This is one of four restaurants located in Riverside’s famed Mission Inn Hotel & Spa. Visitors can eat indoors or on the restaurant’s Spanish patio. The menu of fancy comfort food with international accents features breakfast, lunch and dinner. Among the more notable dinner entrees are the pappardelle pasta with ground lamb and hot Italian sausage; the seared filet of sand dabs (North American flatfish); and the braised prime beef short ribs. For lunch, the restaurant offers sandwiches, chicken pot pie, quesadillas, turkey meat loaf and more.

Located in Riverside’s fashionable Mission Inn district promenade, this cozy restaurant is a local favorite, serving up authentic creole and Cajun cuisine. The menu offers a range of familiar dishes, including jambalaya, shrimp etouffe, gumbo and oxtail. There’s also a variety of ribs from which to choose. For breakfast, the restaurant offers at least ten different entrees ranging from traditional (French toast) to unconventional (Catfish, eggs and grits). The interior seating area is small but comfortable; there’s also limited outdoor seating. Carry out and catering available. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Located just off the Mission Inn promenade, this upscale French-Japanese fusion restaurant is considered by some to be among the finest dining experiences in Riverside. The menu changes monthly. Starters recently included salads, sashimi style hamachi and a stew of mussels and soft shell crab. The menu offered an eclectic array of entrees, including duroc pork, roast quail and Japanese bream (a type of fish). A tasting menu and extensive wine list are also available. The décor is stylish and tasteful.
