Restaurants near Riverside Park

Had a business dinner for 10. Everyone had a great time. The drinks and food were excellent. Great job all around.

Our waiter was excellent and on the ball with our drinks and everything.

The best food I have had in Cedar Rapids hands down. We had the Wild Mushroom Arancini - so crunchy on the outside yet creamy on the inside, ceasar salad - just the right amount of dressing, so fresh, French onion soup - my boyfriend LOVES French onion soup and said this one sets the new bar, 8oz. filet - the best steak I think I’ve ever put in my mouth, 14oz. New York strip - my boyfriend said was the best steak he has had in a very long time, Boursin whipped mashed potatoes - I couldn’t get enough of these omg. We did not have enough room for desert but the people next to us did and it looked fantastic. Will be back for sure!

Me and my special lady decided to celebrate post Valentine’s Day with a nice dinner, wine and view of the city skyline and it was a beautiful evening we both enjoyed

Salads were excellent. Wife got the berry salad and added tofu, I had the Buffalo chicken salad. Highly recommend those. Pretzel bites were good but it was a small portion in my opinion, Good cheese sauce. French fries were breaded, but good. Kids mac n cheese very good. Carolina burger was the only disappointing food item which honestly sounded like a great burger, I think they might have forgotten the sauce, it was very bland and the description sounded like it would explode in my mouth. Service was sub par. Sever was unable to recommend an IPA or other beer. With that many beers on tap all employees should be able to recommend one, even if it's just based on the name. Chairs weren't very comfy and the music was loud. Employees standing at the bar talking were using inappropriate language and there were a lot of children in the restaurant. My review sounds kind of harsh, not meant to be, I'd go again.
