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 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.

    I had read the trout was flavorless and I would agree. Even some salt and pepper would have helped. I would never order that again but the scallops were great fresh and flavorful. Carrots hard no one liked them. Parmesan fries yummy but Caesar salad bland again with no flavor. With so many other great places to go likely will not be back except for maybe their clam chowder which was super good. The automatic gratuity is a turn off too but our waitress was worth it so that would not cause me to change my mind about returning if the had been uniformly better especially for price point.

    We had the seafood plateau, the agnolotti, rigatoncini, and the hamachi. The agnolotti was undercooked but, the sauce was so delicious that we ate it all. Our servers were awesome.

    I had the steak frites. The steak itself was very tendon-y. Not my favorite but the fries were good. Maybe I just got a bad cut? My wife had the burger and she liked it.
