    We have come to Rider multiple times and have always had a memorable dining experience, but last night was exceptional. We had a slight reservation mixup before coming in, and the Rider team more than made up for it. Our server Brenda was not only extremely efficient and professional at moving us through a seamless dining experience, but we really enjoyed chatting with her throughout the night as well. We had the brioche bread service, the mussels, and a surf and turf with the carrots and brussel sprouts on the side - all curated by the Rider team and tailored for a dairy restriction. The fantastic chefs popped in on us throughout the evening as well. We also enjoyed the wine pairing. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will be back for the Fire & Ice!

    We had an early dinner prior to a show at the Paramount. Had great service from James! His first question was any alllergies to be aware of? And a follow up question to specifically understand my allergy. As someone who often has to have multiple ingredients removed, I had a delicious salad with grilled shrimp with only goat cheese removed. It was delicious and satisfying. The profiteroles with huckleberry ice cream and my husbands bread pudding are two of many things that will bring us back again. Bonus that the desserts were served by Scott, the executive chef. 😁
