Great local place to go for dinner and/or drinks. The entrees and apps have always been scrumptious and I dig the 50’s/60’s era hipster decor.

Riff's is my go-to spot for seriously good grub. It's like pub-food sandwiches, pizza, burgers, salads and the like, but it's made really well and is always super tasty. Never had a bad meal there. You can also eat and drink at the attached Hideaway Lounge for a more bar-like experience.
