was wonderful. Not too loud. Some good seating options. You can access the bar from out there too. Took awhile to get to order while waiting in line. I had something purple... french 75? It was just okay. Jell-o shots were made with MEZCAL that night which my group found sooo gross. So beware. Overall I see the hype. But when we left around 10:30 or so the line was down the stairs, out the door, and down the block. I don't know if it was worth THAT.
