Legend has it that actor John Wayne frequented the restaurant for a hearty American breakfast along with many travelers from all over the world. From 1960 on, Riley’s Café would change ownership many times, evolving into a furniture store, French restaurant, tequila company, and catering business.

Let me start with saying, this is the best place around. Food quality and ingredients like oysters mushrooms in my dish , prime cut meat for my partner and wagyu burger for a kid, are something to be proud about serving. Service is very good, owners are very pleasant and present, which means a lot. It screams that they care. Ambiance is unique, beautiful heated garden as no other place in town. Almost forgot about coctails. They are great, very well price only $18 for quality drinks. I like them slightly sweet, so mine was perfect and my partner asked for something spicy, and they listened and got it right.
