Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Rider offers a "great vibe" with consistently "excellent food" and "fantastic service," perfect for pre-theater dining with its convenient location. While Brenda, a standout server, enhances the experience, the automatic gratuity and occasional service delays are noteworthy. Diverse menu highlights include clam chowder, scallops, and cocktails.

    Very disappointed. For a high end restaurant with a 20% service charge it did not live up to our expectations. Our server disappeared after our order was taken never to be seen again. The restaurant wasn’t 20% full. Don’t understand the total lack of service. When your charged premium prices you expect premium service.

    Food tasted pretty good for Seattle area dining. Service was a bit unpolished, but nothing to really complain about. Food took a while to prepare and come out. The prices were a little high for the amount of food given, or value of food and service. Honestly wished their menu had a few more options. The open kitchen made the entire place smelling of smoke and I wish I knew that before making an appointment. They add an auto gratuity of 20%. I would return, but with considerations in mind regarding smell, budget, and service expectations.

    Calamari was barely edible - undercooked and chewy. They forgot our fries. Salads and pasta were good.

    Very good lunch at Rider. The only negative was that they didn’t have much staff for what turned out to be a busy lunch hour. So the staff was good but overwhelmed.

    The food and atmosphere were good, and the service during our meal was pleasant. However, I left the restaurant feeling quite disappointed and uncomfortable. For a party of just two people, a 20% service charge was added to our bill without any clear explanation or notice from the staff. This felt misleading, as we were not informed, and I ended up unknowingly adding an additional $88.03 in tip. Since realizing this, I have tried to contact the restaurant multiple times — phone calls go unanswered with a full voicemail box, and my email and OpenTable messages have not been returned. I find it unacceptable for a restaurant of this level to charge a large, automatic gratuity without informing the customer and then provide no response when there’s a legitimate issue. I sincerely hope management will take this seriously and respond soon.
