Open for dinner
Riverside on the Root
lunch & dinner casual dining with good-sounding, but bland-tasting, thus over-prized entrees with rushed and slightly grumpy service, role-modeled by the owners. but the location and atmosphere is grand if you can get a table on the river patio or balcony and if don't have too high expectations about food quality and service, it's worth a visit [downtown, 109 s. parkway ave]
Other dining
