The lobster stew came in generous portions—definitely hearty enough to be a main course rather than an appetizer.
Brussels sprouts with bacon-onion jam were expertly prepared but just missing that extra spark of wow.
The 7 oz sirloin with veggies was tasty overall, though it leaned a bit too salty for my taste. The raw and steamed oysters, however, were outstanding—fresh and perfect.
Clearly a local favorite; the place was packed. That said, we were unexpectedly asked to remove our hats while seated—something I’ve literally never encountered in a supposedly “casual” spot. First time for everything, I guess!
We’ll definitely be returning.
I gave it a try again (came alone again). This time I made reservations. It took a couple min to be seated but not bad at all. I ordered house salad, oysters, crab cakes and wine. The water had no ice which is a sign of a good restaurant. I hate ice in my water. The garden salad had appropriate amount of dressing and greens were bite size so I didn’t feel like I was a rabbit. I was happy with my salad.
What I noticed is that the table was sticky. My phone actually stuck to the table. Maybe it’s just finish of the table plus their cleaning stuff: still not good. My wine came 20min after I put in my order, not good again, especially when you dine alone. You need booze STAT.
The main course came right after my appetizer.
Crab cakes were good, slightly too salty for my taste. A small complain I have is that they were luke warm, I would enjoy more if they were hot.
The atmosphere of the restaurant had a good vibe, not loud, lighting was slightly dim but you can see the menu and your food (even without reading glasses). For dessert I had hazelnut gelato. It was very good and enormous amount.
To summarize, it’s a good restaurant but need more attention to details.
It was very busy when we arrived and the bar area was very noisy, so we opted for outdoor dining and that was pleasant. The ladies room had only one working stall.
Overall we will not be returning.
The food was phenomenal — every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The drinks were top tier, and the overall atmosphere made the evening feel special and seamless. I truly can’t say enough about the level of professionalism, hospitality, and quality we experienced. I highly recommend Riverstone Chophouse for any special occasion or night out — they will not disappoint.

This place is wildly over-priced for what you actually get. The atmosphere is decent, I’ll give them that, although one painting was crooked on the wall and I swear it stared at me all night like it knew something I didn’t. I almost got up to fix it myself. Missed opportunity for community service.
The real problem was the food. My steak was supposed to be medium well and came out well done, then kept going just to make sure. Another steak at the table was ordered medium rare and showed up looking like it still had future plans. The vegetables were so crunchy I briefly wondered if we were being tested for jaw strength.
Overall, it was a letdown. We walked in with High Hopes like Panic! at the Disco and walked out feeling Disappointed like Death Grips.
Honestly, we probably would have been better off at Texas Roadhouse or Outback Steakhouse. At least there you know exactly what you are signing up for, and the steak does not come with an existential crisis.
Avoid at all (way over-priced, I reiterate) costs.
PS: the waitress had zero sense of humor, as well.
