Riverside Cafe.

Riverside Cafe is supposed to have an amazing Sunday-only brunch, but Rob and I decided to forgo that for now and try out their lunch menu this past weekend.  Based on a recommendation from several friends, we’ve been wanting to try out Riverside for a little while now, especially since their menu is so varied—featuring everything from traditional sandwiches and soups to more adventurous Cuban and Mexican fare.  I stuck with a traditional reuben sandwich with corned beef and 1000 island dressing and Rob opted for a chipotle chicken sandwich with lettuce and tomato on a kaiser roll.  Both of our sandwiches were really delicious and well-made and insanely cheap at just under $8 apiece.  Riverside has so much to choose from that it’s definitely worth several visits just to take it all in.  I’m sure Rob and I will be back again soon.
