Rider offers a vibrant dining experience with "fantastic service" and a delightful atmosphere. Patrons rave about the "great food" and inventive menu, perfect for pre-theater meals.

    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.

    We went for the Mother’s Day brunch. The restaurant was nearly empty. We were hoping to be seated in the center area of the restaurant. There was pushback and we sat in the back by the kitchen We irdered bread. It was was disappointing. Three pieces of two of them very dry though oily. Butter no jam no seconds. $12. Wife had eggs Benedict. I had an omelet. Disappointed. My wife’s bacon side arrived 10 minutes before her main course. My omelet was like warm and lacked flavor or salt. We had mimosas and my my wife had a desert

    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.

    The place was pretty empty on a Saturday afternoon, but the service was really really really bad. Don’t get me wrong, the staff were nice but not efficient. We got there at 12:30 for brunch and didn’t get our food till almost 2pm! Anything we asked for we had to wait quite a bit of time for. The food was decent, but the service really made the whole experience less appealing.

    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.
