   We came here to celebrate my boyfriend's 60th birthday so it was a very special occasion. It was his first time at the Mission Inn and both a first for us to eat at Duane's. Our 16 oz. rib eye steaks were so deliciously seasoned and cooked and paired well with asparagus and green beans. Our waiter Dean suggested we only order one mashed potatoes as it was enough for two, we appreciated that. For dessert we shared the bread pudding and it was so good. Dean was awesome and personable as our waiter. We'll definitely come back for special occasions.

   First time at Duane's and I was looking forward to the ambiance, service and food. The restaurant is inside the historical Mission Inn in downtown Riverside. Elegant and grand are words to describe it. Only complaint in regards to ambiance was it was far too warm inside. The service was impeccable. Our server, Dean, was attentive and even offered to snap a pic of us. If I could rate solely on service, I'd give this restaurant five stars; HOWEVER, the food was only subpar. I ordered the lobster and the Bestie ordered a steak. We ordered the truffle mac-n-cheese and sautéed mushrooms as our sides. I also ordered a sparkling water which was room temp. I was advised that it had not had a chance to chill before serving. The lobster was a bit tough. The mushrooms tasted too much of wine and not the earthy rich taste for which I was hoping. The biggest disappointment was the truffle mac. We had been talking about how we could not wait to try it. It tasted like boxed grocery macaroni and cheese. Very disappointing. Did I mention any of this to our server? Nope. Why? Because the service was so great. Will I go back? No, thanks!

   The food was ok, we have had better steak and lamb at other places. My husbands had a steak and parts of it was rare. He asked for medium. The server we had to as great. The music they had playing was a little annoying because it was on repeat and sounded like elevator music. I think for the price we paid we wouldn’t come back because the meat was underwhelming. I don’t recommend this place for their meat.

   Just absolutely love Duane’s, we have been here several times throughout the years and it has never disappointed. This particular occasion it was expectacular! We had the best server, Alisa. She explained items on the menu, made exceptional suggestions for the table making our night more satisfying. If you haven’t been to Duane’s, visit and request Alisa as your server, if you have been to Duane’s and have not experience the service of Alisa, ask for her. She was the BEST server we have experienced. Not to take anything from all the other servers, I’m sure they are all great! But Alisa went above and beyond. As for the food, from the appetizers to the main course and the desserts, all was prepared to perfection.

    The Food did not disappoint. The service was excellent very attentive waitress, constantly checking on our table. Server kept the water glasses full and coffee after dinner. The noise level was a tad bit louder then I remembered sometimes hard to hear our guests speaking. Will always come back, especially celebrating a special occasion. The Festival of Lights was still on making the ambience that much more spectacular.

    As usual everything was great at Duane's. There was always someone around if you needed anything and the food was great. The only issue we would have is that we were not informed that the street was closed and that we could NOT get normal "drive up and let someone else park it"! We are use to the horses/buggies and the ability to drive right up for valet parking. Instead we cruised around until we got lucky. Once inside everyone gets an A!

    Very disappointed in the food. My wife's snails were way over spiced with something. My caesar salad was one of the worst I've every had. Steak was just OK and the mushrooms were way overcooked.

    2 hour drive to get overcooked and dry ribeye steak. The mushrooms were also dry with no flavor. They looked like leftovers from the night before. For the prices they charge, you would think that they know how to grill a steak. The service was only average. I definitely would not come back. Disappointing dinner for my wife's birthday. This was our first time eating here. Much better options closer to home.

    Beautiful hotel and restaurant, but the food was not good (tough filet and tough New York steaks, cold potatoes, mediocre crab cake). Our assistant was friendly and efficient. Our server was cold and seemed like he wanted to be somewhere else. I know all restaurant teams have had a difficult few years. I come into my dining experiences with that understanding. The servers for the tables near us had smiles on their faces and engaged with their customers. Ours did not. I would skip this expensive restaurant and just enjoy a drink in the Presidential Lounge where we had very good service.

    Sadly we traveled to have a meal at this restaurant. Service was fine but a little overdone. Food was terrible.. everyone at the table kept reaching for the salt. The food was really nothing special and definitely not worth the price. If they put less effort in swarming the table and more effort into making really amazing food you might get somewhere. Do not recommend.

    My first time at Duan’s was the worse experience ever. I was told at the last minute you can’t order off the menu and we had to eat at the buffet next door. The food was cold and not good for $75 per person. I had a terrible Christmas ☹️

    We made 8:30pm reservation and got there at around 8:20. The waiter at the door checked us in and said they were kinda busy tonight and our table might be ready in about 15 mins and they would give us a phone call when our table was ready. We didn’t get a call till 9:15 and we just went to the door and asked. At the beginning, the waiter said he would check the table now and then lead us to the table right away. However, when he was back to us , he said the kitchen was overwhelmed and couldn’t take order anymore tonight. That is so ridiculous. If the restaurant couldn’t handle this much ppl, just not be overbooked. Worst Christmas dinner experience ever!!

    We were on a waiting list for several months to get a dinner table for Christmas Day . We luckily got cleared a few weeks beforehand and arrived promptly at 7PM, the time of our reservation. We were advised there’d be an approximate 40 minute wait , which turned out to indeed be the case. The food , service and ambience were all top notch - The Mission Inn in all of its holiday glory , complete with Carolers.

    Caeser salad had a vinegar flavor rather than creamy. Tomatoes on burrata were not ripe, so had no flavor. Service was very slow but it was a very busy night. They also say that they have a dress code but do not.

    Made 6 pm reservations for Christmas Day dinner at Dwayne with my wife. Ordered as soon as waiter could take our order. Two hours later, we received cold steaks. Sent back twice, came back cold each time. Baked potato was also cold and no sour cream or butter provided. Waiter said he would remove the baked potato charge. Never offered dessert or coffee. Terrible $200 dinner. Avoid this place.

    Food was ok somewhat disappointing. However, the service was terrible. I had to continuously ask when my food was coming. The server was just horrible! For the amount of money I paid, I have to honestly say it was horrible by far the worse experience. By the time my food arrived I was not hungry. The place is beautiful but the service is terrible. Will never go again!
