Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Rider offers a delightful dining experience with "great service and food," featuring a diverse menu of fresh seafood and steaks. The "creative and innovative" dishes, such as the Chilean Sea Bass and perfectly cooked salmon, receive high praise. While some diners note slower service during busy times, the attentive staff and pleasant ambiance make it a popular choice, especially for pre-theater meals near the Paramount.

Waited on quickly and didn’t have to wait long for any orders of drinks or food. Amount of food to value was low. Wait staff friendly and went above and beyond.

We had a delicious brunch here before a Saturday matinee at ACT. Service was attentive and the food was great. We particularly enjoyed the endive salad with a *perfectly* cooked piece of salmon, and the Korean-influenced pastrami sandwich. Yummy all the way around.

Ate at Rider due to the proximity to the Paramount Theatre before a show. Limited NW menu of fresh seafood and steaks. All well prepared and presented. Everything was delicious and would come back again. 20% service charge was added to the bill. I had the scallops and my wife had the beef filet. For 4 persons the bill was $380.

Food was ok. Nothing special. I had half chicken out fingerling potatoes. My husband had pork belly. We shared potatoes. Drinks are expensive just like every bar in the area 20% gratuity automatically added

Spent a lot of money on Mothers Day/Birthday/Anniversary dinner on cold main courses (steak,chicken, burgers) best food was potatoes on side. No refills till meal over. Told 1 waitress in entire place and would not seat us at table when requested. Had three senior relatives that had to sit on bar height table stools. So disappointed that we complained to hotel also. The waitress was nice but overwhelmed I believe. A cold steak and cold burger for our mom’s really did not make for an enjoyable experience. For price go up to Ruth Chris!

It was a wonderful champagne brunch. The food is excellent and service is great once you get past the host. The Asian one was very unwelcoming and seated a larger table early and made our table of two wait outside for 10 mins. Same reservation times. Have had other unpleasant experiences with the front hosts. It is very strange.

Food was great, although 1 dish came out about 5 minutes after the other 3. The service was not good. We had to wait over 15 minutes and finally had to go ask for the bill and then another 10 minutes to get our cards back.
