I just ate dinner here, and the experience was outstanding. The NY strip was cooked perfectly, the fries were delicious, and it was the perfect amount of food. The decor is great. The lighting is dim, which gives it a more cozy feeling. The service was great. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The prices were also reasonable. You definitely get a good bang for your buck here.

The menu at Rileys consistently features unique options. We ordered a striped steak, salmon, and trout, and all three dishes were excellent. This charming spot off the beaten path never disappoints. The photos below showcase clam chowder, scallops with a Niçoise salad, and Irish cream pie.

This restaurant has become a reliable favorite thanks to its rotating menu that keeps us coming back every few weeks. The house-made breads are exceptional and always a highlight of our visits. The only reason I deducted a star is because the desserts can be hit or miss, and unfortunately, there are more misses than hits. When the desserts are good, they are perfectly balanced, light, and provide a satisfying conclusion to the meal. However, when they miss the mark, they can be overly rich and heavy, which detracts from the overall dining experience.

One of the best dinner date locations, intimate yet comfortable. A one of a kind menu that changes ALL THE TIME yet usually offers something for everyone. My date had an almond encrusted rainbow trout that she said was excellent and I tried an interesting salad which had some large fried ravioli atop very good.
