Best French Restaurants in Riverside

They’re back. New players or old, whoever is behind the reincarnation of this classic establishment has nailed it. Amazing staff throughout plus a great menu backed up by a kitchen that turns out delicious, beautifully presented dishes. All in a venue with a magical, transformative ambiance.

L”Escale has never disappointed us, good food and service.

I met 4 of my oldest friends at Bistro Versailles on a Tuesday evening to celebrate two of the group’s birthdays. Our dinner reunion could not have been more enjoyable! The food was delicious and the service impeccable. We will certainly return.

The experience was very nice. The food was excellent. I had chicken martini, while my wife had spaghetti with shrimp fra diavlo. Both were expertly prepared. We shared a tri-color salad, which was good but because we shared it, you would say its on the smaller side. No dessert. Wait staff was attentive. It was a Tuesday night and not very busy so we were well cared for. All-in-all, it was very pleasant.

GERARD greeted us most cordially and offered us prime seating by the window. As we enjoyed our cocktails, I reviewed the menu for something I hadn’t tried in the past… of course we had to have the Lobster Shooters first… but instead of one of the many seafood offerings which I usually enjoy, I decided on the Duck served with Lo Mein noodles…fantastic! Chef Adrian never ceases to amaze. We will be back soon.
